Last Saturday’s Eras of Black Style event at Macy’s/Riverchase Galleria was amazing! I had an awesome time from beginning to end!
It was such a treat being outfitted by celeb stylist Ryan Christopherand getting to talk style with Ebony Hall , co-anchor of ABC 33/40’s Good Morning Alabama, Miss Black US AmbassadorJazmine Scroggins and Montgomery fashion designer and consultant Perry Varner! I even got a little emotional when I was asked to share my journey as a fashion blogger.
It was such an honor to be asked to participate, and I enjoyed the Nathifa Dance Company’sspirited performance; enjoy the photos!

Recent studies show that rape is still all too prevalent. Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes. By the age of 18, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be victimized.

But that’s not all: you have until February 28 to enter Macy’s fab giveaway: aDelta Vacations trip for 2 to New York City (with hotel accommodations, round trip flights and a $1000 shopping spree)! For more details, visit www.macys.com/celebrate.
Get ready for the launch of London design team Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos’ capsule collection PETER PILOTTO for Target, which hits stores February 9. The collection includes separates, dresses, swimwear, shoes and accessories (including handbags and a beach towel). NET-A-PORTERwill also carry selected items.
I’m loving the beautiful print details and classic lines, but have no plans to camp out at my local Target at 5 AM. I’ve learned the hard way that the quality of these items’ in terms of fabric and construction sometimes leaves much to be desired, so be aware of that if you plan to shop the collection. Also, after pieces have left the shelves they may very well reappear in a Dirt Cheap near you…at a much lower price point than you paid in Target. So I’ll take my time.

My favorite from the launch? The Jacquard Dress in Red Iris print ($79.99).
Y’all know when Broadway Joe shows up, he shows out! Yesterday was no exception, as the University of Alabama grad appeared at the Super Bowl to handle the coin toss before the face-off between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. Today we honor Mr. Joe Namath’s sartorial choices with a look at the very best of his winter style statements. We do love our fur coats!
And warm wishes to everyone in Birmingham who survived last week’s “light dusting”….bring on Spring!
I received some unexpected good news that I wanted to share. Last Friday’s post on the Unclaimed Baggage Centerwas printed in the Sunday edition of The Birmingham News, The Mobile Press and The Huntsville Times!
After the initial shock of the news wore off and I went to pick up my copies today, I cried and did Beyonce’s Drunk in Love dance (NOT the one she performed last night on the Grammy Awards) and cried a little more…right on 20th Street North. It’s been a long road for me. I grew up taking the comic section from my Paw Paw’s Sunday Press-Register and have wanted to have a byline since I was in elementary school, so this is really a dream come true.
My senior quote was Thoreau’s “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” My castle is materializing, and I feel kind of like this:
And today is post number 550. It doesn’t get much better, especially when I didn’t know if I’d make it to number 50! THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for supporting the blog.
If you know me, you know I LIVE for fabulosity at a fraction of the price. I also love a road trip. So traveling to Scottsboro to spend a day treasure hunting at the Unclaimed Baggage Center (UBC) was right up my alley. I’d heard bits and pieces about this amazing place – where travelers’ unclaimed items wind up for sale – but there’s nothing like seeing it for yourself: it’s truly what Vogue has called a “fashion fool’s paradise.” Why?
For one thing, it’s HUGE: 40,000 square feet, to be exact. New and gently loved footwear (Christian Louboutin, anyone?), formalwear (one bargain-savvy bride outfitted herself and her bridesmaids at UBC) and casual clothing for the whole family, fine jewelry, sporting goods, electronics (I’m talking iPhones, iPads, and DSLR cameras, darlings) and more can be found within the space, at 30-80% off retail prices (you do the math). But you’re not scooping up dirty clothes or smartphones with someone else’s data. Items are thoroughly cleaned, tested and repaired (if necessary and possible) before they hit the shelves and racks. Offerings change frequently, and part of the fun in shopping is you never know exactly what you will find. What isn’t sold – or what doesn’t make it to the salesfloor at all – is repurposed or donated. The strangest item I saw (which is part of UBC’s permanent collection) was definitely the Hoggle, a huge muppet from the movie Labyrinth.
A few words of advice: if you snag something you love, buy it; leave it and it might not be there when you return! I am KICKING myself for not grabbing the Louis Vuitton clutch someone else snagged when I moved on to another rack. Also, wear comfortable shoes, and give yourself time to really dig into the racks. If you get tired, thirsty or need a snack, there’s comfortable seating where you can recharge, and the menu at the onsite Cups Cafe will give you a second wind.
The Unclaimed Baggage Center is located at 509 West Willow Street , Scottsboro, Alabama. It’s open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm; UCB is closed on Sundays. You can also connect with UBC on Twitter and Facebook.
