Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Printed Leggings

Leggings lover? Well, our beloved basic leggings have been revamped into prints and patterns bringing us a whole new range of endless options. Bold abstract, subtle florals and bright tribals…no print is off limits when it comes to leggings this season. A sure way to rock this look is to keep everything simple and let your leggings be your statement piece. Nicki Minaj shows us the right AND the wrong way of rockin’ this trend. You don’t wanna have an overload of prints. Yes, mixing prints are in right now, but it’s best to stick with ONE trend at a time!

 Remember graphic prints will draw attention to your bottom-half, so if you have wide hips like me, try to stay conscience of the patterns you choose. No one is forcing you to rock a particular print lol! It’s all about what you are comfortable in. Leggings are a comfy statement piece, no longer just worn around the house or in the gym. So make sure when you step out in yours, it’s very tastefully done!

I went for a more versatile look this weekend and rocked my Forever 21 tribal leggings with a black blazer and a pair of retro Jordan 3′s. I’d seen Tracee Ellis Ross MURDER this look and I had to add my own twist to it. Something so simple and inexpensive can have epic results!

Go all out for this trend! Rock your leggings with bright colors, killer heels, big hair and loads of jewels for a style that only could be describe as….SICK!

Ask Bri: Winter Wedding Attire

Hey Glam-Aholics! It’s been a while but I’m bacccccccccck with another haute “Ask Bri” request!
“What do you suggest a guest wears to her friend’s winter wedding? I’m thin so, I don’t think form-fitting dresses do me that much justice”
Show-stopping sheaths, classic long-sleeved and jewelled mesh dresses would be the ideal looks to wear to a enchanted winter wedding. Since our Glam-Aholic reader notified us that she is slim…I decided to use the petite Kourtney Kardashian as my inspiration for this request. Kourtney ’s small figure and sophisticated style of one sleeved, mesh and wrap dresses allows her to show off her best assets..her legs!
I was able to find six dresses that you can definitely wear to a winter wedding, from my favorite online shop Asos. You’ll be sure to feel comfortable and look winter wedding ready with these styles!
Please send all “Ask Bri” request to glamaholiclife@gmail.com!

Confess Your Glam: Skye Townsend

The comedic, free spirited, vibrant singer, Skye Townsend, the daughter of director Robert Townsend is paving her OWN way into stardom. The beautiful starlet became an internet sensation after uploading a YouTube video of her striking impersonation of Beyoncé, the video received an impressive one million views! When she isn’t surprising her loyal fans with usteam and YouTube videos, you can catch Skye in a web-series on BET.com, “8 Days a Week”.  Skye’s recipe for success= No Days Off…Team Glam-Aholic was blessed enough to score an interview with the rising star..

Arjaunjubri: As an artist, where do you draw inspiration from? When it comes to my music, I use my life and the things that I go through as inspiration. I try to make a story out of special moments or any life changing events.

Arjaunjubri: We are obsessed with your signature Ombre’ hairstyles, how often do you change up your hair? Thank you! I change my hair all the time! I constantly find myself getting bored and experimenting with colors. My hair is currently jet black and I’m not used to having less than 3 colors at one time.. lol. I probably try a new color every 4 months.

Arjaunjubri: How would you describe your personal style? The key to fashion for me is finding things that are affordable and unique. I sometimes challenge myself by picking out ugly items and seeing if I can make them work. I have fun with my clothing choices. I definitely find myself looking like a hippie 90% of the time.

Arjaunjubri: We love your character on 8 Days A Week, how did you get the opportunity to work on the show? I was so blessed to be a part of that production and cast. I actually received a call from the writer. She said that nobody else could play Jade and she’d love if I came in and read for the role. I guess the reading went well because we began filming a few weeks later!

Arjaunjubri: What’s your favorite beauty product that you just can’t live without? I have dark circles under my eyes so I don’t think I could live without my concealer lol. However, I love my eyebrow brush/pencil. Eyebrows are serious business in my house. My mother has made sure that I understand the importance of a clean brow ;) .

