“Don’t believe me jus watch!!”

Plums
So there's this new rapper that's blowing up everywhere named Trinidad James & I have no idea what to make of him. My lil brother told me about him, showed me his video & I was so enthralled, to say the least, by his appearance that I barely paid attention to the music. When I referred to him all I could talk about was how crazy he looked & I try not to make a habit of being shallow, so I said let me give his music a chance. A few days later his song "All Gold Everything" comes on the radio but once again I'm distracted by every other word being bleeped out to focus on the song!!, which in my mind if you hafta bleep out that much it probably shouldn't…

Cropped on the Comeback

Reds
Much like smoking slippers and monogrammed pieces, cropped trousers are an article of clothing every woman should have in her closet. Adaptable for a wide range of occasions, this workwear staple is surprisingly flattering for most figures; try a pleated style if you want a roomier, thigh-concealing fit, while flat-front versions offer a slimmer silhouette. Even better: the ankle-grazing hemline adds a touch of femininity to this menswear-inspired essential and perfectly highlights a standout pair of heels. A wardrobe classic to be sure, cropped trousers have certainly seen their fair share of updates over the years, but this season's renditions prove to be a cut above the rest. Rich fabrics and of-the-moment prints demand the spotlight, while lending the pants a fall-appropriate look. Want to know which styles to look for? Read on…

Loafer Love!!!

Reds
Loafers. Smoking slippers. Dandy slippers. Flats. Whatever you call em, I love em!! lol! I'm not that into sneakers -I'll look at em but I'm not paying $150+ for shoes that I know wont be worn for their purpose i.e. Jordans that never see a basketball court! Nope, not I! Although I am the chick that will spend the same $150 on a pair of heels that I only wear once a year. Call it a contradiction, I don't care, I'm a heel girl! lol! The only problem with that is I'm not Coco, I can't wear heels all day, everyday, 365. My back would curse me out & I'm occasionally clumsy so I'd probably end up tripping over cords at the news station! On my heels-off days I like…

Staying Cute & Warm: Layering!!

Reds
Fall weather is a bit like a roller coaster relationship—one day it's sunny and bright, the next it's bleak and chilly. My solution to the seasonal wardrobe limbo is simple: layering. Besides being utterly practical, layered outfits are also downright fun to create. Figuring out the right combination of proportion, color, and texture is the sort of fashion Rubik's Cube that delights my sartorial soul. With this wardrobe puzzle in mind, I turned to the F/W 12 runways for some ideas and inspiration. From the funky graphic sweatshirts worn over turtlenecks at Balenciaga to the preppy stripes under bright shells at J. Crew, the abundance of varied looks convinced me of one thing: there's a layered look for every style type out there. While I won't catalog all of them for you today, I am happy…
