Preview Nicki Minaj’s KMart Collaboration

Reds
Still from KMart's preview after the jump KMart recently announced that Nicki Minaj would be designing a collection for women (Adam Levine would take care of the dudes) and the results of the collaboration are now available for preview in a behind-the-scenes video after the jump. In it she explains, "I definitely didn't want people to think, 'Oh, she's just going to have crazy stuff on her line, 'cause then that would push them away. I want them to know: No, no, no, I'm doing this for women in general to feel beautiful and sexy." Missed mark by several midriffs, Minaj. But to be fair, it probably wasn't her choice.

Target’s Big Announcement

Reds
FIRST LOOK: Target Collaborating With Phillip Lim For Fall! Target just announced their latest collaboration… with designer Phillip Lim! And while some of their more recent collabs have received a lukewarm response from customers and editors alike, Lim’s legitimacy within the fashion world has everyone riled up. As Racked pointed out this morning, the line ”revives collab excitement,” after a downward trend in the public’s interest in high-low collections. According Target’s blog, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target will include 100+ pieces ranging from bags to shoes to travel accessories and men’s and women’s apparel. The limited edition collection will hit Target stores and online September 15th, and is priced $19.99-$299.99 – “with most items under $49.99.” Oh happy day! For a sneak peek of the collection, watch Target’s teaser video here: [youtube http://youtu.be/G3Ln5Yom-xI] For more collaborations news, check out Matthew Williamson x Benefit, Nike x Liberty London (they’re customizable!), and Kirna…

Abercrombie & Fitch Should Be Ashamed

Reds
5 Reasons We Won’t Be Shopping At Abercrombie & Fitch Anytime Soon Abercrombie & Fitch and it’s outrageous CEO Mike Jeffries are no strangers to controversy. Shirtless salesmen aside, this is the company that openly owns up to the fact that they’ll only hire attractive people and that sells padded push-up bikinis for toddlers. Grossed out yet? Oh wait, it gets worse. I just finished reading this article over on Elite Daily and it turns out Mike Jeffries is even douchier than previously imagined (if that’s even possible). If you’ve ever shopped in an Abercrombie & Fitch store and wondered, “Hmm, why can’t I get this shirt in an XL?” there’s a reason. Jeffries doesn’t want fat people wearing Abercrombie & Fitch. No, really. We’re not just making this up. According to an interview Jeffries did with…

Thank God For Medicated Chapstick & Raye Raye!!!

Neutrals
Obviously from the title of this site LIPS, LIPSTICK & the like are quite important to me. lol! So as you could imagine I wasn't pleased when my lips turned on me! Idk what was going on with my lips the past few weeks but out of nowhere they were cracking and dry -which doesn't look good no matter how much lipstick you try to cover it with! I LOVE my lipsticks & my lips in general & even though I'm not currently smooching anyone on the regular I still want my lips to look & feel kissable! At my lowest point & when I was close to tears I remembered a video I watched a while ago from one of my favorite youtube beauty gurus It's My Raye Raye,…

Colorful Clutches for Spring

Reds
Spring is here! This new season calls for accessories that will add fun pops of color to your outfit. It’s time to celebrate bright citrus, vibrant greens, and pretty pastels. Pair these colorful clutches with jeans and a top for day or with a sexy bodycon for night. To really make the colors shine, keep your clothing neutral: think white and beige. Or go colorblocked by adding a few punched up hues to the mix! Have fun and don’t forget: balance is key! Here are some of my fav clutches in an array of prices. Take your pick : ) 1. BCBG Max Azria, $83 2. Alexander McQueen, $1,300 3. Juicy Couture, $99 4. Michael Michael Kors, $88 5. Serpui Marie, $187 6. Givenchy, $1,022 7. Stella McCartney, $665 8.
