Estelle Hosts Rachel's Fashion Night Out

Fashion's Night Out is planned to be a HUGE night in NYC, and designer Rachel Roy is making sure her pop-up shop doesn't get lost in the chaos. She's called on her personal friend Estelle to host the party, Lady Bunny is in charge of the sounds, and Keyshia Cole will be making an appearance. Talk about star studded shopping, I would've been happy just to see Rachel, lol.

September 10th is definitely not the night to sit in and watch a movie. Go out and SHOP!

KC Does Vibe....Again

This is one of the best covers of Vibe that I've seen in a long time. Keyshia looks gorgeous, and with her new more put together and sexy style she's the perfect person to put on the cover of the Style Issue. For this issue they did two different covers, I like this one the best, the other one is with Keyshia and crazy a$$ Frankie...which is still pretty too. This makes for Keyshia's third Vibe cover, so she must be doing something right.

P.S.- Is anyone else in love with her new wrist tattoo??? Sooo cute

Let's Give Snaps: Keyshia Cole

SO I have loved Keyshia Cole from jump. Her songs always factor into the soundtrack of my life...she was my musical best friend last month! She seems like the homegirl that would help you play on your exes phone (Not that Shade does that; mind you...he's far too mature; but if he were to--he'd holla at Keyshia)! She's had many looks, starting from when she burst on the scene in '04 and like me, she seems to be always transforming those locks. It might be a scorpio thang...I digress



IN the beginning there was Keyshia with the Kool-Aid hair and a dress better suited for a nightclub not an awards ceremony. She was young and was still carrying her Hoodrat card. She's been forgiven. Next she tried to step it up with expensive casual attire. This was a small step, however she gets an A for effort.

THEN Keylolo brought out her Grown Woman and rocked a lovely satin number to the '07 BET awards. I knew she was getting it together when the hair got a little more understated. This was the year her sophomore album hit the shelves and I think she figured it was time to leave some things behind...the Kool Aid perhaps?

NOW Ms.Cole is really classing it up! I think understated works better for her personality. Softer, more feminine lines and textures make me want to go out to lunch with her. She seems approachable and is even rocking a fresh-as-a-daisy smile!

Keyshia is living the American dream! SHe's taught me a little something: Fashion is a lot like relationships--you find an item you really like and you save up to buy it, then when you finally get it you wear it until it frays then you have to throw it out! You cry and cry because you saved up hard-earned money and it was the cutest belt/shoe/hat, but it frayed so you Let It Go. Keyshia knows better than anyone...well maybe not better than Mary J!

AND as always; Fashion can be applied to anything in life. Depressed? Get your hair done! Happy? Get your hair done! Drunk? Keep your skirt down! In love? Wear your sunglasses at night!

Liv Lux Top 5 Artist Collabs

Lately the music industry has brought together some pretty great artists that have created awesome music and Liv Lux wants to showcase these artist-duos that have caught our eye due to their great music. This is Liv Lux's Top 5 Collabos. Get into it.


Let's start with my all-time favorite right now, Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke. If you're a fan of great music you need to hear these two kats together. When you think of Lil Wayne, first thing that comes to mind is hard as rapping with curse words we've never heard before. But it's somewhat different when it's a track with Thicke on there. On Weezy's new CD, Tha Carter 3(GO COP THAT!), they have a hit together called "Tie My Hands" which talks about the hard times in New Orleans. They previously have a track together called "Shooter". If you haven't heard these two together, get up under that rock and listen.


Next on the list is Bow Wow and Omarion. These teenage sensations have stolen the hearts of high school girls around the globe with their collaborations. They have even taken the idea to do a WHOLE ALBUM with just them too. Face Off hit stores in 2007 and was a must-have. Even if you haven't purchased the CD, I bet you've heard their hits on the airwaves of almost every radio station. With Bow Wow's lyrics and O's seduction, how could you go wrong?


3rd we have T-Pain and.....T-Pain! My reasons for this are logical. I mean, Instead of naming the numerous artists that Teddy Pin-Her-A**-Down has collaborated with I just decided to do him by himself. I still have yet to find a song that I hate that has T-Pain on it. And not to mention this guy is on almost every remix out. It has to be that unique voice of his. Whatever the reason maybe, I love it and I know you all do too!


This is me, thinking ahead of time. Now as soon as I heard The Game's new single, "Pain", with Keyshia Cole I fell in love. For some reason, I feel her..where she's coming from in the song. She talks about how ever since she has gotten into the music game she has made changes and given back to the world. And Game just reminds me of Ice Cube so much, it's crazy. These too look good and sound good together. They give us the bad boy & girl look. Actually, I love Keyshia's look more than any other artist in the game now. Even though this is their first single together, I see more hit collaborations in these two artists future. If you haven't heard "Pain" yet...kill yourself.


I decided to save the BEST for last. Bey and Jay have taken the game to another level with their music collabs. From "Bonnie & Cylde" to "Upgrade U", I say they were made for each other. There's no need to get into their personal lives...save that for another day, lol. But honestly I feel like they have paved the way for musical couples(cough, cough-Ri & Chris). No need to ask you have you heard any of their music, because you have...trust me.

Well I hope you've all enjoyed reading about Liv Lux's hottest collaborations. Tell us what you think about it through a comment and we will be sure to respond. We love hearing from you all. Until next time..
