On the Scene: Lucid Bliss Hair Care Launch Hosted By Naturi Naughton

lucid-bliss-launch-street-style-tiffany

Celebrity hairstylist and wigologist Tiffany Lamb recognized the need for products that hydrate, moisturize and restore hair follicles.  She teamed with a chemist to create Lucid Bliss, an extensive hair collection that includes moisturizing shampoo, hydrating conditioner, hair refreshener and vitamin E hair drops. 

Created during a time when she lost all inspiration as a hairstylist, Tiffany decided to redirect her passion from hair styling to hair care.  Her products are made with all-natural oils and ingredients that’ll waken your hair follicles and nourish your scalp.

Tiffany tested her products before the launch to repair her own hair.  She documented the results on her Instagram page, @Touched_by_Tiff.  On the brands’ Instagram page, @MyLucidBliss, you can see photos of customers who have used her products and saw amazing results.

Who Wore It Better?: Winnie Harlow vs. Marjorie Harvey in Chanel’s Fall 2016 Tiered White Ruffle Dress

Winnie Harlow stepped out for the Marie Claire Leaders Awards in Mexico City while rocking Chanel‘s Fall 2016 Tiered White Ruffle Dress, black stockings and pointed patent leather pumps. But, fashion extraordinaire Marjorie Harvey also wore the same feminine piece during Paris Fashion Week with loads of pearls, fishnet stocking and leopard cap-toe Christian Louboutin heels.

The chic number was modeled on the runway with similar pairings including black stockings, an oversized bow and a standout bowler hat.

While I love all things Chanel, I’m not exactly sold on these looks. The dress comes off a bit matronly but, hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

Look of the Week featuring Bonang Matheba in Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, Winnie Harlow in Roberto Cavalli, Teyana Taylor in The Blonds and More!

Ever since Tuesday, I’ve been in a social stupor. I’ve carried out my daily activities with a heavy heart and I’ve questioned the foundation for which the United States of America was built upon. I’ve also watched as this country violently erupt into what is now a threat to the lives of millions.

But, one thing is clear. Fashion is my fortitude. Writing is my sword. And, peace is etched within my soul. I’m beyond blessed to be able to use my talent for a greater good rather than merely dismissing my God-given abilities. So, today’s article is a bit therapeutic. This is my release from all the turmoil that has engulfed our precious nation. I also pray that I can relieve your mind from some of the everyday stresses that plague or hearts and minds. Thank you for reading! 

Now, on a lighter note, let’s hop straight into the week’s most memorable celebrity looks!

1) Zendaya Coleman in Michael Kors

zendayacoleman13thannualcfdavoguefashion-michael-kors-collection

The Annual CFDA& VOGUE Fashion Fund Awards were a welcome highlight to this tumultuous election week! The fashion industry’s best and brightest stars were in attendance including Godiva goddess Kelly Rowland and the chic Solange Knowles. Yet, it was Zendaya Coleman that turned heads in a Michael Kors navy crepe dress with white floral sequin embroidery. The ultra-sleek number also boasts an off-the-shoulder feature, dual side cutouts and a relaxed fit. Cute, no?

2) Winnie Harlow in Roberto Cavalli

mtvema2016redcarpetarrivals-winnie-harlow-cavalli

Winnie Harlow has quickly become one of my favorite style mavens of 2016! After her striking cameo in Beyonce’s award-winning masterpiece Lemonade, the charismatic supermodel has continued to make some huge strides. For her appearance at the 2016 Europe MTV Movie Awards, Winnie slayed all of our lives in a seductive black lace gown from Roberto Cavalli’s Spring 2016 presentation. The feminine piece combines a boho-lux aesthetic that radiates an effortless sophistication. Without a doubt, this woman is living proof that #BlackGirlMagic comes in all forms, despite the strict (and unrealistic) standards of beauty society set forth. I’m here for every moment! 

3) Erykah Badu in Ralph and Russo

erykah-badu-soul-train-awards-1

Queen Erykah Badu brought her signature eclectic style to the 2016 Soul Train Awards red carpet as she donned a voluminous marigold Ralph and Russo gown, flawless makeup and tons of accessories. I don’t care what anyone says – this woman embodies the true understanding of pinpointing one’s personal style. You’ll never see this songstress rocking what critics may label “on trend” or “in” but, in contrast, you can spot her in a plethora of other stylish duds. I live for her sartorial fearlessness and the fact that she can make an oversized maroon wide-brim hat look like absolute perfection. And, shout-out to Jason Rembert for styling this iconic ensemble! 

4) Teyana Taylor in The Blonds

teyana-taylor-soul-train-awards-the-blonds-1

Songstress and dance extraordinaire Teyana Taylor was also in attendance for the 2016 Soul Train Awards in Las Vegas last weekend! The fashion fave was certain that all eyes were glued to her as she sashayed down the awaiting red carpet in a lavish sheer textured dress by The Blonds and black Givenchy ankle strap sandals. While raking in over 9,000 like on Instagram, there was no disputing her spot in our Look of the Week feature. Body: on point, face: beat to the gods, hair game: unmatched. She looks amazing!

5) Bonang Matheba in Weiz Dhurm Franklyn

bonang-matheba-weiz-dhurm-franklyn-1

Not many fashionistas possess the genuine ability to make everything they wear look like a million bucks. No, for some, the pursuit of the slay is similar to fighting a constant losing battle but Bonang Matheba’s got it down to a science. The South African girl boss served up fiery perfection in a curve-hugging masterpiece by my friend Weiz Dhurm Franklyn. She accented her bold frock with a classic low bun, matching crimson lips and icy diamond accessories. Let’s be real, it can’t get any better than this, right?

6) Jourdan Dunn in Balmain

mtvema2016redcarpetarrivals-jourdan-dunn-balmain

And, rounding out of fashionable nominees, we have the lovely Jourdan Dunn. The statuesque supermodel was on hand for the 2016 Europe MTV Movie Awards in a custom sheer detail long sleeve gown by Balmain. After examining this piece, I realized that Jourdan was the perfect muse for this tantalizing ensemble. With such clean lines and an impeccable fit, I’d think it’s safe to say that she was the gorgeous inspiration behind its remarkable beauty. Love it!
