The Look | Tomboy Terrain
There is so much pressure that comes along with being a woman. You’re expected to wear sky-high heels 24-7 and keep your hair and makeup done at movie star standards.

Joe Fresh Flagship Store Brings Spark Back to New York Shopping
I’m a picky shopper. A bit of a snob if you will. New York is supposed to be one of the major fashion capitols of the world, yet there isn’t much variety here. I would say this lack of variety all began once H&M, Zara, and Forever 21 began to eat this city alive. I...

Alicia Keys and Angela Simmons Rock Heavy Duty Neckwear! Are You Into It?
If there was ever a time to implement the attitude “go hard or go hard” to one’s take on fashion, that occasion would likely be for the Grammy’s or some time during New York Fashion Week.

Now Trending: Sea Blue Earrings
I often find myself flipping through fashion magazines feeling less than inspired. Most people don’t know this, but I’m a magazine hoarder in secret. It’s a bad addiction to have. My magazine’s are my babies. As someone who constantly views editorials, it’s very rare that I land on a page that makes me want to...
