Taking Over Tahoe With The Curators Of Cool Collective
After eating and drinking our way through Reno our first day, I joined the rest of the Creators of Cool Collective for a trip up the mountain to Diamond Peak Ski Resort to officially kick off our #TahoeTakeover. Being that the slopes opened up at 9 am and Incline Village was about 45 minutes away from our resort, it was an early start for us for sure. However, the morning sun over the snow-covered…
#BoardingpassBougie: Discovering The Wonders Of Reno, NV With Curators Of Cool Collective
Back in January, I was fortunate enough to link up with a group of amazing influencers and content creators for a ski trip to Lake Tahoe. But before trekking up the mountain, we had a chance to check out Reno, Nevada as well. I visited Reno once back in 2016 over Halloween weekend and fell in love with the scenery, food, and lost quite a bit of cash attempting to gamble. Naturally, I had…
Festing While Friendless: 5 Tips For Rolling Solo to A Music Festival
I know you have friends. They just aren’t here this weekend… BUT WAIT! Isn’t a Music Festival more fun with friends??? Well, that depends on the situation, really. Think about it. Is it really that much more fun to roll with a crew that you had to drag there? Girls who are more into taking selfies, popping pills, and making out with strangers (no judgment — get your life) than hopping from stage to…
Happy New Year!! Maroon 5 At Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas
Yeah yeah, I know. But you already know I’m a big-time pop music fan, so it should come as no shock to you all that I was ecstatic to spend the last day of 2015 belting out selections from everything from Songs About Jane to the present with my good friend LexiWithTheCurls. I decided to make New Year’s a double celebration for both the calendar flip and my very early January birthday, so why…
Experiencing “The Madness” With The Weeknd At Philips Arena
Home for the Holidays! But you know that wouldn’t keep me away from live shows…and one of my favorite artists is making a stop through while I’m back in town too? The Weeknd’s highly buzzed-about The Madness Fall Tour was winding down and making one of its final stops in my city, Atlanta, GA. Naturally, you know I’m in there. First of all, this was the first show I brought my mother to. Yes,…
looking “Vicious” With Young & Reckless x Dennis Morris Capsule Collection
What I’m wearing for fall shows… As temps cool down and leaves change color, 2015 festival season officially comes to a close. But all that means for a real live music lover is that the party moves indoors. While there may be no more large-scale outdoor festivals stateside until early Spring, major artists are kicking off — and continuing — nationwide tours in arenas and concert halls near you. Surely your flimsy fest wear…
Welcome To My (Bacardi) House Party! Meek Mill In The ATL
ATL…I’m baaaaack! New York has its benefits — however few and far between — but I ALWAYS miss my hometown. Like, on a daily basis. Now that I’m back in town for the Holidays, it’s time to see what shows and events I can get into without having to wear 8 layers of clothing and a puffy coat. First up, Bacardi’s cross-country House part event. If you haven’t caught the commercials, Bacardi is currently…
Dancing It Up With Sevyn Streeter At Banana Skirt Studio NYC
Last week, I had the opportunity to take a dance class with Sevyn Streeter herself and learn some new choreography to her latest single, “Shoulda Been There,” featuring her rapper boo B.O.B. Now, while I was under the impression the class would be full of a bunch of fans and just generally interested parties, apparently REAL PROFESSIONAL DANCERS were up in there, picking up the dance moves immediately and instinctively putting their own stank…
My NOLA Style: What I Wore To Beat The Heat At Essence Fest 2015
Big Easy style… Essence Festival 2015 has come to a close, and I had an amazing time — and likely gained about 6 pounds from all the New Orleans food, and sweated it all back off in the intense heat and humidity. Style-wise, even though New Orleans over July 4th weekend is possibly the hottest I have ever been in my natural life, this event is a bit more conservative and quite a bit…
