Exhibit E

Making Some Changes...

2014-03-26T12:59:00.000-03:00

In a couple of days, the link to this blog will change, so I'm giving 'Fl@unt' readers a heads up so you know which site to visit to get your daily fix.

I have decided to change the title of the blog as I believe change is healthy - although this does not mean that the content of the blog will change. The new name is 'Exhibit E' and means the same as the former title. This is still a blog that is concentrated on expressing my raw personal thoughts on images, music and social/media topics.

I am putting my ideas on public display which is why I used the word exhibit and E is the inital to my first name which personlaises the title more. So there you go, expect some changes to the blog - but not too much! The new link will be as follows:

NEW VIDEO: Loyal - Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne

2014-03-24T21:54:00.003-03:00

Despite the negative news regarding the singing star lately, this has not stopped Chris Brown doing his music thing as he has released the visual to his new single 'Loyal'.

I cannot stop stepping to this song and Chris recreates this catchy vibe through his tight dance moves in the video. A truly talented performer:

BEAUTY TREND: LAVENDER HAIR

2014-03-10T16:33:00.001-03:00

Spring is here and so its time to frolic in the flowers and maybe go even further and adorn your tresses in all things colourful! Lavender ain't just for the fields...as notorious fashion experimentalist Nicole Richie showcases in her latest Instagram shot:

She has died her hair a bright shade of lavender and Fl@unt loves it! Very appropriate for the warmer, brighter weather. Spring is a time for playing and openness, so make sure you follow that mentality in your style this month.

Show your punk edge like Kelly Osbourne or your whimiscal side like Katy Perry. I dare you.

OSCARS 2014: FASHION FL@UNTED!

2014-03-05T15:06:00.001-04:00

New as well as established acting/directing talent triumphed at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, and the fashion on the red carpet also triumphed - Fl@unt presents the best looks of the night...

BEST DRESSED: KATE HUDSON in Atelier Versace & LUPITA NYONG'O in Prada

Kate looks to-die-for in this desirable dress, shimmering from head to toe - love the draped cropped cape also! Lupita looks equally as exquisite in a custom made gown, contrasting beautifully against her skin tone - she has truly arrived.

OTHER OUTSTANDING OSCAR LOOKS:

Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab Courture Camila Alves in Gabriela Cadena

Its always pleasantly refreshing when Angelina wears a colour other than black, although she looks stunning either way. She glided the carpet dripping in silver, amazing. Camila Alves showed some edge in this long-sleeved gown with a drape on one side. Pale pink makes this look pop.

Penelope Cruz in Giambattista Valli Couture Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta

Penelope always makes a fashion mark at the Oscars and this year was no exception - old school glamorous with a contrast of black and pale pink - loving the drapes this year! Jennifer Garner shows off her athletic figure in this glitzy tiered creation.

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior

We started the Fl@unt fashion picks with light colours and we'll round up with the darkest colour of all. Charlzie keeps it dramatic in the best way possible in this structured black gown with illusion straps.

NEW VIDEO: Fancy ft. Charli XCX - Iggy Azalea

2014-03-05T11:41:00.001-04:00

The Australian, ATL sounding, rapper is back with a mighty new single along with the help of English pop singer Charli XCX to amp it up even further.

Iggy showcases her catchy lyrical flow in this fun track while Charli's unique voice adds extra edge. Great work, ladies.

12 Years A Slave Succeeds at the Oscars!

2014-03-03T12:45:00.001-04:00

A massive congratulations to newcomer Lupita Nyong'o for winnning the Oscar last night for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Patsey in 12 Years A Slave.

I was in tears along with her as she gracefully and emotionally walked the stage to collect her well deserved award. She broke my heart playing Patsey, a tortured, fragile soul. What an outstanding achievement to win an Oscar for your first film!

There is so much promise in this Kenyan actress' future career and she has inspired so many people including myself, encouraging us to never give up working towards your dream as she said in her speech, "Wherever you come from your dreams are valid."

Well done to director of the movie, Steve McQueen, for also picking up an Oscar for Best Picture, the biggest award of the night. This movie is so important and beautifully, honestly made, I'm glad the Oscars recognized this.

Jared Leto also won for Best Supporting Actor for his effecting portrayal of Rayon, an Aids victim, in Dallas Buyers Club, and Matthew McConaughey managed to win Best Actor (before Leonardo Dicaprio!)

BRIT AWARDS 2014: Fl@unt Fashion Picks

2014-02-21T10:15:00.001-04:00

The Brit Awards showcased a stellar line up this year including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams and the one and only Beyonce - all of which are not Brits lol, but they came in force also with Katy B, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah also in attendance.

