Fly Event: C. Wonder Presents An Evening With Comedian and Author Ali Wentworth and Adam Glassman, Creative Director Of O, The Oprah Magazine

21 Feb

Burch vs. Burch. I just read the New York Magazine article about exes and rivals Christopher Burch and Tory Burch and the article states how although Tory Burch might be the more popular of the former couple, Christopher could be a fashion icon within his own right. He recently opened a store in Soho called C.Wonder which might mimic Tory’s peppy style.

Join C.Wonder- to check the similarities of Tory’s store, as they welcome Ali Wentworth (comedian and author) and Adam Glassman of O Magazine for an event of fashion and fun.

The evening will include a Q&A with Adam and Ali, where they will answer questions from shoppers in-store, as well as select questions taken from twitter followers, who tweeted to @CWonderStore #AliandAdam in the days leading up to the event. During the Q&A, Ali and Adam will give the lowdown on must-have spring trends and discuss Ali’s hilarious memoir, Ali in Wonderland. Purchase Ali’s book from the store and get 10% off new spring merchandise.

When: Thu, February 23,5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Where: C. Wonder, 72 Spring St, New York, NY
Admission: Open

Fly Fashion: Cassie In Marques Almeida Cut Out Jeans

16 Feb

Cassie on 106 and Park

Diddy’s boo Cassie hit 106 & Park yesterday to debut her new video for ‘King of Hearts.’ She paired an animal print top, studded Christian Louboutins and Marques Almeida Cut Out Jeans. Marques Almeida debuted the Extreme Cut out denim last year during their Spring 2012 show at London’s Fashion Week.

If you’re feeling the jeans but truly believe you can make them yourself, check out one of my favorite YouTube Channels from a fellow Baltimorian, Julia of  Itsbiltzzz. She demonstrates how to deconstruct denim and how to create areas of shredding/distressing on your jeans.

Fly Read: The Way We Wore: Black Style Then

8 Feb

the way we wore

This book is really great because it emphasizes how crucial a role African-American fashion has played over the years. The Way We Wore: Black Style Then by Michael McCollom reminds me of skimming thru my parent’s photo albums; pictures of the stylish beginnings of a diverse group of African American tastemakers.

The snapshots come from within Michael McCollom’s own family and circle of friends who may include Oprah Winfrey, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Tracy Reese, Kimora Lee, Coco Mitchell and Iman, among others.

It’s a creative history book of black fashion.

Available at Barnes & Noble.
