Look, ma! The 70s are back. A few of my looks during NYFW had a little 70s flavor. In walks these beauties from H&M, they were a great look for the shows and will transition well into the office.

For all of you laytees who are looking for ways to add a little drama during your work week, find your way to some wide legged pants and walk your own cubicle lined carpeted runway!

Memo 181: The Mountain Top

Subject: Sitting on Table Mountain

__________________________________________________________________________________

I continue to learn new things about myself everyday. I didn't realize that I was afraid of heights until I was on the aerial cableway on the way to the top of Table Mountain. It is one of the new seven wonders of the world located in Cape Town, South Africa, and noted for it's flat-topped appearance. For the record, Table Mountain is high as shit. Period.

But you can probably see the entire city of Cape Town and half of the Southern Ocean from up there. Legit, the most amazing views that I've ever seen in my life. The pictures don't do it justice. Like, at all.

Again, these travel days were jammed packed with fun and exploratory things to do and comfort was at the forefront of my mind. On this day, I opted out of the Jeffrey Campbell Gladiator Sandals and opted in for a pair by Sam Edelman. 

I say "Gladia-tor", you say "Gladia-tah", Gladia-tor, Gladia-tah....let's call the whole thing off.

Hey fall, is that you?

You know what you all can have? Summer and winter. You can take it! Give me fall and spring ALL YEAR LONG! 

So, one of my favorite outerwear pieces is the trench cape by H&M. I love it. I do believe that I have seen a black version in stores this season. Go ahead and add it to your must have list for fall.

Memo 067: Home is Where the Heart (and My Furniture) Is...

Two Things: Number one, I moved. Number two, moving sucks!

Now, that that is out of the way. There are a couple of life lessons that I have learned from this moving "experience":

1. Sometimes you have to leave something that you love in order to fully appreciate it. If you're lucky, you get the opportunity to get it back.
2. There are only a few times in life where you get a do-over, use it wisely.
3. Once you let someone into something that you value (heart, home, etc.), you're extremely fortunate if they leave it better than the way they found it.

Memo 044: Black and Red and Read All Over

Subject: The Perfect Pairing of Black and Red 

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I usually and by usually I kind of mean never wear red and black together. Something about it just feels too harsh. I did see this dress from Zara that was black and red and it wasn't so bad.

However, the red and black (plus all of the other colors) in this dress just werked for me! I saw it and knew that it would be perfect for any occasion; werk, church, brunch, date night, a play, a concert, or wherever . 

B.T. Dubbs...Eye LOVE brunch! I can eat brunch and be at brunch ALL. DAY. LONG. And honey, PLEASE don't let there be unlimited bloody marys and mimosas. I'll never leave. You may as well start calling me Tiffany "I-shut-brunches-down" Battle.
