We can now shop the Poshmark Facebook popup store inside Macy’s. Poshmark has partnered its seller community with Facebook to showcase select brands at Macy’s. Poshmark will be hosting in-store events where you can get to know fellow Poshmark sellers, stylists and do some shopping.

Texture On The Runway 2018, New York Fashion Week
Texture on the runway is one of my favorite New York Fashion Week events. A few years ago NaturallyCurly.com founder Michelle Breyer created Texture On The Runway to fill a void. Just like Michelle, during Fashion Week I would always be looking for representation of women that looked like me. Thanks to Texture on the Runway powered by Sally Beauty, mainstream media and the fashion industry have to pay attention to the undeniable beauty of textured hair. This year the Texture On The Runway theme had to be influenced by the current state of society’s unwillingness to have multiple leaders or “Queens” in certain categories.

Until then here are 5 ways to stay cool in the kitchen now. 1. Don’t Turn On The Oven. Baking is fun, but you may want to save that recipe for another day.

In 1991 she left her Senior Fashion Editor/Head of Accessories role at (the now defunct) Mademoiselle Magazine. During her time there she noticed the market lacked fashion forward sensible handbags and decided to create her own. In her NYC apartment with construction paper and scotch tape, she made the prototypes of the handbags we came to know and love. Kate did what many of us can’t, which is to take a chance to bring…
