What to Wear to a Rap Concert???

Hey Fashion Lurkers,

There are many concerts coming up and I recently went to a Brandy concert last Friday where I was dressed in a bodycon dress and heels. Now, there is nothing wrong with this look however, I regret the choice of shoes. I wore a pair of heels that were open toed and of coarse it's hot so my feet were sweating and sliding.

So, I'm going to give you some tips for What to wear to a Rap Concert. These concerts usually have the most energy and sometimes no seating so, your feet must be comfortable but you must remain cute and fashionable.

Tips

1. Wear comfortable shoes like wegdes, sneakers, or a thick platform with a chucky heel. These types of shoes are more supportive then a stiletto and sturdy. There may be pushing in the crowd.
2. Wear a comfy outfit too... stick to a look that is easy to move in and/or breathable (fabric). It will be hot so dress like your going to the club to DANCE.
3. Wear a hairstyle that you dont mind sweating out. When all fails, wear a bun. 
4. Dont wear a big purse...try a small chain bag or no bag at all. You want to be as light as possible.
5. Lastly, have fun and enjoy the show!

Hey Fashion Lurkers,

So my girl Chrissy from the 1st & 2nd season of Love and Hip Hop New York was rocking these $700 Dita-Mach sunglasses on Instagram along side with her boo Jimmy. 

I caught wind of this from Fashion Bomb Daily and when I seen that price I "jumped" back from the computer. LOL Anyway, I was inspired to give you guys a trend update on sunglasses for 2013 (I would have done a "get the look" but no luck in finding a knockoff in these beauties...YET).

The overall trend for shades is the "Retro Trend" and is then broken down into different silhouettes and prints/colors.

5 Tips on How to Look Like a Socialite

Hey Fashion Lurkers,

Today I want to share with you ways to improve your look by dressing like you are a socialite.

What is a socialite?

•          A person who is well known in fashionable society and is fond of social activity.
•         Example: Angela Simmons

1) Hair Game Proper 

• Ladies, please make sure your hair is on point. Whether you are rocking a weave or natural, your hair should always look good. 
• Come up with a signature hair style like Amber Rose. Find a hair style that fits you best and run with it. 

2) Flawless Face 

• Your face should be flawless. Take care of your skin by drinking plenty of water and exfoliating 3 times a week. Go to your local drug store and buy the proper products for your face.
• If you have acne, please go to the dermatologist and get your face treated by professionals.
• You Tube is the tutorial Bible, so use it!
• Find a foundation that looks like you have nothing on your face. You don't want your make-up to look like a mask.
• And always remember to Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

3) Upgrade Your Wardrobe 

• Introduce more classic pieces to your wardrobe. 
• Make sure you have a balance of basic and statement pieces in your closet.
• Don't be afraid to splurge on quality accessories like handbags. Find a great everyday genuine leather bag.
• Become trendy and be a trend setter. Do your research on looks for the season and make them your own. 
• Remember- You don't have to break the bank to be stylish. Please stay in your budget.

4) Shoe Check 

• Shoes set the tone for your overall look. So make sure you have some basic black pumps and an array of trendy shoes as well.
• Popular Shoes 2013:
• Ankle strap heels 
• Pointy toe pumps
• Stilettos 
• Single-Sole pumps
• Wedge Sneakers 
• Spiked Shoes (flats/heels)
• Loafers & Smoking Slippers
• Basketball shoes 
• Splurge on a designer shoe. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on designer. Go to Nordstrom Rack and get designers like Jimmy Choo, Valentino, and Manolo Blahnik for a fraction of the cost.

5) Entourage & Become Social

• Lastly, get a group of your friends to join you in your journey of looking like a socialite. Make sure your friends are just as equally stylish but have their own look.
• Get involved with events in your city and take lots of pictures. 
• But overall, have fun & be yourself.
