Ok Crablings, everyone knows how seriously I take my jeans collection. I will skimp everywhere else, refuse to buy typical designer bags, and wear costume jewelry – but I will NOT skimp on jeans. They are art. That said, I’m equally picky about cleaning them. They do not go in washing machines. Ever. Unless they are stretch skinny. But for the top dogs it’s … Read More Jean Envy

~CC dedicates this post to her good friend Savi, the sillier to my silly~ So CC has been intimately involved in Savi’s drama over the past few weeks. It kind of matches my own and probably so many others…. Do you marry for true love, for convenience, for yourself, for others? Arranged marriages come in all forms. In India, it’s your parents actively picking … Read More Whose choice is it anyway?

So happy with today’s framing project! I got this painting years ago from a street artist in San Fran. So imagine my heartbreak when the original fell and cracked to pieces. And any paint luvah knows how much the frame means! So after searching high and low with some pretty steep prices, my eyes lit when this just turned up, on a random trip … Read More CrabShell DIY of the day

one of CC’s all time favorites..the how and where I first heard this a few years ago was serendipity..always with me. I only recently heard the remix and its 3X dope. Perfect mix of man and woman. And makes me think of only one man.

CC doesn’t hate the Lakers. Or love the Lakers. I am actually kind of indifferent to them. It’s always been hard to say why I’m such a hater without it coming across as.. “hate”. Then the heavens opened up and gave us Game 4. Life lesson for all? It’s one thing when you’re hot and on top. But the true measure of a person … Read More Foul

Black Movie. Urban Movie. “Ethnic” Movie. The thought, let alone the actual words, stirs up so much drama and controversy. CC doesn’t necessarily care about “mainstream”. No, I am more interested in a steady stream… So the success of movements like ImageNation and Affrm are, well, moving. They prove that while Tyler Perry performs a very useful function in black cinema (longggggggg sip), he … Read More Black Cinema Shines

Sampled these nail polish toppers the other day at one of the super improved (read: overpriced) Duane Reade stores in NYC. They are gorgeous in person giving all mani-divas the opportunity to mix and match base colors and toppers. Gorgeous. Flawless. Masks the mid-week chip.. and worth the pricetag.