With such an extended and varied guest list there was sure to be an array of fashion choices to praise and pick apart and Fl@unt has done just that...

CHAMPIONING LOOKS

Lily Allen in House of Holland Katy B in Torn by Ronny Kobo

Lily Allen has perfected her image since arriving on the scene in 2006 showing off her kooky side in this mesh dress by Henry Holland. Like the design, Lily does not stay within the lines of standardization.

Katy B looks stunning in red from head to toe. She shows off her figure in this revealing dress yet manages to keep herself covered. Great look for her.

Beyonce in Vrettos Vrettakos Couture Fearne Cotton

Both elegantly glamorous looks from Beyonce and Fearne Cotton. The women chose to go all out with sparkles and shine and it was only suitable for the celebratory occasion.

Ella Eyre

Loving this girl's look. Ferocious and feline like her vocals.

MASSIVE FASHION FAIL...

No no no no no no no. No Jessie, no. Whhhaaaat were you thinking?????

Birthday Trip to Paris

2014-02-19T14:25:00.002-04:00

I was lucky enough to celebrate my 24th birthday in Paris this weekend. It was an amazing trip and I was able to take in the sights from the Eiffel Tower to the Palace of Versailles and soak in the culture (snacking on croissants and drinking French wine!)

I can definitely see myself spending more time in Paris, its a beautifully lively and social city.

Chiwetel Ejiofor wins Bafta for Best Actor

2014-02-19T14:17:00.001-04:00

So happy for Chiwetel. The extremely talented British actor finally won the prestigious Bafta award on Sunday night for Best Actor in 12 Years A Slave and all I can say is very well deserved. Chiwetel brings to life the memory of Solomon Northup in the most effecting way.

Here's hoping he wins the Oscar on March 2nd. It was also great to see Barkhad Abdi win the Bafta for Best Actor in A Supporting Role for his performance as a pirate playing opposite Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips. He was convincingly threatening in the film and it was nice to see the spotlight shine on him on the night.

BEAUTY TREND: Fuschia Lipstick

2014-02-08T19:35:00.000-04:00

This bright hue is sure to bring out your fierce, funky side - a more daring shade of lipstick for ladies who are confident within themselves and unafraid to show off in the best possible way.

The fuschia lipstick has been a hot trend for the last few months. This sexy shade of lipstick has been worn by Kat Dennings, Kate Bosworth and musicians who are known for their edge, including Rihanna and Paramore singer Hayley Williams.

Beyonce is the latest superstar to sport fuschia lips in her 'No Angel' music video. So be bold and fl@unt the fuschia! Because like Beyonce sings, 'You're-no-angel-either-baby.'

Cover Blast VANITY FAIR HOLLYWOOD ISSUE 2014

2014-02-04T21:15:00.003-04:00

Lupita! Naomie! I cannot gush enough about these two actresses featured on this cover. Lupita looks stunning in a gold leaf dress by Calvin Klein which highlights her astonishing figure - perfection. Naomie looks equally glamorous in a glittering gown with Hollywood hair to match! Positively exquisite.

I am so proud to see half of the cover occupied by black actors who truly deserve such exposure. These actors did great work in cinema in the past year and hopefully this will encourage a new wave of acting in film.

I'm going to have to pick up an issue of this!

Style Diaires - Lupita Nyong'o

2014-02-04T21:08:00.002-04:00

I can't actually deal with the level of this woman's style. Every time the 12 Years A Slave actress has hit an event she has got it right - every time. She is only a newcomer to Hollywood however Lupita has already made her mark in film and certainly in fashion.

Her personal style is funky with a slight edge upon looking at photos of her before she hit the limelight. Lupita has continued to carry this element into her style right now which is constantly evolving. She is not afraid to experiment with cutouts, colour, hemline and texture, adorning an array of bright colours from red to green which contrast amazingly with her dark skin complexion.

Lupita also wears darker tones which absorb within her look effortlessly. She hypnotizes us with her athletic yet curvaceous figure in more fitting dresses with cutouts and also rocks short natural hair adding extra spark. Fl@unt cannot get enough of this lady.

Beyonce Opens Grammys 2014

2014-01-29T13:38:00.001-04:00

Beyonce returned to the Grammy stage on Sunday and performed 'Drunk In Love' for the first time. She was giving us a different Beyonce this time, not too over-produced with a full out dance routine and flashing lights.

What did you think of Beyonce's Grammy performance? Did you like the change of tone?

Elie Saab Couture Spring 2014

2014-01-23T12:45:00.007-04:00

The Elie Saab Spring Fashion Show took place earlier this week in Paris and I have to say, pretty much every dress was a winner. The delicacy in the details and gathering of these gowns is simply divine, utterly magical.
