How are you doing this fashion month? I’ve been quite busy but I have caught some shows and just love this Anna Sui Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The colors and mixed prints are just fabulous, she and her team did a great job. What’s your favorite look?

Hey how are you? How is your New Year going so far? I recently noticed several Alexander Wang pieces that show your underwear or g-string. They’re cute but very bold. Some of them are on sale now. What do you think of them? Would you go for one of these pieces?

Happy Holidays! So what to wear to the Holiday party? I found a few gorgeous dresses that will take you from Christmas to New Year’s Eve. What are your plans? Are you cooking or going out? Either way these three dresses will cause heads to turn in the room. Check out a few more below!

Good morning! How was your Turkey Day? We cooked smothered turkey wings, mac-n-cheese, collard greens, string beans, stuffing and candied yams and I am still full! I also got a gift of chitlins over rice, excited to have them (yea, I eat them lol). Anyway, it’s Black Friday and the deals are plentiful. Check out some of the online deals from my advertisers below.
Happy shopping!

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!

Hey there! What have you been wearing this fall? It’s not quite cold enough for a heavy coat but also not quite bikini weather if you’re up north. I came across this really cute Simone Rocha dress that marries delicate femininity and utility warmth. See-through was trending on the Spring/Summer runway and the trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. The delicate sequin embellishments, see-through fabric and faux fur panels make this dress turn heads. Do you have any see-through pieces?

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.

How are you doing? So, recently I copped this Mariah Butterfly Bralette from Sammy B. designs as I’ve been her fan for years. It was actually sold out and I had to wait for it to come back into stock. But when it did, I was one of the first ones buying! Samantha Black is a Jamaican designer that lives and produces out of New York City. I went to one of her fashion shows and heard of her through Harlem Fashion Row.
I never realized that racism was so rampant and horrible in the fashion industry until I got in it. I remember a teacher telling me while I was in school at the Fashion Institute of Technology that she would never support me because I am not white. And, most recently, I’ve been approached about lightening my skin and never reporting any wrongdoing by whites to the police. It’s really sad that we are still here as a society, but I love supporting my fellow black designers like Samantha Black.
If you want to support more black designers, check out Nordstrom where they partnered with Harlem Fashion Row recently.

How are you doing? Have you been watching the Spring/Summer 2025 fashion shows? I have been following digitally as I am working down here in South Florida. I cannot help to notice how many of the shows include socks and stockings worn up to and even above the knee. Simone Rocha even featured some bedazzled socks. Is it me or is this a trend that I am spotting? Would you wear socks or stockings like this?
