• “What’s In Your Bag?” (and why do we care?)

  When you’re with someone and they open their purse, do you try to sneak a peek inside it?  No?  Am I the only one? “Awkward.” Believe it or not, this is a book about Bags…Not just pictures of bags, but of the contents and the owner. “Me In My Bag” attempts to answer the question,…

• Naomi Sims

  This picture made my jaw drop.  Not surprisingly because Naomi Sims had that kind of captivating, arresting beauty, but check out her accessories!!!  Swoon!!! In case you don’t know Naomi Sims (I won’t judge you too harshly), she was one of the first black supermodels to grace a magazine cover in 1968.  Here is her…

• New York State of Mind

  If only my Christmas shopping was as easy as picking out this look. Source: cultureshockart.polyvore.com via CultureShockArt on Pinterest   I wish I was in New York getting my last minute shopping done, instead I’ll be duking it out over parking spots at the mall.
