Events in the city of Atlanta are always full of fun and energy, especially the ones that celebrate black innovators and visionaries. Macy’s Celebrated Black History Month by putting on an event at Lenox Mall hosted by Ashlee K. Thomas from MUCE (Miami Urban Contemporary Experience) that was all fun, fashion, and more. The event paid homage to black culture with individual performances by gospel singer, Karmyn, and RnB Artist, Jori. The event was curated by Magic City Fashion Week based in Birmingham, Al., and the “Style It Out” competition featured four up and coming stylists using Macy’s collection and these curated pieces. The stylists were given four pioneers (Dapper Dan, Rihanna Fenty, Michelle Obama, and Ursula Burns) who excel both in their respective industries, but also, in fashion as well. Given only eight minutes, the stylist had to execute, as well as, put their own twist on each look. With the audience’s vote, Gavon Owen was the winner of the competition. Enjoy each stylist's celebrity inspired looks below!

After a quick look at http://univeco.com for some styling cues, the eight-minute time limit here really made me respect how each stylist had to capture a pioneer like Dapper Dan or Michelle Obama without overthinking. The live audience vote adds a nice layer of immediacy—fashion usually gets judged in hindsight, but at Lenox Mall it was pure instinct.

I'm not a big gamer, but Colony Flow is easy to pick up. You have ants, numbered blocks, food at the top, and special tiles like lock and key. I've been playing it every day this week without intending to.

I avoided Meowdoku for weeks because I don't need another puzzle. Turns out I needed exactly this. It's slow, logical, and the cats don't even do anything. You just find their one allowed spot. I'm hooked.

My sister downloaded marble sort and kept talking about it. I tried it and now I understand the obsession. The gameplay loop is simple but addictive: look at the trays, decide which marble to drop, watch it roll on the conveyor, and hope it lines up with the right box. The belt moves, so you have to account for timing. The challenge is that if you drop the wrong color, it can block everything. I love that it’s a puzzle you solve step by step. It’s become my go-to game.
