New girl crush alert

So of late I've been crushing on Angela Simmons, niece of Russell Simmons and daughter of Rev Run. So I wasn't a big fan of Run's House and I found everyone but Run and the middle son annoying and especially hated Angela's nasal monotone voice but the power of social media - Instagram has provided an insight into how Angela has continued to grow her empire and is now leading the style pack.

Here is a quick run down of why I'm crushing on Angela:

She is a successful business woman and her empire runs further than just Pastry it includes IamAngela which sells clothes and hair.

She is into fitness which I find inspiring she is constantly pushing herself to improve her health and what her body is able to do. A great motivator for me especially when I'm struggling to go to the gym or to my NTC bootcamp.

She seems to be getting her styling down to a T. I love that when she was in Nigeria she represented in ankara styles and silk wrappers and continues to wear them in the States. I also like that she wears highstreet (online) like Virgo's Lounge. One of my go to's for occasion wear - weddings, award dinners, birthday celebrations etc.

So late but now jumping on the Elle Varner band wagon

So basically I love music, especially live music. I am a very regular concert attendee, I would say on average I attend a concert at least once a month. I couldn't imagine my life without music in it, and I love hearing a new album or song and being mesmerised by new talent. So when hearing Elle Varner for the first time, earlier this week - bare in mind its only Tuesday - I couldn't understand why I hadn't heard of her before and why one of my so called friends (if they haven't been sharing good music like this with me I'm not sure I can call them friends) hadn't told me that I needed her album in my life.

Well anyway lets just say I am now a Elle Varner fan and am loving 'Perfectly Imprefect' (her debut album) and Elle has now been added to my line of girl crushes. You can check out her video for the song that led me to want to find out more here 'I don't care'. Let me know what you think of the video x
