My Style + My City: Columbus, OH

Whenever I share with someone that Columbus, OH is the #3 fashion city in the US, they look at me in shock. “It is?? I had no idea!”  It’s the common phrase that follows the usual astonished look, to which I just smile and nod my head, confirming that this fact is indeed the truth.

The New Way to Wear a Bandana

Remember when I mentioned that it takes a little out-of-the-box creativity to wear a bandana? Well, I actually figured out another way to rock this versatile accessory! As an anklet!

Cookie Lyon Inspired

Who else loves the hit TV series ‘Empire?’ If you do, you’ll understand what I say next. Cookie Lyon’s style is fire!!! Seriously, it’s amazing! Unlike Olivia Pope from Scandal, Cookie Lyon’s style is daring, empowering, colorful and just downright bad-ass.

Wearing a Floppy Hat on Warm Fall Days

In the midst of Fall, there are a few days when the temperature is in the perfect middle. It’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. In fact, days like this, I wish were constant in the summer. Nevertheless, I’m thankful that they choose to make an appearance – mostly so I can enjoy wearing […]
