Ciara Named Creative Director for Nike and Jordan Kids Fall Collection!

Ciara Named Creative Director for Nike and Jordan Kids

A round of applause for this mother of two because she works HARD! When Ciara said she had learned her lessons and is in the process of leveling up; we felt that. PLUS, she really is doing the thing! Outside of busily starting company after company; Ciara is also sticking to her fashion roots with a brand new stylish undertaking. You go CiCi, and read on how Ciara Named Creative Director for Nike and Jordan Kids Fall Collection is the latest BO$$ lady power move!

In the words of our iconic granny, “Sisters are doing it for themselves!” Now if you didn’t sing that in true Aretha key, go hit that line one more time (LOL). For the rest of us let’s talk Ciaraaaaa!

Mrs. Wilson is not one to be slept on… EVER. This woman is now putting out her own music, hosting award shows, possesses an app and now creating for Nike/ Jordan Kids. Wow.

Ciara is very excited about entering the world of children’s fashion. Regarding becoming the Creative Director of Finish Line’s Nike/Jordan Kids Fall Collection Ciara says,

“It’s a dream come true to be able to express my creativity in fashion through legendary brands. I remember as a kid waiting in line at Finish Line to get the newest sneakers, so to have the opportunity to see my creative vision on those same shelves is a reminder no dream is too big. I can’t wait to infuse mine and my family’s style and energy into this process.”

This news is on the heels of other high profile black women also making fashion moves. Just in case you are forgetting just how fire 2019 is heating up for black female moguls in fashion; here’s a quick recap.

1. FENTY -Since owning the beauty industry (Fenty Beauty) is simply not enough! This year Rihanna hit the luxury couture scene with her own high end fashion line. Immediately a hit.

2. BEYONCÉ X ADDIDAS- Don’t call it a comeback. While many fans have wondered about the future of Bey’s athletic wear brand, Ivy Park; there is really no need fret. Like at all!

The brand is in very good hands, as the queen is collaborating with Addidas. Both sides hope that the mix will bring a new fresh vibe to the Beyoncé backed label. With the deletion of all old photos on the official Ivy Park Instagram page; it is safe to say that this project is in the works and on the way.

3. CARDI B X FASHION NOVA -Since the first one was SO successful, Fashion Nova decided to do it again. This year Drop 2 of the Cardi B x Fashion Nova collab hit the market and it too sold out. Fast.

4. JORDYN WOODS X BOOHOO -She doesn’t need anyone’s situation because she is making her own money honey. Woods collection with girls all over due to be size inclusive; and simply just very cute.

5. CARDI B X REEBOK -Danggggg! Yes, Cardi is in this list twice. The hip hop star continues in her quest to make money moves ; and in this case it is a partnership with Reebok. Check out the designs she is repping, they’re fly.

6. ASHANTI X LITTLE PRETTY THING – She’s soooo happy! Baby! Instead of herself, Ashanti made it rain on us. With huge drop of new swimwear designs. That’s hot.

Interesting enough, we are sure we are not listing all of the big fashion moves of this year. Also, we are ONLY at the halfway mark of the year! So there is still 6 months left for even more black girl magic to come our way.

Ciara as the Creative Director!

Nevertheless, now let’s really dive into Ciara’s new kids collection. Serving as the Creative Director Ciara will have say in the looks dropping for the upcoming kids fashion shoe lineup.

Moreover, Ciara is keeping it all in the family when it comes to model selection. Her ADORABLE son (Future Zahair, 5) and daughter (Sienna Princess, 2) are serving as the collection’s front and center stars.

Already, the visuals are some of the cutest you will ever see. Want a sneak peek? Check out the short video below.

She’s Got the Skills Bro

We saw a tweet that mentions that Ciara is not qualified to be the Creative Director. Instead of tweeting back, here (in our humble opinion) is why she IS QUALIFIED.

Uhm… did y’all forget she’s a model? Not just in name either; the child is signed. Plus, not just signed by any agency. The top ones.

Beginning back in 2009, Ciara received a multi-million deal with Wilhelmina. That alone would be an accomplishment. But there would come to be more Goodies! (Sorry we could not resist lol somebody take the wheel). In 2016, Ciara then signs with modeling agency IMG.

Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice? Doing something that big once is amazing, but twice though; better roll out an entire carpet of respect. Being with two top agencies like that just proves this: fashion loves and wants Ciara.

Moreover, being in and around the industry we are sure she has soaked in plenty of knowledge to make a collection fabulous and sellable.

Furthermore, her husband, Russell Wilson, is one the best QB’s in the NFL. Therefore, he would know a thing or two about comfortable shoes for active people. Which in turn would help greatly when coming up with designs for very little people who are arguably more active than anyone on this planet.

Once again, this demonstrates that Ciara possesses access to a wealth of helpful knowledge. Seriously, what better place to get shoe info from if not a successful athlete?

