Post


First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for supporting the blog, it is greatly appreciated and means a lot to me. Unfortunately I am going through some personal issues that I need to attend to, so I have to take a break for a few weeks as these issues require my full attention. We will be back shortly after the new year. Please make sure you subscribe via email so you'll be the first to know when we're back up and running. Again, thank you for your support. Enjoy the holidays.

SJP @ Morgans Premiere

Wow! She looks hot! Her makeup is sexy (yes sexy!), and overall this look is great for her. I remember I used to be obssesed with "snake" accessories years ago, looks like it's making a comeback. I need that necklace in my life.


New Music: Sade "Soldier of Love"


I've been torn up inside
I've been left behind
So I ride...
I have the will to survive
In the wild, wild west
Tryin' my hardest...doin' my best
To stay alive

Isn't that the perfect description of what love feels like sometimes?? Loooove this song! I already know the album will be well worth the almost decade long wait!! It drops February 10, 2010.

Damn You iPhone!!!!! (Fashion Apps)

I know every girl remembers the scene from Clueless when Cher used her computerized closet to put her outfits together. I remember thinking that was the hottest sh*t ever and wishing I could do that. I took pics of my outfits and bought some binders to organize them....but somehow it didn't have the same effect. Lmaooo. Well the iPhone has an app called Stylish Girl that organizes your closet and outfits for you. They also have one for men called Cool Guy. They are really seducing me right now! I may have to leave my Blackberry for this App alone!!!



Stylish girl is an application to keep your clothes and accessories organized in the palm of your hand. You can view the items in your closet by tops, bottoms and accessories, which can be purses, sunglasses shoes, you name it. Simply take a photo of each item you want to recall later, file it into one of the three categories, and label it in a way you find best. You can even categorize based on time of year and dressy or casual. If you are going on a trip, or need to remember a cute outfit for later, click create an outfit and piece items together. With each piece you pick click the plus outfit sign, and it will add to your creation. Click plus closet, and continue creating your outfit. If you click the plus my wish button that will pick items from your wish list, basically the items that you’ll get when your next paycheck arrives. If you’ve put something in your outfit and realize it might not be right, just click the item again, click the minus outfit button, and it’s gone. When you have the outfit just the way you want it, click the save button. You can be very specific in your naming, the same as how you’ve labeled your clothes. This makes packing for that next trip really easy so you never have to worry about over packing again!

Here are a few more Fashion Apps:

STYLE.COM: The Web site for all things fashion grants a peek into the runway shows, including the newest ready-to-wear and couture lines, exclusive party photos snapped by Style's paps, juicy gossip and the Style File blog for free, just hours after the actual shows.

LUCKY AT YOUR SERVICE: Look runway-ready yourself with this free app, which lets you browse Lucky editors' favorite merch (and zoom in to see fine details) before finding the nearest stores with them in stock in your size and color.

NET-APP: Net-A-Porter's free fashion app downloads the latest couture arrivals and runway news automatically and lets you create wish lists and share them with friends. A ClosetFlow feature lets you scroll through looks from your coveted designers.

Ralph Lauren Opens Custom Shop!


Today Ralph Lauren opened their custom shop online. You can have items engraved, embroidered, customize logos, monogram, kids can paint their own polos, etc. This should have been done yeeeaaaarssss ago in my opinion, but better late then never! They would make great holiday gifts. I would love to get some cardigans embroidered, polos monogrammed.....*hint* Check out the custom shop HERE.

Ummmm.......


....so yea! Kelis is always ahead of the game when it comes to her style, but somehow I don't think I'm ever gonna catch up to this one. She's been rocking a mullet for a little while now, but I can't say I'm too fond of this version of it. Is her hair grey on the top?? I'm just confused! Gotta love her fearlessness though.

Movies I Can't Wait to See Pt. 2

I was sooooo disappointed with the movies I picked last time around. They definitely didn't live up to the hype. 2012??? *rolls eyes* Enough said!! Let's try this again!


Avatar December 18, 2009


1, 2, Freddy's coming for you.....that still scares the sh*t out of me! A Nightmare on Elm Street April 30, 2010. I grew up watching these movies (someone should question my parents about that smh) so I'm excited to see what they do with this.


The Crazies February 26, 2010. I love the fact that they don't seem to turn into zombies right away, its a slow progression.(Yes I'm a nerd lol) I also hear that they are working on Dawn of the Dead 2 (my favorite Zombie flick) and 28 Months Later.

Zac Posen for Target


Zac Posen's Go International Collection will hit most Target stores and Target.com from April 25th through May 30th. I was just getting ready for the Rodarte line to hit Target on December 20th when I got this news. Happy???? Understatement! I'm glad designers are finally understanding this whole recession thing.

Diddy + HSN= $$$$$$$$$$$


Per NY Mag:


On November 30, beginning at the ripe hour of 11 p.m., the Home Shopping Network will be forever changed when P. Diddy hits the airwaves. Diddy will shill his Unforgivable and I Am King fragrances with the reported goal of selling $400,000 worth of merchandise, and showing the world fragrances can be sold on TV — or, at least, that if anyone can convince the public to buy scents they can't smell, Diddy can.


Say what you want about him, but this man is about his business....SERIOUS business. This is a very smart move on his part. Never watched HSN a day in my life, but I'll be tuning in. I guess their attempt at being "hip" is working. Lol

Nike iPhone App

I tried this out on my friends phone and it is so hot!! I need an iPhone....they really do have an app for everything :( I love this and I don't even really wear sneakers. You can browse sneakers by color, size, or style. It also has a photo matching feature, where you can find a photo of ANYTHING and it will pull up all the sneakers that match the color palette of your photo. Check out the video below:

Forever 21 Launches Makeup Line


The "Love and Beauty" collection carries just about everything. Pressed powder, lip gloss, eye shadow, mascara, etc. Like the clothes, the prices are extremely reasonable with nothing being priced over $5 from what I can see. In my book, that means its worth a try.

Upgrade: Meagan Good

Meagan Good tried some new looks for a shoot she's doing for Krave Magazine. Me likey. But is it me, or does it seem like everyone is trying to be "edgy" right now? Oh well.... either way she looks great! I'm happy she finally tried something different. You can check out all of the photos at the source here.

Booooored!!!!! I need new hair :(

I've been thinking about adding a crazy color to my hair for a long time now (I was thinking a bright red maybe? Or blue! lol), but couldn't figure out exactly how to do it. If done wrong, you have the potential of looking really trashy. I came across this pic of Misa Hylton at Diddy's B-day Bash and she got it 100% right! Somehow she still makes it look classy. I love it!!!! I want it!!!!

Video Of The Week: Lady Gaga "Bad Romance"

She is definitely the reigning Queen of Avant-Garde right now, no doubt about it. Fashion, music, videos, performances....she's basically killing it on all fronts. It kills me how people always say that there is no creativity in music and that everyone is just copying each other, yet turn around and call her a weirdo. SMH & LOL! Lord knows I get bored with music and videos, so I love her for bringing something fresh and new to the table every single time. The visuals in this video are INSANE! Love it!
