Newly engaged crooner Christina Milian popped up last night in NYC for a Grey Goose and BET event:
She went for a rocker/retro vibe with two toned hair and a patterned black and white shirt set off by a gray metallic skirt, red belt, and neon nails.
There’s quite a lot going on with the outfit, but her hot light wash denim jacket seems to pull it all together.
What do you think? Is it hot or does it make you go hmm….
Trendsetter Rihanna stepped out recently in a new look that even she doesn’t look happy with:
A blue doily like hat set to match her denim strapless dress and blue pumps:
She looks mad, doesn’t she? Granted, she’s probably more upset at the poparrazzi than her stylist, but who knows?
Fashion Forward Lady Gaga is known for rocking with out the box toppers:
Will you be following this trend?
Hey hey hey!

Hey Bombers!
So in light of Solange’s courageous cut, I thought it would be cool to tap Erin from the dope blog Scandalous Beauty to tell us how best to transition from permed to natural hair.
Enjoy!

Hey Fashion Bombers!
I’m so honored to be here and give you advice for your potential transition from relaxed to natural hair. I’m amazed at the increasing numbers of women who are rocking afros, locs, twists and things of the like. I transitioned to natural hair 3 years ago, and needless to say, I’ve had quite an interesting journey.
I loved sleek styles, from curly up-do’s to short crops. But, I had to take the leap to natural hair after I noticed my hair was getting thinner and breaking off constantly.
To transition to natural hair you have so many options! You can simply stop getting relaxers, and let your natural hair grow while taking care of your relaxed hair. If you’re feeling really bold, you can chop it all off and sport a low cut!
Hey, it’s quick and easy!
What I opted to do was to wear braids, cornrows, weaves and wigs while transitioning. I would cut off a few inches of relaxed hair and then cover it with a different style. I transitioned for almost a year without ever wearing my real hair out in public. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the best products for my hair. Here are a few of my faves:
1. Carol’s Daughter Hair Balm ($12, www.sephora.com) was one of the products that I loved to use on my ‘fro:
It made my hair soft and shiny while adding moisture. My hair loved the shea butter and oil mix, and it worked best when my hair was damp.
2. Even though this costs an arm and a leg, I used the Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercream ($58 for 16 oz, www.missjessies.com) as a moisturizer:
It smells heavenly and a little definitely goes a long way.
3. My holy grail hair care line is Oyin Handmade ($10-$20, www.oyinhandmade.com):
I was on a quest for all natural products, and this line came highly recommended. I started out using their sample pack, which included Honey Hemp Conditioner, Greg Juice, Whipped Pudding and Shine ‘N Define. I haven’t looked back. As the years went on I bought more and more of their products, and in February I made the switch to using their products almost exclusively.
Once your hair is fully natural, there are a lot of things that will change from your old beauty routine. You should only comb your hair with a wide tooth comb while wet, preferably while drenched in conditioner. There may be times that your hair feels extra dry–this can be a major deterrent, but don’t give up! Try adding oils to your conditioners, and occasionally spraying your hair with a mix of glycerine and water.

Hey Bombers!
23-year-old Kelly from Brooklyn, NY sent us the following shot, which I thought was perfect for Beauty Tuesday:
She says, “My lipstick is Glam by M.A.C, nails, Lincoln After Dark by OPI, and my sequined beret is from Bebe!”
What a gorgeous shot! This looks like it could be a Covergirl Ad!

Hey!
So this weekend I hit up a pop up shop for dope brand Cool Cats (www.coolcats.fr). Designed by members of the Ed Banger music label (think Daftpunk, Justice, Uffie), the line comprises fun graphic t-shirts, sneaks, and jewelry.
I caught fashionista Azadi outside the venue as she smoked a cigarette on a scooter (tres Francais):
The Parisian student said she had a very laid back style, and normally rocks sneakers with jeans or simple dresses.
Chic!
Check out a few more pics from the event:

Joe, Chico Debarge, and Ginuwine performed this past weekend at New York’s Central Park Summerstage, so I decided to take it back with one of Joe’s hottest hits, Stutter:
Joe is still looking quite dapper…
Yum! And enjoy:)
