California Love!
Today’s shout out goes to Joyrich LA, particularly their $144 Teddy Sweatshirt.
Ashanti rocked it well with a matching Teddy Hat. Every piece in the collection is fire!
Purchase all the pieces above here.

Cardi B posed for the gram in a $110 e = ny by Sadia Hayden cropped hoodie:
The cropped-fit cotton hoodie features grommets on the over-sized sleeves.
Cardi looked relaxed in a pair of black sweats and beef and broccoli Timberland boots.
I love that she can go from ultra glam to completely laid back and still look stylish!
I’m a fan of this hoodie and their entire collection so I’d splurge.
If you feel the same, you can purchase here for $110.
What do you think? Would you buy this e=ny hoodie?
The glow up is real! R&B soul singer Fantasia glimmered on Harry TV in a Angelys Balek Fall 2017 gold jumpsuit:
The stunning ensemble featured a collar and a drawstring at the waist. Fantasia kept the attention on the jumpsuit by pairing it with minimal accessories and gold strappy sandals.
Check out similar pieces from Angelys Balek’s Fall 2017 collection below.
Fantasia’s jumpsuit is super fabulous! It looks perfect on her mocha hue. What do you think of this jumpsuit? Did Fantasia bring it or what?
Over on TheBombLife.com, I share instances from my life, but also give my thoughts on Current Events. Read an excerpt below, and more here.

It’s an interesting time in our history. With the election of President Donald Trump, it seems all gloves are off. Seemingly any strides we made regarding Civil Rights and equality with President Barack Obama has given way to open racism and disrespect, particularly of black women.
Yesterday, I read with dismay at how Bill O’Reilly said he couldn’t hear U.S. Representative for California Maxine Waters comments because, “I was looking at her James Brown wig.”
At a White House press conference on March 28th, Sean Spicer asked American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan to “stop shaking her head,“ after she asked a question and felt she didn’t get an adequate response.
These two occurences kicked off a #BlackWomenatWork hashtag, where several black women outlined instances on the job where they were treated in unprofessional, immature, and inappropriate ways because of false perceptions about their skin color.
The result? Black women are getting the hell out of corporate America! They’re not getting a seat the table, so they’re making their own table.
It’s what I had to do as a Harvard Grad (with honors) with aspirations to work in fashion journalism.
Read more here and leave your thoughts below.

**And a note from Maxine Waters:
Cardi B posed on the red carpet of the America’s Next Top Model premiere in the same $2,800 Gucci Floral Snake Print Dress that Kirsten Dunst wore to CinemaCon 2017:
Cardi paired her floral dress with $950 Gucci Leather Low-Top Platform Sneakers.
Kristen opted for open-toe sandals.
I love both renditions of the outfit but Cardi’s styling is fun and youthful.
You can purchase their dress here for $2,800.
What do you think? Who wore it better?
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived!
Our Closet Confessions video with Young Thug and Jerrika Karlae is ready for your viewing pleasure:
Young Thug, who is best known for his hits, “Best Friend” (177 million views on Youtube), “Power” (88 million views), and “With That” (108 million views) confessed that his love for fashion comes first. He said, “Fashion is a verb. It’s what I do.”
His castle like mansion in Buckhead seemed apropos for a Fashion Prince and Princess like Jeffery and Jerrika.
Though initially somewhat guarded, Jeffery eventually opened up, showing me a bookshelf that opened up into another room, along with his closet, which overflowed with jackets, jeans, shoes, and diamonds.
We eventually learned we have a lot in common. We both grew up in Atlanta. We both have locs (he said that locs represent ‘strength’). And of course, we were able to dish on our mutual love of fashion and style.
Another thing Jeffery confessed: his love for his fiancé Jerrika Karlae.
He cited her as one of his influences; she admitted to becoming more interested in style since Jeffery entered her life.
Their spirits beamed with youthful innocence and strength.
We look forward to watching their stylish steps as they grow.
See even more pictures in the gallery above.

Kourtney Kardashian was on casual mother duty in LA as she escorted her son Mason to his art class sporting a DKNY Spring 2017 track suit:
The blue DKNY track suit is made out of nylon material and trimmed in white. The high waist drawstring pants feature deep pockets and zipper closures at the ankles.
Kourtney completed her athleisure look with circular sunnies, a blue bralette and white sneakers.
It’s refreshing to see a Kardashian dress down every so often. With spring in full force, it seems this was the perfect outfit choice for sunny LA. What are your thoughts on this laid back look?
Jennifer Hudson paid a visit to ITV’s Lorraine Show clad in a $475 Self Portrait Hall Mini Dress:
The black long sleeve dress from Self Portrait features Guipure lace knit fabric, sheer trim with a ruffled hem.
Jennifer wore black lace-up booties with her little black dress.
I love the dress but not a huge fan of her shoe choice. Perhaps a simple pair of pumps or open-toe sandals would’ve looked better.
If you’re loving her dress, you can purchase it here for $475.
What do you think? Would you splurge on this look?
Chanel Iman headed to Catch LA with her boyfriend Sterling Shepard clad in black and white striped pants and a $545 Brandon Maxwell Satin Crop Camisole Top:
The black cropped camisole is made of 100% silk and has eye and button snap closure.
Chanel rocked a gold body chain and black open toe sandals.
Absolutely love her simple, chic look!
You can purchase her silk camisole here for $545.
