I love when artists show us their raw talent and they are not hidden behind autotune or fancy costuming. I love it when there is some element of the artist’s personality, that they are being themselves and that they are not a total creation of a label.
This is why I love Janelle Monae, from her signature pompadour, her black and white tuxedos and her earthy jazz/pop/funk vocals, yeah…you could say I have a girl crush!

I wanted to recreate her signature look, with a little twist! Allyuh know that I am no hair expert, but I am stepping out of my malaise!
In honour of doing a look based on a musical artist, I am also going to use a few products created by Ardency Inn, a new brand, heavily influenced by music. Check out my writeup on their launch here.
Hey! So, I am OBSESSED with Scandal. I am OBSESSED with Scandal!!! I don’t think that there has been a TV show that literally affects me physically, emotionally. I live for this show. I plan my week around Scandal. And I love how they style OP! It’s amazing to see a strong, amazing, brilliant, successful woman who dresses so well! I want EVERYTHING in that closet! I am still crushing on a few of those dresses and that white coat she always wears. We can have both, intelligence and a great sense of style! Yes I am a gladiator! I’ve been a fan of Kerry Washington for a long time and I love that she’s getting what’s due to her. KW will always be Olivia Pope to me! Tony Goldwyn will always be the playa Prez Fitzgerald Grant III! And for the record, I ship Olitz all day long! Olitz for life! So I pretty much died last week when Entertainment Weekly hit the newstands! LOVED it! Loved it! I had to recreate the look on Kerry Washington.
But before that……
If you haven’t seen Episode 218, you might want to skip to the next section…
***SPOILER ALERT***
So uhm…how insane is this Jake/Olivia/Fitz storyline! What’s Jake’s real situation? Who’s the mole? Who’s the random black dude? And I’m going to need Shonda and dem to stop messing with Huck!! I’m over seeing him being so tortured! 🙁 And these 3 week hiatuses? I see you ABC….I see you…I don’t know how I’m going to survive the next episodes. I am still exhausted from Episode 218. I usually am physically and emotionally drained after each episodes and my poor TV is tired of being screamed at. I hear they are going to be gut –wrenching! Lawd….I can’t wait to see Episode 220, the episode directed by Tony Goldwyn (YUM!)
Hot right??!! I loved this super sultry bronzed smoky eye look. And the full-on lashes made the look for me. Perfected skin, nude shimmery lips, corally cheeks. I did something that I don’t usually do, I added lower false lashes.
