Making the MLK Movie
After living and breathing "Precious" for the past few years, many of us were probably wondering what director Lee Daniels would do next. The filmmaker, known for bringing films to the screen that center around

Thursday, March 18, 2010
Tunics have become one of Tory Burch’s signature statements. But although we’re not surprised to see them in her collection, she does manage to continue to do fresh interpretations each season. I love this Kara Tunic ($408) because it screams casual chic and the Native American-inspired print gives me that Zen feeling.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Earlier this week, WWD reported that American Eagle is planning to shut down Martin + Osa. Well it’s not too late to snatch some of their amazing and affordable styles. For example, I love these Cairo Flats ($89). Adorned with those stylish studs (and rubber soles) they easily elevate the idea of a knock-around shoe.

Okay every time “A Low Dirty Shame” comes on I’m always reminded how much I like Salli Richardson-Whitfield. But our girl continues to do her thing over on the Syfy Network where she is going into her fourth season of playing Allison Blake on “Eureka”. She was at the network’s upfront yesterday ( in a [...]
