Tracee Ellis Ross wants you to love your hair

Watch:

Let the church say, “AMEN!”

I love my hair because:

1. It has a mind of its own.

2. It’s big. And as a Southerner, the bigger the hair, the closer to God.

3. It’s fluffy.

4. It’s resilient! It survived tragic haircuts, bad dye jobs, and over 15 years of chemical processing.

5. It’s mine. And discovering it has taught me to love myself, as I am.

Do you love your hair? Tell us why in the comments!

Xo, Alexis

You’re invited: shop our Stella & Dot trunk show!

StellaDot_hostessguide
*Darlings, this trunk show has ended. Regular posting will resume on June 10. See you then!*

Have you shopped Stella & Dot’s fabulous jewelry and accessory line? Well, here’s your opportunity! From May 20-24, SCDD is hosting a Stella & Dot trunk show as only we can: online! I absolutely love their pieces; whether you are looking for something delicate or want to make a bold statement, you can find something stylish, unique and well-made at Stella & Dot.

Shop by clicking HERE.

More about Stella & Dot: this direct sales retailer is driven by hostess parties and stylists who have turned jewelry shopping into an intimate, fun experience. With chic, well-crafted pieces and a variety of price ranges, Stella & Dot is about to become a billion dollar enterprise. CEO Jessica Herrin was inspired in part by her grandmother, Stella; “Dot” is Chief Creative Officer Blythe Davis’ grandmother, from whom she inherited her “style and passion for beautiful things.”

And of course I’ve handpicked a few baubles I think are just fabulous: check them out in the Wish List!

Special thanks to Stella & Dot stylist Ashley Stork for coordinating this! Connect with Stella & Dot on Facebook for style inspiration and deals; they also offer flat rate $5.95 shipping and free returns.

(Don’t snooze on this; I am still mad I missed out on the super cute Alice Temperley limited edition fox ring they had a few collections ago!)

Happy shopping!

Fashion Recap: Belk/BBJ Women’s Summit Fashion Show!

I had a fabulous time hosting the Belk Fashion Show during the Birmingham Business journal’s Women’s Summit this past Friday at the Wynfrey Hotel! The models were Belk’s store associates, and they did an amazing job showcasing looks from Trina Turk, Plenty by Tracy Reese, Sunny Leigh, Vince Camuto and more. If you’re looking for on-trend attire that is appropriate for work and play this Spring, Belk has it!

Like my outfit? I’m wearing an antique white and hot orange Bar III Spring Collection peplum dress from Macy’s and Manolo Blahnik stilettos with a fuchsia rattan clutch (similar here, here and here). I thought I’d try some color-blocking to accent my (new) red hair!
