Don Bleek & Yandy Smith

Last night, I attended the New York ‘Press Reception’ for Season 2 of VH1/Monami Entertainment’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, which was presented by Myx Fusion, a fruit-infused moscato. The event was spearheaded by 135th Street Agency and over 200 bloggers, journalists, tastemakers and socialites gathered inside of Stage 48, located in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood for a sneak peek of the premiere episode, followed by a Q&A which was moderated by executive production Mona Scott Young. Cast members including K. Michelle, Mimi Faust, Erica Dixon, Stevin J & Joseline Hernandez were in attendance. Yandy Smith and Lore’l of LHHNY and the cast of VH1’s The Gossip Game also showed up to last night’s event. For the occasion, I went with a casual look! I wore a $30 Zara Tee-Shirt with Faux Leather Stripe and $60 Zara Plain Trousers paired with Balenciaga Violet Monochromes High Sneakers which are from the upscale fashion house Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.

Lala Anthony Co-Host ‘The View’ In Vera Wang & Manolo Blahnik

The other day, I reported that Lala has been chosen to co-host The View. It is rumored that they’re testing her to be a possible replacement for Joy Behar. For her hosting duties, Lala got glammed-up in a $2,295 Vera Wang Collection Sheath Dress with Jeweled Waist accessorized with $625 Manolo Blahnik Carolyne Pumps (seen below in black). The sheath dress features a combination of soft lace with vibrant color, and a sparkling crystal appliques lend a striking finish to the demure silhouette. The back slit relaxes the sheer mesh hem, and embroidered lace lining adds a layer of romantic texture. The suede pointed toe pumps features a slingback strap. What’s your verdict on Lala’s outfit?

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Cast Invades NYC’s Stage 48 For Press Reception

K.Michelle, Stevie-J, Mona Scott-Young, Erica Dixon & Mimi-Faust

Last night, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast members K. Michelle, Mimi Faust, Erica Dixon, Stevin J & Joseline Hernandez invaded New York City for Season 2 premiere screening and press reception hosted by Monami Entertainment, NFGTV and Myx Fusions. The reality stars were joined by the show’s creator and executive producer Mona Scott Young. The event was spearheaded by 135th Street Agency and over 200 bloggers, journalists, tastemakers and socialites gathered inside of Stage 48, located in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood for a sneak peek of the premiere episode, followed by a Q&A which was moderated by Mona Scott Young. Yandy Smith and Lore’l of LHHNY and the cast of VH1’s The Gossip Game also showed up to last night’s event. While on stage, K. Michelle and Mimi reconciled and hugged each other. The biggest highlight of the evening was when a writer from Bossip.Com introduced himself and tried to ask K. Michelle a question. Before he asked his question in its entirety, K. Michelle shut him down once she realized that he was from Bossip because in the past, that blog wrote some negative stories about her. “It’s not up to you to kick me when I’m down because you have a motherf**king keyboard!” K. Michelle screamed at the Bossip writer. She then added, “I got two big ass cheeks and you can kiss them! I got it out, I feel great!” Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta premieres this Monday April 22nd at 8pm on VH1.
