Rashidah Ali's Shoe Line Encore: Fyre or Failed?

Hey Fashion Lurkers,

I want to talk to you guys about Rashidah's shoe line, Encore. The Rashidah I'm referring to is the raspy voice red head who is from Love & Hip Hop New York season 3. She is best friends with Joe Budden's lost love, Tahiry.

Now, Rashidah has been labeled as a woman with a fraudulent past and I see why. Ok, my lurkers I'm not trying to throw shade on Ms. Ali BUT, home girl shoe line is pulling a Go Jane. She has knocked off every high end designer with her shoe silhouette choices and has the nerve to charge $200 plus. NO Ma'am! Not for a knock off. Her shoe line is nice but it's not original, and that's that shit I don't like. Give me something new to look at... Giuseppe already produced half of her line seasons ago. So, why would the consumer pay $200 for a knock off shoe that they can get from Go Jane.com for $24?  However, Rashidah will trick the ones who don't know any better. But this red headed schemer won't get me.

Sorry, Rashidah but you know the consequences of plagiarism... ZERO!  So for that, You Failed.

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!
