The Lust List: Embroidered Bags

em21The new Gucci embroidered bags have every fashionista in a frenzy, trying desperately to score a coveted satchel. While embroidered bags aren’t a new trend per se, spring’s rendition is certainly less boho, more fashion-forward. This colorful statement-making embellishment takes a simple staple handbag and turns it into an eye-catching piece of art, and a plethora of brands are jumping on the trend bandwagon. From bucket to crossbody to a cute clutch, I am lusting over embroidered handbags (at a more affordable price).

Jay Z Sues Former TIDAL Owners

Jay Z
Hov is heading to court. Jay Z is suing the former owners of TIDAL, claiming that they presented him with inflated subscription data when he purchased the company last year. Now, Jigga is seeking $15 million from the streaming service’s ex-owner, Aspiro, and its major shareholders, Schibsted Media Group and Verdane Capital.
“It became clear after taking control of TIDAL and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners,” TIDAL told USA Today in a statement. “As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale. While we cannot share further comment during active legal proceedings, we’re proud of our success and remain focused on delivering the best experience for artists and fans.”

Here's What Happened In the Empire Midseason Premiere


EmpireIt's been FOUR MONTHS since we were left with poor Rhonda sprawled on the floor of her mansion after being shoved down the stairs, so it was a relief to pick up on her face and find out that she lived. What was devastating, though, was later in the episode when i found out that the little Lyon grandchild-to-be didn't make it. Andre was completely gutted, obviously, and Rhonda thought that it was somehow her fault because she didn't have any memory of the incident.
Later, when she realized she was actually pushed, she didn't tell Andre for some strange reason. Listen, we get that there's nothing worse than having to admit something you don't want to, but not telling your husband you were the victim of a violent crime simply because you don't want to validate his religious feelings is the ultimate in marital spite.

Who Wore It Better? Kendall And Kylie Jenner Wear The Same Dress And Shoes

Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner
It's a sister-sister style showdown!
While promoting their Kendall + Kylie fashion line recently, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner both wore the same exact outfit (same dress and shoes!).
Last month, Kendall attended an NYC launch event sporting a light gray version of their Raw Edge Jersey dress with a thigh-high slit.

Fast forward to last week: Kylie attended a Nordstrom lunch in L.A. in the exact same ensemble, except Kylie opted for a charcoal gray version of the dress and black heels.
These stylish sisters certainly think alike when it comes to fashion! So who wore it best?

Complacency in the workforce should be avoided at all costs.

If we are going to spend so much time seeking work, at work, doing work and/or thinking about work, we should strive to make this whole employment thing beneficial for us via positive matriculation through the ranks with our employers, and also obtaining and maintaining clients and wealth as entrepreneurs as well.
If you are seeking to further your career, no matter what stage you are in, here are five tips to implement into your everyday work life to do so:

Last year that range was re-released in a deal with Bergdorf Goodman and this year, the footwear maestro is beefing it up with two new shades.
