Those Steve Madden Slide-Ins We All Had: Throwback Thursday

There was a time when clogs and slide-in shoes were all the rage. Were we just too lazy to buckle shoes? Were flip flops just too invasive to our toes? I don’t know why these got so popular but they totally did and when I saw the picture below, I …

Celebrating Oyin Handmade Being at Target Was Fantawesome!

I’ve been using Oyin Handmade stuff before I even knew who Jamyla Bennu was, and it started with the “Juices and Berries” spray. I can’t remember who told me about it but I know I smelled their hair one day and I was like “WHAT IS THAT??? I NEED IT!” …
