RVA Fashion Week
Wow, its been a minute since I've blogged, thanks to all my faithful readers who continued to follow and come to my site week after week! I felt uninspired for a while as far as blogging is concerned, so I've been putting my time and energy into other aspects of my life. However, with the warm weather at our heels and Summer knocking at our doors I'm feeling more and more inspired, and what better event to pull me out of my blogging rut than RVAFW. If you've been a follower of BarclayINC for the past few years, you'll know that I've attending RVA Fashion Week the past 4 years! I feel like the fashion and art scene has really grown in RVA, I'm noticing more and more bloggers sprouting up in my city, there's tons of dope musicians, and just an overall growth of creative individuals flourishing! You can catch me Sunday at the Dress for Success 4th annual Recycled Fashion Show- Untailored Elegance which will be held at Diversity Community Center.

A Few Local Restaurants on my Radar
Here in RVA we love to eat; between the numerous food festivals that we have throughout the year and all the local restaurants this city is truly a Foodie's dream! I'm all about being a tourist in my own city, there's so much history and culture to explore here in Richmond and why not start with some good eats. This Summer come along with me as I explore some local hot spots! With there being so many restaurants to choose from its going to be hard to figure out where to start, but a couple that I have on my radar are The Savory Grain, Casa Del Barco, The Daily Kitchen and Bar, and Millie's Diner. Stay tuned to BarclayINC as I recap my experiences at these local hot spots. From comfort food to Sunday brunch, Richmond really does offer a wide variety of eateries for locals. For all my RVA folks what are your favorite local eats?

Twist and Talk
Event alert for all my fellow naturals- mark your calendars for July 13th for the Summer edition of Twist and Talk- a hands on twist class .Twist and Talk is a class taught by Lenise Robinson a stylist at Canvas the Salon. The event will take place at 6:30 pm- the salon is located on Clay Street in the heart of the city (more dets. below). We all know how hard it can be to find styles that work on natural hair textures during the warm Summer months, so what better way to learn then to attend a class that will focus on protective styling, techniques, products, and hair maintenance. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for Children. Yours truly will be a hair model, Lenise will be demonstrating her twisting technique on my tresses, so I'm super excited to not only be attending but being a hair model as well! If you've been following my blog for a while you know that my staple style is a blow-out, I love a good full blow-out! I don't wear my hair in its natural state nearly as much as I wear it straightened so I'm excited to be getting twisted up! Hoping to meet some of my readers there, so if you plan on attending drop me a line below!

Summer Slides
This Summer I swear its all about the slide; as much as I love a great 70's- esq inspired platform and chunky heel- I must say I am really diggin' slides this Summer. After seeing them just about everywhere from magazines, to my fav go-to bloggers, I decided to take a trip to Forever21 (as they have an amazing Summer sandal collection this year) and not to disappoint they had tons of great slides. I ended up snatching up a super cute gold pair, I could've easily bought them in every color but I didn't want to get carried away, I hate impulse shopping! So, I'll see how I feel by weeks end and may make another trip to Forever21, and add a few more pair to my Summer sandal collection. For under $20 bucks you really cant beat it! FYI if you're shopping online I would say go up at least a half size I typically wear a 7 1/2 and had to get my sandals in an 8. Ladies, what sandals will you be adding to your collections this summer?
Faux Leather Crisscross Sandals
$24.90
Nailhead Faux Leather Sandals
$24.90
Added these Metallic Crisscross Slides to my collection
$17.90
