Keyshia Cole going back to "The Way It 'WAS"??

Since 2005, after releasing her hit debut album The Way It Is, we have watched Keyshia Cole's rise to stardom: from when she was kinda unknown to becoming one of the biggest female faces in R&B today.

With the success of her three platinum albums (I have every single one!), we have not only watched her progress musically, but also as far as style goes. She has gone from "straight out of the mall" to a gorgeous, Chanel-wearing glamizon! What she's probably most know for is her ever-changing hairstyles in several different hues: red weave, red with blond weave in front (so many people attempted that...they attempted!), short and blonde, Short-ER and black--and others as well.

Now she has returned back on the scene with the original red tress she had when she first started out. I always thought the hair color was gorgeous on her and wondered if she would ever come back to it--lo' and behold..she did! ;-) What I'm worried about is ,with changing her hairstyle back, is she returning back to her old "round-the-way" girl look??

I thought about this after watching her new video, "I Ain't Thru" with Nicki Minaj. In it, she's looking kinda "ghetto fabulous" and "rough around the edges" like she did when she first came out. Although, if by returning to her old look we might get another classic album like The Way It Is--it might not be so bad, if she stands any chance of crossover appeal, she definitely needs to go back to something more glamorous!

What do you think--Is she taking a step back??

A New Look???

Sooo, I'm debating whether or not I want to give ZodioStyle a new look. I think I've just grown attached to the look of the site besides I worked so hard to get the vibe of my blog I wanted it. It embodies everything: It's hip. It's fun. It's fabulous. =)

However, I don't blog just for me; my readers matter as well, so I really need your help with deciding. Help me make this blog your favorite spot! I need ideas for layouts, color themes, new logo designs, concepts, etc. Make sure you drop any ideas you have in the comments below or post them on the tagboard! Hmu =)

Here's just some possibilities for The New ZodioStyle from a great site I found, The Cutest Blog on the Block...

Autumn in Winter: My Fall Wardrobe

First of all, Hey you guys!! I have missed you all and blogging about what I love...fashion! Somewhere with the shuffle of college, it got difficult to blog. I don't have internet access in my room (dumb computer!). Also, as I noted on the tagboard, I had been transitioning into college life, which is so stressful, and I kinda lost inspiration. Even though I haven't been blogging, I have been checking the blog and seeing new visitors still checking it out, so that's good.

That being said...let's talk fashion--it's the ZodioStyle way! ;)

I wasn't sure what kinds of things I wanted in my fall wardrobe. There's so many great trends out now (the military look, art deco, bohemian,etc.)! When I saw a bright, orange bag on forever21.com (favorite store & website btw), I fell in love and knew exactly where I wanted to go with my wardrobe this season.


This winter I want to incorporate the colors of fall leaves into my closet: deep reds, orange, mustard, and browns. My look will be a little more earthy than my usual look, yet with some elements of glam (wouldn't be me without it!) & street chic. Also, I plan on dressing up items that people would normally wear casually; maybe a big hoodie with odd leggings and gold chains or tapered sweatpants tucked in a pair of booties worn with a business blazer. =)

Just some thoughts...here's some visuals that might help you understand where I'm going...

Aesha's Tip: It's o.k. to follow the trends (of course, stay up to date), BUT always find YOU in the trends! Remember that with every season, there's a look that'll fit every style! =)
