LIFE: Target Hosts An Intimate Dinner for Guest Editors with Greg Cunningham – Vashtie, June Ambrose, Harley Viera Newton and Jenne Lombardo

My GUEST EDITING for TARGET has been so surreal. I mean, a brand like TARGET (let alone TARGET), working with little me comes as a super shock. I know I am liked and respected by my peers, but…this is next level. Things like THIS never happen to people like me…or so I thought. I spent most of my life being so anti, partially because after being bullied and excluded I never thought I would be “included”.  So, after creating a life and career of being myself…I’m actually liked for it and thus included. Go figure!

Suddenly…I had this sense of a major secret bubbling inside me, an epiphany that I wanted to shout at everyone like the crazy guy that sits on my stoop every now and again during Summer…

I am a kid, born to working class Trinidadian immigrant parents with no fame nor a drop of fortune in my lineage – if I can do this…YOU CAN TOO. Literally.

The dinner hosted by Target was divine. Four Guest Editors were honored that evening at Super Linda in Tribeca – June Ambrose, Harley Viera Newton, Jenne Lombardo and Myself.

I wore some super cute pieces from Target that I had my eyes on since styling their Tumblr

The Blazer : The Webster at Target® Stretch Sateen Jacket – Melon – $49.99

The Shoes: Women’s Xhilaration® Silverleaf Print Wedge – $29.99

Tank Top, Vintage Chanel Bag and Vintage High Waisted Shorts my own

SUPER LINDA is the new hot spot…I was stoked to see what they had on the menu.

Spicy Ritas…
