I’ve always loved Solange; she’s such a free spirit.  It may seem like she’s trailing behind in her sisters larger than life shadow; her 100 million time platinum albums, and now with the recent birth of her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.  ( I’ll go in on the name another time).  Solange moves to the beat of a different drum if you ask me. Indie, pop, jazz, retro, soul sums her up pretty well.  I think her off beat style is what makes her such a viable model, besides be insanely beautiful.

Now signed to Next modelling agency I can’t wait to see what she pulls together for her official modelling body of work.  I think she’ll get some well deserved shine; she’s already modelled for Carol’s daughter, Rimmel London, and Dereon her big sis’ label.  Think she’ll make a good professional photo subject?  Here’s some pics of her past work, lover her as much as I do??

 

 

 

 

I will continue to say how much I love Solange’s style; she just doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks.  Afro, clean shaven or a turban, Solange exhibits no fear of the big chop.  I cut my hair once, and only once and I’ll never forget it.  I wanted to leap from the chair and run down the street ringing the alarm, but after a little internal pep talk I decided against it… and lived.  Everyone loved it by the way but since then I’ve twisted my hair into locks, no big chop on the horizon for me, but I won’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind.

I would however wear a turban, or at least try it out once; an outright rejection of the daily hair whoas, and all that come with it.  Plus I  find it lets a woman’s true beauty shine right through

 

 

 

 

 

In no particular order these 7 ladies pulled it out for me this week; Alicia Keys bronzed skin glows in her feather trained black Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci, worn to the Keep a Child Alive black ball.  She hosts this event every year, and this year went for edge by belting her look with a spiked belt.  Love it or hate it?

Kim Kardashian’s looks often resemble each other, but this dress caught my attention with its nude color and black laser cut details, very sexy.  Nicole Scherzinger sizzled in hot pink, haven’t noticed her on the scene much lately till she wore this number to the premiere of Cars 2 with husband Louis Hamilton by her side.

 

Katie Holmes and La La Vasquez must of read my post on Rompers, because both ladies hit the streets in their own takes on the look.  Katie in her navy jumpsuit is beyond cute, with the wide leg styling she makes this look seem completely fool proof a great look for day. Lala who has a curvier body opts for a strapless patterned suit belted at the waist she wore to celebrate her birthday in Las Vegas with hubby Carmelo Anthony.

In keeping with the wide leg styling which I think I need to ditch my skinny jeans for, Solange Knowles pairs an emerald green pair with a cute slashed shoulder white top.  Her Afro puts her retro look over the top, definitely not for the insecure.  I love that’s she’s such a free spirit and does not shy away from attention grabbing looks.

 

Style Queen of the week is……

Solange Knowles brings the golden rays of sunshine with her to the Carol’s Daughter & Monoi Repairing Collection Launch at Sephora in New York this week.  Yellow is hot, and just about everywhere.  Love her loose fitting trousers which she’s belted at the waist and paired with a crisp white shirt, flowing fro and pedicured white nails in strappy sandals.  Even notice that her toes and fingers are polished different colours; you don’t always have to match!

More pics after you hit it.

For those days when vintage inspired looks just beckon and call your name, as the summer weather tends to do, what with all the money being spent on attending all these fabulously chic events, a queen needs to find fashion solutions that are trendy and affordable.

I put together this look with Solange Knowles in mind; she is such a free spirit and is known for her love of vintage styling which she changes for no one.  Attending a music festival?  Going to an art museum?  Then this look would be perfect for you and will ring it at only $97!
