Chanel's Supermarket Runway Show for Paris Fashion Week.

No, this isn't a paparazzi snapshot of Karl Lagerfeld and Cara shopping at Krogers, it's Chanel at Paris Fashion Week. Chanel's F/W 2014 fashion show was amazing and most definitely out of the ordinary. They framed today's show as if they were shopping at the grocery store.  This must be what a rich person's Supermarket Sweep looks like.

Don't Call it a Comeback: Timberland Boot Heels.

Do you guys remember the Manolo Blahnik Timberland boot heels that became popular like 9 years ago? I think it was around the same time people were wearing jersey dresses, which has also been revived with the jersey trend. Well I've noticed recently that they are making a come back. Whether you like it or not, it seems the Timberland heels are again relevant.

Ri Ri's Fall 2013 River Island Collection.

I must say Miss Rihanna, you are becoming quite the designer. This trumps the Summer line ridiculously. Yes, the first collection had some edge and funk, but it wasn't distinguishable from the rest and it was pretty simple. This right here? I will be on time for.

Adam Selman, Rihanna's co-designer, told Vogue "The way I approach winter style is to layer up summer clothes, and Rihanna does the same." This is probably why we see the crop tops, high slits, and cut-outs. It may be cooling off outside, but we mustn't neglect the sexy.

Celebs Out and About: Beyonce, Rihanna, and Rita Ora.

The Roc is in the building

Hey guys! Hope your weekend was fabulous. Mine was pretty simple...stayed at home, cleaned up, and Netflixed to my heart's content. Nothing feels more refreshing than a clean house. Anyway, let's leave bores-ville and head to blackcelebritywomensingers-ville.

In recent months, Beyonce has stepped her fashion game all the way up. She was spotted headed to Kanye's birthday party in a striped Top Shop two-piece. She accented the look with orange heels. She's pretty much got the "black and white with random colored heels" thing down. And it looks great on her. Plus her body is ridic as usual.

Rihanna Instagramed herself rocking Balmain while at their Paris Headquarters. Trying her hardest to stick that lil butt out. She's a mess ain't she? Well she stopped by to get an exclusive look at some of their new looks and hang with Creative Director Olivier Rousteing. She must be hitting up all the iconic fashion houses seeing as though she was just at Chanel snapping photos left and right. The life, I tell ya.

I've got 2 Rita Ora looks because she has been looking too cute. In the first look, Rita's in Manchester at a festival wearing a Stella Mccartney blouse with matching shorts and 3.1 Phillip Lim Black over the knee boot sandals. I love the boot/ sandal merge. The second look really takes the cake though. With ruffles and intricate beading , she captured the essence of the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London with this grey Marchesa gown. Hair, make-up, everything. Werk.

Get Familiar With the Baggy Leather Look.

Leather pants are nothing new, but these drawstring leather jogging pants for the ladies? Yea I'll be on time for that. Spring 2013 welcomes the baggy leather pants with open arms.  Aaliyah taught us many moons ago how sexy a pair of baggy pants can be if done correctly. And these ladies are certainly keeping it sexy, but comfortable. Beyonce, Rihanna, Gwen....all rocking the new trend . I love the way Gwen looks with her wedges and blue jean leather jacket. That girl, I swear....too much cool.

The baggy (but not ridiculously baggy) style will be popular in a lot pants this season. Like with soft fitted sweatpants. Try wearing those with a pair of simple heels.

Anywho, if you want to try this trend and grab some slouchy leather pants OR shorts, let me direct you:
- Sparkle and Fade faux leather trousers on sale $39
- Lucca Couture leather running shorts (adorable!) $39
- Adidas black leather track pants (Yes, please) $248
- Faux Leather mini shorts (If you're a budget baller) ~11

Cool Sweatshirts via Tribal Paradise.

If you aren't familiar with the online mega-store Etsy, which allows you to host your own shop and sell merch, get familiar. There are a ton of interesting items and cheap buys. Think Ebay, but with a little more structure.

Anywho, while surfing my usual websites this morning, I came across an adorable sweatshirt that I need in my life immediately. A Mary-Kate and Ashley sweatshirt with "Thug Life" printed on it? Come to mama. It's kind've funny bc my sister was obsessed with M-K& A for like a million years, and we pretty much watched/ owned all of their movies and TV shows....and acted scenes out, and generally got weak at the commentary and silly songs. We also admired every little thing they wore, mostly in their teenage years when all their straight to video movies were coming out. Ode to joy.

Tribal Paradise is selling a plethora of printed black sweatshirts, including this Mary-Kate and Ashley one, Rihanna, Lana del Rey, Frank Ocean, Cudi, and more....each at only $20. The price really can't be beat. If you're interested, click here for their shop. They won't be selling sweatshirts past April 1st.

Rihanna for River Island Debuts at London Fashion Week.

London Fashion Week popped off, and Rihanna subsequently p-popped in delight due to her debut Rihanna x River Island collection with co-designer Adam Selman. She was reportedly a hour late to her 10 minute show, which has given some fashion folks the salty face. People were trying to say "What do you expect? It's Rihanna" and what not, BUT honestly being young or raunchy does not excuse professionalism. Don't give people a reason to hate, especially when you work is good. Surprise some folks and be on your A-Game with the business, and party hard during your free time. But I digress.....

The collection was actually pretty cool though, brought out to a soundtrack of "Clique", "Fucking Problems" and "Fresh Off the Runway." It was simple, but effective. Of course it wasn't going to be the most high fashion thing you've ever witnessed in life, but it was fun and pretty fly, and I, my friend, can not be mad at it.  Very Rihanna and adorable.

