Beyonce in Instyle !!!

Beyonce has always been one of my fashion inspirations . Here are some of her thoughts on her style lately.

On her latest look:
“I was going to do the shorter hair [for her new album] that I had when I performed with Tina Turner at the Grammys earlier this year, which I loved. But I’ve decided to wear my hair straight instead. I’ve had so many different hairstyles, and I don’t want this project to be about my hair. With my makeup, I was doing a lot of liquid liner before. Now I’m into a gold smoky eye and natural-tone lip.”

On her favorite designers:
“Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier are two designers I love right now. Their clothes are feminine, sexy and modern. I just went to the Giuseppe Zanotti showroom, and he had the most spectacular shoes. It was like being in a candy store—I was obsessed with every shoe! Right now, I love anything with a high platform.”

On her obsession with Chanel:
I am obsessed with vintage Chanel jewelry. I once bought all the Chanel pieces that were on display at an antiques store in New York.

Italian Vogue goes totally BLACK!!!

For the July issue they photographed all black models for the issue. It seems to be the total opposite of all other fashion magazines who refuse to use black models. All the models are black and even the topics in the magazine are to appeal to a black audience and the black female consumer that spends billions a year in an industry that doesn't even acknowledge our existence when most of the trends are taken from our culture. We are and have been some fly and fashionable individuals from the cool in the sixties ,to the dip in the step in the seventies, and the hip hop arrival of the eighties , and the Afrocentric nineties , to a culmination of all in the the years passed. This issue of Italian Vogue will be on European newsstands next Thursday and in the United States a few weeks later. The model on the cover is Liya Kebede . Naomi Campbell, Sessilee Lopez and Jourdan Dunn are on the pullout cover. They had trouble picking what model to use i.e a pull out cover. Other models...

Abstract and Neon

Today I was trying to wear a trend but ended up wearing two. I loved this shirt when I saw it at Jcpenny can I just say WELCOME NINA G. Since Nina took over the clothes are omg. GORGE.
