what do you do when you walk into a well-decorated abode? take pictures, of course. photographer todd selby is a fashion and interior design photographer who snaps pictures of creative people’s homes and workplaces for his blog, the selby. i can’t wait to pick up his book the selby is in your place. 
all pics via the selby.
while the vocals aren’t especially strong, the production is sooooo sexy. proud of the homie solange for making moves musically.
this 2011 picture of karla deras from karla’s closet started my love with chambray. her mix of an “industrial” shirt with a delicate skirt and clutch left me in awe.
btw, karla let her hair grow, but this boy cut was errythang! karla, i love you dearly, but CUT YOUR HAIR.
daft punk’s highly anticipated album drops may 21st. get lucky is my new ish. thanks to my co-worker for hipping me.
lovely day in dupont circle with danedra and kimberly. these are a few shots taken by photographer michael idiokitis for his forthcoming street style book. i don’t usually wear vegan leather pants and four-inch heels in the middle of the day, but it’s something about this city of compton t-shirt that makes me want to turn it up a notch. and crip walk.
my style crushes: solange, taylor tomasi hill, mira duma, jenna lyons and now…lucy chadwick. she’s an architect whose minimalist style and retro glasses stole my heart.
my style is often an odd mix. i love wax prints and west-african inspired designs. most days i wear pearls, but i’m far from dainty. bright colors rule my wardrobe, and i have a serious love affair with primary colors. for example, i’ve worn some iteration of orange, green and blue three days this week. my favorite shoes are oxfords, loafers and pointed flats. my favorite jewelry is chunky. my favorite clothing is separates that i mix and match. in light of the foregoing, it’s no surprise that j.crew’s spring 2013 lookbook is pinned to my refrigerator. it makes me happy.
kenyan fashion designer katungulu mwendwa’s spring/summer 2013 collection is amazing.
the king and queen of hip-hop visited cuba recently and the media has been asking some serious questions. primarily, how did two negros receive clearances to travel to the most hated country (aside from venezuela) in the western hemisphere? in classic carter family fashion, jay released his response to he and b’s haters by song. in it, he claims to have called up president obama personally and received his approval for the trip. while i’m sure this was just obligatory rap bravado, watch below as white house press secretary jay carney responds to a journalist’s questions about the song. listening to this woman repeat a rap lyric was the highlight of my day.
let’s focus on what’s most important…that linen-zebra-print outfit that beyonce is wearing and how i wiped drool from my bottom lip when i saw it.
