Calling All Models: Purple Lab Wants YOU!
Last September during New York Fashion Week, I had the pleasure of meeting Karen Robinovitz, the dynamo creatrix behind Purple Lab. It was as close to meeting Carrie Bradshaw as I’ll ever get. Karen is a firecracker. She’s sweet, petite, dressed to the nines, and so dedicated to the business of beauty that it’s inspiring [...]

TJ Maxxing and Relaxing
Giveaways always make me happy and excited, but my recent TJ Maxx giveaway had this bella feeling over the moon.

Black Weblog Awards Winner – 3 Years Running!
