One thing I don't incorporate more in my ensembles are statement pieces, particularly jewelry. I tend to go for the gold hoop look for earrings, and I very rarely wear necklaces. Likely because of my weird childhood habit, perhaps? Clearly I love hoops. Anyway, my new fashion project, in my constant effort to creatively step …
Kate Spade and Woman Stuff. (And My Mother.)
This is the Holly Street Rubie Bag, by Kate Spade. I want it so bad I can taste the blue on my tongue. For real. If you click …

Au Naturale.
Those endless selfies are for a reason, Mom. From December 2012 to a few weeks ago, my natural hair journey so far...
The Unmarried African Woman. (shudder)
Some of you know this woman. She's your sister, your friend, your fellow cubicle dweller who insists on playing 70s soft rock on her Pandora station, your daughter, your cousin. Some of you don't believe that the fact that she's an Unmarried African Woman (UAM)Â needs to be capitalized, or even an issue. And if that's …
Meanwhile, on L’Avenue des Champs-Élysées…
See that grinning girl standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe? C'est moi. One of the best trips of all time. Off all time.

Fabu Fashion…Monday.
You'll recall that the Fabu Fashion feature started on a Thursday...then next occurred on a Friday. Ah, well. I run this, right? So, sharing what I wore a few weeks ago to a dance party in Connecticut. Don't want to brag, but This Square Peg was all gussied up and she liked it. What whaaat? …
This Square Peg…Loves to Travel.
So, yours truly is a travel bug. I love everything about traveling, from airport eating (i.e., all diets are quickly hurled to the ground and abandoned once your feet touch the terminal floor), to the tons of people-watching I participate in, both at the terminal and wherever I travel. Having just returned from a relaxing …
real talk (gratitude).
Something a bit different this Gratitude Friday. I'll start by telling you that I wasn't the kind of girl that the boys ran after. Those kind of girls were a different set; far removed from my small group of funny, wisecracking nerds who liked to correct your grammar and spout critiques about books and independent films. We were silly, goofy, …
Herculean.
Oh, hi there. It's been a while, huh? In short, I loathe winter and with all the polar vortexes and all that, my writing has been suspended by a lack of desire, inspiration, and general movement in my hands. But here we are. Hi, again. This will be brief. I'm here to post a song that I find …
