Art lover and music phenomenon Beyoncé was spotted in attendance at an art show in Los Angeles, California. Wes Lang’s The Longest Night Of The Year art show was held at Hollywood’s Milk Studios. Queen Bey was not alone, her hubby Jay-Z was closely at her side observing various pieces. Bey brought back the high, long braid style that always makes us want to see her swing it! Fun hair is always cool with us which why we couldn’t keep ourselves from crushing.
Oh! One last thing before we go, if you have ever wanted to dress just like Beyoncé well now is your chance! Of course, we know that Bey wears some pretty expensive garb due to her designer good tastes. However, feast your eyes on those stylish round frame shades by Australia eye-wear brand– Quay. Get your own pair now because they are only $48! So splurge a little, rock a braid and get your Beyoncé on!
And yep, Jay was there too!

We always love looking into international style because every area or region has an unique flavor. For instance, in London Alesha Dixon was seen arriving at the BBC RADIO 2 studio looking relaxed chic. Dixon wore a white tank, ripped denim pants, gold accessories, ankle boot heels and a killer hat.
As mentioned earlier this week distressed jeans are a simple way to add a little attitude or edge to your look. Keep things tamed by wearing very neutral and conservative pieces along with your emboldened denim. This will allow the pants to have more of the spotlight than having to compete with other loud fashions.

If you were to take a poll you would find that most women are not born feeling naturally self confident and reassured of their greatness. This fact is not surprising when a serious examination of the times is taken into account. We live among a media storm of imagery and verbiage that mainly thrusts the external beauty of a woman into the forefront. Nevertheless, true confidence will only take shape if the inner person, who we are inwardly is beautiful. Confidence radiants from the inside out not vice versa.
The term “queen” seems to denote different things to different people when used to describe a woman’s demeanor. Most agree that it normally encompasses a woman that is emotionally strong, confident and oozes a certain power or Je ne sais quoi over all. She is not a push-over because she knows her worth and will not allow anyone to diminish it. If someone tries to pull some “bull” it is not tolerated and she will even speak her mind tactfully to show she does not care for the mistreatment. How can a woman transform into such a queen?
1. Let Go of the Past– This is probably one of the toughest things on this planet to do, but your mind and heart will surely thank you. Unlike in the movies there is no time machine, potion or personage that can change the past. What has happened has simply happened and we must be accepting of all former dealings. Focusing on such things as past mistakes or something not working out the way we wanted does not help to produce better vibes. In the film Baggage Claim Paula Patton’s character is told by a close friend, “Same actions, same outcomes…new actions, new outcomes.” Therefore, accept the past and learn from it so that you do things differently in the future for your betterment.
2. Tell Yourself Your Amazing– Shout it out ladies! Reciting a positive mantra daily or simply saying in your mind that you are wonderful can have a serious effect on your mindset. As the saying goes if you think it you can achieve it. If you WANT to feel great and WANT to have a better life it is possible to think yourself there.
3. Think Positively– Since we are on the subject of positive thinking you will be happy to know that psychologists even confirm that if a person thinks positively on anything it is more likely to end with a positive result. As crazy as it may seem, how we think is conducive to how things work out for us. If you have the right mindset your actions will suddenly work towards a favorable and positive outcome. So then, put the odds in your favor by remaining optimistic.
4. Speak Up– Never allow anyone to get away with saying or doing something that is wrong. However, this does not mean yelling, screaming or any sort of retaliation. Be mature about the situation and calmly say that you do not like what was said or done. Always be graceful and do not let anyone allow you to lose your cool because once you lose it that person then gains your power in the situation. They have won by getting you to act in a manner that goes against your true character. Some people live to see others upset and still others are sadly just not aware of all the problems they are causing. Nevertheless, the only way to get what you want and maintain happiness is to speak up. Speak up in all things whether its school, work, friends, family, relationships or social situations. Let yourself be heard because no great queen throughout history was ever silent.
Okay for those you don’t know here is a quick rundown on this super cool couple. They are UK based and Rochelle is the host of several shows including Ninja Warrior Uk, radio co-host on KISS FM and the Xtra Factor, a new spin-off of the wildly popular show The X Factor created by music genius Simon Cowell. Rochelle’s hubby Marvin is a former singer of the male group JLS who back in 2008 came in second overall on X Factor. After the show ended the group was signed to Epic Records and their first two singles both went to number one of the UK Singles Chart. Moreover, their first LP went on to go platinum and as of 2012 JLS’ debut single as well as album has been named one of the X Factor’s top 10 biggest-selling singles and albums.
Now that you are in the know let’s finally talk a little fashion! Rochelle and Marvin were spotted looking fabulous with Marvin in a leather jacket, pants as well as white tee and Rochelle in a chic pinstriped dress. When dressing as a couple it’s best not to wear ensembles that clash or compete with each other. The whole idea is to complement one another so that both fashion looks together seem seamless.

Reality starlet, actress and Broadway It Girl NeNe Leakes is showing why she is one of Atlanta’s baddest. NeNe rocked a brand new look this week which has deviated from her short hair cuts that she has worn for several years now. NeNe was one of the many celebrities in attendance for the amFar gala which was held in New York. Leakes wore a shimmery black dress, strappy heels and a new sassy hairdo’!
Leakes kept the blonde hair color but is now wearing long wavy hair with a side part. We think the hairstyle looks absolutely fab on NeNe and you can tell that she is feeling it! What prompted the change? Well, who can forget during last season’s escapades where a fellow RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) cast member contrasted Leakes tresses to that of a pack of ramen. Definitely a low blow filled with buckets of shade.
Nevertheless, NeNe is not one to let any woman’s opinion deter her so the change was because she simply wanted it! We always say to rock a style not according to what the masses say but because it is a personal choice. So then, what do you think of NeNe’s new hair look, are you feeling it?
We loved RiRi’s entire ensemble from head-to-toe which included boots, “stunna” shades, handbag and a fab denim dress! Rihanna was in attendance for the Christian Dior Fall 2015 Tokyo Show. The singer even took a moment to snap a quick shot with the CEO of Dior, Sidney Toledano.
Hair Notes: Rihanna has never shied away from taking risks when it comes to her fashion choices or numerous hairstyles. Rihanna’s fiery red locks looked gorgeous styled into vintage waves and a deep side part. Looks like old Hollywood glam made its way across the pond to trendy Tokyo!
Like those boots that Rihanna is rocking? Those shoes are from the Dior Resort 2016 collection.

Nothing brings out the celebrities like a good party and fashion show! We spotted several fashionable starlets at the 2015 amFAR Inspiration Gala Fashion Show held in New York. What seemed to be the fashion statements of the big night? Sparkle, stripes, florals and slightly sheer details were the couture highlights. Here are few red carpet looks ranging from R&b/Pop singers to world renown supermodels!

Actress Aimiomode Anetor shut the red carpet down when she attended the screening for the film Incorruptible. This documentary examples the role that youths are playing in shaping the future of the country of Africa. Back in 2011 Senegal was pitched into crisis when President Abodoulaye Wade announced his plans to change the constitution which would allow leaders to have a third term. From this decision onward a youth movement was born in order to protect one of Africa’s oldest and stable democracies.
For the screening Anetor walked the carpet in an all white ensemble that showed off her beautiful skin tone. Just as gorgeous was her voluminous wavy strands that gracefully fell past her shoulders. Whether hitting a beach in the Caribbean or a swanky pool party Aimiomode’s hairstyle would be perfect.
