Little Doe is Love Indeed

 

The Mother-Earth & Boho inspired head pieces are the most beautiful and detailed accessories designed by Little Doe.  I just love their collections inspired by crystals, feathers & florals.  Each piece is crafted with antique materials and sought out trinkets to create a natural and simplistic look.  Every piece tells a story.

Kanye West, Phoenix & Ballerinas

Kanye West just released a 34 minute artistic and lyrical film that he directed featuring Selita Ebanks(Victoria's Secret Model). Apparently after the whole Taylor Swift incident he disappeared from the world to let feather girl dance in his living room and then pimp her out with headband chains for his dinner parties. Selita Ebanks did a good job with that outfit haha...she was one feather away from a Britney and Paris Hilton surprise.



The actual story behind the film is that the phoenix is a metaphor to his return to the spotlight (according to JustJared.com). During his interview on Ellen he talked about how he had to get away after the Taylor Swift incident and his mothers death. Everyone was hating on him so he ran away and lived in Japan, Rome,then Hawaii to get his life together. He contemplated suicide at the time and now he's releasing his album and film.

Anyways, the video is a bit long, but the tracks are dope. As much as everyone wants to hate him for his personality, he is actually a talented artist.

-Ew, and was Nikki Minaj narrating at the beginning..she should stick to story telling instead of rapping

Whip Your Hair Back and Forth

One of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's mini-me is at it again and no it's not the kid from Karate Kid. Their 9 year old daughter Willow Smith has released her first single "Whip My Hair."  She really does look like Will and Jada smushed into one.  This track is a bit annoying (not as annoying as Lil Mama), but really impressive that a 9 year can release a Keri Hilson-esque track.

Heres the video...



But I think this video is better. This badass sesame street girl can whip her hair back and forth, AND transform her hairstyle in a second...dreads, braids, mini fro, cute curls with a bow!

Animal Instincts

Love the fur, faux fur, and animal print on and off run way. Fur vest, fur stole, fur jackets and a lot of leopard print.  The best way to wear these pieces without looking cheap is mixing it with solid pieces and accessorizing. I'll be wearing my 525 America fur vest all season, it's surprisingly very warm, and I did just find a fur stole today that I love.

A Whole New World

Disney's theme song from the film Alladin, A Whole New World- just became A Whole New World on "A Whole 'Nother Level" My friend showed me this clip last night and I was laughing so hard, this is some interesting stuff. Not sure if this singer, Nick Pitera works for Disney, but it would definitely be cost-effective.