Arjaunjubri: You always rock the hottest shoes, what’s your favorite shoe brand?! Half of my shoes are probably knock offs of legit brands lol! I love anything funky. Jeffrey Campbell’s shoes are amazing. I just can’t afford too many pairs just yet!

Arjaunjubri: What is your absolute favorite place to shop? EBAY! I am an Ebay junkie. The concept of just picking the item and getting it shipped to you is so epic to me. I also love Goodwill. People underestimate the amazing things that Goodwill can offer!

Arjaunjubri: Are there any future projects that we can look forward to you working on? I am currently working on a single and other acting roles. I am just riding the waves and allowing God to put the right projects in my life at the right time. 2012 ought to be a good year.

Arjaunjubri: What advice would you give to an aspiring artist? Love the art, not the perks of being an artist. If you don’t know who you are, this business can make you unrecognizable 

Glam-Aholic Retail Therapy: Target

While doing my weekly routine of visiting my favorite store Target, I walked by these jeans and immediately put them in my shopping cart. I did not hesitate for one moment…I didn’t even look at the price! lol! But when I did, I couldn’t believe that they were only $22.99!

The first image that came to mind was Kim Kardashian rockin’ her cobalt blue jeans. I’d been searching high & low trying to find a pair, but never had any luck. Do NOT sleep on Target! They have some of the most stylish pieces and a great size scale. Since these don’t offer a lot of stretch, I had to get a size 13. Yes, I wear a size 13 lol! But anyway, I believe that this style goes up to a size 17..how cool is that? They also come in red so I’m gonna grab that color also!

HAPPY MIA RAY DAY!!

HAPPY MIA RAY DAY EVERYONE!!

Yes, today is my 27th birthday and we all know how I love to celebrate it as the national holiday that it is! Like every year, this weekend I celebrated with all of my closest family and friends. We had an absolute ball! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the day has in store :)

So what we’ve ALL been waiting for….my outfit! TA DA!! Char of Chargrels Couture knocked my socks off with this look! To watch the look unfold right before my eyes and then to actually put it on was like magic. I’ve never worn a custom piece before and to have something fit me like a glove was… EVERYTHING! The stitch and detail to every aspect of the look was so well done that YES, I will be wearing these pieces again. Together or separate…they will be worn AGAIN!

This bow received soooo many compliments that night! I got called everything from a Christmas present to a wedding cake LOL! This was definitely my favorite part of the look. Look out for this to be available soon on her website! Follow her on twitter @Chargrels

Confess Your Fresh: Jay-Z For GQ’s ‘Men Of The Year’

The King of Hip-Hop Jay-Z is named one of GQ’S ‘Men Of The Year’, and he wears the title well while looking “photo shoot fresh” for the December cover. I love Hov’s versatile style he can go from rockin’ timberlands to a well tailored suit….from Marcy to Madison’s Square! Jigga who last received the award back in 2006 opens up about growing up without a father, watching the throne with Kanye and his unborn child..

On working with a perfectionist like Kanye West: “I think he just can’t help himself. He puts so much into everything, and he’s like, ‘You have to treat it like I treat it.’ It drives you crazy sometimes—like when you’ve put seventy-five versions of a snare on one song and he’s like, ‘No!’ and you’re like, ‘Come on, man.’


On breaking the baby news at the MTV VMA’s:  “It was actually Bey who wanted to announce it. You want to be in control of your life.”  He also said he will “100%” be changing diapers.

On the scar it left when his father left his family: “If your dad died before you were born, yeah, it hurts—but it’s not like you had a connection with something that was real. Not to say it’s any better—but to have that connection and then have it ripped away was, like, the worst. My dad was such a good dad that when he left, he left a huge scar. He was my superhero.”

I’ve been a fan of Jay-Z’s from day one and I’m excited to hear him rhyme about fatherhood now!
