The summer is practically over and we are about to enter into the fall season. You may be wondering how you can get the most out of your summer clothes going into the fall season? TCM has provided you with some helpful tips on how to transition from summer to fall with these helpful hints.

Lightweight cardigan during the cool summer nights a light cardigan keeps you warm, you can now use that same cardigan as a layer piece for the fall season. Great with layer tanks, t-shirts and long sleeved shirts.

A belt will give you a spin on your outfit embellish any dress or cardigan of your choice to make a statement. Let see your bust, waist, and hips this fall season. Make sure you do not go overboard with your belt but keep it interesting and appealing to the eye.  There is no reason to go out and buy a brand new outfit when you can just walk in your closet to a refreshing new outfit.

Platform ankle booties are a great accessory paired with the same skirts and dresses that you wore in the summer. Add opaque tights to your outfit when it gets cooler with a stiletto ankle boot and it will give your outfit the look of fall and a hint of classic chic to it.

A ruffled blouse  is light and cool for those days during the summer now you can turn up the heat and accessorize with studs and grommets. Ruffled blouses are great when paired with slacks and a pencil skirt for work or skinny leg jeans and your platform boots for after work activities.

ALL TIPS LISTED ARE TEEN CHIC MAG APPROVED!

I had the distinct honor of attending the “James Baldwin Birthday Celebration Tribute” in Harlem, NY last week Sunday with my good friend Teneille Craig and Patrice Floy.

This mini ceremony was held at “The George Faison Firehouse” for those of you who do not know George Faison, he is the Choreographer of “The Wiz” that starred “Michael Jackson and Diana Ross”. In attendance was Richard Pelzer (a very well known magazine publisher) some of Mr. Baldwins living siblings/relatives and Andre Leon Tally. It was a great event just to reflect and acknowledge those who have paved the way for black people today in the entertainment industry and fought to accomplish there dreams no matter what it took.

The Dream just got a promotion. He Tweeted yesterday and his last Tweets before he shut his page down he talks about being named the new Vice President of Island Def Jam:

“I wanna thank everyone at Island Records/DefJam for their faith in me and making me Executive Vice President of Island Records. Thank you to my team..my manager Mark Stewart & my attorney Aaron Rosenberg for getting this 1st step of a goal accomplished…”

And it was confirmed by the label themselves. Looks like a serious come up for him AND his girl Christina Milian she knew what she was doing…

If you have not seen this movie, what the hell are you waiting for?

If you are into horror/thriller movies this is a must see. I went on a date about 2 weeks ago and this boy just kept nagging me to go on a date. Then the infamous question comes “well what movie do you want to see?”. After observing all my options I needed to watch a movie that would grasp my attention from looking at this person I went on a sympathy date with.

I didn’t have any expectations at first but after 15 minutes into the film, I was hooked. I tell you this little girl is truly cold hearted, no feelings, selfish demon. I’m not going to spoil the movie for anyone but I will say this. I am so not looking to adopt any kids no time soon possibly not ever after this movie.

Kanye West like gays and he doesn’t care. He is prepping to hit the road with Lady Gaga , which is set to be one of the biggest tours of the year. Both artist are international superstars, and have a phenominal following. Lady Gaga expressed this to Kanye before she agreed to the tour:

“I just want it to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay. I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream, It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”

So the speculation and rumors have been layed to rest no more mystery. Even though it’s been 4 years since Destiny’s Child has decided to go solo, it still does not feel like they have been gone long enough to reunite. Sony Records is owed one more album from the trio and with the label recently dropping all the dead weight of artist not meeting the required amount of albums to sale from the likes of : Bow Wow,  Jim Jones, The Cheetah Girls and others. They are not wasting anytime to have Destiny Child put out the last album that is due to them. Now it is not clear if  this will be a “Greatest Hits or Brand New Album” either way in 2010 the album will be released.

The girls are planning to hit the studio once Beyonce finish the last dates of the “I AM SASHA FIERCE” world tour.

Check out Michelle’s interview when she let the cat out the bag:

Michelle told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: “It definitely will happen. We’re sisters, we love each other and we want to work on the future of Destiny’s Child.”

A source said: “They still have another album they owe their label, Columbia Records, on their contract.”

The trio will reportedly head back into the studio to record their new album when ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’ singer Beyonce finishes her current tour to promote her latest solo album ‘I Am Sasha Fierce’.

So I get the chance to hang out with Rihanna every now and then, now that she has moved to NYC for the summer currently finishing her 4th studio album yet to be titled and also currently taking acting classes for a new horror filmed that I believe is schedule to be released in mid 2010 or 2011 don’t quote me on that though. I don’t ever reveal my sources of how close I am or how I met any celebrity, unless if I am working for them and no, I do not work for her.

I just can’t understand how ridiculous paparazzi are when she is in town. Yes, I understand when you are a celebrity it comes with the territory, but there has to be limits. NYC has never really been a city known for paparazzi chasing celebs unlike L.A. who is infamous for that. But either these photographers are banking a lot of money off of there pictures to travel, or people are just selling out cause the recession has hit that hard and TMZ does not make it any better. These guys are on bikes, double parking their cars, ride on the side walk, run people over, knock babies over, kick strollers, you name it they do it all for a picture.

You would think they are football players or money is falling from the sky. The law really needs to step in and lay down the law before it gets any worst, also another prime example is what just happened to Jay-Z and Beyonce. Overseas on their vacation and just because the security guard was doing his job, protecting them, and making sure that they were enjoying themselves. At the time they did not want to take any pictures. The pops loose it and start throw objects and his camera trapezoid at the security guard, when is it going to end?

Beyonce and Lady Gaga lead the pack this year with 9 nominations each for MTV’s Video Music Awards the same catergories. With Gaga receiving much acclaim for her “Poker Face” video, and Beyonce with the obvious “Single Ladies” clip, these two will face off in just about every category that they’re nominated in, including “Video of the Year”.

I’m not to fond of this guy, but I do care about my chic readers so here you go. Here’s Trey Songz and Drake’s “Successful” video:

“I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”

HIS STANDING IN THE GAME

“But when I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that… I believe in a lot of things. 
I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more 
No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”

Here’s Rihanna’s cover for the supplemental Haute Couture issue for the upcoming VOGUE Italia.  Hot!
