A style & beauty aficionado obsessed with fancy shoes, plum lipsticks & and inspirational quotes!
IDK about you all but I am so ready for summer! I want to walk outside and say, “Gosh darn it’s hot outside!” Hopefully mother nature will hear my prayers. In the meantime, I’ve started a Summer Bucket List. WHY? Because I plan to have a freaking blast this summer. I mean the kinda of...
So somehow I forgot to announce that I am one of the 11 bloggers on this year’s Fashion Front for FFFWeek®. After receiving over 100+ applications from across the nation, FFFWeek® choose Gorgeous In Grey (woot woot!). The Fashion Front serves as the full figured fashion force at the front-lines of Full Figured Fashion Week (FFFWeek®) in New York –...
Hey girl hey! I’m officially back in New York city (does happy church dance) and kinda sorta back in the groove. I’ve got tons of product reviews, funny a$$ vlogs, and.. wait for it… I’m bringing back my style diary! In case you were somewhere living your own life and not stalking mine (please believe...
You guys know I had a pretty difficult week! So when I learned that my date with Rihanna had been rescheduled, hunty, I was more than excited. My friend joked and said that my Mom got to heaven and told God he had to move the concert to Tuesday. I suppose it’s all in how...
Is there really a need for me to describe how much I love Olivia Pope Kerry Washington?! In my mind, we’ve been friends for such a long time. I’ve been with her for all the great moments and even some of the bad. Like her role in “Ray”. I told her that her hoodrat role...
Since moving to New York, I’ve become quite the frugalista. One could say that I was inspired by my somewhat over-priced monthly rent payment, or perhaps it’s that astronomically priced metro card I have to get on the regular?! Whatever my motivation is, I think it’s time that I bring my old school habits back...
When I was 6, you helped me find my own style. You’d make sure my hair was always neatly twisted with matching bow ties and barrettes. Every look I wore had a theme. Sometimes, I was a sailor girl. Sometimes I was dressed like Jane Fonda with a bright headband, a colorful track jacket, and...
I’ve been not so secretly swooning over Mynt 1792 since I was first introduced to them at Full Figured Fashion Week last year. My love affair with this brand begins at their classic denim pieces and ends somewhere with their obsession with creating transitional lifestyle pieces. I had the opportunity to visit their showroom in...
You guys know how I am about my polish! So trust (insert typical black girl pause) I was beyond intrigued when I found this new YSL La Laque Couture Tie & Dye Nail Lacquer on my homies blog. Problem is, I am not willing to commit my hard earned $25.00 to a nail polish (especially since most...

So about that free Kelly Rowland concert sponsored by Courvoisier… Courvoisiology Lab is alright with me! Cocktails on repeat and 1/3 of Destiny’s Child on the stage making you bump like this (insert a 30-second dance party here) makes for one great night in New York city. Kelly (yes, we are on a first name basis) helped...
Hey readies! I am super duper pumped about my next venture in blogging. I’ll be hosting a business forum at The Makeup Show NYC 2013. The forum will discuss social media, the speed of communication, and how we access information that has made building a personal business more simple and more complicated than ever before. Beauty...
