You can’t beat the original! The legendary Karl Kani label worn by some of the biggest names in the streets from Lil’ Kim to Biggie; is bringing it’s iconic vibe to the PLT fashion gang. Therefore, break out a credit card then get into these pieces and visuals! The hottest collection for summer is here… the Pretty Little Thing x Karl Kani Collection Starring Teyana Taylor.
This morning, the PLT brand excitedly shared the news of their latest fashion collab release on social media. PLT gushed, “It’s here! Two era’s of fashion collide, presenting Pretty Little Thing x Karl Kani starring [the] Teyana Taylor. Only dropping once. Shop the collection right now.”
Immediately, positive reaction and mad love starting pouring in droves. Everything from “wig snatched” to “gimme please” could be seen from tweets to posts. Plus, if you got a chance to view the complete line, it is easy to see why. The collection with a high-end urban flair is fresh, edgy and seriously popping.
Furthermore, it does not deviate from the Pretty Little Thing philosophy. Chic couture at an affordable price point. Nothing in this collaborative collection is anywhere near $100! We spied that the range is pretty much between $18-$60. So then, if you have been wanting to update your wardrobe or own a piece of real fashion culture; you can and without asking for a loan.
Why? That is always the question when two powerhouses up and decide to super cop up. The Pretty Little Thing brand is quite vocal in regards to it’s reasons for helping to close the gap of the golden age of street wear with the modern day. PLT reveals,
“Karl Kani’s iconic street wear classics get a reboot for new season as two fashion eras collide. Teyana Taylor goes back to her roots and hits the streets of Harlem. Representing the originator of urban fashion.
Staying true to the 90’s legacy. This drop is all about paying homage to the styles of the Karl Kani movement that infused hip hop and street culture. Think sporty separates. Fresh outerwear and denim with an urban edge. This is the collaboration to take your look all the way up.”
It definitely takes a village. There is no “I” in team and Karl Kani plus other movers as well as shakers apart of the project wanted to give it up to all involved. Here is what the originator of hip hop style and the team had to say.
“I want to thank my big homie Umar Kamani for the vision and putting this all together “FOR THE CULTURE;” and the whole Pretty Little Thing CREW for this amazing moment of my life. And to top it off, Teyana Taylor starring in this iconic collaboration. Turn up.
-Karl Kani
The master of couture and celebrity stylist to the stars, EJ King, had a few words to say as well. The Creative Director and cast member of BET networks new show “About the Business;” also styled the PLT x Karl Kani ad campaign. Speaking of the campaign and working with Miss TT EJ says,
“I had such a blast doing this shoot with Teyana Taylor for the Pretty Little Thing x Karl Kani campaign shoot! It’s always dope working with my sis because she is such a visionary and knows her body and style; that when we come together it’s always magic! Shout out to my bro Umar Kamani, the whole Pretty Little Thing team for bringing me on to do this epic campaign!”
Hurry! Get your pieces from the collection at www.prettylittlething.com. The brand is only dropping these looks once, so when they are gone, they are gone.

It’s getting hot out since it’s officially summertime. Which means you it’s time for cookouts and BBQ’s and of course yummy desserts. But it’s to hot to have the oven on so why not try these No Bake Desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth and keep your home cool.
I know for some of you it might seem scandalous not use an oven to bake. But heck, when it’s hot outside, I say skip the oven and have your dessert too!
For recipes on how to make that happen, check out the ones below or head over to my favorite dessert blog, Captured Desserts for mouth watering ideas.
Yield: ~25 truffles | Inspired by Something Swanky and Savory Simple
Ingredients
16 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 – 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for dusting
Directions
Prepare the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan on medium-high heat, just until it begins boiling. Immediately transfer the heavy whipping cream to the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Chill in refrigerator for several hours or preferably overnight.
The next day, use a truffle scoop or hand-and-spoon method to shape the truffles. Chill in freezer for another couple hours, then prepare a bowl of cocoa powder and roll the truffles in it until completely coated. Chill again before serving, or enjoy right away.
