We are absolutely in love with this editorial of model, Aleah Morgan for the January Issue of ELLE magazine. She’s causal yet glamorous walking the busy city streets of New York City. The editorial is entitled, “Welcome to New York” and was photographed by Laurie Bartley.
There are no words for tonight’s beauty who hails from our very place of residence Los Angeles, California. Shayla is a makeup artist who BEATS a face into flawless submission. Her celebrity clients include Real Housewives of Atlanta mega stars Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams.
Tonight is unprecedented because we will normally narrow it down to two makeup looks, but tonight we simply could not do it. We dialed up Shayla on the beauty hotline and fell in love with four looks that included bold lip colors, contouring, full eyebrows and exquisite eyeliner. We know you will agree that this call should of been even longer than four photos; however, all good things must come to an end. Keep up with this beauty and learn a trick or two thanks to Shayla’s YouTube channel.

Congratulations to the gorgeous Brittany Hampton on becoming DVF’s new global brand ambassador! Brittany will travel the world to bring a younger influence to the iconic fashion brand. Diane mentioned that Brittany had made a good first impression and had to draw back in order to not show bias. However, Hampton’s skill set as well as drive put her over the top of the other candidates and competition.

Supermodel Joan Smalls slays whether in front of a camera and lights or stomping down a runway. This month Joan shows that her modeling skills are no small potatoes by posing to the death for an editorial for Vogue Japan. Smalls is slinging snowboards as well as pink, red and blue braided ponytails all while in fringe knee-high boots, fur as well as leopard print attire.
We have said it once and will continue to preach how wonderful it is to see color being utilized in fashion during winter. Of course the usual couture forecast during this season involves darker, drab shades so it is refreshing to see vibrancy in this editorial. Take notes and remember just because it’s cloudy and dark outside doesn’t mean it has to take all the fun out of your personal style. Be bold, be you and always have fun.
We are crowning our weekly hair goddess and hands down it is Rihanna! We loved her super sleek side-swept ponytail that had length for days. Side Note: As our previous post mentioned Rihanna slayed in a gown by Zac Posen but can we also give it up one time for the necklace? Riri’s gleaming accessory came courtesy of Chopard jewelry.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane oh no ladies it’s RiRi in Zac Posen looking like a million dollars at an event with a very good cause. Rihanna and The Clara Lionel Foundation presented The Inaugural Diamond Ball with Brad Pitt as the event’s MC. The star-studded event even included musical performances by Big Sean and the lady of the night, Rihanna.
Rihanna later performed in a gorgeous intricately designed black gown.
We noticed a few trends on the red carpet for this year’s American Music Awards, but one trend stood out and seemed to match the event’s glitzy vibe. The AMAs red carpet at Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, was raided with shimmery couture looks that were full of Hollywood razzle dazzle. Singer/actresses Zendaya Coleman and Jordin Sparks both showed off daring, sparkling attire as well as extra skin.
Spark’s bronzed gown included a plunging neckline while Zendaya’s over-sized gold ensemble (pants and trench are Georgine Spring 2015) revealed a blue midriff baring top. The looks definitely grabbed the attention of onlookers and the event’s television viewers. What do you think of shimmery couture, is it a “Do” or a “Don’t?
Zendaya Coleman came to yesterday’s American Music Awards with her mane as the main attraction! Coleman’s voluminous sassy waves were a very fresh look for the singer. We are used to seeing Zendaya with super sleek locks so this change was differently a transformation which we absolutely loved.
Zendaya’s hair for days waves is our Hair of the Week pick…do you agree?
The ageless and forever stunningly gorgeous Garcelle Beauvais shut down the red carpet in a snug red-hot gown accompanied with metallic heels. We also peeped a cool super dark manicure being worn by the stylish actress. Guess it’s time to bring out the goth in the nail department!
Hair Notes: We are fanatics for wavy locks and Beauvais’ shoulder-length tresses looked beautiful. Get the look by fashioning braids on damp hair after shampooing and conditioning. Once completely dry, carefully undo the braids and finger comb to style your wavy look. Add shine by spritzing your strands with a light hair oil.
