Don’t wear your hair like that. Those look unprofessional. Braids can never be classy. Sound familiar?

However, Allure magazine is diving into a different mindset and space. One where people can try to open and stretch their thoughts or opinions to see not only the beauty, but versatility of curls, waves, coils and kinks.

This week Allure excitedly revealed their upcoming March 2018 edition and shared a fitting quote. The magazine says,

“Presenting our March 2018 issue, The Culture of Hair, starring Lupita Nyong’o. In addition to talking to Nyong’o about her relationship with her hair; we also gave her and hairstylist, Vernon Francois total freedom over her looks.

‘Lupita and I wanted to show that coily or kinky hair has many strengths and can be worn in lots of different ways. [Thus] celebrating its beauty and versatility.’ says Francois.”

In a career spanning decades, Mary is still on top and setting records. For instance, she is making Oscar history as the first person (male or female) to be nominated for Best Original Song as well as Best Supporting Actress. In view of this and many other accomplishments NY Mag sat down with the starlet in order to see how she feels about all of this star power as well as herself in general currently. The issue reveals,

Mary J Blige it’s up for an Academy award for the betrayal of someone so different from the other character she spent 25 years creating and in a way; hiding inside: the bling armored, blonde wig, Grammy laden ‘queen of hip-hop soul.”I learned that I’m a really powerful woman. I mean, other than just being Mary J Blige, the superstar, I learned that I’m powerful because I don’t have to say much to be heard.”

Sounds like the words of a woman who not only knows her talents, but her true worth. Check out the rest of Mary’s interview inside New York Magazine.

Spotted: Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 1, 2018February 1, 2018Leave a Comment

We love a good dose of street style fashion. Plus, add in a supermodel and the dividends are even sweeter! Models in the industry are known for having access to the hottest trends and must-have couture items; thus, aiding in the seasonal trends frenzy. Joan Smalls is already giving a preview of a spring handbag to add to our wardrobes. Check it out, we spotted Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag!

Spotted: Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag

Literally, everyone is wearing MCM right now! If you are an “It Girl” this brand will claim you. We have seen the fashion label on the “flawless ” Beyoncé as well as fellow model, Winnie Harlow. Queen Bey rocked the brand’s MCM Berlin Crossbody from their Autumn/Winter 2016 collection. While Miss Harlow sported the Millie Crossbody while being photographed on the streets of London, England.

So what about Joan’s handbag? Smalls hit the town with the MCM Trisha Bag. The bag is from MCM’s Viva Life collection that is apart of the Spring/Summer 2018 line.

Nevertheless, all these stylish ladies are bringing a huge spring 2018 accessories trend to the fore… the small handbag. While oversized can be great for transportating our entire lives around, it’s smaller bags that will rule the day. The great thing is that smaller bags can be toted without feeling loaded down. Thus, making them awesome for traveling, at events or daily errands. So then, go ahead and give the small bags some love this spring season!