Blend all of the ingredients together on high speed until smooth – about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed as you go.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds. If your popsicle mold has slots for sticks, you can insert them before freezing – if not, freeze for 2 hours, then put a wooden popsicle stick in the middle (that is what I did). Continue to freeze for an additional 6 hours or overnight – overnight is recommended for easy removal.
Run popsicle molds under hot water to remove easily.
Bling bling! Ready to get your shine on all summer? Well put some respect on your makeup game by copping the spanking new Fenty Beauty Island Bling 2-In-1 Liquid Eye Shimmer! It’s absolutely hypnotic.
So then, what can this little baby do? Uhm… can you say multi-faceted? Yes, Fenty Beauty’s latest beauty drop can serve an artistic multi-purpose if you do choose. You see Island Bling’s dual-ended design allows for two different finishes (Mamacita/Tini Kini) instead of one.
On one end of the product you will find a dazzling metallic eye shimmer. This shimmer can create a sleek eye look with brilliant, eye-popping tone. However, if you want to take things up a notch all you have to do is flip the script as well as the product over!
The other end of Island Bling contains an iridescent glitter topcoat. The cool thing is you can wear it alone. Which is great because glossy lids are still a major trend. Or you can mix it with the shimmer in order to create a spell-binding, hyper-prismatic shade. Now that’s getting a lot of bang for your buck.
Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about looking ashy either. Fenty Beauty promises that they created their new liquid eye shimmer with all skin tones in mind. Thanks Rihanna.
Plus, this product will be great when creating summery makeup looks. How so? The millennial cosmetics brand in regards to Island Bling says that they developed it with, “sunset inspired shades [that] hypnotize with color -flipping micropearls that shift with light.”
Welp, we’re sold (LOL). Get yours too online and in-store. Island Bling 2-In-1 Liquid Eye Shimmer retails for $26.

The Meghan Markle Wedding Dress is certainly a luxurious marvel fit for a princess! Furthermore, it has also been one of the most well-kept secrets EVER in royal history. Who would make it, would it be traditional or perhaps be a more unconventional design?
However, now the cat is officially out the bride couture bag! Meghan’s spell-binding gown is a design by British designer, Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy!
The delightful and elegant three quarters sleeve gown with dazzling accompanying veil garnered several gasps as well as oohs and ahhs. Meghan is said to have chose Keller due to her impeccable tailoring and relaxed demeanor. Truly traits any bride would love!
The wedding dress and veil is made out of luxe silk. Also, the dramatic veil which stretched over a whooping 16 feet was embroidered with flowers. They represent 53 countries of the commonwealth.
Moreover, as in previous royal weddings no bridal gown would be complete without sparkling jewels. The bride wore understated yet glamorous jewelry (bracelet and earrings) by Cartier. Furthermore, Meghan incorporated more gems within a piece no princess can be without… a tiara.
Her tiara, on loan from the Queen, was at one time a possession of Queen Mary. Therefore, it can rightfully be known as the Queen Mary tiara. Although, the former Ms. Markle was able to view the entire collection of the Queen’s tiaras; Meghan chose the one that fit her personal flair and the Queen’s approval.
Yet, there’s more! So then, let’s get straight into all the royal wedding details. For weeks, potential designers had been tossed around. Yet, Givenchy’s Keller turned out to be the perfect woman for the job.
Nevertheless, word on the bridal fashion street is that several other designers and high end couture houses had been in the running. Rumored finalists included the exquisite Ralph & Russo, Stella McCartney as well as even the designer who back in 1981 masterfully created Princess Diana’s wedding gown.
Throughout the wedding you will notice there are touches of Prince Harry’s beloved late mother, Princess Diana. All tastefully done and full of immense meaning. Case in point, Meghan’s bouquet as well as engagement ring.
The palace revealed that like the engagement ring, Prince Harry spearheaded things. He picked the flowers himself for Meghan from the Royal Garden. What did he choose? A selection of Forget Me Nots that also happen to have been Diana’s favorite flower. Someone quick… pass the Kleenex!
