Last week, I spied the cutest and brightest hot pink bag on the floor of my co-worker’s office. Instantly smitten with the item, I made a note to later ask her about it. In true KB fashion though, I ended up forgetting about the bag until I stumbled across this tweet: Could it be? Did they have the scoop on my bag obsession? I clicked the link and VOILA…It was THE bag! It turns out [...]
My baby, The Red Pump Project, is a finalist for Best Cause Campaign in the Inaugural Black Celebrity Giving Awards. While we’re technically a nonprofit, our call to encourage women to rock red pumps to represent the strength and courage of women affected by HIV/AIDS ramps up every year around National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (March 10th). I don’t know who nominated us but I love what they submitted: I would like to [...]
Bright Pink is a kick-ass organization and I am a huge fan of almost anything that they do. This week marks their fifth anniversary and I am loving the beautiful post written by the Founder, Lindsay Avner. Lindsay is equal parts fearless leader and a true sweetheart with a dose of fabulousity sprinkled in for good measure. While reading her post, I was particularly inspired by her decision to not only undergo a double mastectomy [...]
I’ve always had a sweet spot for Rachel Roy. In fact, she’s my NYC socialite alter-ego. But, Ms. Roy is more than just a staple on the NYC social scene. She’s a mother, designer, businesswoman, and (my favorite) a philanthropist. She’s been involved with many causes, including OrphanAid and charity: water. And, she recently teamed up with Macy’s Heart of Haiti program. In September, she traveled to Haiti with Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren and Martha [...]

Happy Monday after Thanksgiving! I hope that you all enjoyed your long weekend and didn’t eat yourselves into a coma. Personally, I took it easy and got LOTS of rest. I’m not really sure if I needed it all, but I’m pretty sure that I clocked over 40 hours of Zzzz during the four-day weekend. The interesting thing is that I don’t quite feel rested. Isn’t that weird? Anyways, given that this is the perfect [...]

When I heard about Kim K’s split this week, I just shook my head. Nothing about the wedding/marriage seemed genuine other than the décor and the money that companies shelled out to be a part of the ceremony. I guessed that K+K would split after 60 days, so I guess they proved me wrong! Kim and Kris (mom not ex-hubby) are starting to work the press junkets, in an effort to convince us that she [...]
