Reebok has gone out of this world, as the label is partnering with David Clark Company on an innovative shoe design made for astronauts called the Floatride Space Boot SB-01.
According to Hypebeast, Reebok is currently undergoing tests by astronauts, as this will be the first space boot innovation design in over 50 years. The creation is not only to provide modern style, but it’s purpose is to help alleviate complications of heavy footwear by utilizing ‘Floatride Foam Technology’ , as well as “accompany the space suit” to transport astronauts back and forth at the International Space Station’s Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner.
Reebok’s Director of Development says, “Reebok Floatride Foam introduced three revolutionary elements to the space boot; it decreased the overall weight significantly, brought the added support you’d expect in a running shoe, and delivered a new level of sleekness & style.”
Whether your planning a trip to outer space or not, would you rock a pair of these bad boys?

After making her debut in the blockbuster hit The Best Man, and shooting her way into our hearts after appearing in urban romance classic, Love & Basketball, this week’s beauty crush has been on Hollywood’s radar ever since. Award-winning actress Sanaa Lathan has racked up accolades with a résumé boasting everything from television to theater to film and even animation, showing her comedic side by voicing Donna Tubbs on The Cleveland Show. Though she’s a busy one, the 45 year old always allots time to get glammed up for the red carpet, always emitting a youthful effervescence about her.
Since her early days on the Hollywood scene, Sanaa has been sporting a bold lip; an affinity that has stuck with her to this day. From saucy reds to neon or pale pinks, she loves to keep things interesting without piling it on.
Sanaa loves a “less is more” aesthetic when it comes to her makeup too. Despite the lack of tinted lips at times, a good set of lashes with highlights in the the tear duct and a touch of blush is just enough. Sanaa loves a good middle part. And what woman doesn’t? It’s timeless and doesn’t usually require more than fifteen minutes to curl, shake and spray.
But she loves to kick things up a notch when it comes to her silky hair, She’s been sporting top knots and up-dos as of late, bringing attention to her almond shaped eyes.
Long, straight and cascading is good look for her too, wouldn’t you agree?
Braids for the summer? Check! From a head full of curls to box braids on the red carpet, Sanaa has proven how versatile she can be with her hair, and how gorgeous natural hairstyles are in any setting.
And yes, she’s just as gorgeous sans glam. Flawless skin and healthy hair, according to her, can come as easy as drinking lots of water, using organic lotions and body oils, and Kim Kimble haircare products.
Here’s to this week’s beauty crush, Sanaa Lathan. Hard-working, naturally beautiful, and effortlessly stylish are just some of the reasons we celebrate her. Not to mention, her makeup should be the template for girls who are over the severely contoured look.

“I do what ever the hell I want with clothes and simply rock it with sheer confidence without taking myself too seriously.”

So I just got back from a deliciously sunny, yet regrettably short stay in Nassau, Bahamas!
More than a tropical travel destination, Nassau is like another home for me, as my mother’s family is from there, and we have family who still lives there! When I go, it’s to relax, yes, but also to reconnect with my cousins, aunts, and uncles! That said, I do have a few travel tips for those who want to embark upon this beautiful island.
1. How to Get There
Jetblue has direct flights from JFK to Nassau that leave several times during the day. A few of my friends also took American Airlines and United. It’s a little under a 3 hour flight. I had zero complaints about Jetblue! Spring for the extra comfort seats, watch TV, and relax.
2. Where to Stay
Our troupe of bridesmaids was stationed at the British Colonial Hilton, which was not bad, but not great. As I mentioned in this post, I was looking for peace and quiet. Perhaps it was the weekend we chose, but the hotel was oversold. The pool and beach were small and crowded. Inside was fine, but nothing mind blowing. I’d definitely do some research if you’re looking for more of a Bomb Life experience! Many people I spoke to suggested staying at the Bahamar because it’s new and majestic.
On this trip, I discovered I’m more of a boutique hotel/AirBNB type chick. On one day, my cousins and I went to a semi private beach called Palm Cay that had a quieter beach and beautiful environs.
We ran into a few new friends from D.C. and Indianapolis (!) who said they were renting a home nearby. I’d definitely go that route next time I come to Nassau.
I heard some chatter that the Bahamian Tourism Board and Government were coming down on AirBNB, but the women I spoke to said they were able to book their home with no issue. Definitely something to consider!
3. Where to Eat
I LOVE to eat and I LOVE Bahamian food. A few things you should order: Cracked Conch, Stew Conch, Conch Salad, Fried Fish, Crab & Rice, Guava Duff…and wash it all down with some Bahamas Goombay Punch!
A few cocktails you should definitely get: Goombay Smash ( spiced rum, coconut rum, apricot brandy, pineapple juice and orange juice) and Sky Juice (Coconut Water, Evaporated Milk, and Gin or Coconut Rum, topped with cinnamon).
Where to eat all these delicacies? On day one, we went to Compass Point (West Bay Street Gambier, W Bay St, Nassau 00000, Bahamas), which is a beautiful restaurant/resort by the water.
You should also definitely stop by Arawak Cay, an area chock full of yummy restaurants and food stands.
4. What to Do
The Bahamas is definitely a place where you chillax and enjoy life…

