Still Lovin Riri "The only girl in the world"

I am still hopelessly in love with RIHANNA. I love her coz she is my age and is FEARLESS. I cant explain it but I simply adore Riri and I always will-cheesy songs, crazy haircuts and all!

Riri has reavealed the cover of her upcoming album "LOUD", Im loving the red hair even though I liked it better when it was short. I like how she says this album is not like "Good Girl Gone Bad" or "Rated R" but simply just another step in the evolution of Rihanna. Go to rihannanow.com and listen to her banging new single Only Girl (In The World).

Minaj covers OUT

I stumbled across these pics on http://www.necolebitchie.com/ and I thought they were so cool. Nikki Minaj is on the cover of gay magazine OUT and the pics from the shoot are uber!

On If there Are Gay Rappers in Hip Hop
“I think there have been many gay rappers, they just haven’t come out of the closet,” Minaj says slyly. “Yup, lots of them. They’re lurking around the industry now. Obviously, the majority of the men in hip-hop don’t want you to think they’re gay. That’s just the reality of it. I’m a woman, so I have a lot more flexibility. And I don’t lose credibility in any way if I say I think girls are dope and sexy.”

So-Solange

Lately, one can't help but do a double take every time I see a picture of Solange Knowles. She is really coming into her own and has a glow about her that would make pregnant women jealous,lol!

Her style has also evolved and she's shed her weave for a more natural afro. Solange is giving B a run for her money-everywhere she goes people are talking about So-Solange.

I've been stalking her lately and stumbled across her blog simply titled "My Damn Blog" (very cheeky). The blog is filled with pics of her latest projects, her cute son, and her friends (the likes of Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu). It looks like something out of a seventies movie, she does mention in an interview with Fash Iz Blk (hope that's the right spelling) mag that that's where her style and music is headed.

Her son is soooo cute!

Her and the Arch Android Janelle Monae

Chilling with Miss Erykah Badu

In her Fash Iz Blk interview, which she also covers she talks about how right after she got married at a young age, she tried so hard to be a good wife and lost a bit of herself during the process. She talks about how she even forgot what having a sense of style is. I guess she's making up for lost time. She looks great and I can't wait for her next album to come out.

I love the mix of prints and ethnic textures in the shoot.

Nuff Said...

Fresh out the oven: Pastry wedges

I love the Pastry brand by Vanessa and Angela Simmons. I was pleasantly suprised to see that their new range not only comes out with training inspired sneakers, glam heels, a kiddies range  inspired by their baby sis Miley but also wedges!

The Pastry brand has really come full circle- what started out as just a sneaker brand for hip young urban girls has now become a lifestyle brand with all kinds of shoes, clothes and accessories.

now back to wedges- I am completley obssessed with wedges and that is why I fell in love when I saw the Pastry wedge, awww someone please buy these for me!!!

Ok these blue ones are my absolute fave! My birthday is the 1st of November-yall have plenty of time to hook a sister up.wink wink  ;)

for more of their new collection go to http://www.lovepastry.com/

Anyways, I spotted a  pair of wedges at Monsieur Price and I thought they were really cute. here are my Mr Price "Pastry" inspired wedges:

Yeah i know cute toes!lol

Thank you Mr Price for making broke fashion lovers dreams come true by making stylish affordable clothing. Thank you to the Simmons girls for making delicous pastries wearable! XOXO

Cropped Tops in summer? HELL NO!

 As we all know it's summer in other parts of the world and our foreign counterparts are always a season ahead when it comes to fashion.

I was stunned when I saw some celebrities sporting cropped shirts, apparently it's a staple for summer and obviously once season's change here, they'll be hitting our shores. (ive already seen some odd replica's at Mr Price.) Suddenly am not looking forward to summer...

I really dont think sooo...

Kelly's version is not too bad, it's the whole showing my not so flat belly to the world idea that im not comfortable with.

um yeah B...Neways, dont know if yall have noticed B's new Charlie Chaplin/Hippie look. It seems like she's experimenting with a less flashy look and going for indie,I dont know but just browse through her recent pics and see what I mean. It's just not her though, she's all glam and that's where she should be. I think she's intimidated by Solange's new look that has everyone less focused on B but on S for a change. Good for you Solange finally, shaving your hair has bought you a ticket out of your sister's shadow.

Im really not keen on this look. I know some people are gonna are pull it off and some definatley WONT. If you want to try this new look here are a few tips from me:

• 
  
  If you know that you have a lil extra meat around the belly area, rather wear highwaisted jeans/pants/skirt to balance the shape of you body just like Kelly.
• 
  
  If you know your over the age of 25, are not in college anymore, do not work in the entertainment or media industry rather not wear this unless you're going out for a picnic(with your family).
• 
  
  avoid wearing a cropped top with a skirt that's short-try not showing too many things at once.
• 
  
  lastly, you really dont need cut your fave top just to follow a stupid trend. Be a trendsetter and create your own stupid trend.

Oh um all these pics were taken from http://www.bet.com/ i do not in any way take credit for these.

New Post, New Look!

I asked a good friend of mine, who's also a graphic designer to design a logo for my blog. He's name is Lethabo Hlahatsi and he did a great job in capturing the look of the blog, so with the new logo he told me i might as well change the look of the whole blog. So I changed the template, layout and colours and everything sort of goes well together. I did OD on the pink though,lol!

Lethabo designed two logos for me, one with the URL and one with just the title of the blog:

If you want to see more of his work check out Lethabo Hlahatsi on Facebook, Thanks again!

Anyways, Ive decided that I really need to start looking the part if I really want to be taken seriously as a fashinionista so I really need to start making an effort with my wardrobe. Hopefully the little things like blogs,logos and all will help me turn my passion into my career.

XOXO Lee
