Music Video Fab-- Shi Wisdom "Lovespeak"

Ever since this video dropped a week ago, Shi Wisdom's "Lovespeak" has been on heavy rotation on my ipod. The song and video just has an all around good vibe to it and it's the perfect track to bump in your car on a lazy sunday, like today. Shi's melodic voice has a soothing tone to it riding the airwaves at just the right speed. Believe me this won't be the last you hear from Miss. Wisdom she's destined to go far! Make sure you support T.O talent and enjoy the vid!

Music Fab -- Oh Land "Wolf & I"

While I was watching my absolute favourite show, Gossip Girl of course I came across this dope track by Oh Land called Wolf & I. Right when Prince Louis proposes to Blair the track cuts in at the perfect time. There was just something about the melody and the way that she sang that really spoke to me. Her voice was sooo soothing that the song has been on repeat since last night, I don't know what rock I've been hiding under but she is super dope. Check the track below!

The Royal Wedding -- Princess Kate Marries in McQueen!

So while we all slept well at least I was sleeping, the Royal wedding took place and Prince William and Princess Kate tied the knot! Everything went down without a hitch and Kate looked stunning in an exquisite custom Alexander McQueen gown designed by creative director Sarah Burton. She looked simple yet breathtakingly beautiful proving less is more and I loved it. Seems as though everyone brought their A-game to the wedding rocking some fabulous hats! Check pics of all the fun looks below!

Kate Moss for Vogue Paris' May Issue!

Moss comes with the fierceness for Vogue Paris' May issue, the contrast between the black and white images against the colourful vibrant images is a visual feast! Kind of reminds me of the weather today, it was super rainy earlier but now it's sunny and warm! Once again Kate shows the newbies how to model from head to toe, she looks stunning! I am absolutely in love with that lime green blazer with the detailing on the shoulder, super cute! Check the rest of the spread below!

Its Bey Season-- "Girls (Who Run the World)"!

I'm a Beyonce fan but the last few months she has been out of the limelight and her fits have been sub-par, this is the best I've seen her in months! I definitely LOVE the floral dress plus her hair and skin are on point!! I won't lie I'm not really a fan of all the different patterns she's trying to throw together with the snakeskin bag and shoes. Jay on the other hand keeps it calm and cool in his denim jacket and army green cargo's, cute! Bey and her hubby Jay were spotted at the Champs- Elysees in Paris.

I'm really feeling the musical direction Jay is taking, being Beyonce's new manager. They decided to spice up Bey's sound with some island flavour. They sampled Major Lazer on the beat and the song is F-I-R-E! Definitely a summer banger, with the infectious beat and girl power lyrics how can it not be? Take a listen below!

Lady Gaga's Using Blood and Semen in New Fragrance

Lady Gaga has done it again, and I can't say I'm surprised either. She has decided to create a perfume with blood and semen samples in it *blank stare*. I don't know about you but I am not down for having anyones blood on my skin and smelling like after sex. Gaga describes her scent as smelling like an "expensive hooker", knowing Gaga and her little "monsters" this scent will do amazing in the sales department, even though I probably won't wear it I'm sort of curious to see how it will smell. Anyways to each its own, its not for me but others may like it, do you guys think this is a great creative idea or is Gaga trying to hard, let us know!! Below is Gaga explaining the scent on an Australian radio show.

Loving all the warm colourful hues for Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W '11 collection Marc took inspirations from the seventies and paired cute platforms with socks which seems to be uber popular on the runways, especially for the last few seasons. Loving the combination of fun animal prints and velvet, colours are so rich and pop so well, its a solid collection for Marc once again, Kudos!

Mango Spring 2011

Here is a look at Mango's ad campaign for Spring 2011, staring Scarlett Johansson. Johansson has been the face of the Spanish clothing company for awhile now and now the blonde starlet is getting us all ready for the spring.

Sporting a fun and young new bob hairstyle, Scarlett looks really laid back and relaxed in the campaign. It was shot in Barcelona by Mario Sorrenti and features some of the fab pieces from the spring collection. From the looks of it, the spring collection looks like casual luxury at its finest. Mango and Scarlett seem to be a perfect fit, she looks amazing in the ads and the clothes look stunning. Johansson feels the same about the collaboration saying, "It has been great working with Mango. I think between Mario, the makeup and hairdressing teams and the stylist, we have created something special."

I am loving the laid back stripped sweaters, gives it a real nautical feel, very summer-ish. Can't wait to see more.

Diary of a Fab Stylist -- I Heart BodyArt x Boards x Boys!

Anyone who knows me knows I love me some body art its something about the way the ink looks on skin that just does something to me. If I could I would COVER myself in tattoo's and I know you're thinking I'm crazy but believe me it would be tasteful art. Tattoo's to me are a lifelong commitment even though you can get them "removed" there will always be some remnants of what your tatt used to be, why go through the pain if you're just going to regret it later? I say as long as it means something to you and you're not just doing it to fit in or to lock down your mate then you've gained my support.

On the brighter side of things I'm addicted to the whole tattoo experience the rush, the way it feels, it all has a therapeutic quality..its funny coming from me because I'm terrified of needles however tattoos I can handle. I still wince in pain and make ugly faces when the needle is hitting a tender spot but for the most part I'm soldier it out.


I love an attractive man with some tattoos they make my knees buckle and my heart rate speeds up lol and my throat gets dry, I mean this usually happens when I meet cute boys because I'm boy crazy but when a sexy skater boy with some fly tatts approaches me I turn to jelly *sigh, mind drifts off too Wiz Khalifa*. Its something I can't explain and many think Iim crazy but tatts x Chey = BIG turn on. Check out some pics of some fly tattoos that make me smile and inspire me to add to my collection of mobile art lol.
