The Leather Look

Leather jackets, leather skirts, leather boots and yes even leather trousers (or leggings) - seem to be making waves again in the world of fashion. It seems as though the rock chick look is the new look with many celebs rocking leather. I’ll rock the jackets, boots, skirt but I’m not too sure about leather trousers/leggings though…getting into them might prove a little bit tricky!







Gordon Bennett! How long do you think it took Fergie to get into these (pic below)…I’m guessing 5-10 mins?!




P.S. I hope you all enjoyed your christmas;-)

She’s got moves too!

I literally just finished watching this performance by Alicia Keys and thought I’d write a blog about her since she is one of my favourite artists. Not only is she a great singer, songwriter and pianist (and she's gorgeous!) but she also knows how to pull a good performance out the bag. Since Alicia Keys isn’t known for her dance abilities, it was nice to see her doing a little two step here and there in this performance of her song I Need You, on Dancing with the Stars (great show by the way!):



I hope to hear new material from Alicia Keys in 2009, preferably a release of a new album that will make a bigger impact because though I did like a majority of the songs on her third album As I Am, it wasn’t a classic- definitely not a memorable album. So fingers crossed Alicia will bring it next year and remind me of what made me first fall in love with her (music that is).

Here is another great performance by Alicia, below.

High-waisted = highly rated!

Ciara is making me want to go purchase some high-waisted trousers- the girl is rocking it hard! A nice blouse or vest top (with a belt and some heels) completes this sophisticated look- it’s a good look.

Right now I'm listening to...

A song from Solange’s (aka Beyonce’s younger sister) first album Solo Star. I'm really feeling this song; Solange’s songs have a marmite affect- you either love it or hate it. Vocally however, she’s not as good as her big sis, but she can write. I do like her creativity but sometimes I get the impression she is trying a tad bit too hard to be different in an attempt to halt comparisons with Beyonce. Anyways this song is alright still…

The last thing I watched on YouTube…

After being left in hysterics watching Chris Rock’s Kill the Messenger comedy show, I then watched some clips of his Bigger and Blacker show (personally think it’s funnier) and this just had me in tears…he was saying that women love to talk too much and always complain that the man doesn’t talk enough. As much as I found it funny…it’s kinda true! Anyways, you must watch the clip below, it’s too much jokes!




By the way, am I the only person who doesn’t find Dave Chappelle funny?!?!?! We were watching a few of his comedy shows in my house…I was like the only person who wasn’t laughing, (which is weird because it doesn’t take much to make me laugh!). Anyways, I think he’s dry toast and I’m glad Elijah agrees with me! ;-) What do you lot think, Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle?