Nevertheless, what is more is that Meghan’s engagement ring incorporates two stones from Diana’s personal collection. So then, through the florals as well as the ring; one can say that Diana in a way was truly on hand for her son’s big day.
Before any vows and even one single coach arrived at the wedding venue. Some official business was conducted. That of assigning titles, which is done by the Queen. Therefore, what titles did she select for both Harry and Meghan?
Besides, that of being a prince of England, Harry will also now be known as a duke. The Duke of Sussex with Meghan being the Duchess of Sussex. Dukedom is a high honorary title. Furthermore, Harry will be picking up a title that was sort of lost in the sands of time.
The last Duke of Sussex was Queen Victoria’s favorite uncle; who also walked Victoria down the aisle at her wedding. At his death, having no heir the title went along with him.
Of course, we all knew the bride and bridal party would arrive looking absolutely fabulous. However, the guests and attendees were just as stunning! From Oprah’s divine pink Stella McCartney design to Amal Clooney’s vibrant showstopper mustard yellow ensemble; the fashion could simply not be ignored.
Yet, did you know all in attendance was told what to wear? For the men, the attire selection was a morning suit or a lounge suit. A morning suit traditionally has tails while a lounge suit is a type of business suit.
For the women, the outfit of choice was a day dress and a hat. Also, due to protocol no open toe shoes or “loud” tights are allowed.
As for the groom, Prince Harry as well as his brother, Prince William arrived looking dashing in their handmade military attire. The ensemble’s took one person an entire week in order to complete. Both brothers served their country and have become well-known for being willing volunteers to bring about change in a number of regions.
The smallest members of the bridal party were also adorably decked out in haute couture. For instance, all the flower girls like the bride also wore dresses by Givenchy. While their shoes were given a personal touch by having their initials engraved into them. A gift from the bride to them.
Nevertheless, the page boys also received gifts and high end touches. They wore impeccable handmade military blues. Plus, Meghan made sure they were given something they could keep forever. To add personalization their names were engraved into their coats.
Did you catch the ceremony? Well, for many around the globe they either needed to stay up late or rise quite early. Nevertheless, we put together a brief cheat sheet of all the festivities. The ceremony proceeded as follows:
If you thought the new people’s princess was one and done when it comes to dresses; boy would you be mistaken! After her fairytale ride in a carriage with her Prince Charming, Meghan then changed into wedding dress number two.
The second dress was designed by Stella McCartney, which the British designer describes as a “high neck lily white gown in silk crepe.” This dress was designed to be worn during the couple’s wedding reception held at Frogmore House.
Nonetheless, while the dress is iconic, no one could miss the humongous additional rock on Meghan’s hand. As a gift from her new husband, Meghan received an enchanting aquamarine ring. The beautifully crafted ring had belonged to Princess Diana.
Therefore, what is next for the now Princess Harry of Wales? Meghan plans on becoming a legal U.K. citizen.
Besides, continuing to learn and execute royal etiquette; Meghan will have to pass a test. One that fully encompasses the British culture and history.
However, it is quite a difficult test. How hard can the Duchess of Sussex expect it to be? Just last year, 43,000 applicants failed it flat out. Ouch. Nevertheless, with the intelligence and “can do” attitude that Meghan possesses we are confident she will pass with flying colors.
Growing up Disney might of had us all thinking we had to be princesses in order for our dreams to come true; as well as, enjoy a classic “happily ever after.” However, you can live the dream with your very own Prince Charming! Today, we are going to drop the fairytale bomb on how to find a 3 Stone Engagement Ring that looks enchantingly like Meghan Markles!

Fashion reports are already predicting that Meghan’s wedding dress of choice will fly off racks globally. Not convinced the same will be true of her ring style? Well, the fact that in 2016 Ms. Markle was the most Googled Actress, proves that searchers want to know what Meghan is doing and wearing… at all times.

“Did a fun feature with Draya for Forbes. Thank you to the lovely ladies at SUISTUDIO for their impeccable women’s suiting options!
We did a thing yesterday! We trespassed on unauthorized property. We drove across a wild field. We lost the reflector to the little river… but we got some dope shots. So yeah we did a thing yesterday!”
