Red Carpet Haute
My lovely companions at Glamazons Blog gathered up a haute rundown of the best fashions at the Met Gala. In case you missed the livestream of the red carpet, check out their picks for Best Dressed. They hit the nail on the head with their post featuring Solange, Beyonce, Chanel Iman & more.
Who’s That Girl?
I heart Tamu! If you don’t know her, get into her. StyleLikeU recently did a video featuring one of my fave street style photographers Tamu McPherson of All The Pretty Birds. Her blog is amazing and she’s such a sweetheart (I’ve run into her many a time during NY Fashion Week and she’s absolutely adorbs). Check out the video HERE – props to Huffington Post BV for posting it.
Be There or Be…Lame
Ok folks, some important events you NEED to attend if you’re in the NYC area. (Non-NYC folks, I’m working on some cool ways to include national citywide events, so stay tuned!)
I’m speaking! Yes, yours truly will be on a panel of experts for the above young professional conference Rising Affluent. I attended this last year (blogged about it here – a must-read!) and had an amazing time. It’s so great being in the company of other young professionals who are driven and connected. It’s also awesome to hear all about entrepreneurship, branding, and success from a panel of experts and influencers. I would encourage anyone with hopes and dreams in the NYC area to attend. You won’t regret it.
My curly friends Natasha of Asili Glam and the Around the Way Curls crew are hosting a fab natural hair meetup next Thursday, May 17th called Curl Daze! There will be cocktails (by Ciroc, 21+ only, sorry youngin’s), there will be goody bags, and there will be lots of natural curls! Curly or not, you don’t want to miss it. “It’s a party, it’s a party it’s a partayyy” *Waka Flocka voice*
Solange looks amazing. I’m going to check out Tamu now. we love your blog at http://www.beyondblackbeauty.com
