So, everyone's been following the Chris Brown & Rihanna abuse story. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has a view or heard a rumor. Has anyone stopped and took a moment to realize how Rihanna still looks like a diva, despite all the bullsh** that's happened over the past month? According to popeater.com photos of Rihanna in Manhattan looking like a true D.I.V.A. with destroyed skinny jeans, stilletos, a tank top, & a crocheted jacket with the fir lining. Let's not forget the sunglasses in the middle of the night. Abused or not, let this be a symbol that women can remain strong and beautiful amidst all the drama life can bring.
Since her ascension to the pop/r&b throne, her style has taken a turn for the glamorous. Think back to her debut in 2005. I was still in high school and believed her bra and half-shirt paired with fitted (at the hip) "mens" jeans and chuck taylors was the sexiest look on a female. She topped it off with the long blonde weave and the island tanned glitter stomach. The same tomboyish style appeared in her next video, "If It's Loving That You Want" and slowly faded out towards the end of her first two albums. Once we saw her in "Unfaithful" we sat back and was like, D.A.M.N. baby girl has grown up.
Umbrella, (ella ella) was the shock everyone was waiting for. We all knew Ri Ri was gorgeous but seeing it was even better than imagining. She came forth with the long bob hairstyle...then the jet black hair paired with the dark eye makeup, makes her so edgy and so sexy, im glad she stuck with this look. The hair has become shorter and the fashion. W.O.W. She's sexed it up without losing the "punk" influence. Take this snapshot for instance...Rihanna (post-CB)
Ri Ri, after a night of semi-clubbing...not chic or glam'd up but still maintaining some of that edge we all love to see her in. Her recent hair choice has been bothering me. The long wave'd curls that somehow relate themselves into her bob...idk. But, it's Ri Ri, I promise to see that hairstyle on one or two people in the near future.
Okay, I'm going to leave you with another "spotting" April 3rd. Ri Ri headed to Barbados...
Check out the $700 Louis V sunglasses. So added to my wishlist.
Fashion | What is it to you? Is it your personal sense of style, what kind of clothes you find visually appealing? Or is it couture gowns, high-priced shirts, pants, jackets & shoes paired with lavish accessories?
Well, fashion is simply "what you make it." If you enjoy spending thousands of dollars on name brand items or just hundreds in your local mall, that's your prerogative. Not everyone has the ability to walk down all the fashion avenues of America and Europe and drop their hard earned money at boutiques and salons. The universal view of fashion, designer and consumer alike, is an expression of self. A consistent outfit of jeans and a v-neck t-shirt expresses relaxation versus a pair of stilettos with every outfit which offers the constant presentation of femininity.
Who am I? (That's one secret I'll never tell...lol) Sorry, Gossip Girl moment. I am just another southern city girl with dreams of NYC and LA. My fashion? It's a mixture of the dark and the light. I tend to wear a lot of black and white, which we all know are very basic colors. I mean, they go with every thing. DUH! Occasionally, I throw on the tightest of jeans with an amazingly sexy top and a pair of platform heels. Let's compare my style to a celebrity, maybe you'll understand better. Hmm...Rihanna mixed with Keri Hilson. Wanna relate it to a city, a Brooklyn rockstar with Upper East Side goals. (Erin from the City meets Serena Van der Woodsen). I'm very relaxed a lot of the time, with an emo/dark edge, but able to sex it up when required. I love high fashion, can't necessarily afford it every day, but it is an obsession.
This blog is my opinion and my views on the fashions of today. I take inspiration from magazines and photos but all words printed here are my opinion, along with my ideas that would make a great outfit. Hopefully this blog becomes a success. Fashion is what I love and writing is my life. So, maybe the marriage between the two will be worthwhile.
ENJOY!
