Bang Bang!

Is that a gun in your bag or…

The gun embroidered bag surfaced in 2012. Designers Vlieger & Vandam designed this edgy bag that’ll get you in trouble if you are in the wrong side of town.  I love everything about this bag and it is currently still a hot item on the Vliegar & Vandam website.  Retailing at $269, find the cheaper option Here for just $25.00!

Natural Hair Celebrities

This past weekend I had a huge photo-shoot to highlight natural hair. There is something very empowering about a woman who is in her natural state. What’s even more empowering is when a celebrity rocks their natural hair while in the spotlight. There is a lot of pressure when it comes to being a celebrity. Between people telling you how you should look, what your weight should be and what product you should become, it could be difficult to show your natural self. Still, some celebrities make it their duty to flaunt what the Good Lord gave them. Take a look at some of my all-time favorite natural beauties.

Socks x Sandals

This new trend takes me back to school girl days when my mom would dress me with white socks and sandals. Fast forward to 2014, the socks and sandals look is more of a sexy look. Celebrities like Rihanna rocked the trend a few years back and more recently, Beyonce was caught rocking the trend. It is a look that has hit the fashion scene and I am excited!

Boyfriend jeans

Rihanna

Boyfriend jeans are probably the most amazingly comfortable pair of jeans you can wear. When this trend began, I was so happy because now there is a way to look sexy and be completely comfortable. Pair them with a crop top, white tee, tank top, blazer or button-up shirt and a pair of single sole shoes/sandals, and you’re good to go! Take a look at some of my favorite celebs rocking the trend!
