Celeb Style Album: Coachella 2014





This past weekend, celebrities and ordinary folk gathered in Indio, Cali for the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival which is taking over two consecutive weekends.

Instagram was buzzing with thousands of posts from festival fashion to Beyonce joining sister Solange on stage during her performance for an impromptu dance on stage (I heart these sisters).

Celeb Style Album: Olivia Palermo's Autumn Winter Style Guide

As we hold on to the last few weeks of warm weather, some of us can't help but get excited as the cooler weather approaches.

Considering I was ready to throw in a few moth balls in my 'All Things Arctic' closet, I'm looking forward to finally wearing all the winter steals that I've collected over the last two rather warm years.

And who better to send us into the cold weather than It girl, Olivia Palermo. The American socialite is one of my main fashion icons and she never disappoints with her seemingly effortless style and timeless pieces.















Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Expecting A Baby





Mila and Ashton are just full of surprises lately, first with the recent announcement of their engagement to the news of their pregnancy.

Having fallen in love with these two when they were playing on screen couple Jackie and Kelso on That 70s Show over 10 years ago, we were psyched when they became real life lovers in 2012. 

With the pending nuptials and a baby on the way, we wish the Kutchers all the best with their new family. 







Janette...Iks - I Will Wait For You


The long weekend is over sadly but I'd like to start the new week with some incredible words from a  young lady that goes by the name Miss Terious Janette..Iks.  For those who don't know her, she became well known for her poem " I Will Wait For You" which went viral on the internet back in 2011. I'm not going to go into the details of her troubled upbringing but would rather focus on the powerful powerful messages she disseminates through her spoken word pieces. In her own words..."It's not just artistry...it's ministry".

Maybe its because she was my age when she sat down and reflected about her relationship status, but I am one of the many women-and men that she has impacted.

I know this piece is like 3 years old but it is definitely relevant and many ladies can still relate. Have a look at her in action but for those who can't play the video check out her lyrics to ensure you don't miss this message.




Check out her website http://www.mysteriousgenetics.com/ for more of her work and look out for '31 To Be Exact', another masterpiece.

Man Crush Monday Hello!!


This MCM was inspired by a very jealous male friend of mine who couldn't stop moaning about how Morris Chestnut seemed allergic to upper body clothing in the movie 'The Best Man Holiday'. Mind you considering that as he was making these scathing remarks, his eyes (for the 20th time) were glued to Gabrielle Union in 'Think Like A Man' (This couch has never been christened scene).

But thanks to him, I remembered just how yummy that chesty Chestnut actually is and with that in mind I dedicate this post to one of the sexiest African American men ever to grace the big (and small) screen.



It was the 90s...it's allowed!! Anyway Boyz N The Hood was that movie in those times.




 'Two Can Play That Game' baby. Bring.It.On. 


Thank goodness he is like fine wine. Just keeps getting better and better...and better.



Acting like he don't know...


How did I miss this??!!!! That is what happens when you go watch a movie without your glasses.

I'll just have to wait for the dvd...

Naomi Campbell Reveals a 90s Supermodel Reunion To Take Place





During an interview with "CBS This Morning," supermodel Naomi Campbell discussed the modeling industry and her reality show "The Face." But, most importantly, she dropped very exciting news. 

After explaining why there will never be a group of supermodels like "The Big 5" --  Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and herself-- ever again, she hinted at an upcoming reunion. "We're working with each other in a few weeks together, which is like a big reunion," she says. And that's when our jaws dropped. Though she's mum about what we can expect from the catwalk queens, we're sure it's going to be worth the wait.


One thing Campbell did discuss was her  dream of someday guest-starring on Saturday Night Live, spilling, "I think sense of humor is the best thing in the world. To make fun of yourself. To be another character." So can we expect to see dramatic throwing of cell phones in an SNL skit anytime soon? Only time will tell. Watch the full interview below.

If you don't get it you clearly haven't watched New Girl...



Ella Eyre





The 'Deeper' singer is not only vocally blessed but she has some of the best hair in the industry.

Malaika Firth  is a Kenyan-born British fashion model. Look out for her out there on the runway alongside runway princesses Jourdan Dunn and Joan Smalls.


Of course a WCW would not be complete with my favorite Caribbean Thelma and Louise:)
