I wore shorts the other day. Lace shorts, without tights. Hold on, wait. So maybe, just maybe, I am a little excited about getting dressed and having a place to go again. I’ve been temping for two fashion companies. It isn't so bad. On some days, I work work in...
Truthfully, I liked the majority of the photos that my coworker took for me that one time I ventured to Harlem for brunch.
But I don't have anything to say worthy of a blog post to go with them.
"You're really beautiful," my on-camera coach told me as I washed my hands after using the restroom. Our eyes met in the mirror as she finished, "but you must know that."
She continued on--stay with me, asking, "where are you from? New York?" "The men must love you there," she said, sure of herself.
Here's the thing, my darling New York. As she said this, I couldn't help but make a face.
I lightly touched on this before with you. Perhaps, my tone came across like I was joking. I wasn't. I'm serious.
Leave me alone.
And, shut up.
I'm saying yes to everything this summer. New York in the summer is the absolute best. Once you get past the trash smell that always seems to get in your mouth and your clothing sticking to you while you wait for your train, it's really, a...
I'm going to tell you a secret. There is a couple across the street that I like to watch from my window from every now and then. It's not as creepy as it sounds. Stay with me. They make dinner together, and then the husband--I assume--puts the...
This is the thing about fall, it's everyone's favorite, yes. Cue Miranda Priestly's floral's for spring eyeroll. But in my opinion, it's only fun, for like, the first couple weeks. Basically, it's all good until you have to put on some tights. Or a coat. Which I...
I need some time management skills. Either that or get used to not sleeping. I'm so tired I could put my head down at my desk and sleep. I haven't had a nap, an intentional nap, since I've moved to New York. There aren't enough hours in the...
I can't remember which of you suggested that I pin my hair for a couple days before wrapping it, but I love you for suggesting that. I pinned my hair for almost the whole week after I had it done. I didn't mind the church curls!...
Hello, hello, hello! My name is Eboni, and I write The Fashionista Next Door. I tried to stow away in Channing suitcase, but alas, I did not fit. *sigh* I guess I’ll have to find another way to get to Paris. So, while she’s gallivanting around France, I’m happy to...
I tried to be patriotic on Wednesday. I did. But I don't own much red. Orange-y red cropped jeans is the closest thing to red I own. But it was way too hot for jeans. So I did blue, white, red lips, a neon bag and leopard shoes. I...
