How did you spend your Labor Day Weekend? Nicki Minaj chose to heat things up in Sin City. The sassy hip hop artist was spotted in Las Vegas in sexy designer duds. Scroll on dolls, we breakdown Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit and the rest of her hot OOTD!

Spotted: Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit

Okay Nicki baby we see you girl! Miss Minaj posed it out for the cameras in a La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit which retails for $3,844. The detailing of the jumpsuit showed off Nicki’s sought after physique and cough, girls (LOL).

The cute jumpsuit also includes cut-outs that trace the shapely outline of the lady wearing it. We love this aspect because it gives the illusion of a smaller form. Therefore, if you are packing like a girl from a Sir Mix A Lot music video then this fashion will give you a more slimming effect instantly. It is just like if you were to wear stripes vertically instead of horizontally. Here’s a closer look at her La Perla jumpsuit:

The lingerie inspired trend continues to gain speed among the rich and famous. You may be reminded of Amber Rose’s Tom Ford slash La Perla VMAs look. Nevertheless, we digress.

Minaj finished off her ensemble with nude tinted heels and a Chanel handbag. Her jewelry stayed within the gold family. Accessories included a watch, rings and chain link bracelet.

Hair Notes: Nicki Minaj rocked some serious hair down-to-there with her La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit. Moreover, she kept her tresses straight and sleek. The overall combination reads seductive and foxy chic.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

Arianne Suggs August 9, 2016August 9, 2016Leave a Comment

If you are lacking motivation to hit the gym regularly maybe the thought of larger breast may help. Not all of us are born with awesome knockers like Tyra, Janet and Halle Berry. However, we can perk up our girls with a little effort and dedication. Here’s how to achieve breast enhancement thanks to good old exercise.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

If it were easy everyone would do it. We are not going to kid you and tell you that breast enhancement through exercise is going to be a walk in the park. Nevertheless, it will not be as bad as you think. All you really need to do in the coming weeks is be consistent. If you are dedicated then a shapelier physique shall be yours!

The concept is simple: build and lift them up. To give your boobs a little more spotlight you need to exercise your chest muscles. In a world where everyone wants a better and bigger booty the chest can get ignored. Nonetheless, working out your chest muscles just two or three times a week can give you a sexier bust without going under the knife.

Why Does Exercise Work?

As you know boobs are just glorified fat. Underneath these sexy fat gems lie your chest muscles. Strengthening and toning said muscles starts a chain reaction. Boobs become more defined and begin to rise.

For instance, when you do squats what happens in time? The butt becomes more toned and defined. It also heads north and lifts up. All of this occurs because of the muscles in this area being worked and challenged. This principle works with the chest as well.

What exercises should be performed to enhance the bust? Chest flys are excellent for making the chest even sexier. Here’s how to perform using dumbbells:

Starting Position: Lie flat on your back then with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise dumbbells so that palms face each other and arms form a wide circle or arch.
Movement: From the arch position lower arms to the side till you feel a stretch at the chest.
Return: Lift arms back up to starting position and that is one rep. Think as in two seconds down and two seconds back up to the start position. Do 3 sets of 12 reps.

Old Fashion

If you do not own any exercise equipment an old school move can still get you results. Push-ups are classic and very effective. Moreover, since they can easily be performed anywhere there are no excuses when it comes to succeeding in breast enhancement.

Another way to achieve breast enhancement through exercise is to focus not just on the chest muscles. Strengthening and toning up your core muscles and upper back is also key. Doing so will help you stand taller instead of slouching. As a result, your chest will look even more elevated and alluring.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 4, 2016May 3, 2016Leave a Comment

This year’s hairdos spotted at the 2016 Met Gala were just as exciting as the fashions that accompanied them. It wasn’t just about length or whether strands were up or down. There was one trend in particular that seemed to take the cake among the stars.

Hair color, hair color, hair color and say it with us, hair color! The 2016 Met Gala saw a wide range of hues. The varied looks included all ends of the spectrum. From platinum to rich deep, reddish plums. Highlights were also big on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet. However, enough yapping right? Here is quick breakdown of all the various hairstyles that revived our 2016 Met Gala Hair of the Week Award!

Amandla Stenberg

She literally allowed her hair to be her crown of glory. We absolutely adored her gold hair accessory.

Cynthia Bailey

After the show is the after-party! Reality starlet and model Cynthia Bailey hit the 2016 Met Gala after parties with a voluminous curly fro accented with a crown braid.

FKA Twigs

Here’s how to give those French braids a twist… literally. Twigs wore a braided updo that twisted at the nape up to about center. The look also incorporated hair jewelry that seamlessly went with her designer gown.

