Brittany of Pockets and Bows wowed in this form-firing black and white dress. I love that she used turquoise as the accent color. It's an unexpected pop. 

Janet Damita Jo Jackson wore a white Emilio Pucci gown to the Amfar Gala in Cannes. I adore Janet, but this look underwhelms. The fit of the dress around the chest isn't quite right, but the heel-less Giuseppe Zanotti platforms are gorgeous.

Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter returned to the stage this weekend, and according to reports she was in top form. Bey changed costumes no less than five times, and this David Koma Spring 2012 bodysuit is by far my favorite.

We've seen plenty of one-pieces from Beyonce in the past, but this black patterned mesh with leather belt is a new take.

Ciara is giving you body, honey. Every time I see her, I find myself in awe of her toned abs and legs. That's probably because she doesn't mind putting them on full display.

The bottom half of this outfit is perfection. The dark wash pencil leg jeans and Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps are a perfect pair. The top half is classic Ci. Definitely not workable for everyone.

Here's a much more wearable version of the look.

What do you think of Ciara's style?

When I get bored, I like to pick out outfits. Way before ShopStyle and Polyvore, I used to spend my days saving my dream looks in powerpoint. And blogs have only made my obsession worse. There are just so many style savvy women to draw inspiration from. Women of color continue to amaze me with their courage and creativity. These bloggers will have you stepping up your wardrobe in no time.

My mother is a child of the 70s, so I grew up listening to her disco records and admiring the glitz of the era. My favorite divas were never afraid to turn up the glamour in sequins, hot pants, and platforms.

That's exactly what drew me to these shoes. They flashy enough to make a statement but easy to dress down for an everyday errand run. And yes, I would absolutely wear these with a maxi dress to go grocery shopping. Fashion is a lifestyle.

Would you wear them?
