This past summer I attended the Ubiquitous Health and Hair Trade Show in D.C. It was my second year attending and as a newbie to the natural hair world, I enjoyed and absorbed all of the things I could learn about natural hair care and products. I’ll have to save my natural hair care journey…
The weather in the DMV has been unusual to say the least! It seems like summer actually began in early May, which brought high temperatures and thunderstorms. Over the past few weeks temperatures have fluctuated and we have experienced a considerable amount of rain. I was able to get in a day at the beach a…
Over the past few weeks I’ve been preparing for an upcoming trip and giving a lot of thought to what shoes to pack. Of course, I have to be very thoughtful about how many I pack because three weeks ago I experienced severe back pain and therefore, I am trying really hard to NOT over pack, and especially shoes. So I’ve packed clothes in the…
Two week’s ago my shoe lovers post was about DISCO Boots! I’d attended a birthday party and danced in those YELLOW disco boots all night! What I didn’t share is that I also went to an Omega Psi Phi Mardi Gras party on Friday night, and to a Charlie Wilson, Joe, and Kem concert on Sunday night! I danced…
This weekend I attended a disco themed party to celebrate my girl Felicia’s 50th birthday! The celebration lasted two days! I was the official event photographer and captured some very awesome and fun moments. One of the highlights as shown below are the boots worn by me and some of the guests. A few more party…
Over 15 years ago I began collecting miniature shoes. I started collecting them after spotting the Just the Right Shoe miniature shoe line by artist/designer Raine at a Hallmark store during a business trip. It was another way to feed my shoe fetish, and would replace the purchase of souvenir t-shirts and coffee cups! I’d traveled a lot…
Over the past several years I’ve explored and expanded my shoe style to include more color, prints, and patterns – from multi-colored striped fabrics to animal prints. I purchased a pair of animal print ankle boots a couple of years ago and the entire boot, including the heel is animal print as shown below. I liked the quality of…
When you are truly passionate or fanatical about something, it can often expand to other areas of your life, take over your household, or cost you thousands of dollars. For example, I am sure you know someone that has an overwhelming collection of t-shirts, souvenirs, magnets, sports or animal paraphernalia (cows, cats, owls, elephants, etc.). Although I…
I’ve always liked western styled boots, and thought they were especially cute as part of drill team attire! But I never thought I’d actually purchase a pair because I’ve never felt the cowgirl vibe. Another reason I haven’t purchased a traditional pair of cowgirl boots is I couldn’t think of what I’d wear them with…
Last week’s post featured UGG boots and shoes. I photographed my UGG boots, which keep my feet and legs very warm. I love to wear boots in the fall and winter months, as I’m not one to wear boots in the spring and summer, it just seems a little odd because when I was growing up my…
