“Becoming an entrepreneur to us was all about setting a legacy, inspiring others, leaving a footprint in the fashion industry, and positively impacting the world.” – Adrian Wintson and Darin Wyly Continue reading “Live Above Apparel Company Inspires Far Beyond Fashion”
As we celebrated Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life yesterday, in part, we acknowledged his fortitude; his fight for justice, civil rights, and economic equality; his leadership through boycotts, marches, and protests; and the lasting impression his legacy has had our culture.
Let me start this post by saying thank you to everyone who has rocked with me over the last year!! From the people who’ve been on this journey with me from day one when I had three followers (my mom; sister, Makeda; and friend, Tiffany), to those who just started following me yesterday, to everyone who allowed me to feature them, to the people who encouraged me to keep going, and the team of people who helped me behind the scenes. I cannot say it enough: thank you all for your support!

This fall I have an obsession with patched denim. Okay… so it actually started before this fall, but after scouring the market for a patched denim jacket, I ended up empty handed. Either the shape of the jacket was off, or I just didn’t like the patches. I even thought about DIYing it, but quickly abandoned that idea in the interest of time and the thought of ruining a perfectly good denim jacket.
Fall is right around the corner, but that doesn’t mean your summer wardrobe has to immediately change with the season. I know, I know…. most of you have probably been waiting for boot season and comfy sweaters, but before your wardrobe completely falls into a dark abyss, you may want to consider layering summer with fall fashion.
You never know where your path will lead you…. Well, last week, it lead me to a photo shoot at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts with Mariah, creator of Out of my Mouth, and Thallen, creator of Etichat.
Now, this photo shoot was a little different for me. Not only are we all bloggers, but we’re also all black, women, and attorneys. We’re all driven; we enjoy helping other people; and we all set out to make an impact on the world.

Being a mom is one of the most difficult jobs out there, and it’s a job that NEVER stops. No matter how old you are, you know you can always depend on mom. Whether it’s a biological mom, stepmom, grand-mom, or mother figure, this applies to the mother in your life. In honor of mother’s day, and because it’s often times a thankless job, my sis and I are giving five reasons to celebrate moms.
Thanks to Urbaanite and the Frist Center for Visual Arts, I was one of several women who attended the Bloggers’ Night Out preview of the Irving Penn: Beyond Beauty exhibit at the Frist. Let’s just start by saying it was the perfect event to bring all of us together.

National sibling day recently passed and although I totally missed it (what kind of calendar do you have to have for that holiday to show up?!), it was a wonderful reminder to feature a person who is very dear to me and integral to the blog.

We’re rounding out the month of March, but continuing the celebration of Women’s History Month, today’s Feature Friday is Nurse Karin. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in the area of women’s health, and she also happens to be a stylista, mommy, and blogger. I thought a chat with her would be the perfect ending to Women’s History Month, and I hope you think so too.
