Hey Heyyyyy!
So I’m in Las Vegas for the Soul Train Awards. But before I hopped on that long flight, I spoke at a conference called Simply Stylist in New York.
Bloggers like Damsel in Dior and Kat from With Love from Kat spoke on panels and offered advice on blogging, social media, and more.
It was interesting that I was pegged to be on the entrepreneur panel and not the ‘blogger’ panel, but when you think about it, I’m doing more than blogging these days! My book is done and off to the editor; today I am a Style Correspondent for the Soul Train Awards! Isn’t GOD good, by the way?!?
So I’ll be honest: I picked up a few items from Net a Porter to wear to the Soul Train Awards, just so that I could have options. I ultimately decided to wear something else, but didn’t want to let my fab finds go to waste. So I wore a gown to the conference. Specifically Solace London’s Black Paige Belted Cutout Maxi Dress.
I tried to dress it down with hoops and Christian Louboutin pumps, but THEN I slipped on a fur and proceeded to be totally overdressed.LOL.
Fashion Is supposed to be fun! You’re supposed to stand out. Glitter, sparkle, and shine. Life is your stage and the world is your runway.
I said hey to Vanessa Simmons, who gave the Keynote. She looked bomb in French Connection and Christian Louboutin Heart pumps.
Then I was off to the airport!
I’m in Las vegas for one day, then am back home to NYC…then off to Lagos, Nigeria.
Where will I go next…(hint LA)?
Love + Light,
