Fashion Trend: Neon Nail Polish.


neon-nail-polish-trend

Brighten up your world with neon nail polish! Neon nails were popular back in the 80s and have returned to color our world. When wearing bright nails it is best to keep your nails short and squared off. The pointy nail has become pretty popular but its something I am not a fan of. Some nail colors don't look good on all skin colors so take your complexion into consideration. For lighter skin tones go for green and purple shades. And for a darker skin tone try orange and pink. Be funky and show off this bold summer trend.

Get top notch hair! Our favorite fashion bloggers wear top knots for a simple but edgy hairstyle perfect for all occasions—and bad hair days.

Tall hair buns are scholarly chic when paired with smart oxford flats, a leather school bag, and a pleated uniform skirt.

Get romantic with a long cardigan and a lacy dress. You can look prim and proper on the worst hair day, since the top knot works with any type of hair.

Introducing Doughpe Clothing



Introducing a new T-Shirt Line.. Pronounced "Dope", Doughpe Clothing. The clothing line was created by 4 Florida State University undergrads : Toni Hinds, Paul Shelton, Chris Singleton and Alexander Joshua Yawn. Side Note: Chris Singleton was recently drafted to the Washington Wizards. The clothing line carries both male and female tops. It consists of a series of tees and crop tops that play off Toy Story, Krispy Kreme, Chik Fil A and more. The college students created affordable fashion with a price of $20 per t-shirt.





I told you guys that crop tops were trending! I have my eye on that black YUM Crop Top!

Fashion Trend: Crop Tops.

trending-tuesdays


The best way to wear a crop top is to show a hint of skin and not bare it all. Try wearing a high-waist skirt or pants with these tiny tops to keep a bit of sophistication within the outfit. You can even layer the crop tops over a lace tank top. The best thing about crop tops is that designers are making them in so many different materials so they can be worn for a dressy event or on any casual day. How would you wear a crop top?

Trey Songz Holds “Angels With Hearts” Benefit at the Moet Lounge in Setai Penthouse Miami Beach

On Thursday I had the chance to attend the Rose Lounge at a private penthouse on South Beach. Only a selected few were invited to this exclusive event in which the 400 team was selected to attend. I must say this spot is amazingly beautiful! It was all the way at the top with a patio that oversees the city of Miami.

We were greeted at the door with models handing us champagne glasses of Moet. There were delicious Hors d'oeuvres being passed out and a plethora of Moet that was continually filling the glass. With the overflow of champagne and DJ Ruckus spinning the best of EVERYTHING me and my girls definitely enjoyed ourselves.

It was a celebration as Moet donated to Trey Songz Angels With Hearts charity. Trey hosted the event and brought along his very young and beautiful mother to introduce the charity and toast with party-goers. Angels with Heart was founded in 2010 by Trigga to give back through random acts of kindness by donating time and efforts to the community. Will Smith stopped by to show some support.

Who Was Best Dressed at the "Basketball Wives" Reunion?



We have all become fans of the dramatic reality TV Show Basketball Wives in which the reunion show aired on Monday. There was no water throwing this time but still the usual yelling and bitchy attitudes. On to fashion.. I must say all the girls looked fabulous.. but the question is who do YOU think was the best dressed and finally... who is the Non-Mothaf*ckin' factor??


Suzie: Petal Alexandria Herve Leger dress and a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.


Tami: An ivory satin dress with brick red pumps with ankle buckle adjustments.


Royce: Herve Leger replica dress and silver T-strap heels.


Shaunie: Custom made dress by designer Nicci Hou and pink studded sandal heels.


Meeka: The non-factor dress... lol jk. a one sleeve ruched black dress and black caged heels.


Evelyn: “Bridgette” Herve Leger dress and blue Christian Louboutin Daffodile Watersnake pumps.


Jennifer: Carolina Fringe Herve Leger dress and a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.


Question... does Christian Louboutin and Herve Leger sponsor the show...??

Fashion Trend: Hot Pink.


hot-pink-fashion-trend


This season. get tickled with pink and liven up your wardobe. Even though hot pink is the "it" color this season, it does not mean this shocking color can be pulled off by everyone. If you are one of those people that do not look good in any shade of pink, try using pink accessories and fuse other colors in your outfit.
