So, I clearly just bought my first pair of Isabel Marant sneakers and I've been wearing them out. The designer herself doesn't even wear them anymore because they've been copied by nearly every other designer that exists. They're such a good casual option.

I've worn them here. See, casual spiciness.

One more thing, I've entered a couple of looks into the Vanity Fair International Best Dressed Challenge here. If you like what you see, please click the little heart in the bottom left hand corner of the image. 

Thank you!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Oh hey, November! Seriously? I can't even handle it.

So, to say that I may have overpacked for Howard University's homecoming last weekend is an understatement. I had more luggage for three days in DC than I did for 10 days in Europe! But I'm serious.

I wore this look on Saturday to the official HU Homecoming tailgate. I know what you're thinking. There were no less than 3,000 people at this tailgate. Just take my word for it. It was a complete spectacle. 

There's a lot of standing and walking at the tailgate, so flat shoes were a must and I brought my favorite (read: only) pair of comfy Hunter boots!

This look has an air of Mr. T. swag to it and I like it!

How 80s of me, I know. I couldn't resist. And it was completely by accident. I started with the Armani Exchange denim pageboy hat and the Melody Ehsani Queen of the Jungle Necklace just felt so right. We won't even talk about the skirt. Like, let's not even acknowledge it.

Wait, but the skirt was $20. Ok, I won't mention the skirt again. Hold on, but people left it in the store for WEEKS! Like, no one even wanted it. I'm done talking about it. For real this time, I won't mention the skirt again. 

One last thing, there were a few sequins missing from the front of the skirt BUT a few missing sequins should NEVER stop you from having something fabulous. 

Message: Get a good tailor in your life. Now.

Anyway, check out the video. It's poetry in motion.

Picture me on a yacht off of the South of France sipping wine, laughing heartily and schmoozing with some of my favorite people.

Ok, picture me on a yacht.

Ok, just look at this picture of me looking like I should be on somebody's yacht. Jeez.
