Zendaya isn’t taking ish from anyone!
Yesterday, she took to Instagram to call out Modaliste Magazine for slimming down her hips and torso.
She wrote, “Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have. Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it?? Thank you @modelistemagazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue.” Seriously, can more young women be like Zendaya?
While pop stars of our generation totally shirk their ‘role model’ responsibilities, acting irresponsibly despite their huge popularity, Zendaya puts her foot down. Bold, bossy, brainy, she is a welcome dose of fresh air. I live for her!
You might find it hard to believe, but it’s difficult to find fashion focused artwork featuring women of color. As I’ve attempted to decorate my apartment (it’s a work in progress), I’ve struggled to find pieces that speak directly to me. So I was elated to learn about Mae B.
The Bombshell creates stationary, holiday cards, notebooks, and travel tags with illustrations of beautiful brown girls.
Though she doesn’t sell prints (yet), her pieces are certainly frame worthy.
Personalized stationary rings in at around $20; allow 3-5 business days for delivery.
I feel like it’s been for-ever since I’ve posted. But, I’m back today with another installment of our Bomb Blogger feature. So, let’s get into the sartorial musings by Clarissa Henry of Vintage Doll Risa!
Initially, I discovered Clarissa via Bloglovin’. She popped up under a “recommended” category and (out of curiosity) I took a quick detour to her blog. Only starting her blog back in April 2014, I was impressed with her sleek layout and stunning photos but it was her laid-back and street-savvy style that stole my heart.
Clarissa’s look is unique. I love the fact that she can rock a pair of Adidas shell-toes with feminine pieces while still incorporating a bit of personality into her ‘fit. This blogger’s wardrobe staples include athletic wear, sharp pops of color, amazing high-waisted trousers and endless sneakers. She’s a breath of fresh air, honestly.
Slay on, hun!

A crafty Beyonce fan took a selfie backstage at the TIDAL X: 1020 Amplified Concert, and caught Beyonce, Blue Ivy, and Julius in the background! Beyonce looked cute and comfy in a $1,690 Valentino Geometric Print Sweater:
Her sweater features a round neck and long sleeves.
Kim Kardashian West attended CFDA/Vogue’s Fashion Fund Show and Tea at Chateau Marmont in LA in her favorite Tom Ford gold chain sandals and an Altuzarra Fall 2015 velvet devore skirt:
She grabbed a pic with Vogue US’s Anna Wintour.
Altuzarra’s Fall 2015 collection was chock full of high slit skirts, and this piece was no exception. See pieces with similar fabrication below.
She looks cute! And get into the optical illusion of her skirt: where did her belly go?
What do you think?
The TIDAL X: 1020 Amplified is going down right now at Barclays Center in Brooklyn! Our favorite songstresses, stylish crooners, rappers, sports stars, and more are in the building of course.
Fabolous repped for his city in a black leather Knicks jersey and round shades.
Confession: I think it’s cute when couples wear matching colors! Recently-engaged duo Lira Galore and Rick Ross did just that, with the rapper in a supple red leather jacket and the brunette babe mixing high and low in a $65 Topshop Stripe Turtleneck Dress and $850 Gucci Sandals. Great looking couple!
Skylar Diggins slipped on a long-sleeve, colorblock jumpsuit with sheer insets.
Justine Skye gave an artful spin to the classic black and white combo in a printed, billowing look. Hot!
T.I. sported an on-trend Stormtrooper motif fitted cap and a zebra-sleeve varsity jacket. I liked this.
The BALMAIN X H&M Collection is one of the most talked-about collaborations of the year! You know that means everyone showed up for the assortment’s launch party with supermodels, stylish reality TV stars, singers, actors, and more in attendance.
Let’s get into their ensembles shall we?
Jourdan Dunn looked every bit the model in a fanciful belted vest, bandeau, leather skinnies, and those already-coveted strappy sandals from the collection.
June Ambrose opted for dark romance in a tuxedo blazer, sheer black lace gown, purple cap-toe boots, and a Tom Ford Natalia bag. This was chic!
We all knew at least a couple of the Kardashian-Jenner girls were going to show up to support their favorite fashion house! Kylie Jenner chose the collection’s long-sleeve velvet embroidered mini dress. One of the standouts in the collection for sure.
Older sister Kendall flaunted her toned midriff in a black bandeau layered under a velvet blazer, a pair of the brand’s trademark harem trousers, and a statement-making gold necklace. I would wear this right now!
Gigi Hadid was a bit more pared-down than I would have expected. The only exceptional piece in her getup was the black leather and gold stud embellished jacket.
Ne-Yo looked ready for Fall in a black knit beanie, double-breasted blazer, zipper-accented pants, and silver cap toe boots. I think this might be my favorite look ever from the crooner!
The Wiz Live! actor Elijah Kelley looked quite dapper in a timeless contrast shawl collar blazer, textured button-front shirt, skinny trousers, and black leather brogues.
Alek Wek was pretty in pink in a glossy quilted frock from the brand and the sandals of the night. Hot dress!
Lewis Hamilton uplifted an all-black ensemble with a black and gold embroidered leather jacket. I loved this jacket, but the rest of the ‘fit wasn’t to my liking…
Diane Kruger slipped on one of the brand’s signature silhouettes: a velvet long-sleeve jumpsuit. A pair of black pointed-toe pumps here would’ve completed this ensemble perfectly.