Beyoncé

Many could not simply take their eyes off Bey’s backside. We couldn’t either… her sleek tresses with the blonde hair color and highlights were seriously on point!

Zendaya Coleman

This is so modish and elegant we can’t stop staring. This cut is all about precision and execution. If you were born with retro and vintage vibes running through your veins you just gazed upon your new hairstyle.

Kerry Washington

She may have been wearing all black but Kerry’s hair was all types of bold. There was nothing subtle about her hair color that complimented her loose waves. If you’re going to the attend the Met Ball you might as well go all out or just stay home.

Jourdan Dunn

She had us at asymmetrical hair cut. Dunn’s Bob was pure perfection and only seemed to become more stunning from every angle. Moreover, the gray hue with dark roots was just killer.

Nicki Minaj

Her expertly placed platinum hair color showed true craftsmanship. Take note how the color extended all the way to the very tips. Bravo colorist, bravo.

Ciara

She’s currently working on a new album so why not a new hairstyle? CiCi came to slay with vintage waves and metallic silver strands.

Lupita Nyong’o

One of the most talked about hairstyles of the 2016 Met Gala outside of Ciara came via Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita took natural hair to new heights with a five tier updo.

8 Black Celebrities Prove Blonde Hair Is Fun

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 3, 2016February 3, 2016Leave a Comment

You have probably heard it time and time again that blondes have more fun. Maybe it is because blonde hair color is a bold tint for black hair or maybe it is just exciting to try out new hair colors. Nevertheless, our favorite celebrities can’t seem to get enough of the golden shade!

We have complied a list of 8 black celebrities to prove our point, but before we get into that we decided to give a little hair advice to help maintain blonde tinted hair. Color treated locks need to be handled gently and with great care in order to protect it from damage. Here are some tips:

Use heat styling tools on a lower heat setting to protect tresses that may be more fragile due to the coloring process.
The lightening/highlighting process is no joke, in-between salon visits treat hair with plenty of conditioning treatments to help strands rebuild from any damage.
Keep blonde color from growing dull by using a clarifying shampoo every few weeks.
Base your hair color on how much money and time you are willing to invest in order to maintain it.
Keep hair strong by using a strengthening spray formulated for color treated hair on a weekly basis.

Now what you have been waiting for, some blonde hair inspiration just in case you are on the fence about taking the blonde plunge.

Crystal Westbrooks

Laverne Cox

It is not only the girls who love the blonde hair, guys too are getting in on all the fun. Check out male model Michael Lockley to see what we mean!

Arianne Suggs November 4, 2015November 4, 2015Leave a Comment

We are sure by that title instantly you are thinking, come on 1966 that sounds way too good to be true. However, we are here to let you in on a little secret that is allowing women to turn fashion into hard cold cash. How are these fashionistas making an extra buck or two? We will give it to you straight… they have entered the world known as Pawn My Gucci Purse. What in the world does that entail?

Well, handbags made by Gucci have always fetched a nice price namely because the Italian brand is in very high demand. As Instagram models and Tumblr stars grow in popularity so does the desire to have their designer duds. Like editorial models these ladies help influence the trends that all girls want not now, but RIGHT now.

Nicki Minaj Spotted With Gucci Classics “Jockey” Large Hobo Bag

Every picture these dolls take are an easy marketing campaign for the brand or label that gave it to them. Think about how often you have scrolled the comment section seeing various girls asking where they can get a particular fashion item. Product placement is pushing sales which is why social media is becoming a bigger marketing beast.

Therefore, what does all of this mean for gals who have a Gucci purse laying around at home? Well, it is very good news because this means the market is very much in your favor. Pawn shops want what you possess and they want it bad because they know it is an easy sale. They know girls want these designer bags and if they can get their hands on them then it is lights out, cha-ching all the way to the bank.

Throwback: Rihanna Slinging Gucci Soho Leather Disco Bag

Just how much can you receive from pawning off a Gucci handbag? According to statistics, depending on the bag that you have in your possession you can receive anywhere from $50 to upwards of $5,000! Instant money that you can use to pay bills, tuition, rent, airline ticket, go towards your savings (highly recommended by us LOL) or hey a brand new outfit! Whatever is your bag baby (all puns intended) you can make some side money quick by pawning off your purse.

Black Hairstyles: Nicki Minaj Alexander Wang Fall 2015 Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 17, 2015Leave a Comment

She has gone from black to blonde and now she is back to black tinted hair. Nicki Minaj is definitely getting our “Fried, Dyed and Fabulously Laid to the Side” award! Nicki was front row for the Alexander Wang Fall 2015 runway show and wore her long locks up in a high ponytail with a full bang. We loved the thicker texture of her hair instead of a tail of super sleek strands. A simple hairstyle that still screams I am a Diva.
