These Miu Miu heels are so darling. I love the curve of the heel, it suits a very modern girl.

Awkward Black Girl
Dear Issa Rae,
Yesterday, I decided to engage in a bit of online humor and remembered the rave reviews I heard about your show via Clutch magazine. Within the first minute I was hooked. I laughed until the episode was over and repeated the same pattern until I realized I had completed the series in one sitting. Thank you for making characters that I and so many others can relate to. Yes, I have tried to avoid making eye contact with someone I know while driving or walking down a hall way. Yes, I've pretended to search for that important "thing" in my car to avoid an awkward situation and although I've never faked a phone conversation I've certainly typed out a few fake text messages. We even share an obsession with Donald Glover. You get me and I get you! Awkwardness transcends race and gender and it's evident in your comedy. Like your producer said, "There's a little bit of awkward in all of us" and your show makes it that much cooler.
Sincerely,
Another Awkward Black Girl Ericka
Watch the first episode of "Awkward Black Girl". By the way, It's not exactly safe for work.

Julia Sarr-Jamois
We here at The Bazaar Collection have been following the 23-year old fashion editor for Wonderland magazine for quite sometime. Julia Sarr-Jamois' style is organic and effortless. It may have been birthed from the fusion of her Senegalese and Parisian cultures or her days as a model. Either way it's stunning. Check out our favorite looks below!

Bon Iver
There are so many pieces of music floating around the world it doesn't seem like you could listen to it in a lifetime. So, I'm always excited to broaden my collection of music and currently Bon Iver is my indie band of choice. Even though I can't say I've been a fan since the beginning; it's nice to add a change of pace to my itunes by placing this serene almost melancholy group in the midst of the vibrant jazz, hip hop, and r&b tunes. Download their EP Blood Bank here. It isn't their latest work, it's just what got me hooked.
Cheers to @caryfagan for sharing this.

Frank Ocean's Swim Good
Here is Frank Ocean's portrayal of a panda who slays a pretty girl with a samurai sword. Strange? We agree. But, we can't deny how beautiful it is on film.

Your Favorite Song is a Lie.
Dear Music Industry,
Most of my favorite songs are repackaged hits from the 60's and 70's. Words cannot express how much my heart breaks when I realize how unoriginal you are. Don't pretend that you're creating "art" when you're just recycling beats and lyrics that belonged to another generation.
XO,
Ericka

Are You An Amber?
A few days ago I made a shopping trip to my local mall. I'm not sure if it's like this for everyone else, but whenever I need to walk out with shopping bags I always leave empty-handed and I didn't want that to happen this trip.
After 30 minutes of picking over the endless racks I found a statement piece! I ran my hands over the sleeves of the dress in approval and thought my mission was complete. Then I realized the dress I had fallen in love with so quickly already had a home in my friend's closet.
Although I tried to ignore it, I didn't like the idea of being a clone. Seeing myself in the mirror with her dress on opened a flood gate of questions. But nothing ceased the desire to head for the cash register until the following scene began to play out in my head:

In the end I couldn't go through with the purchase. I've never been an Amber and I refused to let that trip be a turning point.
Have you ever been tempted? Or have you ever noticed that your friends new dress looked a lot like the one you had on last week. Sound off in the comments below.
