Last night, Black entertainment’s most talented artists, concessioners, and industry leaders gathered to recognize the best in R&B and hip-hop. The Soul Train Awards is the biggest event in the two genres and features powerhouse performances, moving tributes, and appearances. Nights like this usually start with a star-studded red carpet where attendees show off their exquisite looks. This year, stars from the beloved Coco Jones to highly memed Queen Naija, took to the red carpet with dynamic style. Below are some of the most highlighted looks of the night.

Coco Jones swept the red carpet in an ultra fitted mermaid skirt and a keyhole strapless crop top. The opera gloves certainly bring the elegance of the look together but we’re wondering if a sheer glove might have been a better move? Regardless, Coco looks great from her radiant red lip to the bubble hem on her skirt.

Dress: Nordstrom // Shoes: Attico // Bag: L’alingi

Thank you to Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post


Peach and citron is a color combination that hasn’t necessarily been on my radar. When I first saw this dress I knew it would make a perfect complimentary contrast to these shoes to create quite the unexpected festive pairing. It goes without saying that Nordstrom is where I go to find so many of my classic everyday staples like a great pair of jeans, fall navy coat, or easy, everyday sweater. It also happens to be where I find so many of the more unique pieces in my closet. Case in point: todays’ dress and shoes. I am showcasing ten more unexpected festive finds from Nordstrom below. As always, shipping and returns are always free at Nordstrom, and it is so easy to earn points on every

online shoppingOn-line shopping is rising in popularity these days alongside with the seemingly countless improvements in know-how. Buyer expectations, though barely softened due to the pandemic, are still excessive, with customers being accustomed to the luxury of on-demand and convenience-based providers. They continue to expect quick delivery , ease of tracking, and a easy return policy, and businesses not investing in these areas of the client journey will get overtaken by these businesses placing the customer experience first.

Yahoo News Australia understands Aldi would think about providing an online expertise to prospects once it had a business mannequin that allowed the supermarket to deliver the service without compromising the value of merchandise.

On-line shopping is a new factor in Africa. Most Africans are usually not used to this type of purchasing, but as many companies transfer on-line, more Africans will have to begin purchasing online. In response to e-commerce analysts, buying …

october outerwear

Coats are – by far – my favorite clothing category! Since spending more time in Florida, I am really trying to reign it in and not buy so many warm, fuzzy pieces, but sometimes I simply can’t help myself.

J.Crew just dropped their November collection and it is full of so many bright, fun coats – and today there are quite a few at 40% off with code SHOPFALL. I just bought this maxi coat and wore it on a trip last weekend with sneakers, leggings, and an oversized sweater for an easy off duty look. I am currently eyeing this one but the price tag is $$$ so I will wait
