Happy Friday! Check out my Friday picks for Sept. 24th: Beyonce and Solange’s new Instagram photos; Dlectricity is this weekend; two new fitness events and art shows; and two books to add to your reading list.
A FEW THINGS I’M LOVIN’
I’m lovin’ the new Adidas Triple Platform Hi Shoes (OMG!) and the OZWEEGO Shoes (the leopard print and bold colors tho!). Pancakes for dinner. Beyoncé and Solange’s new IG posts. And binge-watching Orange Is the New Black (because I never finished it).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QUEEN BEY!
Happy 40th birthday to Beyoncé! The actress/singer shared beautiful photos of her wearing a sequined green Dolce & Gabbana dress. On her website, she shared:
“Whoever tried to condition women to feel that we are supposed to feel old or unhappy when we turn 40 got it ALL THE WAY F’d UP. This has absolutely been the best I’ve felt in my life. I’m so grateful to be GROWN, GROWN!”
Beyoncé, https://www.beyonce.com/
I couldn’t agree more! Happy birthday, Queen!
