Splurge: Alesha Dixon’s X Factor Beaufille Black Flared Pants

Alesha Dixon added a little sass and a whole lot of style to The X Factor Edinburgh show sporting a white off-the-shoulder crop top and black $390 Beaufille Navi satin-jacquard flared pants. 

These slim fitting pants sit high on the waist, hug the thigh area, and flare at the bottom.

They can be worn with or without a belt, and they feature a concealed zipper closure in the back.

These stylish pants can jazz up any simple ensemble.  I believe this is one of Alesha’s best looks that she has worn on The X Factor.  I absolutely need these pants!  If you’re up for the splurge as well, purchase your pair here.

Beauty Bomb: SZA’s 2017 BET Awards Curly Half-Up Half Down Hair, Styled by Larry Sims

SZA gave us all the Summer beauty inspiration we needed at the 2017 BET Awards. With her flawless skin and voluminous hair, it’s hard to not be mesmerized by the smooth-singing beauty. Her curly half-up, half-down hairstyle at the awards show was coiffed by none other than famed stylist Larry Sims. Thus, we had to get the breakdown to recreate her showstopping tresses for the balmy weeks ahead.

1. Start by washing your hair with moisturizing shampoo & conditioner.

2. Next, blow dry your tresses, in no particular direction, from the root to create volume—leaving your natural curl pattern.

3. Pull your strands at the tip while blow drying to extend length. Use texturizing hairspray for added texture.

4. Use a Mason Pearson brush to brush hair from tip to root—creating increased volume.

5. Create a center part and wave the front of your hair using a tiny barrel curling iron.

6. Gather the sides of your hair and create a half-up, half down ponytail—while leaving strands along the sides of your face.

7. Add a smoothing pomade to your edges to lay them down.

8. Finish with hairspray that provides volume and shine.

    Beauty Crush Wednesday: Jhené Aiko

    With a sound that easily finds the middle ground between easy listening and R&B over honest and pensive lyrics, it should be no surprise this week’s beauty crush,  Jhené Aiko, is just as beautiful as the songs she creates and sings.  From makeup to hair, it’s clear the “While We’re Young” singer loves to experiment when it comes to her look.
    When it comes to her eyes, Jhene loves to amplify the shape with smoldering dark shadows at the outer corner. Her secret? She loves Urban Decay’s “Naked” palette ($54) since it has every color she needs, especially the black shade “Creep” for that subtly smudged look. For lips, Jhené typically sports nude shades like Obsessive Compulsive Comsmetics’ lip pencil in “Pennyroyal”.

    For artists, showcasing different sides of oneself through both music and style has become so paramount because of how many fans from different walks of life relate to them. Jhené does this fantastically not only with fashion via her stylist, Ade Samuel, but with her hair as well.

    Some days, flirty bobs and lobs are on the menu. And others, she can keep it sleek and straight for a look that bridges the gap between sophisticated and sexy.
        She can give you curly for a look that screams fun in the summer sun. And Jhené absolutely loves wearing box braids. They’re beautiful, and sure beats 20-30 minutes deciding on a hairstyle THEN executing it.   

    Not only that, she loves a good wig. Whether fiery red or pastel and music festival worthy, Jhené loves experimenting with her look, just like any other woman.
      Motherhood, glowing skin, a thriving music career, appearing on every best dressed list, and a relationship with one of the biggest hip-hop stars, Big Sean, has this beauty on cloud nine.

    Here’s to Jhené Aiko and to more beauty looks from her for 2017!
