We love to see images such as these! Business entrepreneur, Draya Michele for Forbes 2018; is a must read for anyone needing a little boss lady inspiration. Draya is one of the hardest working, bonafide hustlers in the industry.

Draya Michele for Forbes 2018 -Talks Business and New Store
Besides a great story, readers will also be treated to some amazing visuals. The ending result shown on Forbes may be what editorial dreams are made of and then some. However, it did not come about without a few ups and downs. Los Angeles based fashion stylist, Kailani, reveals all. She states,
“Did a fun feature with Draya for Forbes. Thank you to the lovely ladies at SUISTUDIO for their impeccable women’s suiting options!
We did a thing yesterday! We trespassed on unauthorized property. We drove across a wild field. We lost the reflector to the little river… but we got some dope shots. So yeah we did a thing yesterday!”
It certainly takes a village! As Kailani mentions, for the Forbes story Draya rocks various suits by fashion label, SUISTUDIO. However, then Michele infuses some causal fun into her look by wearing kicks with designer suits.
A nice fashion touch that proves that suits do not need to feel or look “stuffy.” To complete her ensemble, Draya and her stylist incorporated shoes by Converse. Fab!

Savage x Fenty – Rihanna Lingerie Dropping May 11-EVERYTHING TO KNOW!
Welp… didn’t she tell us she was? Rihanna is at it again to snatch every dollar out of our wallets (and wigs) with a “savage” lingerie line aptly named, Savage x Fenty! The brand is set to drop in just a few weeks on May 11. Right in time for those summer Baes and flings. Date night anyone?
Rihanna’s sassy intimates label takes its inspiration from her hit song, Needed Me. In the pre-chorus Rih can be heard singing, “But baby, don’t get it twisted. You was just another n@#ga on the hit list. Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad b$&ch. Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage.”
The savagery line took off like a wildfire since the song’s release back in March of 2016; and Rih continues to use it to not only further brand herself, but also her stylish merchandise. Savage which can refer to someone being stinging, fierce or ravening; is certainly fitting to the image of the world’s favorite Badgal as well as her future collection of lingerie.
Savage x Fenty – Rihanna Lingerie Dropping May 11… EVERYTHING TO KNOW
However, what is the connection between Fenty’s video and intimate apparel? Well, in the Needed Me music video Rihanna famously wore a number of chic styles. The one that stuck out in everyone’s fashion mind, was an insanely gorgeous light blue Italian silk organza long couture robe with matching bottoms. Nonetheless, was Rihanna here hinting at a future lingerie collection in this video?
In all honesty, there is a pretty good hunch to think that she was. Fenty enjoys a long history of dropping hints at her upcoming releases. For instance, at the Grammy Awards in 2017 Rihanna donned jewelry from her luxury Chopard collaboration collection way before it hit the market.
Also, more recently, Robyn gave the world Wild Thoughts in her 2018 Grammys performance with DJ Khaled. Besides wearing a designer ensemble by Adam Selman; the singer also glowed thanks to her Fenty Beauty Body Lava. The performance was in January of 2018 while Body Lava’s release was in the following April.
Rihanna may be very slick with her hints, but the fact remains whether people pick up on them or not; they are still going to purchase whatever Rih makes when it finally comes to fruition. However, last word, on that light blue robe in the Needed Me video. Want it? It’s by Rosamosario and it’s called the Cosmic Love Long Robe. With sizing that ranges from XS to XL. There are still some of these robes currently in stock and will cost you 1,570 euros or $1,910. Your welcome.
Savage x Fenty – Rihanna Lingerie Dropping May 11
So then, what’s in store when it comes Savage x Fenty? Oh you know, just everything in order to make any heart you desire race! Rihanna is already giving a saucey preview of what’s to come. Online the music icon shared a few posts teasing the intimates brand.
Furthermore, in one particular promo photo Rihanna lays out on a mirrored platform in a little red and white printed number with cut-out detailing. The bodysuit is also equipped with an underwire. This is music (pun intended) to the ears of all women who enjoy plenty of support as well as those apart of the itty-bitty chest committee that love having a nice boosting effect.
This sexy design proves that Rihanna is once again seriously thinking about her market. Like her cosmetics brand, Robyn only wants to sell not only what her customers want, but what they also really need. Whether well endowed, or small and perky Rihanna wants to ensure her intimates brand makes you feel absolutely alluring.
Additionally, Miss Fenty would also like fans to know that the brand will be inclusive. Sizing will have an amazing range. Therefore, if you are nervous about finding something that fits, you do not have to be worried.
Savage x Fenty (Cont.)
Ready to lace up? Yup… the brand will also host plenty of lacy garments. A pair of lacy bottoms have additionally hit the online sneak peek train. Moreover, Rihanna is super excited to share all of her designs real soon.
The Work artist posted on social stating, “Bet ya didn’t know it’s National Lingerie Day; got a lil’ treat for my ladies… Savage x Fenty is coming to you worldwide on May 11th! Exclusively on SAVAGEX.com!
On the website you will find a nifty area to sign up for any and all updates. To get specifics for your area, all you have to do is provide an email and select your county. It’s that simple.
Furthermore, since everything Rih touches turns to gold this little email list is extremely helpful if you actually wish to get your hands on some of her upcoming lingerie. Like her fashion line as well as cosmetics, all of her intimate apparel is already set to sell out FAST. So then, act now and check out SAVAGEX.com in order to sign up for future details.
Savage x Fenty – Rihanna Lingerie Dropping
So is there a market for lingerie? Uhm… heck yeah! Better hold onto your wings Vickie with a Secret because RIH fans have spoken! Whether they are currently lingerie fanatics or not; they want in on Fenty’s racy pie.
Already in less than a week, the Savage x Fenty craze is taking over all social platforms. On Instagram the Savage x Fenty Instagram account is sitting sexy with over 155,000 followers. With photos garnering over over tens of thousands of likes; as well as video teasers getting over 100,000 views. Not bad for a page that many didn’t even know existed until a few hours ago.
Therefore, what are people and Rihanna fans saying about the Barbadian beauty’s latest brand drop?
“OMGGGGGG SO EXCITED JUST TAKE ALL MY MONEY AND MY SOUL.”
“Ok but why did this have to come out at the time I’m broke.”
“Can’t wait!!”
“Rihanna is coming for our wallets ladies.”
“Whatever it is, the coins is here!!! Take the coins Robyn!!”
“Ready!”
“WIGGGGG.”
Savage x Fenty – But What About…
New music? As much as we all are loving Rihanna’s success in fashion, beauty and everything in-between. The fact is many would like to see Miss Fenty make a return to her original bread and butter… music.
Don’t believe us? Hit the Gram and check out the comments under the first Savage x Fenty post. It’s all too clear what the people want. If you don’t have time to snoop here are just a few of their musical driven thoughts.
“Ok but we want new music.”

