Darkyonce -The Fierce Beyoncé Hair Color We LOVE!

Darkyonce

The return of Darkyonce was everything we wanted, hoped for and dreamt of. Yes, Beyoncé is a beautiful woman, but we would be completely lying if we said we didn’t love her with darker toned hair.

For a couple of decades now, Bey has become known for several signature things…observe:

Darkyonce

hard dancing,

Darkyonce
a leotard,

Darkyonce
vocals

Darkyonce
and of course, blonde tresses.

In the hairstyle department… It doesn’t matter if her strands have been short, long, curly or straight. The constant of her look has consistently been to be a blonde.

However, it’s not a bad thing in any way. It’s a look Mrs. Carter has effortlessly maintained through multiple albums, tours, pregnancies and award seasons. Plus, heck, don’t blondes have more fun? (We’ll answer that, at times yes lol).

And fun she has definitely had with her looks. The queen always seems to dance to the beat of her own drum when it comes to her personal style and flair.

Darkyonce -The Fierce Beyoncé Hair Color We LOVE!

So then, where did the return of dark hair Beyoncé occur? The singer and her hip hop mogul husband, Jay Z, were spotted at a Houston Rockets game. The couple sat court side catching plenty of fan and camera attention.

Darkyonce

Beyoncé wore an eye-popping ensemble by Marine Serre. Instantly, her “moon” printed leggings became a couture hot topic. While most of us rock a pair between $20-$50; Queen Bey did it up! She hit the scene in the Marine Serre Women’s Moon-Print Footed Leggings in Black which retails for… wait for it… $515.

Darkyonce

Yes, that was just the price of the Queen’s leggings. Oh us peasants (Lol). Nevertheless, if it’s been a good month and you’d like to splurge on Beyoncé’s leggings you can find them online at Barney’s New York.

Darkyonce

However, we digress. This posting is supposed to be about hair. You see, we love Beyoncé with darker hair because it we believe it brings out her beautiful features. Her eyes, cheeks and skin tone just seem to pop more.

We’re glad she brought it back after a long dark hair sighting drought. How long she’ll keep it remains to be seen. Nonetheless, it’s a great look that can’t be ignored. Welcome back Darkyonce we missed you!

Office Slippers -The 1st Slippers Worn That Can Be Worn to the Office

Office Slippers

Thank you Office GAWDS (Lol)! If you thought Causal Friday was cool, just wait till you get a load of this. Office Slippers… yes, a first-of-its-kind shoe design bringing the comfort of home to your feet and corporate desk. Welcome to a new era.

Office Slippers -The 1st Slippers Worn That Can Be Worn to the Office

Office Slippers

Office Slippers, an innovative start-up company, has created the first ever slipper made especially for the office. The company has designed slippers that look like every day dress shoes, allowing individuals to wear them at work. Office Slippers provides maximum comfort throughout the workday, but never look out of place at the office.

“Nowadays, entering the workforce typically means conforming to other employees and being uncomfortable while doing your job,” Mike McLaughlin, Office Slippers founder, said. “If you’re going to conform, at least you can be comfortable now. Office Slippers allows people the best of both worlds.”

Not all heroes wear capes, but McLaughlin might as well be wearing one for this awesome invention! McLaughlin will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on Tuesday, March 12th to raise funds for Office Slippers. The campaign seeks to raise $20,000 for the initial production; manufacturing, and distribution of their debut model, the Ashland.

This suede model is based on a Chelsea Boot and comes in three colors: black, navy, and brown. The slipper components include a memory foam sole; dense plush inner lining, and a nonskid rubber outer sole.

Office Slippers -The 1st Slippers Worn That Can Be Worn to the Office (Continued)

Office Slippers

The Kickstarter campaign will run until Thursday, April 11th. Backers can fund the project with any amount of money they’d like; but a pair of Office Slippers begins at the $55 mark with exclusive early pricing. In addition, McLaughlin will speak with certain backers to get their feedback on the company.

“We know that it’s a great idea, but this is the big moment. If we’re funded, we’re excited to see the ways in which we can transform offices. If not, at least we learned some good lessons along the way,” McLaughlin said. “We hope to attract as many people as possible. We’ve got some really exciting incentives lined up for early backers, including grabbing these at a discount.”

For more information on Office Slippers, please visit https://officeslippersonline.com.

Once launched, the campaign will be found via McLaughlin’s Kickstarter page at https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/officeslippers
