Hot shoe game alert! First, it was Olympian Allyson Felix and now sultry Ciara is burning up the streets with her Air Force Ones. Ciara killed the footwear competition by sliding on a pair of Riccardo Tisci designed AF1s. In regards to the collection Tisci said,

“It was not work. It was a celebration — a celebration of life in the sense of a celebration of something. I believe it, I wear it, and I love and I respect it…”

Well, we totally agree you have to respect what this collection is bringing to the table. Sneakers have been re-imagined with a true high fashion meets street vibe. Lace up with a pair of these bad boys for around $350.

Hair Spotlight- Gugu Mbatha-Raw Cute Natural for ‘Beyond The Lights’ Premiere

Arianne Suggs September 10, 2014September 10, 2014Leave a Comment

She’s already played a Belle on the big screen and now the gorgeous Gugu Mbatha-Raw has completely owned her former character’s name on the red carpet! Gugu’s pulled back natural curly hairstyle included a deep side part (a trend for fall, be sure to get our October issue to learn more). However, it wasn’t just her hair that we took notice of, Mbatha-Raw wore a stunning flowing printed spring 2014 Delpozo gown. We felt the floral prints reminding us of the goodness and beauty of nature as well as Gugu’s natural hair look complimented each other perfectly. A great hair choice for a chic and fresh gown.

IT’S KICKOFF TIME!!!

Written By Serena H

Yes! The regular football season kicks off this Thursday, September 4 and it’s about dang time. The first week is always exciting because every team is undefeated and filled with optimism. By next Monday, however, there will be some teams that we just know are going to be crappy the rest of the year (looking at you Buffalo Bills) and some teams that we know will be scary good (yes I’m talking about the New England Patriots). Whatever the case may be, 16 teams will be winners and 16 teams will have goose eggs in the L column.

There are plenty of intriguing match-ups to look forward to in week one. If the Atlanta Falcons can rebound from their dismal performance last year, I think their game versus the Saints should be a good one. The Saints defense improved greatly last year when they brought in Rob Ryan as the D coordinator. We’ll see if Matty Ice can sling it against a tough defense.

I’m pulling for Brian Hoyer to have a good game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, if for no other reason than I love rooting for the underdog. Since Pittsburgh’s overall performance has been underwhelming the past couple of seasons, Hoyer may just be able to pull off a win against their division foe. Even if he doesn’t get the W, but has a good showing, he may be able to keep Manziel off the field which is a plus as far as I’m concerned.

It’s probably going to be a terrible game but I am curious to see what happens in the tilt between the Redskins and the Texans. ESPN analyst Ron Jaworkski recently stated that quarterback Robert Griffin III’s mechanics have regressed, whereas the Texans don’t have a legitimate starting quarterback even though the job has been given to Ryan Fitzpatrick. I can’t help but to wonder if J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney will eat Griffin for lunch, or if Fitzpatrick will throw so many interceptions the Texans won’t be able to overcome them. Hmmm….we’ll have to wait and see.

Quite frankly I’m excited to see just about all of the games, because it feels like it’s been an eternity since the last echoes of the Super Bowl were heard. Will Eli and the Giants finally get comfortable in the “west coast offense”, will Peyton Manning lose to his old team, the Indianapolis Colts again this season, and will anyone bother watching the 2nd game of the ESPN Monday night double-header between the Chargers and Cardinals? We just don’t know yet, so tune in football fans to find out and welcome to week one of the regular season!

The Yellow Flags Are Flying!

Arianne Suggs August 12, 2014August 12, 2014Leave a Comment

We only watched parts of a couple of the preseason games this past week and it sure seemed like an overabundance of penalty flags were being thrown. A number of the penalties appeared to be called against the defensive backs for illegal contact or holding. Honestly, how in the world are the defensive players supposed to play defense?

It goes without saying that football is a contact sport so why can’t the defensive players touch the offensive players without getting a penalty? What is this flag football, powder puff football or (gasp) futbol? Seriously, if they are going to take defense out of football it is not going to be the same game we have all come to know and love.

Let’s just hope that the refs had itchy trigger fingers because they haven’t been able to penalize anyone for the past several months. Of course, the NFL did say that they were going to enforce the illegal contact rule even more this season. If the preseason, so far, is any indication of what we can expect in the regular season then we, the fans, are screwed. Games will be longer and a lot more boring. All we can do is hope the refs ease up as the season progresses and just lets the players play.

On a side note, we get the feeling that Tony Romo’s back injury may prevent him from having as productive a season as the Cowboys would like. We have no inside sources or anything concrete to back that up, it’s just a hunch. If he can’t play as well as he is capable of playing then the Cowboys won’t even make it to their mediocre 8-8 record they have had for the past few seasons. Oh well, there aren’t any Cowboy fans writing for this blog anyway…
