The Look: Essence Music Festival

Over the holiday weekend I couldn't attend the 15th anniversary of the Essence Music Festival, however DistriCt fan Kelly (above) was in attendance representing for the District family and attending the events.

Kel attended NBA star Chris Paul's CP3 Foundation charity event wearing a pink ADAM jumpsuit. That same weekend former MTV VJ and VH1 Charm School host LaLa Vazquez wore the same ADAM jumpsuit to another Essence Music Fest event.

The ADAM 100% silk jumpsuit is bubblegum pink with a draped shawl collar neck.

The jumpsuit retails for $345 and can be found at Intermix
So who wore it best? DistriCt fan Kelly or television personality LaLa Vazquez? Take the poll.

The Look: Fashion Week Ed. :SOLANGE

I heart Solange and I love the look she has been rocking at Fashion Week EVEN more! As the baby sister who was pregnant and married before her 18th birthday of singer/actress/dancer/writer/producer/glam-god Beyonce Knolwes, it's easy to see how young Solo may feel a bit left in the dust.

On the contrary, Solange has been making a name for herself which also includes actress/singer/writer and now emerging glam-goddess.

The look she has been rocking as of late is a perfect testament to her rebellion towards her sister's squeaky clean image. Solange has been seen around NYC's Bryant Park in dainty little dresses and tough girl leather jackets and bright colored little bags

Check her out (above) at the BCBG Show and (below) headed to the Tracy Reese show.


We headed to Cusp in Georgetown to find the perfect little dainty dress to pair with a great biker babe leather jacket and add a off color bag to seal the deal

Like this cotton candy pink Elizabeth and James tank dress with a self-belted waist. $445.00

And this floral Diane Von Furstenburg ruffled piece. $345.00

Or this crimson Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent mini-dress with metalic belt. $275.00

The Look Fashion Week Ed.: Kanye's Denim Jacket

Mr. West is in the building rocking an iconic look at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this year: The vintage Levis denim jacket. As the Fashion Week tents popped up this year, many designers pulled out citing the recession as their reason. With Kanye West having always been a Fashion-forward individual it seems his approach to Fashion Week this year is to be recession-forward and he is letting it manifest through his style.

Check him out (above) in the jacket at the presentation of a Band of Outsiders at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. He is wearing it fully buttoned with the sleeves rolled up and it is paired with army green khakis.

Here he is again rocking the jacket under a blazer at the Calvin Klein show.

Here he is sporting the iconic jacket at the Narcisso Rodriguez fashion show after party over a blue sweater and white t-shirt

Apparently this jacket is absolutely versatile; whether worn under a blazer, fully buttoned with the sleeves rolled up, or open over your favorite sweater or t-shirt it is a must-have for the season. Get yours at the Levi Store in Georgetown.

The Look: Beyonce at All Star Weekend

Beyonce was caught over All Star weekend sporting some uber-casual looks. From court-side seats to charity events, B looked fab with her new glammed-down look that included a crochet beret. Here she is with the chapeau at the All Star Game.

Here she is again with the hat at Mesa Arizona Arts Academy to give a $50k donation musical instruments and a $10k check to the students for Labron James' foundation.

We travelled to Urban Outfitters to find our own crochet caps...check out some of our favorites

Hand Knitted Button Beret, $28.00

Cable Stitch Beret, $28.00

Light Weight Floral Beret, $24.00

The Look: Angela Simmons Jumper

Angela Simmons rocked an ultra modern look on the red carpet of the NAACP Image Awards Pre-Show. Jumpers are making a huge come back in a variety of different silhouettes. Angie chose a cropped pant with a faux wrap top. 

If you want to achieve the look we found a great jumper at Zara on F St. 

This jumper has a deep V-neck so if you are feeling especially sexy you can expose your bra or a lacy camisole like Angela did. This jumper retails for 79.99.

The Look: Dani Evans

Dani Evans

Have you been wondering what Dani Evan, Cycle 6 winner of America's Next Top Model, has been up too? Nope? Well me neither. But she has been on the scene rocking a pretty cute look. Dani has been on various red carpets sporting a cropped motorcycle jacket.

She was seen in it last night at the Oxygen Network's "America's Next Top Model: OBSESSED" Launch Party.

Paired with a little black dress and her extra dark tresses with the blunt bangs...she looked smoking!

Dani Evans, Ursula Stephen, Michelle Williams

Dani was also seen rocking that motor-mini at celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen's birthday cocktail party in New York last November

Do you want to recreate the look?

We found this awesome motorcycle jacket at Urban Outfitters in Georgetown. The classic silhouette is cropped at the waist. This broken-in faux leather is worn at the seems and is zippered on the pockets and at the cuff. This bad boy retails for $128.00.

And for my biker babes on a budget, this motorcycle jacket was found at Forever 21 in Pentagon City. This fully lined faux leather jacket has an asymmetrical zipper, epaulets, and zippered pockets. It retails for $54.80

Throw one of these jackets over a black American Apparel mini dress for $36 and you're guaranteed to turn heads.

I guess our girl Dani Evans has been working since her ANTM days; shes been working the red carpet with this winning look!
