Style Files: Kelly Rowland and Tika Sumpter

Yessssss to the chocolate sisters! Wait, I don’t know if I should say chocolate since it is “offensive.” Lol anyway, Kelly Rowland and Tika Sumpter looked absolutely gorgeous this week.

Tika Sumpter from “Gossip Girl” wore a great printed skirt with a sheer bluose and peep-toe mary janes. I love the top because it is loose fitting and chic. It would go great with a pair of wide leg jeans.

No words can explain how much I love this dress! Kelly looks amazing! She has been on point lately with all of her looks. The print on this dress is TDF. I love the shoes, the bag, the accessories….she NAILED this look.

We can’t get enough of these Top Shop Walberg Red Ankle Strap Wedges. The Red suede high vamp peep toe wedges with ankle straps and buckle detail are perfect if you want to add some color to your wardrobe. The 5″ wedge with the bold color will not only give you height but also the drama needed to take any outfit up a notch.

This wedge would go with just about everything, especially when it comes to this season’s color blocking trend. Pair with your favorite black mini skirt, white t-shirt and denim jacket and you are ready to go.

Beauty Bubble: MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions

By Jai 2 Comments

Guest Post by Kim from Makeup by Kim Porter

Nylon Magazine (July 2011) has revealed that nine LUCKY beauty bloggers were chosen to not only tour the MAC cosmetics factory, but were able to create their very own, self-customized product! This all went down in April. I was immediately jealous and happy for them all, at the same time. Like I said, nine were chosen, however, only four of the bloggers were featured in the article. Of course Afrobella‘s Patrice Yursik, and Temptalia‘s Christine Mielke were two of the nine selected. The other two featured in the article were Beauty Maverick‘s Lily Nima, and Beauty Blogging Junkie‘s Amber Katz. Each blogger had the opportunity to create either a lipglass or eyeshadow.

On behalf of Aileen, the beauty blogger from Shades of You, below are the pictures of the collection. Check her site for more information on the process, and her inspiration for selecting her shade of lipglass named Sonoran Rain.

Other bloggers who were featured are: Lianne Farbes – The Makeup Girl| Karen – Makeup & Beauty Blog | Wendy – Nitrolicious | Ellen Mirza – Lipstick Powder Paint

I think it’s great that MAC is embracing bloggers in this way. Other companies should definitely follow suit.
