Happy Birthday Diana!

Category: Naturally Gigi Beatz, Sellebrity Style Stalks, Stalk it Comments: One comment

KNOCKERS! Sunday, March 26, 2017 Original Diva Diana Ross, celebrated her 73^rd birthday! Let’s commemorate her special day with a fashion retrospect of Mahogany, a Berry Gordy film released in 1975, starring Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. Mahogany is a cult classic rags to riches campy 70’s fairy tale of a young small town aspiring fashion designer to World’s Top Model, and all the spectacular fashion in between. Mahogany also spawned the hit song “Do You Know Where You Going To” and countless Diana Ross style imitators.

Ms. Ross achieved success throughout her career, but did you know that her original aspiration was to be a fashion designer and studied fashion design, pattern making and cosmetology at Detroit’s Cass Technical High School?

2017 Top Fashion Week Trend: Metallic Silver!

Category: Stalk it Comments: 3 comments

KNOCKERS! Karl Lagerfeld’s Fall 2017 Chanel Show in Paris beautifully illustrated one of the best use of metallic silver in a collection during this year’s Fashion Month. PLUS, Lagerfeld had a rocket launch right in the middle of his runway. Amazing! The chic looks harkened back to a mixture of 1960s Jane Fonda’s Barbarella, a fashionable futuristic Judy Jetson with a touch of Emma Peel’s The Avengers spy chic, and of course, the timeless Chanel tweeds – all with touches ( a little bit and a lot) of metallic silver running throughout the collection. Read more about the Chanel collection here.

Working Out the Kinks

Category: Naturally Gigi Beatz Comments: No comments

KNOCKERS! Oh My Quad, I’m definitely “feeling myself” after my morning workout! Pre-workout, all I did was spritz my hair with water (to hydrate and lift my hair away from my scalp), finger fluff; then work out and sweat for these popping post-workout curls!

Working Out the Kinks: Natural Hair on the Run

For maintenance, I prefer to “wash and go” daily with conditioner, or just water and styling products to rinse away the sweat and product buildup; I clarify with shampoo and deep condition every 7-10 days. Depending on my mood, I may wrap my hair in a scarf/sweatband or pull it up into a curly pony for additional protection/style during my workouts.

I’m All the Way Up!

KNOCKERS! Let nothing stop you from “Going all the Way Up” wherever your journey may lead! This is me dancing to Fat Joe and Remy Ma atop the summit on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Workout gear can be expensive, so look for good quality bargains at Ross or Target and/or your favorite thrift store; I purchased my workout leggings from Goodwill (they were brand new with original price tag attached).

KNOCKERS! Today is “Texture Tuesday”, and I get the most curl definition when I take the time to shingle and evenly apply an appropriate gel styling product to each strand of hair.
