The BET Awards aired Sunday June 23, 2019. Annually this award show honors black entertainers in the following categories; TV, movies, music and sports. Instead of the traditional red carpet that is at most award shows, BET decided to do a blue one. As with any other award show there were performances by many popular celebrities. Below are the “blue…
When I saw the variety of hats come down the designer’s runways for spring/summer 2019, I began thinking. I rummaged through my closet and found 1, 2, 3 bucket hats! These hats date back to the late 1980’s to the 90’s. As you know fashion is cyclical. Most designs repeat themselves at least twice in a lifetime. This summer it’s…
This year the Met Gala was a little confusing for me. First some of the celebrities who usually show up were noticeably absent. Secondly, I didn’t really understand the theme and the celebrities who walked the carpet looked ridiculous at best.

In terms of clothes the designers showed their collections months ago. Now that those fashions have been in the stores since January or February, I think most of us are…
I love a “little black dress” for formal or semi-formal events! The LBD is traced as far back as to the designer, Chanel. They are very versatile that’s why I like them. Most women have at least 1 LBD in their closet that is long lasting, some affordable, some not. Now a days many women have more than 1! I…
Faux fur is popular again. What I have learned is that there are responsible ways that are government-mandated to breed animals for food and the fur industry. While PETA sanctions faux fur, many of the manufactured furs are created from non-biodegradable chemical based synthetics. Is there any manufacturing that is done considering our planet?? We as a country have to…
