See The First Pics Of Rihanna's Debut Shoe Collection

Rihanna has clearly got the fashion design bug. Following her successful design debut at NYFW with the launch of her Fenty X Puma collection, the songstress has now created a capsule footwear collection.
For her next fashion move, Rihanna has collaborated with none other than Manolo Blahnik.
Riri has been a long-term supporter of the British footwear designer, and is rarely seen without her Manolo’s on the red carpet. She has a particular penchant for Blahnik's barely-there sandals – named the Chaos Ankle-Strap Sandals.

Rihanna in her Chaos Ankle-Strap Sandals It isn't much of a surprise then that her first foray in footwear she called upon Manolo.
The six-piece collection is a fusion of Blahnik’s classic shapes and Rihanna’s personal style. Named ‘Denim Desserts’, the range is predominately denim, but also features embellishment and glitter heavily - just like Rihanna the range is glam, glam and more glam.
Like Manolo’s other styles these shoes don’t come cheap – styles cost between £630 and £2,800. And if you want a piece of the action the collection will be available to shop (or just ogle) in Blahnik’s boutiques in London, New York and Hong Kong from May 5th.
Rihanna shared the news via Instagram with one of the campaign pics in which she wears a pair of thing high denim boots from the collection.
“The day I see a woman in the street wearing my shoes,I’m going to run after her,shouting,Stop!” she wrote.
  

Speaking about his new project Blahnik commented: "This is an incredibly exciting collaboration and I am absolutely thrilled with the results - working with Rihanna has been amazing and her drive, passion, creativity and style has been reflected in the designs, with fabulous results… I think everyone is going to love what they are about to see."

Turns Out, Periods Could Be Behind Your Bad Hair Day

Turns Out, Periods Could Be Behind Your Bad Hair Day

*Sigh*. Just another depressing period side effect to add to the list...
Periods are malicious little things, aren't they?

Not only do they treat us to mood swings, stomach cramps and a £18,450 lifetime bill (yes, REALLY), it's now been discovered that they also play havoc with our hair. Great.

Ever noticed that your locks get greasier when your time of the month swings around? Well, you're not alone.
According to the app Clue - which allows users to track their cycles - ladies have reported that their mane looks more 'oily,' 'flat,' and 'stringy' in the week before their period.
Need the science to prove it? New York dermatologist Whitney Bowe tells Women's Health: 'In the week leading up to your period, progesterone levels soar.

'The hormone triggers sebum production - which means your skin pumps out more oil - and while this increases oiliness on your complexion, it also increases oiliness on the scalp.'
And dermatologist Sophia Kogan adds to Refinery29: 'Although we mostly think of skin as being most reactive to the hormonal, and other, changes of the menstrual cycle, the fluctuations of the menstrual cycle can, in some cases, directly and indirectly affect the scalp and hair.'
But don't worry, there are a few things you can do to combat your greasy hair days.
The week before your period, you should aim to shower more frequently
You'll probably want to stock up on dry shampoo (NB: we always have a bottle on our desks), and you should try to take more frequent showers.
Oddly, it's also a good time for dyeing.
'There are myths that say oily hair can affect processing results, but this is untrue,' says hairstylist Anna Costa.
Fancy dyeing your hair? Now's the time
'Having slightly oilier hair actually can help protect the delicate skin of the scalp from the chemicals as they sit on your hair.'

Little Mix will also work with the company to design their own collection, with Jesy noting: "We've got lots of ideas already, we'd love to have a fashion line in the future."

The ladies recently explained to Glamour UK that the USA Pro line is "not just for working out in, it's casual wear as well." Look for Little Mix to star in the USA Pro Spring/Summer 2016.

Mel B Just Teased the Spice Girls 20th Reunion Again


OK, Spice Girls — there's only so much teasing a fan can take before imploding from all the "will they or won't they do a reunion concert" anxiety.

When Gerri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel B posed for a fabulous usie a couple weeks ago, our Spice Girls reunion fever was on 10. Then Sporty Spice delivered a live acoustic performance of "Too Much" and we almost lost our ish.

At this point, fans must be teetering on the brink of insanity, and what Mel B said about a Spice Girls reunion just might push them over the edge.


"I think I'm the one putting all the rumors out there," Scary Spice said on the British TV special Alan Carr's New Year's Spectacular. "To be serious, it is our twentieth anniversary this year and it would be rude not to celebrate."
She continued, "So hopefully something will be happening pretty soon...I can't tell you what it is yet."

Gah! We feel a Spice World-sized meltdown coming on in the near future. Srsly, we're about to whip out our platform boots with glittery '90s accessories and hold a mini-concert at the local karaoke spot because the suspense is driving us absolutely cray.