Moving on… CiCi loves the kids. Actually, it is the kids that love Ciara! What’s not to like? She’s pretty, she sings and can dance like no other; (for real, did you guys catch her getting down to the Baby Shark remix)? Just an overall fun lady.

Yet, she’s a real draw for kids even on their turf. Ciara has been tapped to be apart of the Kids Choice Awards multiple times proving that she has “kid like-ability.” With that under her belt, it can definitely help lead to sales.

Lastly, she’s a mom! How are you going to say that a mom doesn’t know what KIDS want?! Plus, she has not one, but two kids. Additionally, dare we also mention that one is a boy and the other is a girl?

Well, we are (lol); because having kids definitely gives Ciara a leg up; as well as insight into what kids want and like to wear. With all the above, we rest our case.

So yes, this project is a big deal for Ciara and for women all over. It helps to the open the door a little wider for others to also make waves in the industry. Therefore, congratulations to Ciara on this venture and to all the hardworking women out there helping to change the game.

Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70!

ZARA Printed Jumpsuit

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

ZARA Printed Jumpsuit

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.

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.

It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.

The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.

Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!

Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.

Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show.

Ciara 2016 Grammys Low Ponytail

Ciara 2016 Grammys Low Ponytail

The 2016 Grammys saw many hair trends come to the fore, one of our favorites was worn by songstress, Ciara. Ciara walked the red carpet with her handsome BF, Russell Wilson, in a daring gown by Alexandre Vauthier. To accompany her 2016 Grammys look, Ciara kept her hair simple with a low ponytail.

Some gals tend to shy away from wearing a ponytail because they feel that the hairstyle can be a little dull at times. Nevertheless, Ciara’s take on the low ponytail shows that drama can be created by adding just a few touches.

What touches can you add to your hair that will be Ciara inspired? Try these!

  • Highlights- Hair color instantly adds dimension.
  • Wisp It Good– Allow a few face framing strands to flow effortlessly near the hair line. Will give off sexy, relaxed, yet sophisticated vibes.

NFL Week 7 Has Us Wondering About the Elite Defenses

About four weeks ago, the talking heads were criticizing the New England Patriots saying the dynasty was over, the quarterback was in rapid decline, the head coach was a senile old man, yada, yada, yada. The Patriots are now 5-2, the same record as the other so-called top AFC teams, like the Chargers and Colts. However, the critics are squawking again because the Patriots only beat the New Jersey Jets by two points. I’m sorry but when is a victory over a division rival something to complain about? So the Patriots run defense had more leaks than Edward Snowden, but there were plenty of other things that they did well enough to win the game. They really need to focus on some other teams that are having issues like…

 

russell wilson seahawks week in review

The Seattle Seahawks, last season’s Super Bowl Champion. Their “legion of boom” defense looks like it is headed for doom. The defensive players don’t seem to have that swagger that was so prominent last year. They lost to their division rival, the lowly St. Louis Rams who are currently being quarterbacked by Austin Davis who I referenced in last week’s NFL post. The kid played well and led his team to victory over a Seattle team that seems to have lost its identity. Where are those critics now?

The 49ers also seem to be floundering on both sides of the ball. I think Colin Kaepernick may have gone Hollywood a bit prematurely what with colin kaepernick football week in reviewall the endorsements and women and such. It appears that he needs to spend more time studying his playbook and figuring out how to be a better quarterback, because right now his play is less than stellar. I don’t know what to say about the defense but they couldn’t do a darn thing against the Denver Broncos. True the Broncos are on a roll right now, but I expected a much tougher challenge than what the 49ers defense presented.

And speaking of the Broncos; congrats to Peyton Manning for breaking Brett Favre’s record for most passing touchdowns in a career. According to some sports analysts, it looks like the only quarterback with a shot to break Manning’s record would be Andrew Luck, but he is still very early in his career so it would be impossible to say at this point if he might ever be in the ball park. Anyway, the Broncos blew out the 49ers to the tune of 42 to 17. Shouldn’t the all-knowing critics be screaming that the Broncos are running up the score? I’m pretty sure that’s what they were shouting in 2007 when the Patriots went on their historic run. Oh that’s right; they hate Tom Brady but love Peyton Manning so he can do no wrong. I keep forgetting that… hypocrites!

Well it had to happen, like Icarus; I flew too close to the sun and got burned. That’s right I picked the Cleveland Browns to beat the winless Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland decided to go back to being Cleveland and managed to lose the game 6 to 24. I am not giving up on Brian Hoyer, but it’s games like the one this past Sunday that the Browns have a tendency to mess up. They make the easy things hard and the hard things easy which means that usually you don’t know what you are going to get from the Browns from one week to the next. But, hey it’s the NFL and on any given Sunday just about anything can happen. I’m sure that’s what the Bengals are thinking after they got shut out by the Colts, and they were supposed to be one of the most complete teams in the NFL. Oh well, to borrow a phrase from Coach Bill Belichick, we’re on to week eight…
