Last year when more influencers promoted black-owned businesses, I discovered and quickly fell in love with OMA. The brand offers a range of modern jewelry that manages to feel both fresh and timeless. I first snapped up the Tonia Hoop and the Patricia Bracelet. In addition to being high in quality, they are also beautifully…
I love a beauty moment. Pampering is always my jam, but like many of you, it’s not something I have a ton of time for. While I could wear a sheet mask in the evenings, I prefer to be upright watching trash like Love Island, and I tend to completely forget about any other kind…
I love nothing more than freshly painted nails, but even before the Coronavirus hit, I rarely got a manicure. For years, I picked up nail polish at the drugstore or even Ulta, but I’ve recenlty developed a new obsession that works so well. For the best at home manicure, I can’t recommend the brand Nails…
I did hard things. I went to Sephora (twice) and looked at all of their treasures to put together this gift guide for you. And, also for myself. Who am I kidding? I was in total heaven. If you’re like me, it can be hard to come up with ideas of things you’d like to…
While this post is a beauty product review, it is also an endorsement for one of my favorite bloggers – Grace Atwood. Her blog, The Stripe, covers a variety of topics – skincare, travel, books and fashion.

I’ve always loved a statement earring. As a third grader, I spent every dollar I had at Claire’s on everything from bangle bracelets to fish-shaped barrettes. That love for bold jewelry translated to earrings so large my ears hurt at the end of a night out in college. Then, we all made the switch to…
I snapped up this MILK Make-Up Lip and Cheek Stick after seeing it on Liz Adam’s stories. I love a cream blush and thought the formulation of this one was really pretty. I have it in the Werk color, which seemed apropos considering I’m werking all the time. To use, swipe a little of the…
In my college years, I owned a pair of snakeskin print, strappy sandals from Wal-Mart that I wore with everything. In fact, you may have seen me huddled outside a club, waiting for one-in-one-out to go my way with my bare toes near snow. I’m much more sensible now, but I still love snakeskin. It’s…
While some fashion trends are fun and fleeting, others stand the test of time. This fall, I’ll be reaching for the usual suspects – plaid, great sweaters and 1,000 boots. But, there’s a new “trend” I’ll like long after the season is over. Structured and small, ladylike croc embossed handbags are everywhere. Available at a…
