It’s only Wednesday but already so much has happened, so I decided to do a mid-week Insta-Recap! From birthday parties to Oscar’s best dressed, the fun hasn’t let up! Thank God! Let’s get started.
Yesterday, I attended my friend and Olympic Gold medalist, Sanya Richards-Ross‘ birthday and anniversary party (She’s married to football star Aaron Ross) at the newly vamped up 40/40 club here in NYC. She’s also working on a reality show, so the cameras were on hand to film. Sanya rocked a sick Herve Leger bodysuit, flawless!
I started a fashion writing course at Media Bistro’s headquarters downtown. Yesterday was the first day and I am loving it! Here I am in the bathroom snapping a pic before meeting my bf for Sanya’s party!
Le Look: Prabal Gurung for Target blouse, Bebe vest, Joe Fresh pants, Vintage coat. Accessories: NOIR Keith Haring necklace, BruceGlen leather fringe slap bracelet, Versace for H&M bracelet, a prototype turban from my line I’m working on!, Joe Fresh bag.
The day before, I attended NV Magazine’s event celebrating the Movers & Shakers in their respective specialites. My friend, Ty Hunter was honored and I came to show my support! He is such an inspiration. So hardworking, humble, and positive. Love him!
Le Look: Biddies & Blokes Vintage beaded blazer, Peace Images Black Girl necklace, prototype turban from my new line of scarves!
I also ran into the fab Ursula Stephen! I’ve been a fan of her work for quite sometime. She’s brilliant! I hope to do an exclusive interview with her for JoyLovesFashion soon! Will keep you updated! P.s. How cute is this pic?!
I don’t usually watch the Oscars but with the young Quvenzhané Wallis in the running for Best Actress, I felt compelled to. She is the youngest person to be nominated in that category. History in the making! And the dresses. How could I forget? So lovely, so gorg. Here are some that made my list!
I wish every magazine cover could be this EPIC. Kate Moss, there are no words! W Mag literally stopped me in my tracks while boarding the subway. Can’t wait to read!
Here are all the Mercura shades that I borrowed for NYFW! Outstanding. So blessed to have had such a long and amazing relationship with the designers, Rachel and Merrilee. They are simply gifted.
Tracy Reese’s Fall 2013 show was one of my favs from NYFW. Honored to cover it for The Huffington Post! Huge fan of Tracy and I want to wear so many pieces from the collection!
My brother John (Instagram: @donlzz) posted this throwback pic of our mom and older brother from 1981! I’ve always loved this pic. My mom is the most gorgeous woman in the world! I am so happy that she saved so much of her clothes and accessories from this time! I have the dress she’s wearing and also the sick gold chain my brother is holding! Thanks mom : ).
