Trend Alert: Studs / Spikes

So maybe the studs and spikes aren't all new because its been out ever since the beginning of the season. But right now the stud / spikes trend its at its peak and I'm falling in love with it all over again, like I did when it first started trending. Whether you're a preppy or a rock 'n roll diva, there's no denying that studs are must-have embellishments that adds instant flair to every piece from jeans to shoes, dresses, tops and accessories. This trend lends a slight edginess to even the most difficult and more simplistic fabrics. And after all, its uni sex; well depends on how you wear it, you down want to walk around looking like a bedazzled Ken do you? If you haven't tried this trend what are you waiting for? the season is almost over. Accessorize with studs and spikes to get the Look Du Jour.





Cute!

Wale for Honey Magazine

Perhaps you've seen him perform at the entire VMA's with his band and artists, Pitbull and Solange but now Honeymag.com gives you an inside scoop on who the entertainer really is... Check out Wale's interview for the November issue of Honey Magazine.


Interview snippet:
Wait, could it be? A witty reference to his rumored industry crush? The blogs have been buzzing about a relationship between him and Solange for months. The infamous Central Park picnic pics. Their flirty (and very public) tweets don’t do much to hinder the gossip, either. Back in the telly, we get a glimpse of another side of Wale. (Truth serum comes in many forms and flavors.)

“I do love her,” he admits of Solange, flashing a Cheshire. “We’re friends. She’s amazing. She’s a good person. Any single mother contributing to society the way she does — I got a lot of love for them. She’s got to do a lot on her own and raise a young black man in this day and age, so my hat goes off to her. She’s definitely an anomaly. And the way she can do that and manage to do the same things that I complain about having to do.”

His affection is as obvious as a set of flushed cheeks. And impossibly adorable. Wale, the former mixtape rapper from inner city DC, is borderline giddy. “Did you interview Solange about me?” Wale asks. He’s sprawled across his bed; head practically buried in the pillow. “Did she smile when you mentioned my name?”

Rihanna Vs Gaga Vs Bey

Battle of the Pop Diva's
Remember when 50 and Kanye went head to head to see who would sell more albums, that is Graduation and Curtis; both albums by rap prodigies were released on the same day September 11th 2007? Dispite certain allegations Graduation obviously came out victorious selling more records than Curtis. Well November 23rd is battle of the Pop Diva's. Lady Gaga's "The Fame: Monster" and Rihanna's "The wait is over" will be hitting stores on the same day. Both pop sensations carries a unique sound and a huge fan base as their backbone. The question however is Who Will Sell More Albums, send the volumes sky high and claim the title pop princess? Let's add more fuel to the fire! Last year on November 23rd the Queen of Pop that is none other than Mrs Carter aka Beyonce Knowles dropped her third studio album a double disc record "I Am ...Sasha Fierce" which ranked number one on the sales chats going 3x platinum. Can Rihanna sell out Beyonce with the publicity ...I mean controversy surrounding the Chris Brown situation? or Lady Gaga who is re releasing her album? This would be interesting...I guess we all have to wait and see.

Harper's Bazaar Features New Moon Cast

The Twilight saga "New Moon" has its fans as well as press drooling over the trailer waiting impatiently for its release. Leading casts Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's grace the cover of Harper's Bazaar for a fun interview...
Exciting pics and snippet below ...










Who spends more time on their hair?
Kristen: "Rob."

Rob: "I have weird personal-space issues, and so I can't stand people -- um, I'll do anything to not have any touch-ups."

Competitive?

Kristen: "Rob. In a very childish way, in every aspect of his life. He'll literally start talking in a different voice if he's won something. He sounds like a five-year-old."

Rob: "I'd say it was even. She said me? Really? When I really win things, it's just like..." [Kristen is correct: He makes a noise like a five-year-old.]

Athletic?

Kristen: "I'm definitely claiming that one. Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run ..."

Rob: "Kristen. You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I'm supposed to be the superhero."

Egotistical?

Kristen: "I'd have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a fuck about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."

Rob: "It's kind of a tie. We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous. Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."

Who Googles themselves more?

Kristen: "Rob."

Rob: "She would say me, but I reckon it's her. If either one of us catches the other one doing it, we're like, Jesus Christ, is that what you're looking at? And the other one's on their phone pretending to text. I look up my competition more than she does. I'm incredibly shallow. I think she just looks at herself."

Who's the better musician?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a great singer. Heartbreaking."

The most outgoing?

Rob: "I was once, but not so much anymore. Kristen's a little more open now."

Better sport?

Kristen: "Who can hang? Definitely me. He's very sensitive. He's got a fragile ego."

Superstitious?

Kristen: "Rob. He's a little bit more paranoid, so that feeds into superstition more."

Rob: "I am. I believe a lot in karma and stuff. Like when I end up with egg on my face, I'm like, Fate! I was born doomed. But I think it's more being an idiot than superstitious."

I still havent seen Twilight but for those of you going out to see the movie I hope you enjoy it.

Beauty Trends : New Hair Do's

Our days of lusting over the edgey cut spotted by Victoria Beckham are over. She's literally taken her hair game up a notch adding a tinch of color to her new hair do, still short but her soft spirals are a few inches longer.

"Chicesta" isnt a word but if it were then that would describe this former The Hills star and fashion designer Lauren Conrad. LC is always super chic and her flowing curls maybe her signature but is never timeless. She spotted a retro look at the MARK Gala recently and is it me or does she have new honey highlights? Anyway...Cute. Her dark eyes , bold red lips and little to no accessories screams the "less is more" look which I absolutely love.


Have you seen any new hair do's? Let me know...

Rihanna: Glamour Woman Of The Year

Glamour Magazine will honour Rihanna as Glamour Woman of the Year along with 11 other woman. Glamour pays tribute to to courageous and inspiring who are masters in their fields.









Interview Snipet

Glamour: Let’s talk about this past year—you’ve obviously been through some difficult things. How did the people around you help you cope?

Rihanna: My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.

Glamour: Are you referring to the [Chris Brown] incident?

Rihanna: I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another.

Glamour: You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.

Rihanna: It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.

The Devil Wears Prada


Katie Holmes covered Elle November in this Prada dress which I instantly spotted from the first glimpse. I really love this frock, the velvet ensemble makes it super chic and red carpet worthy.

The best thing about this piece is that it can be worn so many ways, bold or no accessories at all.
