KATE'S ROYAL WEDDING DRESS.. DEF OR DEF NOT?

As you may know, William and Kate ::ahem:: Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the night earlier this morning and if your anything like me you were up at 4am with tea in hand to see the whole affair go down! This being my first royal wedding, I didn't really know what to expect but was sure I was going to be amazed. I had seen previous footage of Princess Diana's wedding and watched her televised funeral myself, so to see her son all grown up marrying his very own princess was something I just could not miss. It was so heart-warming to see all the support they had from their community and other countries; the British pride was definitely in the air. 

Kate stepped out in a Grace Kelly inspired, Sarah Burton by Alexander McQueen; her tiara was a loan from the Queen. Kate really looked amazing but I must say, I was expecting more glamour.. it was a very simple and timeless piece. Maybe extravagant isn't her style and in that case, that's okay because she was gorgeous and who doesn't want to be fab on their wedding day? let alone a royal one!

Def.. or Def not?

 

I'D ONLY LET MY BOYFRIEND DO MY MAKEUP IF...

...we video taped it and it came out as cute as this! LOVE it!

JAILTIME FOR YOUR DESIGNER KNOCK-OFF??

Do you like counterfit bags?? Often visit Chinatown for the newest knock-off? Good, me either haha. If it is your thing, you should know New York Counsilwoman Margaret Chin has just proposed a bill that will land you jail time or a fine of $1000 if caught purchasing a knock-off! Council Woman Chin is frustrated by the increasing tourist and resident traffic flooding her Chinatown district mainly in search of fake designer merchandise. Chin has already gotten lots of positive feedback for her proposal and now has five co-sponsers supporting her on this fight to stop a growing problem. If you ask me, it doesn't really matter. I think she should put all this effort in finding the three teens from Harlem who attacked that poor delivery man... I'm just saying!

SOLANGE, CASSIE, & SELITA EBANKS TALK 'GOOD HAIR' .

Lately, there has been much controversy toward Carol's Daughter for choosing Solange Knowles, Cassie and Selita Ebanks to represent their line of hair care products. Many are not pleased with the company for selecting all 'light skinned' women as their new faces but with this recently released video about what 'good hair' means to them, I actually think they are the perfect fit. Besides, Solange can do no wrong, I totally have a girl crush!

Can you believe Cassie was envious of curls when she had pin straight hair? What about Selita and her desire for hair that was course enough to be wrapped without pins?! It all just goes to show that no matter what kind of hair we have, we always wonder if the grass is really greener on the other side. It's important though that we cherish what we were given and ROCK it!

JUICY FINDS: SWIMSUITS.

The weather here in New York today was A-Mazing; the trees and flowers have started to bloom and it finally seems like Spring is in the air. Although I spent most of my day indoors, I couldn't help but browse the internet for all the swim suits I could possibly see myself frolicking on the beach in this summer haha. Here are a few of my favorite plus size finds! Enjoy.

TAKE 2: NAOMI CAMPBELL vs. BEYONCE KNOWLES

Earlier today, FashionBombDaily released these magazine covers of Beyonce and Naomi Campbell wearing this African inspired beaded dress from the much anticipated Gucci Spring 2011 collection. There is no doubt that this frock is BOMB, but my question to you is... who blew it up?
