Cover Girls: Chanel Iman for Allure Magazine
Chanel Iman graces yet another editorial spread. Can't be mad at the girl. She's doing her thing! This Allure spread for their April Issue is so refreshing. I'm loving the citrus colors and the movement in these shots...
Patrick Demarchelier strikes again! He's definitely one of my fave fashion photographers...
So first let's talk about the amazing shoes in this spread. From platforms to pumps and brights to blacks this is definitely an accessory spotlight.
One of this spring's big trends: mix & match prints. I love the shape of this dress...so fun!
These heels make me greener with envy than this lime-colored frock...not so much feeling the possom tail though - yikes!
Color blocks at their best. This look is fierce and look at those toned arms! A small part of me hopes those muscles were created in Photoshop.
I love how soft and flirty these two looks (above and below) are. And of course the movement is amazing. Makes me wanna rock a long (Beyonce in Get Me Bodied) ponytail!
So what's the verdict on this Allure spread? Fierce or Foolish?

Kickin' It: March Madness
No, I'm not referring to the NCAA Championships. I'm talking about my crazy life! Pardon me, as some of these events are wildly outside of chronological order. Madness doesn't even begin to describe my whirlwind March but hopefully some of these pics will...
Last week I had the pleasure of celebrating the bdays of two of my favorite twins: Natalie and Nicole of Nina Sky.They're good friends of Honey and so we hosted their birthday bash at R. Bar in downtown NYC. Fun!
For the occasion, I opted for something I thought was a little classy, a little fun, but still cool enough for a bar downtown. This blazer is one of my new fave vintage finds. Black leggings and tank seems to be my uniform lately. Switchin' it up for spring though!
Earlier that day I also had the chance to interview Mr. Jas Anderson - an amazing actor, recently in Brooklyn's Finest. We met on the red carpet at the Let's Talk About Pep event and so I invited him down to Honey for an interview. He's awesome - definitely big things in the future for him. Make sure you go see Brooklyn's Finest - he's great in it.
Last week Honey also shot our cover shoot with DTP playboy Ludacris! We shot at ESPN Zone. It was a crazy time, to say the least but of course lots of fun watching Luda play games and be his wild and crazy self.
I love this sporty chic look on the model. She was styled by my boy Jason Rembert. He does awesome work. He styled our Model City shoot in February. And this amazing blazer is by Laquan Smith. Get to know him - young, black an doing big things in fashion. His stuff's already been seen on Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Check out the full Ludacris cover story with pics at Honeymag.com!
That's all for now folks...the plot in this whirlwind life of mine is yet still unfolding...
Fierce or Foolish: Mary J. Blige at Jazz in the Gardens
Took a peek over at YBF and stumbled on pics of Mary J. Blige at her Jazz in the Gardens performance in Miami, wearing an off-the-shoulder bodysuit and heels...
I dunno yall....it ain't for everybody. This might have been interesting on Rih Rih but on Mary J? And I might have even given her a free pass if she jazzed this up with banging accessories but alas..thin bangles and peep-toe heels are all we get. Hmm...
Fierce or Foolish?

Fierce or Foolish: Kelis in Oversized Chains
I write a daily column for Honey called Killer Bees, highlighting the sweetest celebrity outfits of the week. I scouted a pic for Killer Bees yesterday and couldn't resist but highlighting it. Are you guys feeling Kelis in the red, black and oversized chains?
As crazy as these chains look, I'm almost in love. What do you guys think? Fierce or Foolish?
Also, spotted my girls Coco & Breezy over at YBF on site with new BLOND hair - powww!

Kickin' It: Behind the Scenes at BET's Rip the Runway
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending BET's Rip The Runway taping which is actually airing tonight at 9pm. As BET is my former employer (worked there in 2009) I couldn't miss out on covering this one. Some people attend these specials for the celeb spotting or the live performances. With me, it's all about the fashion...
Hosted by the adorable Pooch Hall and everyone's fave black Barbie Nicki Minaj - strange pairing, I know - BET's Rip the Runway was filled with the best in urban fashions and music. I have to say the most entertaining parts of the show were Nicki Minaj's costume changes! She went from typical "tight bodysuit & pink wig" Nicki to....
..."hot mama in a hot pink dress" to "classy and refined" Nicki Minaj. I was pleasantly surprised at her range of attire. Shoutout to her stylist Fatima B. for keeping us interested throughout the show!
Anyway, it was a good time. One of my fave designers Tracy Reese showed her Spring 2010 collection along with an array of other talented designers. Anyway, I had an awesome time.
Be sure to tune in tonight at 10/9c for the full show. For more information, check BET.com
