Throwback

I took these photos a while ago for a styling course I took. I love them so I thought I would post them and see what you all think!

Fashion Etiquette

While I was surfing the net I came across an article addressing whether it was appropriate or not for first ladies Michelle Obama and Carli Bruni to wear white dresses to the D-Day anniversary event this weekend in France.





IMO, it is an antique thought that certain colored garments should not be worn during ceremonies surrounding death. Just because it's a funeral or anniversary of a tragedy, you have to wear black or somber tones? How antiquated!

I hate...

Yes, "hate" is a strong word but if you don't have a strong point of view, you have nothing.

With that said I hate this Balmain Jacket:

I must say it doesn't look half bad in this picture but the more I see celebrities sporting this jacket in it's multiple variations, the more my head hurts. I love structure! Don't get me wrong on that, I just hate the look of shoulder pads. I have since I was a little girl and some things never change...

I mean, is it just me??

What I lust for...

Old or new, these are a few of my favorite desires.

Cartier Love bracelet

I absolutely love the fact that you have to unscrew this bracelet to take it off AND that a portion of the proceeds go to charity

Tiffany Key Necklaces

I've been wearing a small diamond accented key around my neck for the past couple months and I think it's so cute. These I absolutely adore!

Any shoe by Christian Louboutin

I dont even think I have to elaborate

Pucci Sunglasses

They may look a little funky but as I was trying them on in Henri Bendel, I fell in love

A Black Halo Dress

Their dresses are so feminine and flirty. I've noticed that they've become a favorite staple on the show The Game. And rightfully so!

2 months and counting

I'm back! I won't eve go into why I have been neglecting this blog but instead I will jump right back into it. 4 words:

Louis Vuitton Spicy Sandles

Retailing at upwards from 2g's I must admit that I hated these sandles at first, but the more I see celebs out there sporting them, the deeper I fall for them. So many people are wearing these sandles, in frigid weather I might add, that they must be the best thing since sliced bread!

They are so versatile! Sigh... I want these.

The First Lady Covers Vogue Mag

I just got word that at the end of this month, Michelle will become the second First Lady to grace the cover of Vogue. Here's her shot, captured by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz:

I must say, I'm not impressed by this cover. As fabulous as Michelle is, I think this could have been ten times better. I'm definitely glad to see her in Vogue though.

JHud at the Super Bowl

Jennifer Hudson looked surprisingly cute while singing tonight's national anthem at the Super Bowl.



I really love that jacket she has on. If anyone knows the designer, let me know! I do have one issue with her outfit however: leggings are not pants! I repeat, leggings are not pants! Especially when you are knock-knee'd. That is one trend I wish would die in 2009.

What's Really Good Kanye?

I'm sure by now everyone has seen Kanye and his legion of Fashion-doers as they trounce around Paris fashion week. I haven't exactly figured out how I feel about this parade, so I will let you all decide for yourselves.

Are Kanye and crew fashion forward or recalling fashion trends better left in the past?

I love the vintage inspired Goyard and LV suitcases but the leopard pants, come on. And who exactly are these people? So many questions, so little time.



Sideline:


Rihanna on yesterday's Pepsi Smash Superbowl performance:

I think we all get she's the good girl gone bad, but I can't help but think that she's nothing more than an image that isn't even her true personality. I must say I like the edgy adaptations of these Christian Louboutin booties though.

Inauguration Fab

I've been absent for a minute but I just had to take a moment to highlight all the fabulousness that was the 56th Presidential Inauguration!!

Shots from the ceremony:

I was actually suprised at how well chartruese complimented the First Lady's complexion

I can't forget about Malia and Sasha who were absolutely too adorable in their J.Crew outfits:
I really love how bold the colors were.

And I can't go without showing the Obamas at the Neighborhood Inauguration Ball

This dress designed by Jason Wu may have been stunning, but I don't think it was the right fit for our First Lady. All of the Swarovski accents were just a little too much for me; however, I loved her color choice. I think she have worn her hair up, which is a style we rarely see from Michelle. I also love how Barack wore a white bowtie to his black tie affair. Loved it!

Since I have been my typical m.i.a. self, I wanted to drop in and say

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and nye and and even better beginning to 2009.
My biggest resolution of the year is to become a better blogger. I often neglect my baby blog and in order to make my mark, I know I need to be mre consistent and focused. If you all see that I am not upholding this resolution, call me out on it! We all need a kick in the highwaisted wideleg dress trousers every now and then ;0)
