LolaNewYork x SlutMouthMagazine

If you've been missing me on social media lately, don't worry, I'm still alive. This year has been such a roller coaster, but dare I say, its actually ending on a high note. These last few months have been very inspiring and motivational, I've had this little pep in my step lately, and its got me charging head first into so many great ideas and opportunities. Now,  I've been practicing the art of not announcing things before they're finished, so I'll save all that for later. 

Thank U, NEXT! (gif recap)

Ok ok, lets get to it. First, Ariana has slowly grown on me since "Tattooed Heart", and she definitely hooked me with "Sweetener". I knew "Thank U, Next" would be a hit the minute I heard it, but I completely LOST MY SHIT when she started posting visuals for the music video. By now everyone has seen it (60m and counting last I checked), but I wouldn't be me and this wouldn't be Lola New York if I didn't post it. No need to breakdown references, we're well versed in late 90's early 2000's femme pop culture over here and fluent in chick flick quotes. So, I'll be me and just put my two cents in (gifs included, of course).

#SheRaps!: Leikeli47 - Girl Blunt (Official Video)

We all heard it first on the latest season of "Insecure", and its been on repeat ever since. I am personally super stoked for whats to come from Leikeli47. I never like to compare, but she fills the void Missy Elliot left in my soul way back when, then she had the nerve to bring the Brooklyn swag to it.  She surely be on my next mix, stay tuned...

A Black Owned Wishlist #BLKOWND

(Click store name for website)

Like most girls, I love cute things and I love to shop. Unfortunately, i love food more. My credit card numbers never make it to the shopping cart checkout because I have a new addiction, and it's called Uber Eats! Sh-sh-shut your mouth, you're not allowed to judge me. They add like 5 new restaurants every week. What is self-control even?

LOOKZ!: The Concrete Runway

In honor of Fashion Week I wanted to pay a subtle homage to my 2 favorite designers, Betsey Johnson & Jeremy Scott with these LOOKZ! 

Trading in the backdrops and glittery runways for street lights and concrete pavement. For a girl like me every week is NYFW.

Whip them inches and get your life to this all female mix.

The Best of NYFW '17: Jeremy Scott

Jeremy Scott never disappoints, honestly. This year he continued to prove why he is one of my ALL TIME favorite designers. Like myself, Jeremy Scott is never afraid to take risks. He has a way of combining colors, prints, fabrics and styles that shouldn't go together and making them work. This 2017 Fall collection has it all, and I love it. Here are 15 of my fave head-to-toe looks from the NYFW runway.

7 Worthy Beyonce Performances No One Ever Talks About!

Christmas came early (or late) for the BeyHive last week when our Queen Bey announced that she was expecting TWINS! Anytime Beyonce things are happening, I cant help but go on a Youtube marathon of all things Bey. Interviews, music videos, shady moments, Illuminati conspiracies (yes you read right), and her greatest gift...live performances. After that breathtaking Grammys performance and in anticipation for her upcoming Coachella headlining performances, here are (in no particular order) "7 Worthy Beyonce Performances No One Ever Talks About!'

LOOKZ!: The 90's Called...

Hair on Dashiki ("that's Swahili for Doggystyle"). Fit on Ashley Banks (Fresh Princess of Bel-Air). Converse on, well, me. Cuz you know, they're my thing.

This week I thought I'd give a lil' 90s tease with these LOOKZ!

Film Fridays: New York Nostalgia!

Click movie titles to watch the trailer.

  

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a pretty big movie buff. Impatiently waiting for someone to create some sort of sub culture based on film and pop culture, kinda like Drag, but not. With all the random movie quoting I do, do to my extensive film knowledge, I thought i'd start recommending some of my faves.

This week for #FlashbackFriday, I'd like to recommend some underrated throwback randoms. The theme this week, New York Nostalgia!

These featured films were all released between 1990-2000, not too ancient not too recent, and all take place in NYC, so its sure to give you some flashbacks. You'll find that a lot of my movie picks take place in New York, because well, I mean do you really need me to explain?
