This years Variety Awards was all about young Hollywood! While we have gotten used to seeing some of the same people on the red carpet for decades, it was refreshing to see some young new talent taking our screens by storm. Zendaya, Yara Shahidi and Halle & Chloe were joined by a host of other young superstars like Gabby Douglas & Ashton Sanders.

We always have mixed feelings about Cassie and her music, but one thing we know for sure is that we like her style. Back in August she covered Galore Magazine to promote her new single with rapper G-Eazy, “Love a Loser.” The message behind the song is very clear: I’d rather lose a lover than love a loser. It’s definitely giving all the right “summer” vibes, perfect for the weather we are about to experience in Nigeria!
Listen to the song here.
This years VMA’s were held in Inglewood California live (only the second time ever!) at The Forum. Katy Perry was the host but we weren’t that impressed to be honest. On the other hand, we were happy to see Pink win the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award.

Yes Kim K with the Jackie O vibes! While we are all used to seeing Kimmy in clothes so tight it’s a wonder she can breathe, its quite refreshing to see her in this light too. Kim & North gave us all kinds of life in this first lady, jackie O inspired shoot for Interview Magazine. As usual North West steals the show in these adorable mommy daughter get ups!
So Black-ish is one of our faaaaaavvvv shows! Both Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson have been a part of our TV Lives for so long that it was great to have them back at the same time when Black-ish came to our screens. It’s been an amazing 3 years and now there’s even a spin off show for Yara Shahidi – College-ish. This gives me so many The Cosby’s and A Different World vibes it’s unreal. I’m just happy to have some good quality, black TV with a moral at the end of every episode like back in the day! Lmao.
While this pair are usually pulling gags, leaving everyone in stitches, for this shoot they decided to go sleek and classy. As always I love any and everything Tracee Ellis Ross wears and Anthony Anderson is definitely giving us that grown and sexy, salt n pepper look. We are here for it all day! #Goals
Kylie Jenner! Just when you think the youngest of the clan can’t shock you anymore… she goes and whips her boobs out! Lol. While this was a shocker at first sight, I actually love the looks she had on (though I’m not sure where one would go wearing this) and also I guess I’m a lot less shocked now that she’s pregnant as well! Wheew! She really is making it tough to keep up with them.
M.A.C have had a lot of epic collaborations with musicians like Rihanna, Nikki Minaj and more but none have had us as excited as this Aaliyah collection. Finally a pallet for people who want a more natural look but is just as long lasting as the rest of your makeup. I have never been one for heavy makeup, it’s meant to enhance your beauty… not change your face. This is all about the clean face, smokey eye and subtle yet sexy lip. #Summer2018 we can’t wait!
While Kim K has had a hot streak all around the world for the last couple of years, no where seems to be as accepting as the Arabic community. I’m not sure if it’s her Armenian heritage or the fact that despite her Californian upbringing she still has very strong ‘Arabic’ features. She covered Harper’s Bazaar Arabia who have dubbed her an “Iconic Spirit” – and if you give credit where it is due, Kimmy has done an amazing job of making herself a staple in all our lives.
The 2017 NBA awards was the first annual awards ceremony held by the National Basketball Association back in June. It was held at Basketball City at Pier 36 in NYC and hosted by Drake.
This years Emmy Awards really reminded us how great TV has been this year. With amazing shows like The Handmaids Tale, This is Us, Westworld and long time favorites like House of Cards, it’s amazing we’ve been able to actually get anything else done! As always, the red carpet was on fire (with the exception of one or two people 🙈)
