Man Crush Monday #MCM: August Alsina

You would think that this 25-year-old soulful singer and New Orleans native, August Alsina has been in the music industry for some time, but no, he’s just getting warmed up. With only being signed to Def Jam Records for two years, it’s hard to believe that his credibility as an artist has skyrocketed to the level it has. With his unique style, one can’t help but delve into the looks of this handsome man with the stunning smile. His admirable persona has even lead him to become a close family friend to some of the top legends in the entertainment industry (namely Will and Jada Pinkett Smith) as he’s always seen spending quality time with the Smith family. Armed with an unwavering confidence and a vibrant southern swag, it’s only fitting that August be named our Man Crush of the Day.

His pride in his individuality allows him to be adventurous with his natural hair. Fans have sometimes “Hmm’ed…” at his choices of varied hairstyles. He has laid edges, braids, twitsts, rocked both short and long  ‘dos, and even a perm.

Also noteworthy in his hairstyle arsenal, would be is once signature man-bun. He rocked that with the fierceness!

Alsina’s style is underrated. He has a very suave Japanese street style that separates him sartorially from most artists. He is comfortable with his image and is emboldened by his signature fashion forwardness.

One of the singer’s other signature looks is his headgear, specifically head wraps. He wears it typically tied to the side with his neatly laid hair to complete his looks.

Alsina loves to finish off his ‘fit with outer layer pieces including trench coats, bomber jackets and more.

Prints are a big deal to this crooner and he shows a great affinity for those that embody sleek and graphic prints. He’s been seen in many bold and vibrant ensembles that include jacquard to color block, florals and more.

This stunner loves a variety of sunglasses. He’s even signed a collection deal with A.D.S.R.

He looks great in ever pair!

Check out more looks from the handsome Alsina below!

Gotta love August Alsina for his originiality! Check out more images in the gallery!

Real Street Style: Bahamas Fashion Week 2017 by Shawn T Photography

Happy Saturday!

I touched down in Nassau, Bahamas for their very first Bahamas Fashion Week! I’m on the scene taking in local designers, eating great food, and also capturing street style with photographer Shawn T. Take a look at who he captured last night:

Bombshell Keywonah was resplendent in an off white ensemble, topped off by a turban.


Gustavus Cox aka @_WorldRenown cut a fine form in a salmon hued suit.

Ife aka @ifevlogs worked yellow and houndstooth. Yes, abs!

This fashion show goer uplifted an LBD with a denim jacket and a furry clutch.

Plaid is certainly on trend, as witnessed with the red plaid and yellow look.

Lastly, photographer Shawn T himself and his friend @_Maldawg worked red and green and dope shades.
Today, I’ll be speaking on a panel and taking in the last day of Bahamas Fashion Week! Stay tuned for the full report next week.

Until then, what do you think of style from Bahamas Fashion Week?

Look of the Week (The Top 5 Most Liked Looks on Instagram): Zendaya in Teresa Helbig, Kerry Washington in Roberto Cavalli, Kris Jenner in Dolce & Gabbana, and More!

Hey, y’all! Hope you all had a splendid week. I am exceptionally excited to share with you who had the top looks on Instagram based on your likes. Of course, it’s a treat every week, but I think you’ll be just as enthused as I am when you get through with this recap. Shall we?

1. Zendaya in Teresa Helbig: 33,465 Likes

I haven’t seen a flip curl since it’s resurgence back in the early 2000s, but leave to to Zendaya and her talented stylist, Law Roach, to push the envelope a bit and take us back to Jackie-O’s signature ‘do. She kept with the vintage vibe and wore a pastel high neck top by Teresa Helbig paired with showstopping high waisted sequins pants. What is not to love?!

2. Kerry Washington in Roberto Cavalli: 12,998 Likes

Is there really much I need to say for this? I mean, Kerry Washington was literally popping in this bomb floral pant suit by Roberto Cavalli. How perfect is this suit for the fall season?All the luscious colors and prints just gives all the feels. She was a vision with a vibrant smile to match. I’m quite sure she stole the show with this one!

3. Kris Jenner in Dolce and Gabbana: 11,499 Likes

You guys, say what you want about the Kardashians, but you cannot deny mama Kris’ tenacity for life. All her hard work has rewarded her with one heck of a life and it shows. Daughter, Kim, dropped a bombshell on us when she posted this pic of Kris in a new blonde ‘do, serving for the gods, dripped in a plush fur stole. As if that weren’t enough, she wore a stunning Dolce and Gabbana floral silk ensemble and played on the red with a killer pair of red boots and a Birkin to match. Bravo, mama Kris!

4. Cassie & Diddy in Dsquared and Tom Ford: 10,158 Likes

Cassie and Diddy attended Guy Oseary’s wedding in Rio looking like the dynamic duo that they are with Cassie in a Dsqaured floral ensemble and Diddy suited up in Tom Ford. As we all know, Diddy prides himself in his dapper appearance and I’d say he’s got every right. The iridescent suit jacket was a great choice to celebrate nuptials from the plethora of Tom Ford selections we’ve seen.

Cassie on the other hand loves to mix risqué with a bit of edge hence the lace bustier and drool worthy Dsqaured floral leather jacket. Did you catch the matching sheer high low skirt with the train? Love! Rarely do you ever see one without the other and it’s quite the treat for us when we catch them on the fly, so we’re not mad at it!

5. Lala in Rani Zakhem: 9,232 Likes

Lala looked radiant in a Rani Zakhem gown at the Angel Ball. What a gorgeous design! I love how it graduates from a dark shimmer to a vibrant gold. One thing for sure is that Lala knows how to shake it up and serve on all levels.

Adored all these looks!
