Thrifty Shops: What’s New At Not Just Vintage
Those of you who followed my now defunct blog on Honeymag.com know that I love Not Just Vintage. It’s a cool boutique located in the heart of Bed-Stuy with super low prices and great clothes–a lot of which is mod Afrocentric. They carry indie designers like Harriet’s Alter Ego but also cool 80s inspired blouses and blazers. I sometimes secretly like dressing like Sandra from 227 (I guess the jig is up) and they supply a lot of my compulsion to do that. You can get blazers for as low as $25 bucks, tops, bottoms and skirts for as low Read the rest of this entry »

Guest Post: Style Art Week Uzbekistan 2010 (Recap)
This is a guest post from my friend Loud Pen, who had the amazing opportunity to check out Style Art Week in Uzbekistan. I thought this was an amazing opportunity for her, especially since she has had a rough year, similar to my bad year last year.

Writer Reflections: Trina Really Is The Baddest Bitch
Admittedly, I’ve never been a Trina fan. I was always indifferent because I just never clicked with her music enough (with the exception of a song or two). However, she has been the most consistent femcee with a major deal in the last decade as far as putting out consecutive music. I’ve discovered throughout my journey as a writer that people’s personalities help tremendously. I got the chance to interview her for nearly an hour last week because she guest edited VIBE.com on Friday. We talked about her fitness plan, she gave us a girl power playlist, she revealed how Read the rest of this entry »
