The Greatest Homecoming on Earth...

Last weekend was North Carolina A&T University's Homecoming. It's called the Greatest Homecoming on Earth. I attend their Homecoming more often than attending my alma mater, University of Delaware. I am amazed at all of the alumni, young and old, that come back to attend and support this HBCU Homecoming. Parties, tailgating, concerts, parades, open houses, fish frys, and of course football is enjoyed throughout the weekend in Greensboro. All of the community comes out to support NCA&T's Homecoming, whether you attended the college or not. Below are a few pics my photographer (14 yr old daughter) took of me before I headed out to attend my girlfriend Lydia's Open House.

9 West booties, which will be in heavy rotation this Fall/Winter.

Smooth Operator...

Last night my husband and I went to see my favorite female vocal artist, Sade. This was my 3rd time seeing her perform live on stage. Last night she was completely amazing! She looked gorgeous! Classic Sade: red lipstick, sleek ponytail, big hoops, and sultry voice. As mentioned here I stated that my favorite Sade song is "Cherish the Day." Well, guess what her finale song was? It was "Cherish the Day!" Love her! Pics below of what I wore to the concert.

Cherish the Day...

If you really know me, you know I love Sade. So you can imagine how happy I was when I heard on my car radio that she is coming to Greensboro, NC to perform on September 10th! I've seen her in concert twice back in the day. She was fab then, I heard she is even more fab now. Sade is timeless. I love the above look. Big, simple hoops with lots of necklaces! My kind of girl.
Stay tuned for my Sade hoops. They will be plain and simple, no beads. Classic. I will have medium sized, large, and jumbo. They will come in copper and silver.

Cherish the Day is my favorite Sade song. I hope you all are cherishing your day. Even in this heat. North Carolina feels like Jamaica yall.
