Solange Opens Up Some Honey

Solange Knowles is October cover girl of the web-zine, HoneyMag.com.

We think she looks really great in the spread, shot by Angela Boatwright. The two photos of in the dresses are absolutely striking.

And we have to say - we're liking the 'do!

In the interview, Solange opens up about everything from her motherhood to her hair. Check out some highlights:

On chopping off her hair:
I guess you just go through different phases in your life. I was pretty much at the point where I needed the change and I needed to focus my energy on more productive arenas. I was putting too much into my appearance and I needed to make this about growth and going to the next stage of my life. I felt like I was being distracted by something as simple as hair.

On her fashion philosophy:
I really admire and study and respect the brilliance of fashion. I don’t live, breathe, eat, drink and depend on fashion to be more than what it is. I think when you have that frame of mind you really can go there. You really have no resignations about putting looks together that are just fun and fearless

On being a mother to Juelz, 4:
I think balance is the essential key to motherhood. I think it’s a really hard rhythm to find, but if you learn how to capture it, it makes the rewards so beautiful. I try not to ever be away from him unless he’s with his dad. We have equal custody, so we work together on it, but it definitely gets hard when I have all these opportunities coming at me. I have to say no to a lot of things because at the end of the day I know that no matter how many awards or accolades or praise or money I get, the one thing that really is a judgment of me is what kind of mother I am.

Word on the street is that she was an absolute pleasure to work with both on set and in the interview. We love that!
