Michelle Obama’s #SOTU Michael Kors Grey Tweed Origami Skirt Suit
FLOTUS Michelle Obama knows the power of grey. No, seriously she does. First, as you might recall, she donned shimmering grey lavender nails (the color in question was Artistic Nail Design Soak Off Colour Gloss in Vogue) at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. And now, the mom-in-chief turned to the chic shade again for the 2015 State of the Union. This time, she dazzled in a Michael Kors Grey Tweed Origami Jacket with Foldover Collar ($797; back in stock) with the matching Tweed Skirt ($597 the zip-slit rested at the rear). Both pieces are on sale now at Neiman Marcus. Sign up for eBates before you go shopping to receive cash back! Could you imagine if…

Shopping #Empire: Anika’s Burgundy Halter Gown
Anika’s burgundy halter gown is all the rage in these e-streets. Let me start off by saying that I am mostly #teamcookie as I’m sure most of you are. I know we as viewers are supposed to “hate” head of A&R and Lucious’ girlfriend Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey). But Boo Boo Kitty shut it down in that brilliant burgundy halter gown with crisscross front panels. My research revealed that some fans of the show wanted her dress. In response, I decided to answer the question and provide an alternative!

Shopping #Empire: Cookie Lyon’s French Connection Viven Dress
Shopping Cookie Lyon I am beyond enthused right now! I needed to unwind during this unbelievably busy week so I figured I’d finally do an Empire post. Like so many of you, I envy Cookie Lyon’s (played wonderfully by Taraji P. Henson) closet. We’re two episodes into the inaugural season and people are constantly talking Cookie’s style. Already, she’s had about nine iconic looks which consist of animal print, fur, and statement accessories. Costume designer Rita McGhee along with Monique Mosley, Timbaland’s wife, infused Cookie’s wardrobe with all types of glamorous, glitzy gems. Let’s get the look together! The official Empire Facebook page shares select outfits/pieces from Cookie’s Closet each week. Recently,…

Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1
Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious. She satisfies my desires for all things dark and dangerous. And of course, as I am in love with her wardrobe! According to costume designer Lisa Padovani, Jada’s leather and metallic dress as “80’s Versace/Mugler inspired.” Three parts Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Griselda Blanco and Norma Desmond, I love that Jada is on this show. I love that she…

Shopping #Gotham: Fish Mooney’s Gold Fringe Ear Cuff
In “Selina Kyle”, Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) wore two of my favorite things: a gold fringe ear cuff and a sizzling halter gown. Her exact jungle-inspired ear ornament is the Maria Francesca Pepe Gold Fringe Single Ear Cuff. The cutout teal halter with twisting gold hardware she wore on Gotham is something I’d definitely wear. Ear cuffs have been on my radar since 2012, but Maria Francesca’s version outshines all others. Even Chio’s Delfine Chain Fringe Ear Cuff excites me! It’s available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $295.
