Never stop learning.
That’s a bit of honest advice I’d give to anyone looking to start out in the industry.
Expend every resource available to you. Read books, watch videos, go see talks, find ways to mix and mingle with others who share your interests until you feel you are going in the direction you desire.
When I first started blogging, way before all the fashion shows and bright lights, I’d hit up every fashionable exhibit in the city, and write about those since I didn’t have any events to go to (peep my Black Style Now? Critique on FBD from 2006). Before you get all the glamour, do a bit of grunt work–read, think, grow.
Of course the world is vast and the options are endless, so below, please find my recommendations for great fashion books + fashion films and documentaries you can catch on Youtube, Netflix, or On Demand:
The 2017 Billboard Music Awards were a sight to behold last night. Seems like a lot of celebrities opted for Cannes instead of the award show’s red carpet, but the looks were definitely on point!
Let’s get into the evening’s fashion choices!
Eudoxie brought the heat in a silk black, Stello slit gown with a plunging neckline, alongside husband Ludacris who was the night’s co-host. Beautiful couple!
Celine Dion shut the night down in a puff-sleeve Stephane Rolland gown that was as breathtaking as her performance. She is complete and utter #goals.
John Legend was dapper in a double-breasted check Gucci suit. So handsome!
Before presenting Drake with the award for Top Male Artist, Kate Beckinsale hit the red carpet in a colorful embellished, sheer Zuhair Murad number. You can always count on the brand for a gorgeous gown! Clearly transparent dresses were one of the night’s biggest trends.
Olivia Munn smoldered in a black sheer, floral embroidered Redemption gown. She’s stunning!
Rita Ora left very little to the imagination in a crystal encrusted white Francesco Scognamiglio top and sheer black mesh pencil skirt. Not too keen on this look for the red carpet, though I loved it on the runway.
Nicole Scherzinger served up décolletage in a tulle skirt Maria Lucia Hohan gown with a low-cut neckline. So pretty!
Vanessa Hudgens was pretty in pink, clad in a bow-accented Marchesa look with cutout detailing. This was fab.
Hailee Steinfeld sizzled in a silver and black sheer David Koma dress with mesh accents and a curve-hugging fit. She’s always flawless.
Camila Cabello was the lady in red, elegant in a lace Jonathan Simkhai slip gown and matching duster. Hot!
Halsey flaunted her toned abs in a Sergio Hudson bra top, Juun J. trench-inspired skirt, and Monika Chiang lace-up sandals. She slayed this, am I right?
Lea Michele turned up the heat in a mesh inset David Koma design. Great dress!
Ashley Tisdale slipped on a lace bodice jumpsuit from Tadashi Shoji.
Who had your favorite look at the awards show?
Kelly Rowland attended Beyonce’s African themed push party in a tie dye crop top and high slit skirt by Shop Bombchel.
Yass, Queen Kelly!
Though I haven’t received confirmation as yet, this print looks familiar because the designer sent me the same set! See a few similar pieces by the brand below:
Bonus: the clothes are made by disadvantaged Liberian women. Fashion for a cause.

What do you think of Kelly’s ensemble (so hot!)?
Beyonce, Blue, and Jay hit up the Museum of Ice Cream on Mother’s Day, with mom and daughter in matching Dolce & Gabbana Hydrangea decorated dresses:
Beyonce struck a serious pose on the grass.
She is living life like it’s golden! She further accessorized with $595 Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Embellished Mirror Sandals and $429 Miu Miu Cat Eye Sunnies.
A similar dress by the brand has gathered skirt panels and an all over print.
Her bold blue sunglasses boast purple stones.
Her sandals also come equipped with crystal flourishes.
Get her look here:
The 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival Premieres are just getting better and better! Our favorite bad gal was in attendance for the Okja red carpet, as well as some of the most beloved style stars on the planet.
Let’s get into the ensembles, shall we?
Rihanna made her second Cannes appearance in a white strapless Dior Couture gown with a matching, floor-grazing jacket, languidly worn off her shoulders. Yes to old Hollywood glamour!
Bella Hadid was the lady in red, accenting her quilted look with a diamond snake necklace. This was fab.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan brought the drama in a Michael Cinco Couture design that dropped jaws. Gorgeous, no?
Julianne Moore shimmered and sparkled in an embellished Louis Vuitton, long-sleeve number. I live for her style!
That chic French flair was continued, by way of Jessica Chastain’s curve-hugging lilac, embellished fringe Givenchy Couture dress. She never disappoints.
Lily Collins was ethereal in a white, wispy Ralph & Russo Spring 2017 Couture gown. Pure perfection!
Li Yuchun was fierce in a tiger embroidered Gucci look that played on the timeless China cheongsam dress. The craftsmanship on this one? Exquisite.
Tilda Swinton was white hot in a long-sleeve Haider Ackermann gown with an asymmetric hem and satin waist. And that hair? A complete slay!
Are you feeling the premiere’s looks?
Happy Friday!
Behold, today’s Bombshell: Lillian from Toronto:
She writes, “I am from Toronto and was born in Tanzania.”
” I work in Regulatory Affairs for the Federal Government.”
” I enjoy having a diverse wardrobe of both office attire and casual garments, ensuring to inject colour whenever I can.”
” I love to be trendy but I generally wear what I am drawn to, regardless if it is on trend or not.”
” I have recently begun to showcase my outfits on instagram.”
” Hopefully your readers like my style.”
Super cute! You make me want to go out and buy a pair of leopard pumps!

Fall 2017 for Sergio Hudson is on fire! His latest collection is all about monochrome tones uplifted by shiny gold buttons and slick accents.
Magenta, celery green, and baby blue mix with white and black for a collection that combines edge with chic sophistication.
Wide legged trousers paired with structured coats strike the perfect chord for editors on the go.
Thigh grazing dresses and jumpsuits are key for nights on the town.
Monochromatic is always my go to, so I can’t wait to slip into the soft blue palette for fall.
Gilded dresses and slick mini skirts are available should a red carpet or hot party beckon.
I absolutely love everything!!
