How to Wear Nicki Minaj and MAC’s Pink Friday
I’m not here to discuss Nicki Minaj’s music or to present an analysis or spoken word poem about her as an artist…this post is all about the lipstick. Nicki Minaj and MAC just came out with a lipstick, in honor of her album Pink Friday. Pink Friday is a very girly, very opaque satin pink….
RIP, Gregory Isaacs – The Cool Ruler
What’s the hallmark of being an icon in your musical field?

Hairstylist Kenneth Walker Speaks His Mind on Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls
My IT&LY Hairfashion experience was truly epic and amazing on many levels. Not only did I get to go to Vegas and enjoy the VIP experience, not only did I get my hair done by an award winning stylist…but I got to meet and interview and bond with some of the most incredibly accomplished hairstylists…
Rachel Roy’s AHA Moment
Recently, gorgeous and fabulous fashion designer had what Oprah might call, an “aha moment.” No, it didn’t come during my interview with her about plus size fashion (although I’m hoping inspiration struck there…HEY Rachel!).

During New York Fashion Week, I made it to one actual fashion show…but I time for many meet and greets, dinners, breakfasts and fun with fellow bloggers and the brands I L-O-V-E love. One of the absolute highlights of this year’s New York Fashion Week was my trip to the Carol’s Daughter flagship store on…
Event Recap: Cocktails and Couture
I missed the first hour of Cocktails and Couture because I was my typically slow self and catching a cab in NYC is a hellish experience for me. But I wasted no time in hugging, meeting, greeting, and celebrating my beauty and fashion blogger besties as soon as I got there! Here I am with…
Yesterday’s NYFW Celebrity Sighting
It’s J. Alexander, AKA Miss J from America’s Next Top Model! Right after the Christian Siriano show I was waiting for friends outside Lincoln Center. I’m happy to report that Miss Jay was cordial with fans and paused to take pictures (but I was a bit too shy to ask!)
