Nicki Minaj is proving to be one elite travel fashion girl! Minaj has been living it up in the lovely Turks and Caicos for the past several days. She has been spotted lounging in one jaw-dropping after another. We didn’t think she could beat her enticing red swimsuit but boy were we wrong!

Versace, Versace, Versace! A new favorite look from Nicki’s Turks and Caicos stint has emerged. We spotted the hip hop mogul wearing a Versace swimsuit accompanied by blue Chanel flip flops and plenty of gold jewelry.

Now these Chanel flip flops are definitely a must-see. They are embellished with gold chains and come complete with the signature Chanel logo. It seems as though Nicki was gifted with these and was more than happy to receive them. On social she stated,

“Thank God you blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over you. Baby good looking out. Best thing you never had. Thank you for this epic gift.”

We want to be gifted too (LOL)! Nicki is one lucky girl who we wouldn’t mind raping her closet every now and then. Nevertheless, back to the topic at hand. Our favorite piece of Nicki’s travel fashion girl look is the cover up.

Minaj’s chic printed beach cover is by J. Bailey. It’s long and flowing design just screams effortless glamour! Furthermore, it is perfect for when you still want to turn heads yet hide the goods. Way to work it Nicki you definitely killed this one!

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Arianne Suggs December 4, 2016December 4, 2016Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought about owning your own company one day? Thanks to technology and digital platforms more young women are becoming entrepreneurs than ever. Get the motivation you need to be a bonafide Boss Lady with Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO!

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Fashion brand Milano di Rouge is owned and operated by black business owner, Milan Rouge. Milan has always possessed a knack for being a motivator. Her strong spirit led her to start her own successful blog and pursue the creation of a fashion label.

Milan always promotes that anyone can make their dreams a reality. There are so many wise things she has said but we collected together a few that are encouraging and give an insider’s view on being a company owner. Milan has said,

“Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life you’re proud to live. So the question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

“It’s so much negativity in this world I just try my best to bring some positivity, motivation and inspiration to anyone I come in contact with. Notice I said try, I’m still human [and] I still have my bad days. I just want us to realize our power and own it. I try to encourage everyone that if they truly want something that it’s obtainable, if they work hard enough. And if they truly want to know something the answer isn’t as hard to find as they think.”

Owning a couture brand involves making sure everything is on point online, in store, on social media as well as on set. Nevertheless, Milan also discussed how she handles the image of her label,

“Being the model and designer is tough. I have to always get out of model mode (inside the camera) and go into Director mode (outside looking in) to make sure everything is good. Luckily for me [my team] makes it’s a little easier for me to do because I trust their vision, although I’m still a little anal [because] I like to see for myself. Hence my facial expression: I’m probably saying “make sure the logos are visible and the shirt is not creasing!”

Business Success Quotes

Business success quotes are an excellent way to stay on track towards your goals. Post them around your workspace in order to keep your motivation high. Be like Milan and always remember that nothing you want is unattainable. In closing here are a few more Rouge sayings to never forget!

“It’s okay to support other women. it won’t hurt you. It’s a sisterhood not a competition.”

“I just want to continue to grow, learn and make my dreams a reality. After the fun it’s back to work. Well, actually it doesn’t feel like work when it’s your passion.”

Arianne Suggs December 2, 2016December 2, 2016Leave a Comment

Amber Rose walks for a good cause, makes stylish sunnies and also collaborates with Flirt Cosmetics. One very busy lady! What is one of her newest beauty products that is a must-have? We recommend Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout.

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose

Want a pucker that will bring your crush to his knees? Prefer your lip color to be bold and vibrant? A huge fan of MUVA? If you answered yes to any of those questions then Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks is definitely for you.

According to Amber the gorgeous lip tints are a “weapon of mass seduction.” The first two shades are already out and available for purchases. Flirt will be rolling them out two at a time so soon there will be even more shades to love. So then, what are the first two stick colors? Amber has truly put her own touch on them. She revealed,

“Chicksticks from Flirt Cosmetics, featuring my two lip shades named after my pugs! Pauly is the cool, hot pink and Franky is the deep, vampy plum.”

Therefore, whether you are the girly-girl or video vixen, Pauly and Franky will give you one sexy pout. However, here is our one warning. BE FAST ABOUT PURCHASING. Flirt is a newer, smaller company who’s demand is really picking up! So when they sale out you will be waiting a bit for restocking.

For instance, once upon a time Flirt Cosmetics made an Eyelash staple gun. The gun really worked, turned gals into beauty queens and then it sold out quickly. The end. The gun will be back soon but moral of story is that great products like Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks will not last. So check it out along with other glam products by going here.

Harry said to all in attendance in behalf of the Queen, “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to the Government and the people of Barbados… Our countries have shared history, shared values and an affection which continues to bind us.”

Besides helping Barbados ring in their freedom, Harry also took part in more humantarian work. He visited sick children at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown. His visit was definitely welcomed and he even received a hug from one of the young patients.
