Tuesday night was one of those signs that let me know God was speaking to me. One of the benefits of having a best friend in the same industry as me is that she will pass along my email to events that she knows I would...
On Saturday, my mom created a New York milestone for me: an afternoon Eloise-themed belated birthday tea at The Plaza. I had no idea how majestic The Plaza was when I would read Eloise books as a child. I just knew that it was a magical...
I bought myself a few very New York-centric things for my birthday: BaubleBar's state pendent necklace (with a heart cut out over my beloved NYC) and Noir's Gotham City stackable ring. The idea was that it was it would reinforce the "brand" that I am trying...
It's hard to imagine, but if I were to travel during the late 19th century, right up until the civil rights era, I would more than likely had to consult Victor Green's The Negro Traveler's Green Book for appropriate and safe accommodations...

At 11:45pm, I hopped out of a cab by the fountains in Tuileries Garden in Markus Lupus glitter booties, feathers and elbow length gloves and ran with a bottle of champagne toward the Eiffel Tower. When we finally reached the bridge where we would watch the 1,063...
No new friends? Your boy Drake is crazy. That's not cute. I get it, you can't trust everyone. Everyone is not always looking out for you. But no new friends? Nawl. Since moving to New York, I have added a few important additions to my existing day ones. People...
