Ciara was spotted out in New York a day after Met Gala festivities rocking a nude mini dress and sporting a pair of $798 Stuart Weitzman grey Highland Knee High Boots:
The boot features a pull-in drawstring at the top. 3.25 inch heel, and a leather footbed with rubber sole.
If you’re looking to recreate this Spring-time ready look, you can purchase a pair of the heels here.
What do you think? Would you splurge for a pair of these heels?
Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock high-stepped for a night out on the town in a $65 Missguided Ladder Mesh High Neck Sheer Black Jumpsuit, a berry lip and strappy black heels.
The fashion-forward frock features flared bottoms, partial lining and a slim fit. Although the singer’s exact look is sold out, I found a similar piece!
As seen below, the Missguided Sheer Lace Knicker Jumpsuit boasts the same effect but also includes a low-cut neckline and horizontal detailing. It retails for only $76. Get yours here!
Cute!

We’re gonna kick off today with some #BlackGirlMagic!
I’ve discovered that my city (hey Houston!) houses some amaaazzziinnggg talent! A Leap of Style is a brand that I’ve followed for quite some time and I quickly became a loyal fan. Founder and designer Karissa Lindsay is a sartorial visionary and her talent is simply unparalleled. With that, I’m honored to introduce The Bayou City’s own A Leap of Style‘s Spring & Summer 2016 Collection!
As an owner of a gorgeous skater dress from A Leap of Style, this post is somewhat personal. I can honestly say that this brand is perfect for the woman who wants to make a statement. If you’re a fashionista who loves whimsical prints and eccentric silhouettes, you’re in for a treat! The current collection is every bit of fun and carefree but there’s also an edgy, in-your-face vibe that comes across so effortlessly. It’s beyond stunning!
Surprisingly, there is also a mini-collection within SS16 called The Embellished Truths Collection. It is a 7 piece collection featuring pieces that reflect more of Karissa’s true design lens, but also feature some really special fabrics like the hot pink raw silk mini with a mirrored trim, or the Zola Tunic which is also a pink lace tunic embellished with 3D flowers, and there’s the star of the collection so far: the Birds of a Feather Shorts which are crafted from a jewel-toned silk brocade and have a ruffled hem.
Prices are pretty reasonable as well – with pieces ranging from $30 to $250. But, let me tell you, you certainly get a bang for your buck!
Yes! Want to see more from A Leap of Style? Well, follow this bomb brand via Instagram at @ALeapOfStyle or visit the official shop here!

Following on last month’s installment of our Breaking Into Business series, we sat down with another trailblazing business leader, Myleik Teele, Founder and CEO of curlBOX, a subscription service for naturally curly hair. From starting in public relations to launching her own entrepreneurial venture, Myleik’s career journey thus far has been more than enviable — it has been truly encouraging and we were #blessed to hear her story.
Myleik grew up in Inglewood, California, and later graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Consumer and Family Science and a strong desire to pursue a job she “loved from the very beginning.” She revealed that “since graduating [from] college, [she] always had a job that [she] liked.” Her advice: “Go do what you like to do – you don’t have to sit and be miserable…you may not be able to make as much in the beginning, [but] what [you will] learn [will be] immeasurable.” Before curlBOX became a tour de force, one of Myleik’s earliest jobs was in public relations. She earned her stripes for over ten years in the space before launching her own boutique PR firm, Art of Facts Public Relations in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009.
curlBOX developed out of a need to bring the best in hair care to naturally curly bombshells everywhere! On a monthly basis, curlBOX sends subscribers a curated box of curly hair products straight to their doorsteps. I got a bit of scoop on the May curlBOX Body featuring cover star Taren Guy (on sale May 4th!), chock-full of spa essentials. Of course, with such admirable natural hair herself, I had to ask Myleik about what hair care products she is loving the most. Her “favorites vary by the week,” but the week of our interview, her bomb products included “Naturally Smitten, Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1, Ouidad Double Detangler, and anything OGX Beauty.”
In addition to launching a beauty business, Myleik is behind what I call a motivational movement: #MyTaughtYou. If you haven’t yet heard of the hashtag, it is a compilation of inspirational quips and lessons learned over the course of Myleik’s career. Her honest musings led her to create the #MyTaughtYou journal and a phenomenal podcast series in 2011 that “started with 11 listeners in a month and now [has] over 75,000 downloads a week!” With no intention to make money, she created the MyTaughtYou journal as it was “the exact journal [she] had used for 7 to 8 years” and she wanted to share her method to achieve personal and professional goals with others. She shared, “I am the ultimate consumer of content… I’ve loved magazines from my childhood. I want to put out what I see in my way, I’ve always believed I have something to say…it always blows my mind that people want to listen.”
Given her deep well of wisdom, I had to hear Myleik’s Top 5 positive habits:
One look at Myleik’s Instagram account gives you all the inspirational feels. When asked about #blackgirlmagic, she offered, “For me, it means all the extra-special things about black women given the special circumstances we face every day – we face challenges with hair, body type, and facial features and we are still looking fabulous and beautiful. We are going to college at higher rates and starting businesses.” My final question for Myleik, what would she do with $20 on a Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia? Her answer: “I’m going to The Sole Spa in Buckhead for a foot massage. I walk out feeling like heaven!” If you want to learn more about curlBOX, check it out here and follow @curlBOX and Myleik on Instagram!
