NICKI TO HOST MTV EUROPEAN AWARD IN GLASGOW


It has been confirmed that Hip-hop artist, Nicki Minaj would be hosting this year's MTV European Music Awards set to take place on Sunday, November 9 in Glasgow, Scotland. Not only would she be hosting the event but she has been nominated for 4 categories (Best hip-hop, Best Female, Best Fans and Best Look).

She excitedly announced this news on her twitter and Instagram accounts accompanied with a captivating and royal photo of her sitting on a throne.



Her last and newest release of her music video, 'Anaconda' is still seared and fresh in our heads... Y'all who has seen that video understand what i'm talking about. The video did very well break Vevo's record for getting most views within 24 hours of it's release.. how does 19.6 million hits sound?

Kudos Nicki on your achievement.

TREND REPORT: THE FRINGE AFFAIR!


Loads of trends have been making a come-back this season... well, I see it as Fashion Re-cycling. Trends that rocked way back when and then are coming back with a twist and looking more chic as ever! One of those among many is the 'Fringe Trend'. 

Before I move forward let me take this moment to clarify a little. When I say 'Fringe', I ain't talking about the popular Fringe hairstyle or 'Bangs' as it's fondly called.. *moving on*

One thought or one thing reminiscent of this trend are the Cow-boy folks or the Coachella crowd, they've been spot-on this trend throughout history and through the end of time, haha!

Recently, we've been spotting lots of fringe/tassels on almost everything, from bags to shoes, dresses, bikinis, jackets and the way it's been inculpated in fashion pieces and looks, from formal wears, cocktail dresses, chic skirts... hmm, I might as well get on the fringe wagon, i'm guessing it's an affair i'd be sure to love ( and hey.. i'll be sure to post pics when i do :))

There are various ways to channel this boho style to make you stand out, if you're afraid to go all out on this trend, like my wimpy self, you can start minimally or small.. maybe pairing your formal outfit with a strap shoe with a fringe detail or simply with a fringe-detailed clutch. Get some inspiration from the above pix :) ... till next time, Muuah!

It's been rumored that Chris Brown would love to marry, settle down and have kids with  Karreuche Tran some day. Friends say He is tired if the roller-coaster ride and knows Karreuche loves him to death (awwww..), and  he is tired of hurting dear Karreuche.
