Loving the sister duo Farrow, they've remixed "Somebody That I Used To Know" and "Can't Get Enough" by Gotye and J. Cole. Check it out below:

Preston Davis

Here is StyleLikeU's interview with Preston Davis. I love his fearless style, but I'm even more intrigued with his outlook on life. During the clip he mentions "Where do you draw the line? How do you figure out what's your style and what's in style's thought process of style?". Watch below to hear great insights on life and see a fresh take on personal style.

Studded Movement

Spikes, studs, and all things sharp are running rampant in the world of fashion.The embellishments can be added to just about any garment. Below you will find a tutorial for the edgy look.

Suno

We love Suno and Sessilee Lopez. So, we can't think of any combination that tops this. It's absolutely stunning!

Miu Miu

These Miu Miu heels are so darling. I love the curve of the heel, it suits a very modern girl.

Awkward Black Girl

Dear Issa Rae,

Yesterday, I decided to engage in a bit of online humor and remembered the rave reviews I heard about your show via Clutch magazine. Within the first minute I was hooked. I laughed until the episode was over and repeated the same pattern until I realized I had completed the series in one sitting. Thank you for making  characters that I and so many others can relate to. Yes, I have tried to avoid making eye contact with someone I know while driving or walking down a hall way. Yes, I've pretended to search for that important "thing" in my car to avoid an awkward situation and although I've never faked a phone conversation I've certainly typed out a few fake text messages. We even share an obsession with Donald Glover. You get me and I get you! Awkwardness transcends race and gender and it's evident in your comedy. Like your producer said, "There's a little bit of awkward in all of us" and your show makes it that much cooler.

Sincerely,
Another Awkward Black Girl Ericka

Watch the first episode of "Awkward Black Girl". By the way, It's not exactly safe for work.

Julia Sarr-Jamois

We here at The Bazaar Collection have been following the 23-year old fashion editor for Wonderland magazine for quite sometime. Julia Sarr-Jamois' style is organic and effortless. It may have been birthed from the fusion of her Senegalese and Parisian cultures or her days as a model. Either way it's stunning. Check out our favorite looks below!

Bon Iver

There are so many pieces of music floating around the world it doesn't seem like you could listen to it in a lifetime. So, I'm always excited to broaden my collection of music and currently Bon Iver is my indie band of choice. Even though I can't say I've been a fan since the beginning; it's nice to add a change of pace to my itunes by placing this serene almost melancholy group in the midst of the vibrant jazz, hip hop, and r&b tunes. Download their EP Blood Bank here. It isn't their latest work, it's just what got me hooked.





Cheers to @caryfagan for sharing this.

Frank Ocean's Swim Good

Here is Frank Ocean's portrayal of a panda who slays a pretty girl with a samurai sword. Strange? We agree. But, we can't deny how beautiful it is on film.

Sultry Shingai in Harper's Bazaar

A few nights ago during a spout of insomnia and channel surfing, a skinny woman with big hair stole my attention. Her name is Shingai Shoniwa,pronounced Sheen Gee, of Zimbabwean descent and hails from England. She's the lead singer and bassist of the music group Noisettes. The girl  has style and personality for days, so much so that you can't help but to become a fan.  Here she is posing for Harper's Bazaar; see more here and feel free to obsess of the Noisette's song "Never Forget You" here.

Wrapped Up

Hey Bazaar Girls and Boys, It's been a while. I know, shame on us. But, I wanted to share a last minute Christmas wrapping idea.

What: Personal Message Gift Bag

The front: Hey You, Merry Christmas. 

The back: 2010

How: Write a simple message on a paper bag with a black Sharpie marker. To jazz your bag up try using different writing styles.

Merry Christmas

Your Favorite Song is a Lie.

Dear Music Industry,

Most of my favorite songs are repackaged hits from the 60's and 70's. Words cannot express how much my heart breaks when I realize how unoriginal you are. Don't pretend that you're creating "art" when you're just recycling beats and lyrics that belonged to another generation.

XO,
Ericka

Are You An Amber?

A few days ago I made a shopping trip to my local mall. I'm not sure if it's like this for everyone else, but whenever I need to walk out with shopping bags I always leave empty-handed and I didn't want that to happen this trip.

After 30 minutes of picking over the endless racks I found a statement piece! I ran my hands over the sleeves of the dress in approval and thought my mission was complete. Then I realized the dress I had fallen in love with so quickly already had a home in my friend's closet.

Although I tried to ignore it, I didn't like the idea of being a clone. Seeing myself in the mirror with her dress on opened a flood gate of questions. But nothing ceased the desire to head for the cash register until the following scene began to play out in my head:

In the end I couldn't go through with the purchase. I've never been an Amber and I refused to let that trip be a turning point.

 Have you ever been tempted? Or have you ever noticed that your friends new dress looked a lot like the one you had on last week. Sound off in the comments below.
