Take Your Natural Hair up a Notch – Lupita Nyong’o’s Golden Globes 2014 Look by Celebrity Hairstylist Larry Sims!
Larry started Lupita’s glam look by liberally applying Smooth ‘N Shine Go Pro Curls Curl-Licious Mist to refresh and reactivate her natural curls.
Next, Larry used a rat tail comb to insert a dramatic deep side part on the right side of her head. He then took the part back to the crown of Lupita’s head and combed her hair to each side.
After the dramatic part was put in place, Larry then used Smooth ‘N Shine Go Pro Curls Butter Bouncin’ to hydrate Lupita’s hair to give it an easy moldable texture.
For a finishing touch, Larry used got2b 2sexy voluptuous volume hairspray to keep her tresses in place through a long night of Golden Globe after parties.
GET THE LOOK
Lupita Nyong’o stole the hearts of viewers watching The Golden Globes 2014. She was seen wearing a stunning red dress designed by Ralph Lauren.
This look was very “pulled together” because the red dress contrasted with her delicate earrings and makeup accentuated her features.
Not only was she poised with beautiful skin but she’s also a graduate of Yale University. Talk about being a triple fashion threat!
I want to feature the last collage of our favorite celebrity closets. I hope that the post series from this week has inspired everyone to get organized, be more efficient, and look you fashionable best in the new year.

Mariah Carey has one of the most GORGEOUS closets with her shoes, handbags, and dresses organized in a beautiful formation.
From her pink pumps, marble flooring, and crystal chandelier lighting this closet is a “glamorous dream.”
Mariah gave us a glimpse into her fashionable world when she shared photos of her wardrobe. I think every woman aspires to have a beautifully, well organized closet simply because it allows us to find our items, mix and match, and care for our precious clothing.
This closet is amazing and the photos (in this post) prove: all that glitters is gold!

While catching up on one of my favorite fashion blogs The Coveteur I ran across style icon Rachel Zoe’s personal closet.
If you’re fashion obsessed such as myself, you generally love anything that’s associated with the “Zoe” brand.
Rachel Zoe is not only witty but she’s super talented and surrounds herself with a dedicated team. I think there’s something to be learned (from her) by anyone who’s aspiring to work in the fashion industry.
Because we are bringing in a New Year with fresh goals and aspirations, this is the perfect time to organize our closets. Come on ladies, it’s time to let go of that old sweater and suede boots from three years ago!
In honor of fashion girls who are bringing in the new year with style, I want to feature a few of our favorite celebrity closets. Hopefully the photos will inspire us all to get “get rid of old clutter!”

The holidays – like Thanksgiving – are a stressful time for ladies who will be meeting their man’s parents for the first time. You must find the perfect look to impress his mom and sisters — one that’s fashionable, chic and classy.
STEP 1: DO YOUR RESEARCH
No one will be a better judge of the in-law’s judgment than your significant other. Ask him what his moms and sister’s fashion sense is. Check out Facebook photos from past holidays. If they look like East Coast Blue Bloods, dress conservative. If they’re total ex-Berkeley activists, try hippie chic and go vintage.
STEP 2: PACK FOR EVERY OCCASION
Bring one flowery dinner outfit, one semi-sexy outfit for a night on the town with your guy, and one laid back combo for that Sunday morning stroll with his mom. Tiny skirts are best left at home – because you don’t want them to think you’re Miley’s doppelganger – and don’t channel Lady Gaga with uncomfortable fashion ensembles that will just make Granny give you side eye.
STEP 3: BRING THE WHOLE KIT & KABOODLE
Pack tons of great accessories, especially a statement necklace to glam up any normal outfit. Stella & Dot pieces, for example, can enrich any holiday outfit.
STEP 4: CHECK IN WITH YOUR FRIENDS
We know you can’t bring your fashionable friends that weekend to help you find your perfect outfit. But you can send them your fashion selfies and ask them for advice. Postelio is the perfect app to quickly and discreetly ask your friends for fashion advice.

The 41st Annual American Music Awards aired yesterday and Christina Aguilera stole the show the moment she stepped out on the red carpet, and again shortly after she took the stage for her moving performance. From head to toe, Christina was the epitome of timeless beauty on the red carpet in a Maria Lucia Hohan crisp white satin gown with a side slit and diamond-shaped side cut-outs at the waist, Christian Louboutin shoes, a Jimmy Choo bag, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and flawless makeup. Christina’s look was highlighted by smooth, voluminous curls courtesy of celebrity stylist, David Babaii.
Come her emotionally charged performance, Say Something, with A Great Big World, David styled the songstress’ hair perfectly, with an on-trend bun and braided headband. To achieve her look, David explained you need to start with damp hair and blow it out straight with a sleek center part. Then, he took a significant amount of hair at the nape of the neck and braided it tightly, bringing it up and over the head. He secured it with bobby pins and took the rest of Christina’s hair and put it in a low bun, spritzing it with a styling spray to ensure everything stayed in place during her performance.
For fans of The Voice, this style may look familiar. Well known for her platinum locks and refined style, Christina recently took to her red chair rocking a similar ‘do.
When asked what he suggests for those trying to achieve Christina’s look at home, David mentioned “I recommend Christina and whoever else wants luscious thick hair start taking Viviscal because it makes a big difference and helps achieve luscious, thick, beautiful hair.” While he also said Christina’s tresses are gorgeous, not all of us are blessed with that naturally. Viviscal is perfect for anyone who is looking to get thicker, fuller, healthier hair. David takes Viviscal himself and mentioned he strongly believes “good hair comes from within.”

To my suprise and excitement, Style Life Fashion was asked to interview Keyshia Cole on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Keyshia was visiting the Baltimore area (Towson Town Center) to promote her new shoe collection with Steve Madden.
Of course, I was very excited to interview Keyshia Cole because I do like her music (we all have our favorite song) and personal style. But, I could also relate to her in terms of fashion, music, and relationships.
I truly enjoyed interviewing Keyshia Cole because she is very down to earth and passionate about her upcoming projects. From our conversation, she is trying to expand her brand beyond music and aspires to have a lipgloss collaboration (Hello MAC, you have Rihanna…why not Keyshia.)
Aside from the interview, her new shoe collection is hot. I wanted to see the shoes for myself because in addition to being a fan of Keyshia Cole, I also like Steve Madden pumps and boots.
From color assorted pumps to lace up pointed stilletos, the Keyshia Cole collection will definitely be the shoe that every girl will want. Most importantly, the shoes are affordable and I am secretly plotting when I will purchase a pair of shoes (the DIVA in black) from the collection.
Lastly, fans in the Baltimore area did a fantastic job of welcoming Keyshia Cole to the area and truly showed support for the artist. The event ended with Keyshia connecting with her fans while singing songs, playing games, and promoting her Steve Madden collection.
