HOLY F**K!

Tue, 18 Sep 2018 01:48:00 +0000

WOW. So much has happened already at the Emmys. We saw Michael Che forcing everyone to thank Jesus, Milli Bobby Brown standing on her seat just to see who won, Betty White accept her award and melt everyone's heart while doing it, and several thousand meems being made of Nico Santos's girlfriend (Now wife) reaction being PROPOSED TO LIVE ON STAGE!?!?!?! (We love a good Emmy proposal of two people who literally half the world doesn't know for a real one)

But seriously though the highlight of the night so far has to be that proposal, I mean, can you believe?!

But hey, anything can happen! Stay tuned into the Emmy's live on NBC to see the crazy with us!

IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE

Tue, 18 Sep 2018 00:09:00 +0000

Yaaassss! Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for all year long, the Emmys! That's right Emmys, live on NBC, are here for the stars to run up on stage, forget their acceptance speech and to grab the award. We're particularly excited to see the funny-man-duo, Collin Jost and Michael Che. We never know what's going to happen on the red carpet and we absolutely love it - as Guiliana Ranic, "Anything can happen here on the red carpet!" But also we don't know for certain what the Weekend Update (A segment on Saturday Night Live) co-hosts are going to joke about. But we do have an idea - Brett Kavanaugh, who's been accused of rape, is staying reeeeeal quiet and trying to stay out of the public eye but it's not really working out (Sorry B.K!). Colin Jost and Michael Che are definitely going to bring that up. Although nothing is promised here. one thing that is going to be guaranteed is that here at Fashion4Ward we are going to have a fabulous time watching along with you and keeping the blog updated throughout the night. Stay tuned!

Nicki MInaj v.s Cardi B

Sun, 16 Sep 2018 04:34:00 +0000

This past NYFW was full of... interesting events, fierce catwalks, clothing and - catfights? (Say whaaa?) That's right. What were first shady and messy comments the rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B hurled at each other on Twitter about well pretty much anything and everything from accusing each other of copying lyrics from another rap song, stealing their spotlight, swag, and style right down to who's at the top of the charts. But very soon, it reached a boiling point and spilled onto the red carpet for the models, designers, other celebrities and basically the world to see when personal matters came into play.

Maybe Cardi B should think twice before coming at Nicki that way she can avoid knot getting hit in the noggin (Get it?) and knot (Oop! There it is again) end up walking away with a big bruise. But why did she start the fight? What was the reason? Who brought the A1 sauce to the table?!

The details are a little unclear and seeing as how there is no official celebrity feud starter calendar to help us keep track, we’re gonna try to clear this thing up anyway. Some say the fraud definetly started when Nicki Minaj literally dropped the mic and the name of Offset, Cardi’s current husband, in Katy Perry’s 2017 video ‘Swish Swish’.

Pink Ferragamo sliders on deck. Silly rap beefs just get me more checks. My life is a movie, I’m never off set. Me and my amigos (no, not Offset)”Was Nicki just spitting rap lyrics or getting the formula cooking and stirring the pot? Fans thought this line was a diss from previous drama, but Nicki quickly put a stop to the gossip and tweeted that the particular lyrics were written months ago.

Sorry Nicki, Cardi was not buying that. Cardi took the bait and decided to come out with her own diss in a song as well. In the video, ’Moterboat’ Cardi can be heard saying

“Yeah Cardi B, I’m back bitches. I don’t wanna hear I’m actin’ different. Same lips that be talkin’ ‘bout me, is the same lips that be ass kissing. These hoes ain’t, what they say they are, and they ***** stank, they’re catfishin’. Same hoes, that was sendin’ shots. They reachin’ out like they back itchin’. Oooooh, we love a good come back! Score 1 for Nicki and score 1 for Cardi... well sorta. Nicki then came the next day to record and shoot her portion of the video which said:

Watch your man, then you should watch your mouth. Bitches is pressed, administer mouth to mouth. You see them stats? You know, what I am about. I am the champ, I’m Iron Mike in a bout. Attention, I’ma need you to face front. You don’t want smoke with me, this is a laced blunt.”PHEW! I’m tired of all this shade! It’s getting a little foggy in here with all this smoke, but the house is about to burn down because Nicki wasn’t done. She came back even 10 times harder and did an extra verse:

“This Givenchy is custom made, now you can’t get it at Sacks though. I don’t work in no office, but they copying and that’s facts though...”Wow they’re is plenty of other messy facts leading up to the big moment of drama, but that would take a whole manual to write out. So I’ll just end with this. Cardi claims that Nicki brought up her man, Offset, (Obviously) but she also claims that she bring her child into the mess (Although, there’s no receipts proving that.). And that was reason enough for mama bear B to go all out on the Queen.

James Franco Is In The Hot Seat

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 21:12:00 +0000

Get out that old mug because FASHION4WARD is spilling some delicious tea.

Everything in Hollywood might seem glamorous on the outside, but on the inside it has more drama and secrets than all of the Gossip Girl and Vanderpump Rules and Real Housewives of Atlanta episodes combined! In wake of these emotional and heartbreaking stories of the overgrowing Me Too movement, more and more women are feeling more empowered to come forward and speak the truth of how they were sexually assaulted/ harassed.

So far we know daytime T.V host Matt Lauer, Film producer Harvey Weinstein, actor Kevin Spacey and so many other men have been accused and now we can add another name to the list. Golden Globe award winner, James Franco. Franco was congratulated on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for his big win on being named the Best Actor in a Musical Or Comedy for his role in The Disaster Artist. But the praise came to a screeching halt when Colbert asked him about the allegations.

