Model of the Moment: Joan Small

Emilio Pucci Fall 2012 Show
Joan Smalls may not have won the people's vote as Milan Fashion Week's model of the week on Style.com, but in my eyes she deserves a place in the top spot of the best. As we know the modeling industry hasn't been an easy sector for African Americans to get into, but she proves that there is opportunity for us at the end of the rainbow.

The Weekender: Ms.FIT


It's finally Friday! Time to let loose and this weekend is even more exciting, because the wait is finally over for the Ms. FIT pageant! This is the reason we go to FIT! Well one of the reasons...and you need to be there! Until then we'll give you something to do for pre and post the big event!

Street Style: Paris Fashion Week!

Fashion Week, the best time of the year for any fashionista! Also a great excuse to play dress up for a week and get inspired by others and designers!


Going green! These girls worked it in bright green colors on the street! The detail on the dress makes it so unique and eye catching. My obsession with bright bold colors brings me to those electric green pants! I love how she paired it with a light green fur vest. Great way to keep those bright colors together! Bring on the colors this season!

Best Buy: BOLD Colors!

Spring is slowly coming upon us and before we know it, we'll hang our winter coats for good!  Can't wait? Neither can I! Which is why we must get prepared for the warm weather!