As retail sales continue to plummet, brands are acquiring other brands. Michael Kors is the latest to join in on the trend, buying up Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion.
According to the New York Times, “Michael Kors Holdings said it had agreed to buy the shoe company Jimmy Choo for 896 million pounds, or about $1.2 billion, the latest push by an American high-end fashion house to find sources of growth in an increasingly competitive retail landscape.”
Michael Kors is expected to open new Jimmy Choo retail stores and expand their e-commerce presence.
John D. Idol, chairman and chief executive of Michael Kors, said this buyout is “poised for meaningful growth in the future.”

You gotta love enterprising women who see an unmet demand in the market place and jump to supply!

Celebrities love showing off a little leg here and there, but the chicest way to approach that concept is to pull out that early ‘2000s era mini skirt. Yep, it’s back like it never left, but for the Summer of 2017 it’s getting edgier by the day.
Behold a few fabulous examples, as modeled by some of our favorite ‘it’ girls:
Karreuche Tran looks adorable in practically anything she throws on, but a pink leather zip up mini skirt indeed is her thing.
Amber Steven West attended NBC Universal Summer Press Day in a frilled leather studded mini skirt.
Kendall Jenner knows how to turn her edginess off and on, but this time it’s turned all the way on! She wore a $110 DG Dèvoiler patent leather mini. She came to slay not play!
Rihanna is a looker when it comes to trends. She kept her look subtle with a Vetements grey sweatshirt, paired with a red fringe mini skirt and red pointed heels to match. A skirt like Rih’s isn’t the easiest to pull off, but to make it work, keep the rest of the look simple by adding solid muted tones or tones that match the skirt’s color.
Charlize Theron wore an all white Dior set to the premier of Atomic Blonde Movie in Berlin. Two-piece sets are in for the summer as well, so what better way is there to pull off a mini skirt look than to have the matching top to go with it? It’s effortless and fashion forward at the same time!
We spied Kylie Jenner in a $2,890 metal mesh mini skirt by Paco Rabanne. A skirt like this number should be paired with a fitted crop top, bodysuit, or anything sexy with a lace pattern.
Emily Ratajowski is a looker in mini skirts too! She wore a confetti plaid mini skirt paired with over the top platform heels, and a lavender sweater, as she waited outside of Marc Jacobs show in NY.
Carrie Underwood wore a rainbow fringe mini skirt, a bedazzled long-sleeve top to match, and strap on heels. This is the ultimate party skirt so don’t be afraid to wear something like this to a club or birthday party.
Bella Hadid went with a destroyed denim mini, paired with all black from head to toe. You can pull off a denim mini skirt in multiple ways, but this model went for a more simple, yet chic approach.
Lastly, Hailey Baldwin wore a khaki mini skirt and paired it with a loose black top and boots. Khaki skirts are the easiest of them all to rock with anything, and the model proved it’s a chic piece to add to the rest of your look.
What do you think about the mini skirt trend?

Lupita Nyong’o went bold at the Black Panther Panel 2017 Comic-Con International, vibrant in an Elie Saab Resort 2018 Palm Print Jumpsuit:
Lupita copied the brand’s lookbook ensemble almost verbatim.
The duster is something I’m still searching high and low for, but this $70 Nasty Gal Leaf An Impression Jumpsuit is a great substitute for Lupita’s all-in-one.
Hot! This print definitely channels J.Lo’s iconic Versace gown.
Would you wear it?
