Rihanna Gone ROCKER to REGAL At 2012 Brit Awards; What A Change-Up!!


First of all, Rihanna's been rockin' her ROCKER CHICK in the U.S. for the longest time and put ot the filthy track 'Birthday Cake,' and now that she gets over to London for the Brit Awards, she's all DOLLED UP and GLAMMED UP? Maaaaann.... at least I get to see these great looks somewhere.

That is one stunning dress, studded in gold with like-patterned stilettos. The long, brown leather gloves are a nice touch, too.

Showing off her curves: Rihanna showed off some serious skin in this plunging gold sequin number, trumping British stars like Jessie J

Check out a couple looks that she had recently while in London:


Before the BRIT Awards, wearing this jersey knotted dress with heels and matching sheer socks.


Stepping out of a white Maybach 57, headed to a popular London restaurant. Paparazzi was seriously heavy that night...

More photos to come...

Take a brief lookback at Beyonce's February 2012 magazine cover for DT (above) which was pre- baby Blue Ivy. If this looks familiar to you, then yes, the picture features the same dress and hairstyle Bey had worn for her music video, Best I Never Had.

And below is a RECENT spotting of Beyonce and Jay-Z at a New Jersey Nets game. Jay-Z looked his cool, natural self with a sweater, khaki jeans, and Timberlands. Bey rocked it HOTT in her yellow blazer, black jeans, and embellished gold/black Christian Louboutin platform heels. Nice to see them out and enjoying each other...

Art On Your Shoes, Ladies: Keith Haring x Nicholas Kirkwood Wedge Heels


Heels are becoming more and more abstract and designers are including the love of art on them. What has famously graced NYC walls and art galleries were these drawings by Keith Haring, and they're now incorporated onto the fashion world. I have seen Keith Haring do collabos on jackets, pants, now THESE heels.

Check out the Keith Haring x Nicholas Kirkwood Wedge Heel (printed leather). It's sure to have people staring like they're actually in an art gallery, beholding this masterpiece.

London Fashion Week: Lots of LACE in ERDEM Fall/Winter 2012-13


There is an ABUNDANCE of lace in this Erdem line. The use of contrasting lace and colorful garments underneath is just spot-on.

Lace has always spoken a language of elegance and sensuality together. So it makes the female, who already has elegance and sensuality, embody even more the language LACE speaks. There are also floral patterns that are cleverly matched with shoes and are pleasant to the eyes rather than busy floral patterns. Gotta love a match.

See more photos of this awesome line:



Don't this kinda make you feel like running through a meadow? LoL

Black History Month Edition: Stylist JUNE AMBROSE and Rising Star Designer LAQUAN SMITH


It's nice to see black people supporting one another here in a nation where BLACK-ON-BLACK crimes is just getting ridiculous!!!

Check out well-known stylist JUNE AMBROSE, who will launch a reality show and her own eyewear line very soon, I believe on the VH1 network. She is photo'ed above next to LaQuan Smith, a fast-rising designer (he's only 23) and is in the ranks with older designer houses like Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, and others... HIS LINE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!!

June Ambrose reportedly says that she supports young black designers!

I will post more pics of his line later...

Rihanna Rocks A 'Flintstones' Vibe With 'BONE' Pants


Rihanna was spotted in London earlier last week for preparing to perform at the 2012 Brit Awards. She came outside in her usual ROCKER style she's been sporting lately. It's growing on me; I like this '80s vibe with the 'DINO BONES' pants she wore with an oversized leather varsity jacket and black sneakers. A red snapback cap was a nice touch, too.


Earlier in the week... Rihanna came in with this MILITARY vibe.... she probably attended London Fashion Week. Rihanna's not one to skip fashion.

Art Factor: Supermodel JOAN SMALLS For POP Magazine


I'm loving this simple expression but vibrant-color enhancement of supermodel Joan Smalls for POP Magazine. whoever put this together did a great job; loving the use of coppers and blues around the eyes, mouth, and Joan's perfect cheekbones. It kinda gives me an idea of where I want to go as far as my next photo shoot, which will be for my new necktie line, Vintage Ties by JAIDEN Detroit.

Chris Brown's GF Karrueche Tran Dressed Down In $2,495 Christian Louboutin Boots (?) How do U Relax In THOSE?!


I'm betting that Karrueche Tran has that long money to be able to relax on a flight from LAX wearing Christian Louboutin studded riding boots for $2,495. I can't relax and travel comfortable in something like that 'cuz I'm always worried about the possibility of scuffing my shoes or someone stepping on them in a corwded place.

But anyway, Karrueche wore her look fun and well with an Urban Renewal denim jacket for $69, and David Lerner colorblock leggings for $128. Love the curly blonde hair. I can't help but to see a Rihanna vibe here...
