Today, it is the sassy actress against the singing siren! Who will reign supreme in the hair down-to-there realm? Let’s just break down the hair look in all it’s glory so that a winner may be crowned.

This one is going to be a toughie because the hairstyle in question looks great on both beauties. Rihanna chose wear her sleek tresses in a jet black color with some strands tucked behind one ear. Keke on the other hand added a little more dimension thanks to some nicely placed highlights.

It literally came down to one vote over here, but the winner is KeKe Palmer! As much as we love Rihanna has a raven beauty, Palmer’s extra flair put her over the top. Moreover, as one team member of 1966 put it, “Keke’s edges are just laid!”

Take a closer look at both hairstyle versions for yourself:

NFL Player Victor Cruz Stars in Givenchy Fall Winter Ad Campaign3

We were already pumped up for the upcoming NFL season after this past weekend’s football festivities aka NFL Hall Fame Ceremony. However, being the fashion addicts we are seeing football meeting fashion had our style radar way up! NFL superstar Victor Cruz and owner of his own streetwear brand is lending his good looks to Givenchy.

Dang! Uhm… hi Mr. Cruz… 😉

Cruz can be seen in Givenchy’s ad campaign for fall/winter 2015. The suits he wears for the campaign are tailored to absolute perfection. We believe all men should own at least one pinstripe suit in their wardrobe. The style is sophisticated, luxurious and timeless making any man look like an instant classic. If your favorite guy is fighting you on the pinstripe suit tip just tell him it was good enough for The Godfather!

We tip our hats and martinis to Ricardo Tisci for choosing such an influential celebrity in the realm of men’s fashion for the Givenchy campaign. The exquisite ad was lensed by photography legends Marcus Piggot and Mert Atlas. It’s a great look for Givenchy and can’t wait to see more style from Victor Cruz in the future.

Black Women Fitness: Serena Williams Splits Warm Up

Black Women Fitness Serena Williams Splits Warm Up

When we saw these photos our mouths literally dropped to the floor. Yes, we have fitness goals, but Serena shows how to really take things next level! In the pics Williams shows off her extreme flexibility which we are sure is one of the major reasons she dominates on the court. In a caption for the photos Serena even writes, “Proceed with caution.” Oh we will Serena, trust us we will LOL.

Flexibility is one of the most important yet often neglected aspects of fitness. Why is flexibility so important anyway when it comes to having a knockout physique? Here are three reasons why you should not ignore working on being more flexible:

1. Increases blood flow to the muscles.

2. Helps to improve performance in physical activities.

3. Decreases risk of injury since joints are encouraged to move their full range of motion.

So then, flexibility will protect you from needing a doctor after dance class and help you to be a better athlete. Nevertheless, being more limber is not always an easy task. We all have different ranges of flexibility which is why it is good not to compare ourselves to others. However, what are some ways that can help to improve the situation?

  • Warm Up– Never go straight into your workout, warm up first in order to prepare your body for more work. By the time you are done warming up you should be lightly sweating.
  • H20– Drink plenty of water because dehydrated muscles will not stretch to their full range of motion.
  • Be Still-Save static stretches for after your workout and remember not to stretch to the point of pain when holding positions.

There you have it girls some tips to help us all beast like Serena in the athletic department. None of us may win Wimbledon or a Grand Slam but who says we can’t look like we did! Keep up the good work Serena you inspire us to be more fit.

Hair of the Week: Beyonce in NYC July 27th 2015

It seems as though everyone who has visited or been spotted walking the streets of New York City have brought their “A” game. From Brandy to Rihanna starlets have flexed their style power mercilessly for the cameras. The latest diva to shut it down is no other than the queen herself, our Bey.

Beyonce caused a media firestorm when she stepped out in a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. Her curvy physique had those florals blooming in a sexy good way.  Moreover, that hair was whipped child! We loved her voluminous blonde shoulder length wavy strands. Her hair read care-free and fun yet sophisticated.
