My Official Jeans for 2012: J Brand Jeans

I am an African-American woman who has a butt and hips but, more importantly, thighs! The shapely/curvaceous curse of the midsection is not lost on me or many ladies around me. I have however, uncovered a jean that promises to envelope my curves (not smooch them), and provide ample coverage (without showing my arse or giving me the ‘granny panty’ feeling) – J Brand Jeans. J Brand Jeans haven’t been around very long (even though they’ve hit the radar of major

Two-Pronged Tech Plan

I am riding high after attending LeWeb in Paris (Europe’s largest social media & internet conference). Why? LeWeb gave me insight into the convergence of fashion and technology; and Rachel Sterne (bless her heart) helped to really knock it out the park! First, let’s talk about Rachel Sterne ~ she’s the 28-year-old Chief Digital Officer in Mayor Bloomberg‘s administration.

Raise Your Hand If You’ve Heard of #LeWeb

Quietly, I am certain a full 80% of you (maybe more) are raising your hand for real or in your mind. No worries ~ until a month or so ago, I was clueless about LeWeb too.

Do you know everything you have in your closet? Are there items you want to get rid but aren’t quite sure? Want your personal stylist to create your outfit for your upcoming event? If you answer YES to any of these questions, then plan to download the Netrobe app! I had a chance to chat with the founder, Christina Plakopita, while at LeWeb and put our heads together about a few fashion + technology to-do’s (you’ll hear more about that later).

Karl Lagerfeld Shares A Bit of Himself At #LeWeb

The first speaker at LeWeb was Karl Lagerfeld. I was determined to make it from the airport (CDG) since I landed around 7am local time….and I did! As a wardrobe stylist and image consultant, it was clearly going to be one of the highlights for the entire social media event; and I was anxious to see how Karl shared the connection between fashion and technology. While he doesn’t proclaim to be able to provide insight, here are some stylish gems
