[First Look]: PUMA and Solange Knowles Presents: ‘Girls of Blaze’ Disc Collection Lookbook!


Following the recent announcement of her being named as the art director and creative consultant for PUMA, Solange Knowles took up her title and began to work on PUMA's new collection ‘Girls of Blaze’ disc collection campaign.

‘Girls of Blaze’ has Solange's name written all over it, and of course Solo doesn't hold back either in the promo photo shoots as she delivers bold colours, big hair, a unique style and admirable models.

The collection which is already available online at Opening Ceremony and in stores is the first of many projects from Solange with PUMA. Designed by not only just Solange, but with the help of Hisham Bharoocha, Gerlan Jeans and William Okpo this collection has got to be one of the best collections I've seen PUMA do thus far.

Solange joined forces with New York-based William Okpo, a Nigerian design label owned by sisters Darlene and Lizzy Okpo, Gerlan Marcel of Gerlan Jeans, and Hisham Bharoocha.

The look book was shot by Alan Ferguson sees a range of Brazilian inspired colours - both bright and bold, and beyond any doubt will catch the shoppers eye.

Watch Solange Knowles in director mode in the behind-the-scenes footage below, as well as the look book spread when you read more. Will you be purchasing? I know I will! This collection is everything and then some!

Solange: 'TRUE' EP Cover & Tracklist


After four years of releasing an album Sol-Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams, Solange is ready to release an EP and has released the cover and tracklisting to it.

With the title to the EP TRUE Solange's cover art for the EP is different and plain, as the title of the EP is barely seen. 
Squint your eyes, tilt your laptop or whatever you're on back and you'll just about see it. It worked for me.

The tracklist to TRUE includes her hit single "Losing You" but does not feature "Sleep In The Park" (I love that song!). The 7-track-EP will be released on Terrible Records on the 27th November via Terrible Records. I think the song I'll probably be able to relate to is track number 2 "Some Things Never Seem To Fucking Work". I love the title already. That's ME!

Pre-order 'TRUE' EP here

The songs were co-written and produced by Grammy Award winning artist, Devonté Hynes who also worked on Solange's 2008 album Sol-Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams. 

1. Losing You
2. Some Things Never Seem to Fucking Work
3. Locked in Closets
4. Lovers in the Parking Lot
5. Don’t Let Me Down
6. Look Good With Trouble
7. Bad Girls (Verdine Version)

I love Solange and her new sound of music, so I'm definitely getting this EP!

La La who showed me some love on Twitter this past week was spotted in Hollywood filming the third season of her reality show.

La La features in this new rom-com by David E Talbert and begins filming soon. More info on that on It's Just Mobolaji real soon!




Evelyn Lozada has moved on quite quickly from the domestic violence incident she was involved in with husband, Chad Ochocinco/Johnson. Ev goes for a darker look with this dark chocolate new hair colour! And I love it, she uploaded the pic via her instagram and has been getting great reviews from it already! Evelyn was also spotted out with her homegirl and fellow Basketball Wives cast member - Shaunie O'Neal  at an event in LA. 
(P.S. I recently got Evelyn Lozada's book "Inner Circle" and so far so good!!!!!). 

Brandy and FLOTUS - Michelle Obama are glowing in this picture. Two powerful black women kicking it, I couldn't be happier.
