Fashion Post: Rihanna American Vogue March 2014 Cover Shoot

You should already know that I am #TeamRihanna, so of course not only am I pleased that she's on the cover of the March issue of American Vogue, but that she is slaying!

Read the article here where she shares some of her tried and true style tips, my favourite of them all is:

"If I'm wearing a top, I don't wear a bra...If I'm wearing a bra, I just wear a bra."

See below for the rest of the shoot.

I just wish that I was on a beach somewhere below the equator right now...

Rihanna 2013 American Music Awards Doobie Hairstyle

If you don't know by now this a Rihanna friendly blog so I'm not even going to speak on any of the other red carpet looks for the night!

I saw the first photo of her at about 2am GMT and screamed, "YAAAASSSS HUNTYYYY!" Not only was Miss Robyn working werking that Jean Paul Gautier ensemble, but she was seated at the American Music Awards with her wrapped in a doobie!

As a black woman I was both amused and elated that Rihanna had managed to make every (relaxed/straightened/weaved) black woman's night time hairstyle a fashion statement! Already there are women who wear their doobie/flexi-rods/rollers out in public whilst running errands etc, but now Rihanna has opened the floodgates I would not be surprised if we start to see these same women actually start sporting them at events!

See her full look and performance below.

Fitspiration: Bad Gyal Rih Rih!

It's no secret that Rihanna is my ultimate girl crush; I've loved her since the 'Pon De Replay' days and I love her even more for religiously playing mas at cropover! Her body has always been amazing, but her latest set of bikini photos have inspired me to hit the gym (at some point lol) and get right for carnival!

Um can we have a moment of silence for Rihanna's thighs please...damn!

New Video Alert: Rihanna - Pour It Up (NSFW)

I wouldn't ordinarily bombard you with a series of video posts, but after watching Rihanna's new music video yesterday I was left with no choice! It was allegedly banned after just ten minutes, joining S&M and We Found Love in the list of 'controversial' videos; it seems the world was not quite ready for such an in-you-face display of erotica in a music video.

I happen to be huge fan of Rihanna and find her persona to be not only refreshing, but also liberating- she's a young woman who appears to write her own rulebook and is not afraid of her own sexuality. I actually find the video to be quite artistic and creative despite the fact that is perhaps more appropriate for an adult audience. Not to mention as a fellow Caribbean woman I can't help but admire here wire bra and those dance moves...high five Ri Ri!

 

New Video Alert: A$AP Rocky - Fashion Killa

I love this new visual by A$AP Rocky; the song may read like an (extensive) list of hot designers, but at least he looks cute with Rihanna!

Short Hair Equals Sexy Hair

Let me start with a little background info: in the spring of 2011 I decided (on impulse) that I no longer wanted to have shoulder length locks and opted for a Rihanna-esque crop. It was very sexy let me assure you, I have to be honest in saying that it took a disastrous attempt to colour my hair red at home (4 weeks after opting for jet black mind you) before I was brave enough to make such a drastic change. My stylist at the time knew how much I hated trims, so of course she hesitated and even suggested I compromise with a cute bob before she gave me a life-changing haircut. It was the best decision I had ever made at that point in my life, it suited my face so much more than those God-forsaken buns long-haired gals gravitate towards; it also not only made me look older, or much closer to my age but it made me feel a lot more confident and sexy. Short hair on women is the ultimate 'up middle finger' to society, but I love it!

As of late I've been having the short hair dreams; I'm seriously contemplating going short again this fall, but I can be indecisive at times, not only do I have an arsenal of products catered to longer lengths, short styles and weaves as a result of the confusion, but I know firsthand how painful the growing out phase is so for now it may have to be a short weave, but here's some inspiration for anyone else who is thinking about taking the plunge.
