All Hail the King

Lee "Alexander" McQueen
March 16, 1969 - February 11, 2010




McQueen, 40 yrs old, was known for his controversial collections and BEYOND contemporary runway shows. Altho he made a very disturbing exit from the fashion world, his genius creativity lives on forever. Alexander McQueen has truly left a remarkable imprint on his throne.

Eye Candy

When I first came across these shoes, they reminded me of a sweet treat. Feast your eyes on the Guiseppes Zanotti open toe bootie! LOVE THEM!! I know some of you are probably think'n there's ALOT goin on, but in actuallity- it's really not. This is just one of those shoes where wearing less is more. You want all the attention to go straight to your feet!

Grammy's Red Carpet

I know I'm a just a tad bit late, but I wasn't too impressed with the Grammy's this year- w0mp w0mp! However, the red carpet was quite interesting. Some of these ladies may not have taken home a Grammy, but they DEFINITELY took the NIGHT! Adorned with clutches by Judith Leiber and jewels from Lorraine Schwartz & Neil Lane... Fabulousness! You be the judge!

Designers Haute for Haiti

My heart & prayers continue to go out to the people &families of Haiti whom were affected by the recent earthquake. It kills me to see people who already have little to get so0o much more taken away from them. With the devastating disaster of the earthquakes that hit them hard, the fashion industry has not turned their back on Haiti. Fashion designer & president of the CFDA (The Council of Fashion Designers of America) Diane von Furstenberg is collaborating with the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The CFDA is set to launch a "Fashion for Haiti" T shirt. On February 12th, the t shirts will hit stores and cfda.com website. The t shirts will be produced through Theory and will be available for men & women at $25.


Supermodel Naomi Campbell teams up with Sarah Brown, American actress and wife of the British prime minister Gordon Brown to do a catwalk called "Fashion For Relief". Annually Naomi has a charitable fashion show and this year, the proceeds go to Haiti and it will take place on February 18th. The fashion show will feature big name models and celebrities wearing designers like: Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, and many others.

Gucci Gets Around..

Gucci is pop'n up & peek'n out with the peek-a-boo dresses. J. Lo is ALSO rock'n a nice Gucci dress on the February issue of Elle. It's also pricey, around $4,000 but who doesn't love an LBD that'll never go out of style nor collect dust...

And just for the beauty of it...

Top 10 Colors for Spring 2010

It took some doing, but I finally got the "IT" colors for this Spring! Personally, I am loving them ALL, especially the Dried Herb and Eucalyptus- surprisingly since I love bright tones. Actually, a few of the hues in this palette I already have in my wardrobe, some more than others. This is a good thing tho ladies, check your closets before you go out SPLURG'N! You can always mix & match and add on to key pieces that you already own. Maybe throw in a few new accessories {bangles, scarves, belts, etc.} and buy some FLYY heels and you'll be straight when the weather decides to get its' act together lol! Have fun!!

Hold up baby.....

Bib necklaces.... Not intended for a mess, more like a MESSAGE! These necklaces allow you to make a BOLD statement without even say'n a single word. You can get them in various shapes, lengths, colors, & sizes. They liven up the simplest ensemble and sure to be a niice conversation piece. So forget exaggerated earrings because this neck candy is definitely a key item to go Goo-goo-ga-ga for!


Thandie Newton's effortless look courtesy of her $231,300 Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace. Pricey, I know! You can find them at Tar'get, Kohls, JCPenny, & other stores in your local mall under $50. But here's a look at a few bibs I drooled over haha!

Once in a Blue....

The sky isn't the limit with one of the hottest colors of the season! Take your wardrobe to another level with a hint or even a SPLASH of blue.

Big things in Small packages?!

Who says you can't put big things in small packages? Well maybe you still can't but smaller is more trendy this season. No more lugging around that saggy hobo or HUGE satchel, those are literally "throw it in the bag" purses. These small & sleek purses are designed to tote the essentials: lipstick, credit cards, iPhone or Berry, & perhaps just a lil' room for more!

Where Them Bloggers At, Where Them Bloggers At?!....

**throws hands in the air** Lol! Miss Rihanna has graced the cover of W Magazine {February 2010 issue} in a STUNNING Gucci number.. I likes! Plus it has the peek-a-boo effect too! Not only is the cover fab, her other pics are as well. To some they may seem racy & raw, to me they're no where near "Rated R". They're edgy & tasteful...the same Rihanna. There's ALWAYS gonna be some talk about her- I guess that Rihanna reign just won't let up...

Right on the BULLSEYE!!

So0o0oo one of my favorite designers, Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a collabo w/ Tar'get {French accent}!!!! One of my chic hot spots;-) The line is expected to drop in atleast 250 Target stores and Target.com March 7th, I feel like I just had 15 pixie stix!! The collection is designed to reflect the styles of American women of the past & present of American pop culture. I can see it now!! Actually so can you, check out some pics from the lookbook...

Peek-A-Boo, I see.......

Skin, skin, & more skin!! Peek-A-Boo is one of the most rapid and fashionable trends for this season. A pair of cut up leggings and shoulder baring tops may have gotten by in 09... but designers like Rodarte & Alexander Wang take the game to a different level with their RTW collection. I would say skin is IN this Spring but it's actually OUT- Literally!


Michael Kors


Jill Stuart


Alexander Wang


Rodarte.... LOV'N the shoes!!
