HATE IT or LOVE IT: Rihanna’s CFDA Fashion Awards Outfit

    Rihanna always demand attention without saying a word. The guest of honor arrived at the 2014 CFDAs (Tuesday, June 2) to accept her Fashion Icon Award in a nipple revealing, rhinestone-encrusted gown, replete with matching over-the-elbow gloves and glamorous head wrap.
    The beautiful gown was designed by Adam Selman, a custom piece created for the Bajan Queen. Rih Rih loves to show off her boobies. Although it sounds shocking the outfit doesn't look trashy. I think she looks gorgeous. But please folks don't let Rih Rih hype you up to be about that nip exposure life. That trend isn't for every set of boobies. Thoughts on Rihanna's fit?

CANDI COVERAGE: The Launch Party For

CANDI COVERAGE: The Launch Party For “The Girls of Blaze” Disc Collection By Puma x Solange Major Success In ATL

    Last night I attended the official launch party at Epitome, for The Girls Of Blaze Disc Collection. The collection is under the sneaker brand PUMA with Solange as the Artistic Director.
    I've always been a fan of the PUMA brand and was excited to hear that Solange had joined the PUMA team. We all know that the kid sister of Beyonce' is super stylish and a creative monster. I've always felt PUMA was for the sneaker heads that like to take risk (non-hypebeast) and embrace the different.
    The Girls Of Blaze Disc Collection include 4 designs: Rainforest, Burlap Rainbow, Tire and Dolphins.
    Solange brought on 4 dope designers to bring heat to the PUMA brand for the ladies. Gerlan MarceL (not pictured), Hisham Akira Bharoocha and sisters Darlene and Lizzy Okpo. The laceless kick is a statement kick, from the design to the colors.
    The event it self was POPPING!!! A nice location with a diverse group of Atl finest in the building. Epitome carries exculsive pieces more like a lifestyle boutique. Great music, tasty drinks, and dope giveaways. I would definitely call this a successful launch event. Shout out to Karla and Scott from PUMA. They Rock!! Head inside to see a few more pictures.

    Tom Ford debuted his Fall 2014 collection in London this week. Ford sent two identical dresses down the runway (in black and orange), both of which were emblazoned with the shorthand version of everyone's favorite lyric from Jay Z's "Tom Ford" and the year the designer was born (1961). Ford called his design, "a knockoff of the knockoff" being that Jay-Z has been rocking a Tom Ford Tee on his Magna Carta World Tour, which clearly isn't a Tom Ford design. lol!! Would you rock?

    Check Miley Cyrus out!! Little Miss Twerk-a-lot is the new face of Marc Jacobs’ Spring Collection. That's a good look!! The new campaign comes on the heels of Jacobs putting Cyrus on message tees for skin cancer awareness and gay marriage. In turn, Miley wore a fish net dress by the designer to the 2013 Met Gala and another sea-foam sequins dress that landed her on TIME’s best dressed list.
