June 27, 2013 In Fashion Shows By tamia

Red, Pink and Blue 2013 is Friday!

If you’re free tomorrow evening, you might want to do yourself a favor and check out Red, Pink and Blue, Cincy Chic’s annual party and fashion show on the Purple People Bridge benefiting heart, breast and diabetes health. If I recall correctly (and I think the internets can back me up on this), the first Red, Pink and Blue event was one of the first fashion shows I blogged about back in 2009. Have I

Current Obsession: Ankle-strapped Flat Sandals

I do a fair amount of running around at the new gig, which means the usual rotation of 4-inch stilettos ain't cuttin' it. Enter the solution: flat sandals with ankle straps. Flat for obvious reasons, sandals so my toes can breathe, and ankle straps because they help keep my shoes on my feet (seriously, I have problems with this) and make my legs look slightly less chicken-like. Yeah, I have problems with that too. Sandals from

I Got a New Attituuuude!

About a year ago, I sat down and thought about what I really wanted to do with my life career-wise.

Projects: Pale As a Ghost Sign

More work finally coming to fruition! In "Pale as a Ghost Sign", I once again dug into local history to learn about the stories behind the fading painted signs found on brick walls scattered around downtown and OTR. Sifting through old city directories and chatting with sign experts and enthusiasts was a hella fun exercise in research nerdery, and I invite you to check it out (on the cover!) in the April 3rd issue of

Photo Diary: On Instagram Straight Flexin’

So I know I just took another unexpected hiatus, but it was for good reason, I promise: I finally took a break from errythang and went on a trip to Miami and Key West! I hung out on South Beach, did some shopping, relaxed on the beach, enjoyed yummy banana daiquiris by the pool, took a leisurely bike ride around the island, explored botanical gardens, and ate everything in sight--in short, it was an awesome
