Solange Knowles Appreciation Post

Let's all take a moment to fall in love with the younger Knowles sister. It's a total plus that her music is awesome, on top of her incredible afro-bohemian style. Swear to god, I'm getting braids because she makes them look so good. Bless.

Instead of watching CNN, BOW.

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN

Rihanna is our hero here at Alicia and Layla headquarters. "Rude Boy" was my ringtone for years and she's pretty much flawless in our eyes (save for gross Chris Brown dramz). I don't have much to say about this except it is just ratchet flawlessness incarnate. Honestly, based on the snippets I've heard, this is the first Rihanna album that I would actually buy. The first song, "Fresh Off the Runway" had me DYING. It's all so, so good. The Chris Brown song (ugh) is even okay, but not the best on there. Seriously Rihanna, well done. 

I am so thankful for this because it took my mind off of the election, which is stressing me out massively. Bless.

Girl Crush: Anna Faris

Anna Faris is really underrated, in my opinion. Ever since I saw the movie Smiley Face where she plays a stoner girl, I saw her in a completely different light! That lead me to watch The House Bunny and I was surprised that I found it so hilarious. I think she's a great example of a female comedian, and she really inspires me ~as a woman~.
