Hi Fab Friends!

It was so great to have super talent Common visit ESSENCE yesterday, having been a fan for years. He came bearing gifts: tasty lunch and several songs from his upcoming album “The Dreamer, The Believer”. I especially loved “Blue Sky”, “Raw” and “Dreamer”. Amazing music! Excited for it to come out in December! He also spoke about his other upcoming project: a western series titled “Hell on Wheels”, where he plays a freed slave named Elam.

It was great meeting his fabulous assistant Cristen Mills. Such a cool chick with fun style! We had a great time chatting all things fashion.

So much fun!

xoxo
