Hey there and welcome to the world of 1966 Magazine! For years we know you have searched for the perfect young, trendy cosmopolitan magazine directed towards mainstream black women. Well, your search ends here!
1966 Magazine is for the melanin rich, the lover of luxury and the hustling Bo$$ Babe with beauty AND brains!
We always love looking into international style because every area or region has an unique flavor. For instance, in London Alesha Dixon was seen arriving at the BBC RADIO 2 studio looking relaxed chic. Dixon wore a white tank, ripped denim pants, gold accessories, ankle boot heels and a killer hat.
As mentioned earlier this week distressed jeans are a simple way to add a little attitude or edge to your look. Keep things tamed by wearing very neutral and conservative pieces along with your emboldened denim. This will allow the pants to have more of the spotlight than having to compete with other loud fashions.

Kenzo Resort 2016 collection is in tune with mother nature. Such a great concept to use the world around you as inspiration to try and create new textile, fabrics and color combination you might sometimes overlook.
This Resort 2016 collection is heavy on camel, tan, brown and black. What we love also are the prints they look just like the texture of rock formations in the Palm Spring Desert Mountains. The collection is so beautiful to look at and looks extremely luxe. Kenzo has done it again with models Damaris Goddrie and Karly Loyce.
Aamito Lagum for Acne Resort 2016. Have you taken note of Acne’s accessory piece. Acne went back to the 90’s with the choker necklaces that looked like tattoos. Now this is a flashback every girl used to rock back in the day and thought they were super cool because you looked like you had this bad girl image.
However, Acne did class it up a bit by making the choker thicker and added other colors like gold and copper. Now seeing it paired with beautiful runway clothes it shows that you can take an old teeny-bopper classic from the 90’s add the perfect skirt to it or coat and you are now fashionable.
If you were to take a poll you would find that most women are not born feeling naturally self confident and reassured of their greatness. This fact is not surprising when a serious examination of the times is taken into account. We live among a media storm of imagery and verbiage that mainly thrusts the external beauty of a woman into the forefront. Nevertheless, true confidence will only take shape if the inner person, who we are inwardly is beautiful. Confidence radiants from the inside out not vice versa.
The term “queen” seems to denote different things to different people when used to describe a woman’s demeanor. Most agree that it normally encompasses a woman that is emotionally strong, confident and oozes a certain power or Je ne sais quoi over all. She is not a push-over because she knows her worth and will not allow anyone to diminish it. If someone tries to pull some “bull” it is not tolerated and she will even speak her mind tactfully to show she does not care for the mistreatment. How can a woman transform into such a queen?
1. Let Go of the Past– This is probably one of the toughest things on this planet to do, but your mind and heart will surely thank you. Unlike in the movies there is no time machine, potion or personage that can change the past. What has happened has simply happened and we must be accepting of all former dealings. Focusing on such things as past mistakes or something not working out the way we wanted does not help to produce better vibes. In the film Baggage Claim Paula Patton’s character is told by a close friend, “Same actions, same outcomes…new actions, new outcomes.” Therefore, accept the past and learn from it so that you do things differently in the future for your betterment.
2. Tell Yourself Your Amazing– Shout it out ladies! Reciting a positive mantra daily or simply saying in your mind that you are wonderful can have a serious effect on your mindset. As the saying goes if you think it you can achieve it. If you WANT to feel great and WANT to have a better life it is possible to think yourself there.
3. Think Positively– Since we are on the subject of positive thinking you will be happy to know that psychologists even confirm that if a person thinks positively on anything it is more likely to end with a positive result. As crazy as it may seem, how we think is conducive to how things work out for us. If you have the right mindset your actions will suddenly work towards a favorable and positive outcome. So then, put the odds in your favor by remaining optimistic.
4. Speak Up– Never allow anyone to get away with saying or doing something that is wrong. However, this does not mean yelling, screaming or any sort of retaliation. Be mature about the situation and calmly say that you do not like what was said or done. Always be graceful and do not let anyone allow you to lose your cool because once you lose it that person then gains your power in the situation. They have won by getting you to act in a manner that goes against your true character. Some people live to see others upset and still others are sadly just not aware of all the problems they are causing. Nevertheless, the only way to get what you want and maintain happiness is to speak up. Speak up in all things whether its school, work, friends, family, relationships or social situations. Let yourself be heard because no great queen throughout history was ever silent.
Okay for those you don’t know here is a quick rundown on this super cool couple. They are UK based and Rochelle is the host of several shows including Ninja Warrior Uk, radio co-host on KISS FM and the Xtra Factor, a new spin-off of the wildly popular show The X Factor created by music genius Simon Cowell. Rochelle’s hubby Marvin is a former singer of the male group JLS who back in 2008 came in second overall on X Factor. After the show ended the group was signed to Epic Records and their first two singles both went to number one of the UK Singles Chart. Moreover, their first LP went on to go platinum and as of 2012 JLS’ debut single as well as album has been named one of the X Factor’s top 10 biggest-selling singles and albums.
Now that you are in the know let’s finally talk a little fashion! Rochelle and Marvin were spotted looking fabulous with Marvin in a leather jacket, pants as well as white tee and Rochelle in a chic pinstriped dress. When dressing as a couple it’s best not to wear ensembles that clash or compete with each other. The whole idea is to complement one another so that both fashion looks together seem seamless.

Reality starlet, actress and Broadway It Girl NeNe Leakes is showing why she is one of Atlanta’s baddest. NeNe rocked a brand new look this week which has deviated from her short hair cuts that she has worn for several years now. NeNe was one of the many celebrities in attendance for the amFar gala which was held in New York. Leakes wore a shimmery black dress, strappy heels and a new sassy hairdo’!
Leakes kept the blonde hair color but is now wearing long wavy hair with a side part. We think the hairstyle looks absolutely fab on NeNe and you can tell that she is feeling it! What prompted the change? Well, who can forget during last season’s escapades where a fellow RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) cast member contrasted Leakes tresses to that of a pack of ramen. Definitely a low blow filled with buckets of shade.
Nevertheless, NeNe is not one to let any woman’s opinion deter her so the change was because she simply wanted it! We always say to rock a style not according to what the masses say but because it is a personal choice. So then, what do you think of NeNe’s new hair look, are you feeling it?
I’m an avid tea drinker. There is not a morning that goes by where I don’t have tea. Unlike coffee I still feel healthy and not completely caffeinated in the way that coffee makes you feel. It gives me just the right amount of energy I need! But besides my preference on why I drink tea their are other reasons why you should drink tea especially green tea in the morning.
Green tea is extremely rich in antioxidants. It has 10 times more antioxidants than the amount found in fruits and vegetables! It has also shown to be more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting damage to cells.
So whats a good choice for green tea? I swear by Bigelow Green Tea 40 Count Boxes Pack of 6 so yummy and the ingredients are simple… green tea.
