  • Brand Spotlight: Alicia Robinson, AGR

    “Whenever I tell someone I’m a knitwear designer, they do this knitting needle hand gesture, which I always find really funny,” she says. ​“They immediately think of you as being really grannyish and boring – I don’t just sit at home 24/​7 knitting and reading books. There’s so much you can do with it.” Alicia Robinson as quoted by…

  • Kilian masterclass: My chance to hear from the man himself

    I had the opportunity to attend a webinar with Kilian Hennessy, founder of By Kilian. This was an event through Sephora, something you could attend by redeeming points through their Rewards Bazaar. In addition to the webinar, everyone also received a travel-sized Love Don’t Be Shy. Here are my thoughts on the event. Here is…

  • Burning the Diptyque Pomander candle

    After watching that TED talk yesterday, I decided to burn my own candle. In the video, Change your Closet, Change your life, the speaker relayed a story about discovering a candle she had been waiting to burn on a special occasion had melted on its own. (I assume it was a pillar candle and at…

  • Make today your special occasion

    I just finished watching a TEDx talk, Change your closet, Change your life.” (I posted it below for your viewing pleasure.) It made me think about all the clothes I have that I have never worn. The pair of pants I bought for when I finally lost weight. The blouses I would wear once I…

  • My review of the Barbara Strum Darker Tones Discovery set

    I have been using Barbara Sturm’s Darker Skin Tones Discovery set for over a month. Well, the full regimen for a month. For an additional month (probably more) I have been using the cleansers alone or the moisturizers alone. I think at this point I can give a review. Please read the whole thing. It…

  • Today was a Black Orchid day

    I woke up today, wanting to feel powerful. Things in my life have not gone as a I had planned or imagined, so it is up to me to make a choice. Who do I want to be? I want to exude ease and strength. Confidence and power. I put on my Frankie Shop Tee,…

  • Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 22: The Bangkok Spin-off

    So, I watched the Bangkok Louis Vuitton men’s Fall/Winter 2022 show last week. As I watched I took notes on all that I saw. The use of flowers, oversized tailoring, artwork, and a continuation of Abloh’s Boyhood Ideology. I thought to myself that they were making a clear link to the previous show, especially when…

  • I tried the Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum for Darker Skin Tones. Here are my thoughts.

    Hyaluronic acid and I have never really gotten along. The Fresh Hyaluronic lip treatment and Tarte Mermaid Skin are two products that did not work for me. My lips just got flakier and flakier. My face just stayed dry. Oh, and don’t even get me started on Clinique moisture surge. I was bothered since the…

  • Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 Collection show. Here’s what I noticed.

    The Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection debuted yesterday. I just watched it and have some quick takes. First, the show took place at the visually stunning Salk Institute in San Diego California. The beautiful architecture and stunning waterways provided a fitting backdrop to the luxurious designs for the show. If I were to summarize the looks…
