Happy Monday!
This past Saturday, I was offered the awesome opportunity to participate on the keynote panel of the Blogging While Brown Conference alongside Necole Bitchie, Karen Civil, and Angel Laws of Concrete Loop.

The subject was “From Blogging to Empire Building“, and we chatted about the positives and negatives of blogging, and also offered pointers on how to turn your hobby into a business (the short answer: mix passion with hard work).

The ladies who shared the stage with me are not only colleagues, but are also inspirations, so it was an exciting moment–and hopefully a foreshadowing of even more fabulous things to come.

Faith was traveling and Cliché got the times mixed up, but Jihan did come through in a spring ready Equipment striped shirt and Zara floral pants, topped off by a Jewelmint Necklace and Aldo white pumps.

As for me, I slipped on one of my (and Jihan’s) favorite designers, Mary Katrantzou, specifically her Spring 2013 printed long sleeve blouse and Venezuela skirt.

I accessorized with Proenza Schouler Silver Sandals, a Baublebar Twitter nameplate necklace, vintage sunnies, and my favorite Proenza plum bag.

Apparently Necole and Angel took video of the proceedings, so I’ll update the post once I get a link.
Until then, what do you think of my conference look?

“Basically any color to match the tone of my skin.”


” Then I have those days in the summer and spring when I’ll get up and feel like a sexy beast.”


” I’ll dress for the occasion, by wearing bright colors, more so on the preppy side.”


” If there was a store to possibly describe me on those days it would probably be J. Crew.”


Sexy beast, indeed! My favorite looks might have to be your colorblocked blue and red look. Dapper!

Fashion News: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana Sentenced To Prison For Tax Evasion

Proving yet again that no one is exempt from the law, a Milan court found Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana guilty of tax evasion. The verdict came today; a result of of an extensive trial dating back to 2011.

Interview

While the initial case was thrown out, an appeal made by the prosecution to Italy’s Supreme Court found the designing duo in hot water yet again.

As to be expected, the attorneys of Dolce and Gabbana made vehement attempts to have the lawsuit dismissed. However, the odds were not in their favor this time around. Judge Antonella Brambilla sided with the prosecution, finding the pair guilty of failing to “declare euros 1 billion ($1.3 billion) in income to authorities.” They, along with a handful employees, have been sentenced to one year and eight months in prison.

The designers and their co-defendants are expected to appeal the verdict.
