Beyonce makes a dazzling return to the stage at Revel

In her first concert performance after giving birth to Blue Ivy, Beyonce commanded the stage only as " Sasha Fierce" can. The sold out Memorial Day Weekend performances were held at the Revel Resort and Casino in Atlantic City.




Beyonce admitted to having nervous performance jitters prior to hitting the stage, however rave reviews about the show continue to buzz. She worked hard to return her post baby body to its previous state in 5 short months since giving birth. I must say Bey looks amazing!

The Costumes

Beyonce's stage costumes were exclusivley designed by Ralph and Russo. The couture pieces were embellished with 500,000 Swarovski crystal elements by 20 couteriers and took an astounding 4 weeks to make.  “Beyoncé wanted us to be really creative and create fun and edgy designs that had an ultra-glamorous feel to them”- Tamara Ralph designer Ralph and Russo

Trending: Floral Denim

In addition to the bright jean trend is the feminine yet sexy floral printed denim/bottoms trend. From soft hues on a white background to traditional denim washes for major contrast and impact; floral jeans make a chic statement. Combined with a solid bright top or crisp white, these jeans are fresh summer look. Several premium denim designers offer their take in skinny, cropped and also shorts. How would you rock them?

"Eventually I faced the inevitable, this was the body and the booty I was given, and I might as well start loving them." -Tracee, from her contribution to the book "Naked: Black Women Bare All About Their Skin, Hair, Hips, Lips, and Other Parts"


" Now you can't just text me and invite me on a date. You need to pick up the phone and call me. That's not being a diva. That's having self-esteem." -Tracee, Vibe Vixen 2006


“I have loved magazines since I was a child … And let me explain something, I do not read magazines, I look at the pictures … When I was in high school I would make wish boards. They were feelings and images, not words. It was all fashion.”




“I was shy, but it came out in a big personality. My turning point was when I let my hair go naturally and I got contact lenses. I am really blind, by the way. I have these big eyes that don’t work!”

Celebrity Chic: Solange Knowles on Mother's Day

Solange Knowles was spotted out an about delivering gifts, and taking a bike ride with her son as she celebrated Mother's Day. Seemingly effortless and simple, but major chic is Solange in a yellow top and cute bow accented shorts. I would rock this look in a heartbeat!

Solange can often be seen in yellow, most recently at the Met Gala. Here she accents it with a red bag and studded Azzedine "Alaia" Suede Flat sandals.
