New Fav Music Vid: "We Found Love" by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris

I'm going to be honest, the video is way more appealing than the actual song.  I'll also be the first to admit

that I always enjoy watching Rihanna's style transformations, and she definitely doesn't fail to show cute

looks in this video.  Like her, the video is young, fun and sexy.  Enjoy!

Rihanna Inspired Nails From "What's My Name?" Video

When it comes to Rihanna's style, I must say the girl can't be beat.  In the video for her second single off of the "Loud" album I highly adored the cool shades of blue that were used in the styling and to also set the mood in certain scenes.  However, my favorite thing about the video was her blue nail polish which was a mix of baby and robin's egg blue.

To capture the look, but with my own twist, I used three different colors to grab the essence of the pop star's nails.  The colors (seen above) used were Brucci in Kathy's Baby Blues, Wet n Wild in Rain Check, and on the ring fingers, N.Y.C. in Starry Silver Glitter.

Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur

I got a chance to test Rihanna's new fragrance and the verdict is in--i like it.! From the ads of her holding a rose and the title having the word "flower" in it, I expected the perfume to smell more floral.  Instead it's a bit more spicy and something you would expect a mature woman (or man, no judgement) to wear.  I'm a person who wears her perfumes according to season, so in my opinion this is certainly a winter fragrance.

Rihanna and Kate Moss Swap Careers?

The answers are "no," and a "maybe."  WWD reports that Rihanna, 22,  tweeted that she was having dinner with  Topshop owner Sir Phillip Green, former American Idol judge Simon Cowell and others in Barbados a few days ago.  This sparked rumors that she would be the new face of a Topshop line a la Kate Moss, however the dinner was simply casual.

Although the Topshop collaboration with Moss is winding down, Green says the two will continue to work together on capsule collections in the future.  But don't feel sorry for the 36-year-old supermodel; rumors are swirling that Moss has now turned her eye to singing.  She has lent her voice to other artists' tracks, but now she wants to put out her own album.

And don't forget, Rihanna may not be coming out with a clothing line, but her fragrance, Reb'l Fleur is set to hit stores early in 2011.

NJ Glowed in the Dark

"Flashing Lights"

the show was craaaaazzzyyyy!!! i did my best to keep away from as much info about it as possible just so i could enjoy each surprise that was in store. so if you don't want to know about it, then feel free to just skip this and watch the video for a taste. for everyone else, let's proceed. the show opened with Lupe Fiasco which was a shock, but i guess it made sense. i'm sure majority of the crowd expected Rihanna to be the first to go on, but after "Umbrella"... but Lupe did his thing and got the indoor and outdoor crowd warmed up.

next to bat was n.3.r.d. seeing the trio perform was a definite treat since i've been a fan since "In Search Of" and i'm glad i got the opportunity to check them out. they had me glowing literally. all the jumping and "spazin'" had me sweating. then there was a special dude on stage spazin' to, well..."Spaz". he had on a hoodie at first and when he took it off and put his face to the video camera the projected on two huge screens, it was non other than Chris Brown. not going to lie, i felt like i was 18 years old all over again.

the group was followed by the lady of the house, ms. Rihanna. this girl is so gorgeous. i've seen her perform once when she opened for Sean Paul in NYC and that can't even compare to last night. the energy, style, and the choice to not lip-synch was very good. she also threw in some M.I.A. and Lauryn Hill tracks to mix things up a bit. but, I do have one question; now was it just me or did she not perform "Take A Bow"? i doubt i was that wrapped up in the moment to miss it, but i really don't recall hearing it.

and finally, mr. West and his spaceship Jane were out. watching his set was like being at the planetarium and following kanYe along with his portfolio of songs as the theme music. he was able to put his songs together and create a story that flowed so easily instead of just busting out tracks back to back. after performing the Grammy version of "Hey Mama" (which i felt like i was the only one who knew the song because i was the only one yelling the opening part out as he sang) he paused on stage and Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" played. i'm sure it's a part of his set, but being a Jersey resident with an auditorium of fellow NJ peeps, that was a cool touch (oh how i miss the Sopranos). kanYe's set ended with "Touch the Sky", so whoever missed Lupe before was able to catch him for about a minute for his verse.

all in all the show was awesome. when i found out about the tour i knew that i would be going one way or the other. i had great company and i was able to see acts that i always wanted to see in one night. if i could say one thing to k-weezy it would be "thank you" for all his music, imagination, even cockiness because sometimes you need that in this world to get to where you want to be. in return, i'm sure he would gladly say, "...you're welcome." ;)

ps.  pix and more video will be up as the week goes on so keep checking back!!
