I love The Budget Babe. They have wonderful fashion finds for a lady on a budget so it kind of feels like you’re in on a great secret. Also, they have this super fun game that I play every time it pops on my reader… today’s game is with Frye boots. I got it right today (smile), but there are definitely days when I pick the bargain version and am shocked! Below is The Budget Babe’s look-a-like challenge today. One pair… View Post

Jamillah / February 10, 2011 / Comments Off

I want my bit about jewelry from yesterday to have it’s own post. I really want to encourage wearing things that are meaningful to you because it really does brighten my day.

The Cartier watch was a college graduation gift… View Post

Jamillah / February 9, 2011 / Comments Off

Last night I attended an event thrown by Urban Girl Squad, and hosted by In Good Company. The event was called, “Be Your Own Boss: Intro to Entrepreneurship” now typically a title like this would make me sigh and then delete… I don’t really dream of being my own boss or making boatloads of money but I DO dream of contributing to this world in a way that is right for me and I haven’t been able to find an… View Post
