Ask me the last time I went to the gym. Go on, ask me. It's ok. Ask me. Go on. I can't even remember. That's right. All the good work I accomplished in the summer with walking and working out has gone to the dogs. I can't even remember the last time I entered my …
Macarons and Gatsby.
Because why not?
Dear Solange…
I don't talk about you a lot on here, which is a bit confusing, being that musically and style-wise and hair-wise, I adore everything about you. Nevertheless, we will lovingly blame Lupita, who fills up a lot of my time and leaves no room for anyone else. But trust that I stalk follow you on …
Conversations with my Girdle.

Fabu Fashion Monday.
But it's Tuesday, This Square Peg. Do you own a calendar over there where you are? I do, I do. Wanted to share what I wore last night to a spoken word event at Busboys & Poets, which featured one of my very talented friends. Can I just say that she was awesome? To share one's …
Bantu Knots, The Hundred-Foot Journey, and the Weekend
Happy November, ya'll. This weekend, I decided to put in some Bantu knots for her in an effort to change up the usual two-strand twist and/or fro look that she likes to sport.
