“…where she gives tips on fashion, beauty, and anything else that’s on her mind.”
“Pleeeease feature her! :-)”
OK! Classic with a twist is spot on. Love that blue dress.

So last week I was asked by Lincoln to join them as their special guest at Essence Magazine’s 5th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon . Though I had planned to be in Milan for Fashion Week, I’d heard the event was motivational and inspirational–basically something I wouldn’t want to miss! So at the end of London Fashion Week, I hopped on an 11 hour flight and popped into LA to see what was what:
To say the event was star studded would be an understatement. From Kelly Rowland to Jill Scott to Tasha Smith, the room was bubbling over with black stars.
I made my way around the room to say hey to a few:
In the Lincoln Lounge, I caught up with Jurnee Smollett, who looked sophisticated in pearly purple chiffon.
I also said hey to Love That Girl star and classmate Tatyana Ali. She was covering her dress a bit, but it was bananas. The cutouts were amazing!
Then inside the venue..
I caught up with cutie Tika Sumpter, who epitomized chic in black lace.
I complimented Jill Scott on her fly new hair style. The asymmetrical cut looks gorge, no?
And of course I had to say congratulations to two of the day’s honorees, including Paula Patton, the recipient of the Shining Star Award:
And Kerry Washington who won the Vanguard Award:
During her acceptance speech, Kerry Washington said, “There really is room for all of us. There really is a need for all of us.” The sense of appreciation and sisterhood in the room was palpable. I left feeling encouraged to continue to strive for the best in my industry and in life!
With all the fashion week madness I didn’t have much time to shop for my outfit, so decided to snag a piece from the Mary Katrantzou x Topshop collection during a lull in London:
I think your description is spot on. I love your red coat and those flat lace ups are to die!

Hey Hey!
Check out today’s Bombshell, the lovely Kelly from New York:
She says, “I would describe my style as girly..”
“…chic,”
“… fun…”
“…easygoing…”
“… and simple.”
” I love to just choose a specific item of clothing…”
” and build my outfit around it.”
“Everything usually just comes together effortlessly.”
Hey Kelly! You’re definitely a Bombshell! I love how you play with colors and have fun with accessories. Work those turbans!

Gorgeous! The pictures are lovely, but I wish I could see more head-to-toe looks. From what I can see, you look great!

” If I could shop anywhere in the world, it would be Julia Sarr Jamois’s closet.”
” Her style is simply amazing!”
Your style is pretty amazing, too! I think you gave an accurate description of your look: simple, colorful, and full of fun asymmetrical details. Very cute–and am I alone in seeing the Solange resemblance?

Closing out this fashionable week is Leonette from DC
She says, “If I had to describe my style, I would describe it as diverse.”
“… I don’t subscribe to any one fashion mantra and very frequently bounce from one category to another depending on my mood or what I got going on. I easily go from conservative/sophisticated, classic, simple, casual chic to funky, sexy, high end, vibrant and trendy.”
“… I love the idea of balancing conservative roles without compromising my love of fashion and style!”
” One of my goals with my blog is to inspire young women who have many responsibilities and have somehow lost themselves and fashion sense in their individual roles.”
” I don’t believe it’s a contradiction to be an excellent parent, ambitious professional and fashionista all at the same time!”
“…I started a personal style and lifestyle blog, Milk and Honeeyz (www.milkandhoneeyz.blogspot.com), as an outlet for me to share my personal style and experiences as a young mother, attorney, single woman and fashion lover.”
You have a very diverse style! My favorite might have to be your striped skirt and colorful top combo. Tres chic!

Oscar de la Renta is very glamorous, so I incorporated a bit of glamour with a vintage crystal necklace and Alexis Bittar earrings. And of course I slipped on a beret for warmth (I love berets. This one didn’t quite match, but I didn’t care).
I stacked everything in my Givenchy, and was on my way.
Eh ben, voila! My last Style Diary of Fashion Week (phew!). What do you think?
Happy Almost End of Fashion Week!
The other day I had a four hour gap in between shows, so headed downtown to my favorite restaurant, Café Felix, to get some blogging done:
At Felix, I can always find a quiet sun drenched corner to tap away, nibble, sip, and reflect on the day:
For my several hour layover, I ordered escargot (yum!) and a glass of prosecco.
As for my outfit, I went for simplicity in a white t-shirt from J.Crew, my Helmut Lang blazer, and a gold pendant necklace by Jenny Bird from Michelle New York:
I added some glam with a pleated gold skirt by Elie Tahari along with a pair of vintage Lanvin chain strap pumps:
