This season, “the look du jour” is pairing Bermuda shorts with heels or wedges that strap around the ankle or a high gladiator sandal. Caveat: This look works […]

March 9th marks the anniversary of the death of Notorious B.I.G., arguably the greatest rapper of all time. Biggie, had as much influence on Hip Hop fashion as he had on the music. Not since Heavy D, had an over-sized rapper dared to be dapper. Although, people respected fun loving Heavy, they didn’t want to […]
I spotted a stylish Swedish tourist, at the mall, and had to capture her Doc Martens. The shoes have character and fit perfectly with her personal style. She obviously had these Docs since the 90’s (when the Grunge era first brought about the fashion trend) and preserved them well by moisturizing frequently. If you didn’t […]
I had the privilege of seeing the preview of “The Convert,” by Zimbabwean American actress and playwright, Danai Gurira. I loved it so much, I decided to interview two cast members–Nancy Moricette and Dawn Ursula. These women are brilliant and incredible both on and off stage! “The Convert” is showing at the Woolly Mammoth from […]

In honor of the men of Hollywood, who usually get far less fashion buzz than their counterparts, here is a look […]
Boyfriend jeans are a big trend this season. One of my style clients recently asked the difference between boyfriend jeans, cropped jeans, and ankle jeans. Cropped jeans usually stop mid calf or a noticeable distance above the ankle. Ankle jeans stop at or just above the ankle. Boyfriend jeans may be ankle jeans, cropped jeans […]
Got juice? Calm down Bishop! I’m not referring to street cred. I’m talking about real fruit and vegetable juice. Juicing has been around for decades but has become more popular in recent years as the health and wellness industry continues to boom and celebrities endorse the practice. There is still much speculation around the true […]
This year, I committed to pampering myself in some small way everyday. Whether it’s propping my feet and reading a poem, treating myself to a facial, or taking a leisurely bubble bath, I thoroughly enjoy keeping this commitment.
