Every so often I wind up in a place or a situation where I wonder…whose life is this? And how did I get here? I had that experience in Las Vegas recently, when I was flown in as a VIP attendee for the IT&LY Hairfashion “Hollywood Loves IT&LY” event at the Hard Rock Hotel and…

Want Of The Week: Tory Burch’s BCA Boots

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I’ll be sharing my top picks for the hottest pink items out there. First stop – Tory Burch….
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!). And it didn’t happen last night when she was on Project Runway. (did you see her? HEY Rachel!) Rachel’s moment came…
Plus Size Designer Collaborations at Target – Best Idea EVER!
An idea has been marinating in my mind for the last few weeks. It was sparked when I went shopping in the suburbs of Illinois, and realized how many items of beautiful plus size designer clothing was for sale. TJ Maxx. Nordstrom Rack. Marshalls. All of these stores had heavy racks of Calvin Klein, Ralph…
NYFW Look of the Day – Last Day in Lace
I was due to leave New York on Monday afternoon, but boy oh boy I didn’t account for the dramatics of the day. First things first – you know that Afrobella is typically a positive blog. I try not to trash something unless I’ve had an absolutely abhorrent experience. And this is why, when I…
NYFW Look of the Day – The Nine West Blogger Breakfast

Mixing and mingling, trying on and giggling, admiring Nine West’s amazing shoes for Fall. We had SUCH a FABULOUS time. And this is what I wore! Striped black…
Event Recap: My NYFW Natural Hair Blogger Meetup in NYC!
It all started on Twitter, when I mentioned I’d be in town for New York Fashion Week. First one natural hair blogger mentioned they wanted to meet me. Then another. Then I said – what if I had some kind of natural hair blogger meetup during Fashion Week? After that, the concept snowballed into something…
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…
NYFW Outfit Of The Day – Cocktails and Couture!
When my friends Lianne Farbes and Kristin Booker announced they’d be cohosting a party called Cocktails and Couture, I knew that I had to be there to support my amigas, and that I wanted to look special. You can’t show up to a beauty and fashion blogger soiree without turning it OUT! This was my…
Diesel Black Gold – The Only Runway Show For Me
This year for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, I found myself dealing with transportation and accomodation issues and other only-in-NYC drama, which led me to miss many Lincoln Center experiences. But as good fortune would have it, there was one show in the cards that I was able to make without a problem. And it was a…