His Accuser? Her name is Amy Kaufman, an L.A Times reporter. But that's not all! There are a total of 4 other woman who have came forward with these horrible and serious accusations.

Sorry Ladies, This One's Not For You

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 23:59:00 +0000

Ah Fall, the season of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice, uggs and leggings. I'm talking to you ladies. But sadly enough this post and recent trend is for men. (Who would've thought!) That's right, FASHION4WARD is changing up the game and not only talking about fashion for women but fashion for men too!

So, what's the latest trend? Well with Fall's weather being extraordinarily cold and what's expected to be a brutal Winter, we all need things to stay warm and toasty and what better than quilted jackets to do just that. Everyday these specific jackets are flying off the racks and sported on the streets (Quiet fashionably might I add) turning heads. They're not only good for keeping you nice and warm they look good too, paired with the right clothing and a nice pair of boots of course. Faux or real, one things for sure it's definitely a trendsetter this season, in fact it's estimated that more men are buying these little coats with each year passing by. These jackets are cozy enough to wear and still feel free, but light enough that it won't weigh you down.

So ladies, now you have the perfect gift idea from FASHION4WARD to your man! You're welcome.

Celebrities Outraged

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 16:22:00 +0000

This is certainly no trend that FASHION4WARD or any major magazine, daily news like Enews! and their sub-show, Daily Pop, The View and other forms of news stations likes to report on. But it certainly seems to be one that big stars in the pop, R&B and hip hop industry, T.V host, and basically anyone and everyone is talking about on social media.

Everyone from Lady Gaga to Obama to Kim Kardashian, as well as the many communities are weighing in on the tragic event that made the world come to a screeching stop and caused people to remember that gun violence in America is sadly still present.

Around 3:00 am, a gunman opened fire on the Las Vegas Strip where artist like, Jason Alden, Jake Owen, Aldean, Lee Brice, Dylan Scott and Luke Combs were holding a concert. Killing more than 50 and injuring 400. Celebrities, heartbroken, took to Twitter as soon as they heard the news.

"This is terrorism plain and simple. Terror bares no race, gender or religion. Democrats and Republicans please unite now." tweeted Lady Gaga who said she is holding a live stream via Instagram meditation and healing session in efforts of calming the world at 3:30 pm.

"Woke up to the most devastating news about Las Vegas. I'm praying for everyone in Las Vegas." said Kim Kardashian.

"I pray for the victims and hope all these can stop as soon as possible." Mariah Carey weighs in on the tragic event.

"Words can't begin [to] explain my sadness. My Family and I are praying for the victims of this tragedy." Luke Bryan tweeted

Tyra Banks was shocked. "My heart is with the victims, friends and family that have experienced [this] devastating tragedy in Las Vegas."

Ellen DeGeneres was clearly emotional and distressed. Angry and sad in this tweet, "It's unimaginable. I don't know where to begin. Watching, crying and sending love."

Chord Overstreet, shortly released a statement saying, "Praying for everyone involved in this Vegas attack! I'm so saddened and heartbroken by this. This is Absolutely horrible."

And finally, once the former president, Obama heard the news, he immediately put out a comment, " Michelle and I are praying for the victims in Las Vegas. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families & everyone enduring another senseless tragedy."

And the tweets keep rolling in from all different celebrities and numerous prayers are with the people of Las Vegas as well as ours.

FASHION NOVA

Thu, 28 Sep 2017 05:14:00 +0000

Alright, can we just take a moment to thank the heavens for Richard Saghian (The founder and CEO of Fashon Nova) for his genius idea of starting this clothing line AND using an Instagram platform to promote not only his site but his company? I mean, sure, other fashion clothing companies have done the same BUT his line is off the chain and are coming off the rails faster than they can find big Instagram names to wear FASHION NOVA's clothes! And not to mention it's hot! And best of all, it really doesn't cost that much.

In an interview he did with ESSANCE, he said that quote, "Overprised fashion is dead and fast fashion is the new trend." By "fast fashion" he means - ehem - IT'S CHEAP AS F!#K! But the thing that really catches consumers eyes is how stylish it is - no seriously, go on over to their site right now if you don't believe me.

We just hope he hasn't forgot about the fellas out there that like to remain stylish too. But until then, keep on keepin on!

What Show Is Trending On Twitter?

Tue, 26 Sep 2017 03:08:00 +0000

If you missed it, you're sorry out of luck because the first episode had yours truly in tears as well as the rest of half of America was. ABC's second doctor show comes next in line of Grey's Anatomy, The Good Doctor. And it wasn't just moi who's fingers couldn't stay away from my cell phone - apparently The Good Doctor fans everywhere couldn't either! It took less than 5 minutes for it to become the number one trending topic in the world by adding "#TheGoodDoctor" to the end of their tweet about the show.

It's not enough to tug at our hearts when his hearts when we found out Dr. Shaun Murphy's rabbit died, but his brother too?! On top of that, he has to put up with the judgement from snobbish know-it-all doctors.

This not only makes viewers very angry (I know I was) but hopefully people see the message behind this show:

We often judge, treat badly or underestimate people just because of they have a disability. Or they're muslim. Or they're gay. Or black or white or any trait you deem different/weird. I believe the message is not only that, but to open opportunity to every man, woman, and child. Because, hey - we all deserve to become rich and afford a T.V (Again, if you didn't watch the show, you won't get that.)
