ArianneUpdated on December 13, 2016December 13, 2016Leave a Comment

This just in, Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue! From clothing brand launch to cover girl, Zendaya is doing it all this year. Miss Coleman is no stranger to photo shoots, the limelight, launching companies or being a role model for young girls. She speaks her mind confidently and stands up for herself as well as her culture with grace. In the January edition of Allure Zendaya tackles the importance of being yourself even in a fashion sense.

Zendaya Covers Allure Magazine January 2017 Issue

Do you dress according to your mood or go for trends? Does your wardrobe scream that you dance to the beat of your own drum or blend in with the crowd? In Zendaya’s case when it comes to couture she aims to be her herself and wear whatever she desires. Regarding her passion for fashion Zendaya told Allure,

“You can’t let other people determine what you want to wear, how you do your hair, how you live your life. You have to live for yourself and what makes you happy. So that’s why I dress how I dress on red carpets, and I wear a mullet to the Grammys and do what I want. It’s very liberating to just wear something for yourself and because I feel confident and I feel comfortable in it.

But that’s the whole point, you know, is for there to be conversation and talk. If I didn’t dress the way I dress or wear my hair the way I wanted to because people told me that they didn’t like it, I would be boring. And I wouldn’t be on the cover of this magazine, because no one would care. And I would never experiment. And I never would find my confidence. So I would just have a rule that you have to live for yourself and what makes you happy.”

Nevertheless, as you can see in this post, Zendaya looks absolutely stunning in her editorial. The photos were lensed by Jason Kibbler with styling by Patrick Mackie and makeup by Frankie Boyd.

Versace, Versace, Versace! A new favorite look from Nicki’s Turks and Caicos stint has emerged. We spotted the hip hop mogul wearing a Versace swimsuit accompanied by blue Chanel flip flops and plenty of gold jewelry.

Now these Chanel flip flops are definitely a must-see. They are embellished with gold chains and come complete with the signature Chanel logo. It seems as though Nicki was gifted with these and was more than happy to receive them. On social she stated,

“Thank God you blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over you. Baby good looking out. Best thing you never had. Thank you for this epic gift.”

We want to be gifted too (LOL)! Nicki is one lucky girl who we wouldn’t mind raping her closet every now and then. Nevertheless, back to the topic at hand. Our favorite piece of Nicki’s travel fashion girl look is the cover up.

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Arianne Suggs December 4, 2016December 4, 2016Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought about owning your own company one day? Thanks to technology and digital platforms more young women are becoming entrepreneurs than ever. Get the motivation you need to be a bonafide Boss Lady with Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO!

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Fashion brand Milano di Rouge is owned and operated by black business owner, Milan Rouge. Milan has always possessed a knack for being a motivator. Her strong spirit led her to start her own successful blog and pursue the creation of a fashion label.

Milan always promotes that anyone can make their dreams a reality. There are so many wise things she has said but we collected together a few that are encouraging and give an insider’s view on being a company owner. Milan has said,

“Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life you’re proud to live. So the question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

“It’s so much negativity in this world I just try my best to bring some positivity, motivation and inspiration to anyone I come in contact with. Notice I said try, I’m still human [and] I still have my bad days. I just want us to realize our power and own it. I try to encourage everyone that if they truly want something that it’s obtainable, if they work hard enough. And if they truly want to know something the answer isn’t as hard to find as they think.”

Owning a couture brand involves making sure everything is on point online, in store, on social media as well as on set. Nevertheless, Milan also discussed how she handles the image of her label,

“Being the model and designer is tough. I have to always get out of model mode (inside the camera) and go into Director mode (outside looking in) to make sure everything is good. Luckily for me [my team] makes it’s a little easier for me to do because I trust their vision, although I’m still a little anal [because] I like to see for myself. Hence my facial expression: I’m probably saying “make sure the logos are visible and the shirt is not creasing!”

Business Success Quotes

Business success quotes are an excellent way to stay on track towards your goals. Post them around your workspace in order to keep your motivation high. Be like Milan and always remember that nothing you want is unattainable. In closing here are a few more Rouge sayings to never forget!

“It’s okay to support other women. it won’t hurt you. It’s a sisterhood not a competition.”

“I just want to continue to grow, learn and make my dreams a reality. After the fun it’s back to work. Well, actually it doesn’t feel like work when it’s your passion.”

Long live HarRih! Alright, we will cool our heels because this looks to be just an innocent meeting. Prince Harry is visiting Barbados due to the country celebrating fifty years of independence.

Harry also delivered a message from the Queen who unfortunately could not attend. Harry said to all in attendance in behalf of the Queen, “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to the Government and the people of Barbados… Our countries have shared history, shared values and an affection which continues to bind us.”

Besides helping Barbados ring in their freedom, Harry also took part in more humantarian work. He visited sick children at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown. His visit was definitely welcomed and he even received a hug from one of the young patients.

Okay drums please, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. How did HarRih and the whole Prince Harry Meets Rihanna event come about? As all true fans know Rihanna hails from Barbados which makes sense that she would go home in order to celebrate such a huge historic benchmark.

Furthermore, we don’t blame Prince Harry at all for being so excited. Rihanna looked glamorous in a low cut blue gown accessorized with gold jewelry. Who knows maybe the pair will become good friends. At the very least we can expect some cool memes to be on the way!
