Earlier this year I announced the Pretty in Paint Nail Tour. Plans are moving slowly but surely.

Take a cue from some of our favorites and make sure you’re pretty in paint with white nails this season!

I snapped this candid last week of Anchyi Wei at Snob Swap DC. My eyes were drawn to her stylish head piece and ear cuff. So much I had to do some style research for some similar options. Shop below for The Seventh District picks for ear cuffs

District Dapper: Carmelo Anthony + Haute Time

Posted on 05/14/2013 by Nicole

When Carmelo Anthony posted his watch collection on Instagram my mouth dropped! Aside from his job as a basketball superstar who knew he was a watch connoisseur?! I sure didn’t. So much that he’s the co-founder and daily contributor to Haute Time- a luxury watch magazine. Here are 3 of my favorites from his Watch of The Day feature:

Vintage 1945 Tourbillon With Three Gold Bridges by Girard-Perregaux

Pocket Watch Tourbillon GMT Ceramica by Panerai

Gerald Genta Octo Chronographe Quadri-Retro

For the dapper gents looking to add a fly timepiece to their collection I encourage you to check out Chrono24 an international watch market to buy and sell new or pre-owned watches from the top luxury watch brands like: Audemars Piguet, Franck Muller, Hublot, Tag Heuer, Omega and Rolex, (I will own a watch from The Rolex DateJust Collection one day!) If you want to learn more about luxury watches and keep up with Carmelo’s watches of the day there’s an app for that! Download the Haute Time app available on iPhone , iPad and Android.

DC Fab: “Swap in the City”

Posted on 05/10/2013 by Nicole

Last night some D.C. fashion lovers came out to sell, swap, and shop for clothing and accessories that make heads turn at SnobSwap, held at D.C.’s new tech hub, 1776. Of course with the horrible traffic, coupled with rain I was more than fashionably late, but I did manage to snap a few flicks.

Check out the rest of my pics and recap from the fashion event over at The Fab Empire.

I Want Her Hair: Ciara

Posted on 05/09/2013 by Nicole

Yesterday, R&B singer Ciara posted some flicks of her new hair cut on Instagram. Her fierce, new look immediately made me want to cut and color my hair! I absolutely love it! So much that I had to re-post to my account. A few friends said this would be a good hairstyle for me to try. I’m reconsidering if I want to continue to grow my hair out.
