Elle Magazine honored the beautiful Kerry Washington at an event where the starlette rocked a floral dress from Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2016 collection:
Her dress, which is still not available yet (UGH) features a high-collar and multi-colored floral embroidery throughout.
I think…I need this dress in my life and that Kerry did this dress JUSTICE. It is absolutely stunning.
But what do you guys think? Hot or Hmm?
What do Eva Marcille, Laura Govan and Karrueche Tran all have in common? Besides their great style, they all love House of CB’s $214 Moren Dusky Pink Wool Mix Long Length Coat.
Friday night Eva Marcille was spied on the Black Girls Rock red carpet in the House of CB Basia khaki jumpsuit, complimented with the Moren coat.
Two weeks ago Laura Govan showed off her chic hitch-hiking skills wearing the same coat with Levi’s jeans and a Marina Hoermanseder basket weave corset.
Karrueche Tran started the trend during New York Fashion Week when she wore hers with a Francesco Scognamiglio jumpsuit.
This just might be the perfect outerwear piece to fully transition you into the spring season.
You can shop the look here. What do you think? How would you rock the ‘Moren’ coat?

While there are many award shows and celebrations that take place, very few are as vital and necessary to people of color as #BlackGirlsRock. With its 10th Anniversary, this year proved to be moving, inspiring, and of course, fashionable! Let’s check out some of the hot looks of the night:
Naturi Naughton stunned in a canary-yellow one-shoulder dress with metallic glass-like shards down the sleeve by CDGreene. She looks amazing!
Skai Jackson showed us how to colorblock with flair for the Spring in a yellow top, orange pants, and cobalt blue pumps.
Yara Shahidi rocked a white jumpsuit, offsetting it with red open-toed shoes and a red leather jacket. I love this look so much!

Tatiana Ali showed off her cute baby bump in a Zac Posen cobalt blue dress.
Justine Skye showed off her beautiful chocolate skin in a white crop top and open-cut white pants, both by Jonathan Simkhai. I think the pants could have used a little more tailoring, but she’s beautiful nonetheless.
Rihanna received the Rockstar Award at Black Girls Rock, sporting a head to toe look from Miu Miu Fall 2016, with a huge fur coat, blue menswear-inspired button-up, white shorts, and black shoes with bedazzlement in the front. At first I was NOT a fan, but this look grew on me. What do you guys think?
Jazmine Sullivan performed at the Awards, but hit the red carpet in a sexy black number with a sheer panel at the bottom, mermaid style. Rock on Jazmine!
Teyonah Parris looked beautiful (what’s new?) in a gold sequined dress by Jani Khosla. BEAUTIFUL.

Kelly Rowland slaaaayed in a white jumpsuit by Brandon Maxwell that feaured a plunging V neckline (gotta show the girls off! and nude pumps. I wanted a different hairstyle for her, but she still gave me life.
Monica brought her little one with her to the show, paired in a black mesh top and green thigh-slit skirt both by Balmain, and Sophia Webster shoes. You better slay as a mother, Monica!
Corinne Bailey Rae rocked a feathery dress.
Another honoroee Danai Gurira strutted her stuff in a white jumpsuit with gold heels. Effortless!
Honoree and performer for the night Gladys Knight looked Ah-mazing in a dark rich-hued blue dress with matching heels and a stunning pearl necklace. Gladys ain’t lost it, at all!

Amal Clooney went bold while out and about in NYC—wearing an Akris Fall 2016 Orange Ribbed Cashmere Tunic Dress and $2,995 Maison Margiela White 5AC Tote Bag:
Her dress was paired with an orange monotone cape, matching boots, and a coordinating crossbody bag.
Her white grained leather bag can be carried as a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or handheld satchel: talk about versatility! The shoulder strap can also be attached to the exposed lining, the bag’s body, or removed altogether for more wearing options.
I love her style!
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

One of our favorite style mavens, EJ Johnson, has just landed his own reality TV show with E! The six-episode series will be a spinoff of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, starting up after the show’s season 4 finale:

If you’re shooting for something pretty and dainty, you can always bet on Lace. While some may think (much like the fishnet stocking), lace can be too risque or sexy to appear classy, we beg to differ!

Lili wrote, “My name is Lili and I’m a new designer; I’ll be launching the @truaura collection soon. Here are a couple of pieces showcased in this pic. Would love to be featured on your blog as I am a lace fiend! Thank you kindly in advance! :)” Yes to both looks!
Kari, or @chicagoings, said, “In a city like Chicago, it can be hot one day and freezing the next. I love wearing lace dresses with sleeves which work perfectly no matter the season.”
Esther, or @Be_ezie said, “My name is Esther and came across “how to wear lace post” would like to submit mine. Thanks for creating a platform to showcase personal style.” Love that skirt and that fur Esther!

Peace and Blessings to the weekend ahead.
#HappyFriday!
We’re still reeling from yesterday’s Beyonce takeover but (as always) it’s time to get into our favorite celebrity looks!
Ready?
1) Rihanna in The Elder Statesman
Rihanna’s ANTI Tour is on fire! Although I’ve yet to cop my tickets, I’ve heard amazing things. Earlier this week, the songstress was spotted out and about in an eccentric rainbow hued pant set by The Elder Statesman. RiRi accented her look with Manolo Blahnik pumps and Moschino sunnies. Yes!
2) Khloe Kardashian in Roberto Cavalli
Khloe Kardashian took to the ‘Gram as she she served up all types of sexiness in an August Getty Atelier silk coat and a Roberto Cavalli black sheer insert jumpsuit. The style maven completed her frock with simple black pumps and a fierce pose. Geeeessshhh! You gotta admit – she looks great!
3) Cardi B in Versailles Boutique
Next up, we have Miss Cardi B! The Love & Hip Hop New York star shut it down in a green cutout dress by Brooklyn’s own Versailles Boutique. Her gorgeous ‘fit boasts a structural flower detail, and a fitted waist. The reality starlet amped things up a bit by incorporating animal-print pumps and flawless hair. Go girl!
4) Kelly Rowland in Self Portrait
Our girl Kelly Rowland made an appearance on Good Morning America while promoting one of her new endeavors – a reality show called Chasing Destiny. The overall premise of the show is to discover the next big girl group. Cool, huh? For the occasion, the singer/actress uplifted a Self-Portrait ruffle trim daisy dress which showcases a yellow, black and white color palette, mesh detailing and sleeveless features. Hot!
5) Jennifer Lopez in Vatanika
I LIVE for a good jumpsuit! So, after spotting Jennifer Lopez in this dramatic Vatanika number, I couldn’t contain my enthusiasm. The fashionista rocked a risky trend (hey, wide legs!) but she pulled it off so effortlessly! In addition to the ethereal white hue, the jumpsuit also houses a halter neckline and a sleek silhouette. Jenny also kept her accessories to a minimum. Yaaassss!
6) Karrueche Tran in Zeena Zaki
Karrueche is everywhere! The model/actress was on hand for the Los Angeles premiere of her new film A Weekend with the Family while killing it in a golden off-the-shoulder dress by Zeena Zaki. I adored this look due its overall simplicity but I also loved the lace-up detailing and the thigh-high slit. To top things off, the fashion favorite paired her look with metallic Tom Ford sandals. Cute!
7) Tracee Ellis Ross in Ellery
The incomparable Tracee Ellis Ross rounds out this week’s contenders! A few days ago, the lovely actress graced the Today Show in a black Ellery off-the-shoulder midi dress. With expert tailoring and (on-trend) trumpet sleeves, this was one of my absolute faves! I also love the sophistication of the look. But, come on, this woman does no wrong!
Thoughts on the contenders?
