The author calls the new album “mediocre” but offers nothing concrete to support the opinion. Read the article here, and decide for yourself.

“Nerd” is the new cool.  Who would’ve ever thought it?!  Personality or “nerd” glasses are all the rage and brand name frames can cost hundreds of dollars.  But if you don’t need a prescription and are just enjoying the trend, you may not want to invest in such expensive specs.  I paid $10 for my […]

This is a repost from @nordstrompentagoncity.  I am wearing a Rachel Roy peplum top and white pencil slacks with a designer Marc Jacobs “Wellington” handbag.  I envision this outfit for the female entrepreneur or executive with edge.  The woman that would wear this would possibly work in marketing/advertising, own a hair salon, or run her own […]

Jazz is more than a musical genre.  It’s a way of life.  Duke Ellington was not only a jazz pioneer but he also had a huge impact on street style.  “The Duke” was known for dressing impeccably.  His clean cut image encouraged men, especially African American men, to follow suit (pun intended).  Enjoy these photos […]

There were bursts of sunshine during the tornado watch in the DC area.   I pulled out these fun Tory Burch sunnies. The clear frames with a pop of neon orange make a statement without going overboard.  I picked up these shades for a really good price at Nordstrom Rack.

On Saturday, I had the honor of hosting the 22nd Annual Capitol Heights Day.  It was a day of community fellowship filled with live performances, health screenings, food, and children’s activities.  Mayor Kito James and his staff did an excellent job making the day a great one for Capitol Heights.  All of the performing acts […]
