Flashback Friday: Foul Play Halloween

Happy Halloween y’all! What are you doing tonight? Well, today, I’m flashing back to three  years ago when I was a referee calling out bad plays! It was a fun costume. Did y’all buy candy? I always end up eating half of the candy before the kids come by. Me and my sweet tooth. I grabbed some of my favorite candy sour Skittles, white chocolate and regular pumpkin-shaped Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

Drop Dead Gorgeous Looks on the Area Spring/Summer 2026 Runway

Good morning! So, happy Fashion Month. I’ve been trying to catch up and still quite busy handling the hack. Anyway, I’ve become quite a fan of Area through recent years and they did not disappoint for this past Spring/Summer 2026 New York Fashion Week show.

They have street style, elegance with a touch of opulence. I have a Good American denim dress that looks very much like the Area dress below but the dress is jazzed up with a train, fraying of fabric and a one-shoulder design. And, the above feathered white top is just stunning.

Have you been watching the shows?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Greetings to you from sunny South Florida! Wanted to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yesterday I went to church in my Ralph Lauren gold metallic skirt, JW Anderson flats and my Karl Lagerfeld handbag. We didn’t get any lights up on the house but we did get a Christmas tree, and it’s perfect. What are you doing for the Holidays?

The Links Inc White Rose “Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler,” Ultimate Mardi Gras Event

How have you guys been? I haven’t been so well at all, it’s like I’ve been under siege. But, yesterday, I was able to support the West Palm Beach Chapter of The Links Inc.’s White Rose fundraiser event. They raise money annually for some of their initiatives, particularly scholarships for young black children. Education and exposure is so important.

I wore a vintage red sequined Dress the Population dress along with a black face mask and boa. Everyone looked great and we all enjoyed a three-course meal along with dancing.

Check out more photos below!

“Freedom, Freedom, Where Are You?”

Greetings, y’all! Today is the day, Election Day. The day we’ve been waiting for. The day to change history. Have you been to the polls yet? Do you know who you’re voting for? This is a day when your voice can be heard for taxes, businesses, reproductive freedom and so much more. Who says a woman can’t be President? By the way, make sure you are prepared to vote and are familiar with your ballot before you go to the polls (you can check out it out here). I’m getting ready to go to the polls myself, let’s all go vote!

Faces and Beauty at Balmain Spring/Summer 2025 Show

So, Olivier Rousteing of Balmain thinks that “…the face is the sexiest part of a woman’s body…” and it shows in the latest runway show for Spring/Summer 2025. From the bold lines and silhouettes to the beading and accessories, Balmain’s spring/summer 25 show is one of my favorites of the season. Some of the accessories have lipstick and perfume bottles incorporated into the design. What a genius collection, see more below.
