Miss Palmer killed it a few weeks back when she attended Comic Con and several network parties. Therefore, it is no surprise that she would continue to slay as she attended yet another all-star event. For the 2015 Teen Choice Awards Keke stunned all in a design from Giulietta Resort 2016.
The color scheme as well as geometric design of the gown make this dress one fun, flirty little number. Moreover, the strappy shoes harmonized with the dresses straps perfectly. In the accessory department we also loved Keke’s tattoo choker. These were so cool to wear as a kid so we are so glad that they are back in vogue!
Beauty Notes: Keke demonstrates how to balance makeup so as not to look slightly clownish. Since she chose to rock with a rather strong eye makeup look, Palmer then kept the rest of her makeup simple incorporating a nude lip.

Two ladies who rocked some braids stood out to us during the Teen Choice Awards. Those being the stylish as well as stunning Zendaya Coleman and the always beautiful Yari Shahidi. We will get to Yari in an upcoming post, but for now let’s talk some hair when it comes to Zendaya!
At first glance you may think okay, she is wearing a high tiny bun or chignon. However, then homegirl flips around and you realize the big surprise is in the back. A LONG, skinny braid that is dramatic yet very playful.
Several, girls in office said Coleman was giving us some serious Sasha Fierce vibes. Nevertheless, Bey normally will rock a much thicker braid so we want to give Zendaya credit where credit is due. The long braid was chicly fantastic and creative. Since her hair was pulled back her ensemble including the ruffle detailing (Ashi Studio Fall 2015) was able to receive more focus. If you are ever wearing an outfit that has some intricate details it is best to wear your hair in a simple fashion otherwise the two will be competing for attention.

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:

We received a lot of response in regards to a previous post that delved into how to remove dye once it’s come into contact with skin. If you have ever experienced or encountered this situation you already know that it is not any fun. You can rinse yourself silly and the hair dye will remain right where it’s landed.
Last time, we had mentioned that using toothpaste can help to resolve this hair color issue. If you do decide to take the toothpaste route make sure that you are using a non-gel form. Nevertheless, we mentioned that this topic is being revisited, so what new light can be shed on this topic?
Recently, we did a little testing with the baking soda method. We had heard about it through a hair care professional but was still skeptical. Therefore, we decided to do a quick experiment to put our skepticism to rest once and for all.
During our experiment we focused on removing hair color stains that had attached themselves around the hairline as if you had forgot to apply Vaseline in order to stop the dye from running. We combined baking soda and dish detergent and stirred until the two ingredients formed a paste. The paste was then vigorously brushed onto the hair color skin stains using a toothbrush.
What was the results of the baking soda method? The hair color stains were removed proving that this hair fix truly is effective. The skin was left clean appearing as though no stain had been there before. Now we will say that we had to seriously put some elbow into it but the baking soda & dish detergent did their jobs.

We love a stylish braid because this hair look is so great for black hair. It serves as one of the protective hairstyles which means your strands will be protected from harm while fashioned in this style. For instance, your ends are safely tucked in keeping them from rubbing against something or the elements so that they do not fray or split.
Moreover, besides being deemed safe for tresses it is also versatile for day and nighttime wear. Hairstyles that can be worn day or night will save you time and much needed energy! Plus, if taken care of this particular style should last at least a few days before needing to be refreshed or restyled. Sweet!
We spotted Alicia Keys with her own version of the Halo aka crown braid. Alicia chose to have her crown braided and wrapped around down into a single braid. A great version in order to look like a laid back goddess.
So then, how do you make this style your own? Here are two great tutorials that will help you get the look!
Do you prefer to braid than twist to achieve this hair look? Then you will want to check out this one:
Okay, but what if you are horrible at twisting and braiding is like well, don’t even think about it LOL. There is an even EASIER way to get this look by using a braid extension. If you have two left hands so to speak then here is the simple way to create the crown dutch braid:

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.

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.

It was business as usual in the fashion department this week for actress and talk show host KeKe Palmer. Palmer was spotted killing it this week at two separate events. The fashion forward starlet first attended a private event put on by singer Joe Jonas in which she wore an all-white ensemble. Keke showed some skin with the look thanks to a plunging view from her unbuttoned blouse.
Palmer next jetted over to the FOX Summer TCA All-Star Party where she was mean green. Palmer wore an emerald tinted sweater crop top with matching skirt with sexy side split. The night also included a panel discussion with her and her fellow Scream Queens cast.
Keke wasn’t the only glamorous doll at the FOX TCA Summer Party… be sure to check out our full fashion wrap-up of the event!
