    Did you catch Marjorie and Lori Harvey on The Steve Harvey Show today? I just happened to catch the latest episode while getting my gel nails filled. The mom-daughter duo embarked on a 21-day fitness transformation with another mother-daughter team: Ellen and Lana Ector of Gymnastics Fitness. Marjorie opted for a Gucci Resort 2016 Chantilly-Lace Embroidered Dress to showcase her enviable bod as well as an equally splendid beatdown by makeup artist Courtney Gower. The details as follows:

    MAC Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson Lipglass and Lipstick now available at Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. Available until February 2018. The fashion credits for episode 11 (“Death Will Have His Day”) is still in draft but I was able to get a jump on this week’s episode. First, thanks to Mary Collins of Vauje Jewelry enthusiastically sharing that Cookie Lyon wore one of her necklaces (from her “Empire Inspired” collection) all over her Instagram (follow her at @vauje), I secured my first sighting of the night. And now, after a little searching, here’s the rest of my findings (with cheaper and black-owned alternatives where appropriate):

    Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace [Shopping #Empire]

    /

    Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace costs less than $100 making it a steal and one of the more accessible items worn on the show. Anyone that has been keeping up with Cookie Lyon’s wardrobe this season knows that the billionaire hasn’t worn many affordable items as of late. However, later today, we will see Cookie wearing an $85 custom gold necklace by black-owned brand Vauje Jewelry. Take a gander at the bold neckpiece below: Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace, $85 Counting Betsey Johnson and Lanvin as inspirations, jewelry designer Mary Collins has created luxurious statement pieces since 2009.
