Last night, Selita Ebanks made an appearance on the season premiere of The Game on BET. The supermodel is known for switching up her looks. Whether short, blonde or ‘Rihanna Red’, Ms. Ebanks also looks fab!
Her most recent choice in hair and makeup is my favorite look so far. The green and gold shadow with bold, glamorous lashes are the perfect formula to heat things up on a winter night on the town.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK
1. Try NYX eyeshadow in Exotic Green for a deep, smoky effect

This is by far one of my all-time favorite reviews. Any time I don’t have to leave Brooklyn for a quality dining experience — one that doesn’t include questionable seating and plastic utensils — is an experience I thoroughly enjoy.
Los Mariachis, a restaurant that serves authentic Mexican cuisine, offers just that kind of exceptional experience. I was blown away by multicolored décor that had me feeling like I was vacationing in beautiful Puebla. Vibrant and exquisitely detailed, the chairs and tables were handmade (and shipped from Mexico). The restaurant’s gem is its mosaic tile artwork, featured prominently in the dining area.
With an extensive 5-page menu, there’s something for everyone, from the vegetarian friend to the picky child. Everything is categorized by the fillings–fresh produce, pork, chicken, beef, lamb, goat, seafood—and the options are quite limitless, from tacos, burritos and stuffed peppers to stews, sandwiches, pizzas, and grilled platters.
This time of year I would typically post some fun yet practical snow boots and other winter accessories. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this fabulous Wendy Nichols fur cuff at Barneys and discovered a more playful side to accessorizing for the cold days ahead.
While a peep-toe fox fur bootie and rabbit fur clutch won’t protect you from frostbite, it will warm your heart to step out in the most stylish, fashion-forward accessories this season.
There’s no doubt that we’ve all been suffering from the sudden arrival of Old Man Winter! While we’re bundling up to stay warm, it’s hard to protect those lips from the harsh effects of cold weather.
Here are 3 quick tips to prevent and treat dry, chapped lips:
1. NO LICKING — Avoid the urge to lick your lips when dry. Saliva will only dry out your lips even more and cause build up residue.
2. PUT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH TO USE — Before you brush your teeth, use your dry toothbrush to gently brush your lips.

I am Jamaican and, like our British colonizers, I drink tea…lots of it. So it’s only right that my most coveted home collection is the Versace Butterfly Garden teacup. While I’m waiting patiently to inherit this china pattern from my mother, I’ve found more stylish home decor from some of our favorite designers. My mantra — fashion should not be limited to what’s inside your closet.

All eyes were on Jennifer Lopez as she backed it up on rapper Pitbull at last night’s American Music Awards. Some folks have said that her performance was way too provocative and that her outfit was just a ‘knock off’ of Britney Spears glitter suit in the Toxic video.
Here’s what I say — it’s only right that her post-breakup performance was raunchy and painful for soon-to-be-ex hubby Mark Anthony (who hit the stage minute later with Pitbull). Plus, she looks damn good for a 42 year old with 3 year old twins.
Moving right along…what happens when Rihanna and Beyonce are a no show at the 2011 AMAs? Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj become the most fashionable on the red carpet!!

Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antique Gold
Whether it sparkles, crackles or shines, this season’s nail trends will definitely add some flair to your typical manicure. We’re over the bright pinks, oranges and yellows from spring/summer, but that doesn’t mean we have to resort to boring, drab colors.
Textured, special effects nails are a hot trend this season! Three of my favorite textured nail polishes are Nails Inc. London Magnetic Polish, Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat and Deborah Lippman Risque Red Sequin.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antique Gold ($6) - create a crackle effect when you apply two coats of your favorite nail color. Once dried, add a thin or thick coat (depending on desired effect) of any Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat shade.