“If its lingerie I will love it. But I would love new music more.”
“We want new music Rihhh why are you doing this to us?”
“Release music.”
“It would be nice if there was some new music to listen to in the meanwhile.
“We want new music girl!”
“Riri!!! Don’t play with us like this!”
“We been ‘kiss it kiss it better’ since 2016… we want new music… 100.”
“Sis where’s the music.”

Wave Those Toothbrushes! Christina Milian’s Cornrows Style and Baby Hairs
Thank you Brandon Almengo! Brandon is the man aka photographer behind one of Christina’s latest photo shoots. For this particular visual the singer sports a cornrows style and some seriously LAID baby hairs. We are totally hair crushing on this look and Christina is making us want to rock them from A.M. to P.M.! (Old school Milian song reference kiddos).
Christina Milian’s Cornrows Style and Baby Hairs
For several seasons now, the cornrows style as well as baby hairs have become more en vogue. Not to say that these hairstyles have not been “around” or trendy, especially within black culture. It is just that now everyone and their mama as well as all of mainstream pop culture is getting down them too. Literally, you can’t scroll the Gram timeline or Explore page without seeing it. Therefore, if you are looking for a style that keeps giving, you have found it.
Nonetheless, if you want to learn how to execute a look properly it’s best to look toward the source right? Therefore, who was the mastermind behind this glamorous hairstyle for Christina? Naima Lewis (@bellacheveux on instagram) is the stylist that completed the cornrows style on Ms. Milian! Lewis’ artistry just goes to prove that natural hairstyles can bring the drama and je ne sais quoi as much as any other hair look.
Furthermore, we also love this hairstyle because it’s a chic protective style. If you are trying to grow out your hair or maintain length this hair look will help shield your strands from harm. Also, there is so much freedom and room to create one-of-a-kind versions. As a result, you could steal Christina Milian’s cornrows style or you can design one with your own personal flair. It’s all up to you!
Don’t know how to cornrow hair? Girl… that used to be us! However, practice makes perfect and if you get to learning the skill now this hairstyle could be yours very soon! Here is one of our favorite video tutorials. It’s short and to the point. Plus, it really zooms in there so that you can get the technique down pact.

Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70!
The Item: Singer and entertainer, Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit. The musical artist was spotted in her floral frock while out enjoying a date with her NFL hubby, Russell Wilson.
You Asked: Okay, I kind of just need a little confirmation. I think I found Ciara’s jumpsuit online but the price is throwing me off. This look is by ZARA right? BTW I am in the US.
Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70
The Verdict: Thanks for the couture question and yes, you are correct! Cici’s cute jumpsuit is by the ZARA fashion label. The brand describes its design as a “long jumpsuit with floral print and contrasting piping detail. [It also] features a lapel collar, V-neckline, long sleeves, front pockets and buttoned cuffs.” For these reasons, the brand named this ensemble, the ZARA Printed Jumpsuit.
Moving on to price we can completely understand why there might be some confusion. ZARA’s website is not always automatically set to the country that you reside in. For instance, the printed jumpsuit you are desiring on our end reads as 79.90CAD. This is Canadian money, so not quite helpful to someone wanting to pay in dollars. However, the equivalent amount in American money would be around $62. Watch for prompts because many times ZARA will have popups asking if you want to change the currency.
Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
