Monthly archive December, 2008
Sorry for the Dem Franchize Boyz reference… it was just so fitting! Before I get to today’s designer I have to say that yesterday was one of those days that’s going to take a long time to digest. I am sitting in my office (on my week off, of course, see how dedicated I am?)...
Can you believe it’s the last Monday in 2008? I have been reflecting on 08′ these past few days… I can’t believe how much went down! I have this little ritual I do each year before the new year. I know it’s silly because January 1st is really no different than any other day– but...
I always go into vacations with the idea that I’m going to accomplish all sorts of things… as of yet the only thing I have accomplished is contributing to the struggling economy (from my own struggling bank account)… not good… Anyway, fashion: AAU student Elena Akoulova captured my heart with her gorgeous Spring 09′ collection...

* I’ve never been good and planning… therefore I find myself gift-less two days before Christmas. If you’re anything like me you’re kind of in panic mode… Here are some great last minute gifts that are sure to please.

Sometimes things that are obviously good are problematic once you peel away the layers. Conversely, sometimes things that are apparently troublesome are “transformational catalysts” in the making (I know you like that Melka). One of my resolutions this year is to keep an open mind… about everything… I tend to be an “all or...
My newest obsession. I looove his flow… plus he’s a cutie. Check out the free download of his single Motown 25 (while the link is still good)… The whole album is hot (yes, hot. ri-dic-u-lous-ly hot). Be sure to stop by his spot on MySpace.
I used to have a crush on this kid named Jeff in high school. He was cute in the Hugh-Grant sort of way, but more than that he was a fantastic writer. He was semi-aware of my existence and I remember one day he shared a story with me about winter. I don’t remember everything...
In lieu of writing things out, I’ll let K’naan speak for himself (click above). K’naan’s newest album, TROUBADOUR is due in stores soon and you can download the single “Somalia” free from his MySpace page.
As a former 400 meter dash runner, I am well aware that the homestretch is often the most difficult part the endeavor. With two days left before my vacation I’m a bit overwhelmed with the amount of things I need to accomplish. That being said, I’ll keep the randomness short and introduce you to fabulous...
I actually woke up to the sound of someone shoveling something this morning… luckily by the time I dragged myself out of bed all I saw was rain. I am NOT looking forward to a snowy cold winter! For those of you (like me) who have no choice but to endure, thank goodness for great...
Ever since I’ve been stuck wearing a suit 5 out of 7 days a week I’ve developed a sort of shoe fetish. Marc, Michael, and Christian… you know the drill. You can imagine my thrill when I discovered Charmoné a line of beautiful sexy shoes that are both sustainable and cruelty-free (bank account beware!!) Every...
