In response to a friend pt.3: The Conclusion and outfit post

And so concludes this lengthy discussion and feature on my blog. I wanted to return to the blog with ample to say. Next time I will not wish so hard for content. This month I start the 30x30 project in an attempt to challenge myself and my idea of creating new ideas with what I already have. February also marks Black History Month and I cannot wait to share some interesting stories of African Americans in fashion and art. This is outfit number 3. I was feeling sluggish and decided my comfy and square shouldered Maje top was perfect with this wool banded skirt I picked up at a flea market a year ago.

The book Couture by Caroline Rennolds Milbank

If you read my Twitter you know that I was very proud to finally have a living room after a few months without one. I use it to read fashion books...and take pictures of myself.

 Although this book is rare I highly recommend that you hunt this book down. 

The photos are impressive as well as Milbank's writing.

Blogger Alert!: EatOnThis.com

I know I am filling the blog with a lot of Baltimore love but I think it is a little over due. Abdu is one righteous fashion blogger that speaks from his heart with every post. He is an inspiration to me because he pulls only from his own interests. His blog is EatOnThis.com, take a look and I guarantee you will become enamored. I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with him recently and even in his bundled up attire he managed to work it! 

1. What is your name? Abdu "Ali" Eaton with a capital A.

2. Why do you blog about fashion? Do you see it as a career? It has always been apart of my upbringing from my momz making sure I was fresh with all the Tommy Hilfiger gear, the latest timberland boots, and Felas too. So I always had pride in my attire and the way that I presented my self but I did not grow a passion for it until high school. I joined a fashion group, coped me a Harpers Bazaar. And there it was: the fashion bug done bit my ass. So I've been in a committed relationship with her(fashion) since I was 15. What a romance. Not only do I see blogging about fashion as a career, I see it as a lifelong dream of inspirations.

Did I mention I am Live Blogging today?

Fashion week is in full swing! And I have the pleasure of live blogging for TheCreativecookie.net. Here are some sneak peeks at who spoke and the people i met! Note: Look at Bryan Boy's shoes!!!! (last picture)
