Rapper NAS Joins Menswear Fashion ... Two Words: High-End Streetwear

Rappers switching gears into the fashion world has become the norm these days. So when word got out that rapper NAS was creating a collection, I was hardly surprised! Teaming up with Jace Lipstein of Grungy Gentlemen, NAS has designed a 33-piece high-end menswear collection called HSTRY. Letting their designs speak for themselves, the streetwear clothing has minimal branding and includes leather outerwear pieces with quilted detailing and sleek elbow patches. The full line will be available August 1, and while prices aren't confirmed, pieces will range from $85-$1800.

And on a personal note, the menswear pieces are pretty stylish. I'm a lover of bomber jackets and snapbacks for a more relaxed look, but I'll leave these looks to the boys.

I don't know about you, but I'm loving these! What are your thoughts bombshells?!?!

Summer's Officially Here! Is Your Handbag Ready?

It's the weekend of July 4th, which officially marks the summer season! And if you've ever asked yourself whether you can be prepared for anything that's thrown  your way, then this post is for you! Tackling summer survival can be a hassle, so one of the prime duties of any fashion maven would be to make adjustments to their handbag. With longer days and more sociable nights, the activities of this season call for music festivals, beach visits, weddings and more!

So I took it upon myself to scour the web and round up some handbag essentials for the summer that I'm sure you'll love.

Hair Tamer

Hair can be a hassle when it comes to summer heat, so headbands are a major staple for pushing everything back or accessorizing a simple pony.

Sunglasses

Perfect for dodging those summer rays, sunglasses should have a special place in your purse if they don't already. This season, cat-eye and round-eye frames are a few trends to keep by your side.

To see the rest of this much-needed summer list, visit my full story at StyleBlazer.com

Enjoy your holiday weekend Bombshells!!

If after seeing this pic you still aren't the least bit tempted to buy Ms. Rowland's newest CD, "Talk A Good Game" then you need a reality check! A review of the CD will be up as soon as I get some time to buy it, and crawl into a corner -- even though I'm already hearing good things!

Bombshell Crush: Khloe Kardashian

I'm personally not a fan of praising reality stars -- rather I enjoy snickering at them from my bed on Sunday afternoons ... so this BombShell Crush edition proves that I think Khloe Kardashian is much more than that.

Not forgetting that reality TV is what began her career, this basketball wife never let it completely define her success. Already holding the titles of fashion designer, television personality and businesswoman, Khloe continues to build her empire with her blog through CELEBUZZ.

And let's not forget about her fashionable appearances or entertaining Instagram account!

I think I'm convinced Khloe is not just a pretty face ... anymore.

What do you say BombShells?

Life's A Beach. Wear A Suit.

Life's a beach ... especially during the months of June, July and August. Since the spring weather wasn't so promising, it's safe to say that you bombshells can't wait for summer! Whether you decide to soak up some sun rays or splash through waves, your most important decision won't be which sunscreen to choose, but what you're wearing while slathering it on.

Check out the most fashionable swimsuit trends to fall into this season here.

And trust me bombshells, by the looks of the swimsuit choices ... you'll thank me!

Diary Entry _001: Am I Ready For This?

I hang up.

But it's not like the dramatic 'hang-up' you do with the old school house phone that's attached to the wall, or even the cellular flip phone where you feel your confidence level rise as you slam it shut...

Nope. I just tap the screen and hang up.

And then I want to call right back.

I want to call back because this feels all too weird to me. I want to call back because this is what I'm accustom to doing with him -- hanging up during heated arguments and hitting the redial button like the last five minutes never happened. I want to call back because for one of the first times in my 22 years of living, I finally grow some balls and say out loud how I feel about not being appreciated.

And after I go through the emotions of how tired I am being pushed around, the balls disappear ... no seriously, they vanished.

I guess it doesn't help that my period came today either, hunh?

I haven't done this in a while...

Actually write what I'm feeling. I swear it makes life so much easier for people like me. I would rather stare at a computer screen or blank piece of paper expressing my feelings, instead of voicing them to another judgmental human being who swears they'll 'understand' with a soggy-looking facial expression.

But it feels good.

I'm not going to call back. I'm not going to call back. I'M NOT GOING TO CALL BACK.

Inside it feels like my life is falling apart ... but that's how it usually feels when you get slapped in the face by reality, right? You would think that after all my years of life experiences I would be able to deal with shit like this.

Guess not. *plays with thumbs*

I'm not ready for this. It's not what I'm used to .. and I don't like things that I'm not used to. I don't feel comfortable ... but writing down how uncomfortable I am feels right.

How ironic is that ...

Even though I'm questioning whether I'm ready, I am sure that I'm not going to call back.

I'm not going to redial the number and wait to hear his voice. I'm not going to doubt myself anymore. I'm not going to focus on what's NOT going on so much that I forget what IS going on. I'm not going to stress about not being where I want to be in my career.

I'm not..

I'm not.....

I'M NOT.

It feels real this time.

Random Bombshell: I Spy With My Little Eye ... Queen B in The Flesh!!

Okay, so let me set the scene for you...

It was a windy Sunday evening and the Hot 97 SummerJam concert had just let out. And let's just say, I enjoyed myself! It was my first time going and even though I didn't get floor seats, my level 100 seats gave me a pretty good view. But anyway, as crowds of people began walking back to cars, screams suddenly shot out and all you could hear was, "It's Beyonce and Jay-ZzzzzzZZ!"

My friend and I jumped into paparazzi mode -- partially because  we wanted to see if the yelled statement was true, and partially because ... I mean, it was Beyonce and Jay-Z, duh! I have to admit, I don't carry the genius "still-hand" skill that took this pic (my friend was, before he got pushed away by security while I screamed "Take the pic of Beyonceeee!") But I did get to view Queen B in the flesh, and let's just say, she looked adorable!

Even though they came to the concert to be fans, Beyonce (dressed in a Helmut Lang blazer) and her hubby (dressed in a Blame Society t-shirt) stole the show in a matter of seconds!

And at that very moment bombshells, my night was made! I didn't care that my voice would be scarce the next day from yelling, or that my hair would look like a rag doll in the next few minutes from the rain and humidity. All I knew was that I got to see one of the top famous women in the world, face to face.

And hopefully that won't be the last time...

xoxo

Until next time Bombshells..

Bombshell Crush: Solange Knowles

Outgrowing the label of "Beyonce's little sister," Solange Knowles knows how to stay in the NOW -- and keep up a super cute afro -- which are both valid reasons as to why she's my current Bombshell Crush!

If you follow her amazing twitter or instagram account, then you should know why I'm utterly in lust with her! Not only does she give you sneak peeks -- like her cover with Complex Mag or her spread with InStyle Magazine -- but you can also get exclusive looks on her personal style (which always seems to hit the front pages!). 

Entering a new realm with the music industry, Solange's independent spirit and close relationship with her parents give you even more reason to love this fabulous lady! And personally, I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve next!

Bombshell Crush: Kerry Washington

Knock Knock ... guess who's June issue of Elle finally appeared on the doorstep? This cover was definitely nipped in the bud, simply because it features my current girl crush: Kerry Washington. Not only is she the number one scandal on television, but she can be seen stomping down every red carpet there is! Known as Hollywood's 'best kept secret,' Washington is finally being recognized for the star that she's always been. I can't wait to see what secrets Ben Austen squeezed out of this beauty!

Toodles!

Off to a quiet corner...
