    Has anyone mastered the mixed prints trend this season? Whether you have or not, love it or hate...its an extremely hard trend to get right. If you need help definitely check out my article THE ART OF MIXING PRINTS on www.etcblogmag.com! But for a mini lesson let's check out Solange who is the Queen of Mixing Prints! She recently was spotted in NYC at the Alexander Wang after party rocking this look- embellished palazzo pants, a printed top, denim jacket, a bright messenger bag, and a Babatunde hat. The hat is from an African designer...Solange recently shot a video there and must have come across the designer.
    I haven't found their official website but here's their facebook in case you're interested in their hats. When looking at Solange's outfit there is really no method to her madness...and that's what I love about her. But to master this trend keep this in mind...for the look for less I first started with this navy printed palazzo pants, added a stripped shirt that has both navy and white which I pulled from the pants. That is the key to mixing prints...you can mix any print you want but make sure the colors are similar. I then pulled the pink print from the pants to find this amazing bright messenger bag. Finally, I added a brown hat, brown & navy wedges, and simple jewelry. So we are definitely mixing prints but for some reason it just flows. What do you think of mixing prints? Did we nail it?

04/20/2012 No Surprise here. Solange looking gorg at the Tribeca Ball in NYC. Her hair/wig is beautiful, she expertly mixed the patterns on her top and pants and those Loubs. to create the beautiful look above. My only two critiques are the coral eye makeup and lip were too much since there was so much coral in her outfit. I would've also loved to to see a shorter pant so that we could get a better look at those shoes! Head inside for more pics... more

Solange Knowles Gearing Up For New Album:

Solange Knowles Gearing Up For New Album: “There’s A Lot of Songs About Sex.”

01/17/2012  |  No Comments

01/17/2012 Solange Knowles is finally gearing up for the release of her new album. I am so excited because her 2008 release "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" was pretty dope!! She tells V Magazine for her upcoming project that it's “more of a modern twist on hip-hop and R&B flecked with tinges of blues and jazz ” but content wise, she says “there’s a lot of songs about sex.” Check out a few more details about her album below:

    “It’s the kind of record you put on when your man is coming over, when you’re with your girls,” Solange tells V Magazine for their V75 music issue. “There are songs that make you wanna dance because we were kind of partying our way through the record, but it’s very chill.”
Solange, who funded and managed the project herself, worked with some top producers including Pharrell Williams, Vincent Vendetta of the Midnight Juggernauts, Ariel Reichstadt and Houston native Devonté “Dev” Hynes.
    “My references for the record were all Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, not just their typical Janet [Jackson] and Prince stuff, but SOS Band and their b-sides with Chaka Khan,” Solange says about the inspiration for the new project. “At first the songs were really dark because I had a premonition before the record that I was going to die. I was having panic attacks and wiling out.”
