Brand To Know: Horace
I’m not the type of girl who discovers a brand and follow it tooth and nail — picking up every piece from each collection. In fact, I’d like to think I’m just the opposite. Labels don’t appeal to me. When I’m shopping and going through the racks, I’m almost daring a piece to jump out...

Sweaters are cool. Just think about the unpretentious swag owned by two of America’s greatest icons: Mr. Rogers and Heathcliff Huxtable.

By: I’kerra Amos Why are primers and/or bases essential to the application of eyeshadow? Primers and bases act as an adhesive, a glue of sorts to give the eyeshadow something to stick to. There are many benefits to utilizing these products such as color payoff, anti-straying and anti-creasing. Those factors themselves are worth the effort....
Book Review: Commander In Chic By Mikki Taylor
One of my co-workers gave me a copy of Mikki Taylor’s, Commander In Chic, a chronicle and how-to of First Lady Michelle Obama’s style and I must say that it is a must read. When it comes to style books I am a tough critic. To me, so many fall into the category of dull,...

Sick Inspiration

Whenever I pull the “all-nighter” I spend most of my time browsing blogs, YouTube, and checking out my email offers of some of the favorite *e-tiques.
