SOLANGE KNOWLES IS AFRO SENSATIONAL FOR TIME OUT NEW YORK

Ka-Bloom!!

What a way to start the day and see Solange in all her ferosh-ness on my Tumblr page for Time Out New York in the perfect colors and fashion inspiration for Spring. Solange had been on a roll way before she was signed to NEXT Modeling agency because she is a favorite of women in the Natural Hair community before the mainstream fashion industry noticed her, either way, she simply rocks. I wonder what are ESSENCE, EBONY and the other so called niche magazines waiting on when it comes to a cover and editorial featuring her??? Be sure to check out Solange's inspirational blog which updates her style and her journey through life and it's peoples.

Fros We Love: The Super Talented Esperanza Spalding for VOGUE March 2012

"It Girl"

I guess one can say we can see a few of the editorials before the magazines hit the stores or folks mailboxes, but there's nothing like flipping through a magazine or reading it on your technological gadget of choice. I literally screamed when I saw Esperanza's spread in the latest issue of my daughters VOGUE.  Thanks fab daughter for letting me borrow it and snap these photos with my trusted Blackberry. I'm not tearing up my magazines or anyone else's to scan them.


Be sure to purchase her latest musical offering, you'll be glad you did.

Le Look Du Jour: Solange Knowles Is Printastic!

While everyone is reporting on the borrowed gowns of last night's Grammy Awards, I stick to the real trendsetters who get me excited about fashion. Those who bring something special and unique and Solange Knowles is that special someone for me.

You can't go soft even in DVF prints like this...I'm smitten!
