If we're to believe the New York Times, falling in love is as simple as answering 37 questions and then making direct eye contact. I read an article stating such in bed early one Monday (after hitting snooze twice) and decided that I believed it. While I...

Here on The City, we are all about cultivating personal style, luckily, we can look to some of our favorite celebrities for a few style lessons. mira-duma-style-height-fashion-channing-hargrove-blog-channing-in-the-city I'd seen Mira Duma all over the Internet before I knew who she was, or what she was famous for. I just knew that she was my height--or, so it appeared--with hair that was both chic and messy, and she always looked impeccable. A little research told me that she was Miroslava Duma, a former editor at Russian Harper's Bazaar, who now runs Buro 24/7, the fashionable, Russian version of the Huffington Post. Duma is also the digital director of TSUM (a fancy Russian department store on the order of Bergdorf Goodman). And when she isn't hard at work on her site, she's more than likely posing for street style photographers or actual fashion campaigns for Oscar de la Renta's collection for The Outnet, Roger Vivier or Ferragamo. Though the-28-year-old stands a just a little over 5 feet, she reads taller than she actually is, giving me so many ideas for looks to try. I won't even try to hide the fact that I'm obsessed with her (and she may or may not have taken over my Style-piration board on Pinterest). Let's examine her style, shall we?

If ever I was an outfit, this look is what I'd be. A bunch of stuff that doesn't really go: polka dots, sequins, big necklace, over-the-knee socks, studded booties, topped off with a cape. I absolutely loved this outfit. I ventured to the Target in Harlem...

Sunday morning, I didn't like my hair. I was bored and ready to cut it. The only thing stopping me was that I didn't exactly narrow down how short--and I don't have a hairstylist that I trust yet. I was so tired of my hair....

  Hey, yall! Remember me? Really short girl? Big smile? In love with sequins? Since we last talked: our president is still black, I was featured on Refinery29, in their Real Girl's Guide to Transitioning, we celebrated Thanksgiving (hopefully not trampling anyone the next day) and it...

So, I was barely dressed when my mother and I decided to go out to lunch. Instead of changing completely, I decided to just wear a cute coat and shoes. Forever 21 Scarf J.Crew Factory Boyfriend Sweater Target Mossimo Brown Tank American Eagle Boyfriend Jeans Etienne Aigner Suede Booties Marc by...

This post is dedicated to my new friend Khadijah, who I met while killing time in Penn Station in the city. She complimented me on my olive green ASOS hooded military cape and said that she wasn't sure she could pull one off. She thought it...

I'm excited! Have you just ever been excited for no reason? Well, I have a reason, so many reasons. And I'm just excited and ready for the new year. I am still trying to master this whole cold weather but need to take pictures outside for...

So today, I woke up wanting to wear my version of a 'suit.' Except, I stepped outside and it was freeezing! It knocked all of the cool out of my walk. I didn't even want to take pictures. Now, what style blogger do you know that doesn't feel like taking pictures? So....

Oh, you guys let me tell you! It was not my intention to go so long without posting but my MacBook, Mackenzie, needed serious help. She needed a new battery and adapter and wouldn't turn on. *Cue wall slide and ugly cry* Yesterday, thanks to my new...
