Solange Knowles rocks this trend: pant, shorts, and skirt sets

Keep it easy going with a skirt/short or pant set and flat sandals this summer.  Voila.  You look effortless and have two pieces that can also go back with other items in your wardrobe.


Solange Knowles knows how to work sets.  Here are a few inspiring looks:

I'm in LOVE with everything about this look!  Who doesn't want to travel like this??:)

The 2 reasons I had to get the March issue of COSMO

I have to be honest...I never get COSMO mag...even when I've read everything else...tonight, I was waiting for the pharmacist to get my meds and I decided to just skim the cover and saw this:  15 EASY WAYS TO SCORE AN EXTRA $2,000  Check out my IG account for my fave ideas!  I figured I'm waiting...why not check this out:)  Started scanning and BAM!!!  I see Solange Knowles and it's over.  There is no reason I can say no to buying this issue...and why isn't she on the COVER!?  One of the girls from Pretty Little Liars is on the cover and I honestly can't be mad at that because I do indulge in that show as well:)

Fab style as seen at Coachella on Solange Knowles and Nicole Richie

I'm already addicted to boho style and love Solange and Nicole Richie's style that already reflects that.  Here are a few looks that inspire me that can easily be found.

This is Nicole Richie rocking a Norma Kamali underwire tassel bra.  $450  I LOVE how she wears a bathing suit top like this with high waisted, vintage jeans.  BRILLIANT!


SOLANGE KNOWLES
She inspires my style soo much!  Here is a great interview from Elle.com highlighting how Solange styles herself for music festivals like Coachella.

I am looking for a bandeau top/bathing suit to rock with a high waisted skirt.  I also like the side tie knot.

Here are some bandeau's I'm considering:

Tommy Bahama - Pearl Solids Twist Bandeau Bikini Top (Black) - Apparel

J.CrewPadded knot bandeau top

Oakley Women's Bananas Bandeau Top



Jessica Simpson Women's Twist Bandeau Bra



LOVING this tank and can't find it anywhere!  I don't care if she is dating this guy...I want to know where the top is from:)

Things happening today

Solange Knowles new single/video:

***Sorry, this is actually happening tomorrow...I was so excited I didn't realize it wasn't happening until then...stay tuned...until then, here is a sneak peek.  Plus, I read Solange helped with the styling which makes me want to watch it  more!

While we are waiting for the video:)  Check out Solange's blog/site...which I'm LOVING!




Tracee Ellis Ross is launching her new site filled with fashion, beauty and hair tips!  This will hopefully make up for her not being on the BET show, Reed Between the Lines.  I LOVED watching this and catching all of her ZARA pieces.  I bought a bag she carried on the show.
They were counting down on facebook:)

Are braids making a comeback?

Solange Knowles thinks they are and I'm going to try them again soon.
After Brandy and Alicia Keys put a pause to their signature braids it seemed like no one was rocking them.
Recently, (since going au natural) Solange has been rocking long box braids that look so effortless and go with her boho/ethnic vibe. Plus, I love how she styles her braids...she doesn't just wear them down. She always changes it up. An up style or using a fab turban she creates herself! (DIY directions below) Solange's braids remind me of Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice...it's funny how things always seem to come back around. Well, I will be trying this style soon...anyone else?

DIY:
How to make a turban like Solange:
"I just buy fabric from the fabric store, cut it into a rectangle, twist it really tight around my head and tuck it either in the back or the front so it stays. The key is that the fabric has to be really stiff," she says.

Introducing my new favorite line: Boxing Kitten

I love the vintage feeling with a modern twist using ethnic prints.  This line speaks to me and I can't wait to own one-ok-more than one of the pieces!  Stay tuned for what I get:)
I can so see Solange Knowles (Actually, I think she might have already worn this line...checking old posts now to see if I'm right:) or Rihanna rocking this line!
*Update: It does look like Solange has rocked the line, see pics here.
