Cover Girls: Serena Williams Covers Essence Magazine

On the topic of healthy living (and perfect motivation given our current LBS Beauty Detox), tennis star and sports mogul Serena Williams covers the July issue of Essence Magazine. The July issue is Essence's Body Issue themed around loving your shape and Miss Serena is serving curvy athletic realness!


In the issue, Serena talks with Essence about her fight against a devastating pulmonary embolism over two years ago, and how at 31 she's in the best shape of her life. About her body and age, she says “I feel lighter, I feel healthier, and even though I’m 31—which really isn’t old, but for an athlete, particularly a tennis player, it’s old—I promise you, my body has never felt better. Considering how much I’ve played and how much I’ve done, I feel fine. I’m strong."

I don't know about you, but this cover shot is going right up on my inspiration board. Who's with me?

Fierce or Foolish: Eva Marcille at Qream NYC Launch

 

Last night mega producer, artist & fashion icon Pharrell Williams launched his brand new liqueur Qream at an exclusive launch party in LA. Eva Marcille showed up to the event wearing a white fringed dress & colorful pumps, and a poppin' red lip.

I'm all about the fringe but I think it definitely takes an Eva-the-diva type of girl to rock something like this with confidence. This might look similar to a potato sack on me.

It was too much of a fashion feast! Had to split it up into meals.