Extra high splits, denim on denim, bra tops, and etc. I have to say that I liked it. The pieces were really simple, but swaggy, with backwards baseball caps, bandanas, and shirts tied at the waist here and there. Not typical things you'd expect from a runway show, but hey, it's her first line. We'll expect more next time.

Watch her show here.

Terry Richardson's Rolling Stone Outtakes with Rihanna.

Terry Richardson, the photographer behind many of Rih Rih's photoshoots, released some outtakes from his and Rihanna's latest shoot for Rolling Stone.  They show the duo goofing around while Rihanna channels a skinny Missy Elliot with her baggy trashbag-esque jacket and bucket hat. And Terry Richardson with the thumbs up...he's so adorable though, lol. Of course Rihanna is smoking on something...anything...as long as it smokes. And her tongue and boobs are out. Anybody surprised?

The only interesting thing about this shoot is that Egyptian tattoo. Somehow I missed that one. I'm getting just a smidge bored with Rihanna. The music is still great, but she's boxed herself into this category where I feel like her shoots are either extremely sexualized or just nice looking. Where has the creativity gone? Her shoots are always only about showcasing her body. I just want her to think outside the box a bit. To much to ask? But the pictures are amazing though.

Take a peek below:

Rihanna Will Unveil New Fashion Line at London Fashion Week.

During London Fashion week next month, our favorite bad girl Rih Rih will unveil her first clothing line with British brand River Island. I expect it to be highkey badass, lowkey "high fashion". It'll most likely be ready to wear urban glam, thuggish ruggish Bone type shit.

“Launching at London Fashion Week is a dream come true for me,” said Rihanna. ” I have wanted to design my own collection for a long time and to present my collection for River Island alongside all of the other great design talent at LFW is a real privilege. I can’t wait to see the reaction from my fans and the fashion press!”

Her collection of clothes and accessories for River Island will debut February 16 at an invite-only catwalk show. Items will be available at River Island in Great Britain and will hit the US and Japan through Opening Ceremony starting March 5. I'm a little excited to see what ideas she comes up with for her line. One of the only sneak peaks we have is the navy jumpsuit she was seen rocking last month, which can be seen below.

So what do you think? Are you excited, curious, or just meh?

Most Fashionable People of 2012.

A$AP Rocky
I've realized that people try to play A$AP on the fashion tip. Take note
of this young man because he has it. Not only is he talented musically,
but he always looks dope. I feel like he takes major fashion
risks and executes nicely. He also is the only person I allow
to wear his hair like that. :)

Rihanna
'Nuff said

Solange
Hello Solo my doll. I probably featured Solange on
The Pretty Mustache a million times in 2012. Her love of African
inspired prints was fun and fresh. And her natural
hair styles were perfect compliments.

Kanye
I mean really though, nobody else does what Kanye does. As a black
man AND a rapper..shit, as a human, he really stretches the
boundaries of  what's normal...and I love him for it. 

Miroslava Duma
This is my girl right here. It never fails, she keep it trill
and always looks like a certified dime fresh off the
runway. I do not want to see her closet. I would
be too upset with my life.

Beyonce
We all know Beyonce is that chick, but I never pegged her as a fashionista
 until 2012 where she kinda came out of nowhere killing it. Baddie Bey,
on the Instagram circuit, really showed a new side of herself.
Mama likes.

GQ's Men of the Year Cover featuring Rihanna.

My Lord, this child is just... When all else fails, get naked.

This is nothing for Rihanna. She loves being naked.
Maybe it's the island in her, but we certainly aren't complaining.
It is a bit predictable though.

Rihanna revealed her latest cover; the December GQ "Men of the Year" issue on her Instagram...wearing only a short black leather jacket and tattoos.

It seems we've been seeing and hearing a lot about Rihanna lately. Most likely because her 7th album "Unapologetic" comes out next week on November 19th. Are you feeling the cover, or do you feel some type of way about her nakedness?

More nakedness below:

Rihanna in Vintage Chanel Paris Logo Sunglasses.

Rihanna was spotted yesterday headed to Da Silvano restaurant  in fabulous vintage "Chanel Paris" logo sunglasses.  I love how fashion is cyclical, because these frames totally fit the times. I am really crushing on them.

You can find the glasses here.

Later that evening, she went out to celebrate stylist Ursula Stephen’s birthday party.  Rihanna, Ursula, and Taraji looked like they had a great time.  Ursula was wearing a winter white dress while Rihanna and Taraji were all black and leathered out. I think Taraji looked fabulous btw.

Check out the pics below:

Ri Ri's Vogue Cover.

Rihanna snagged the November cover of Vogue Magazine, making this her second cover of American Vogue, and her third Vogue cover overall. Rihanna is definitely one of the hardest working women doing it right now. It seems like she just released "Talk That Talk", and now, yet another album "Unapologetic."
..which is quite fitting given her recent hookup with Ex-bf Chris Brown.

She never stops going. And I am NOT mad at her grind. Plus she looks gorgeous on the cover and her eyes are hypnotizing. Alright, alright, alriiiiight.

Rihanna Leaving the Recording Studio in New York.

Rih Rih was spotted Tuesday night leaving the recording studio in New York. She was wearing a Givenchy "American Dream" tee and what looks like some extremely high Louboutin boots. I like the look, but I must say I don't know if I'm loving the hair anymore.

Sometimes it looks good, and other times, it looks a little undone. Either way, she still styling....while stealing Chris Brown back. Lawd help her.

More pics below:

Rihanna Wearing KENZO Paris in London.

Rihanna was spotted in London last night wearing a KENZO Paris tiger logo top and printed medallion orange trousers.

Kenzo has such fabulous things, its ridiculous. The patterns and silhouettes are just...uh. Adorable. I like this look on her: simple orange designer top, and orange trousers to match. A great monochromatic theme that works.
