courage vs. fear | afrobella at tedx port of spain

As long as I have been blogging, I have been watching Ms. Patrice Yursek do her thang over on her website afrobella. I 've mentioned her before on my blog, and I have to say she an invisible freind in my head. Her talk about "courage vs. fear" and "making your own runway" was really on point! I love her writing, and I just wanted to share her light with you all.

Sidenote: Isn't her necklace the bomb!

Notable mentions....

Two of my favorite bloggers were chosen to tweet and comment live from the OSCARS!!! Luvvie and Afrobella (huge shout-out to my hometown Chicago) are bringing us a unique look from backstage and the Red Carpet and I cannot wait to "see" the Oscars through their eyes. This opportunity could not have happened to lovelier ladies. Look for the "snark" on the carpet from Luvvie, and plenty of comments from Bella on all things beautiful. Dean Richards interviewed them on WGNTV.

Fab Over Fifty is showing us how to get looks for less from New York Fashion Week. FOF is also giving away this hand-embroidered bracelet from Lavish Jewelry. They took all the colors in the rainbow, beaded them together and brought us this beautiful bracelet. You can rock it with practically anything.
