Idle Clothing Lines.....

Can you identify the articles of clothing above??? Of course you can! They scream who their creators are.

These days everyone has a clothing line. The difference between clothing lines and designer fashion houses is je ne sais quoi.... Every designer has their own special trait, insignia, and logo. However, what sets apart those celeb-endorsed "fashion lines" from a design house is the logos are not stamped all over the clothes like bright Vegas lights. A true fashionista can easily spot a Versace dress, Prada belt, Dior jacket, Chanel bag, or a non-insigniated LV bag. Even one who may not be so fashion knowledgeable can tell that there is something "special" about a YSL shoe verses the inspired department store version. Quality, details, fabrics, and craftsmanship are so much more superior in a design house.

Super celebs that give their name to "fashion lines" don't even wear the items; unless they are given a promotional opportunity. Most can't even sketch a design, let alone put together a pattern, or know the difference between a bias or seam cut. Most importantly, a design house stands the test of time; it's classic. The designers are just that; they design. They are hands-on with every garment. Their clothes are desired by everyone. It's artwork to be admired and worn.

Classicly fabulous!!!!

Happy Shopping!!!

Body Basic....

Net-a Porter...$60.00

It's a classic-basic, bought back to the forefront thanks to the likes of Beyonce's Single Ladies' video. The leotard/bodysuit is a must have to instantly update your wardrobe; and not to mention it's very comfortable. Add some bold shoulder pads for that sexy Euro-structured look. Layer them under a jacket. Add some power fishnets and OTL boots! Rock them with high waisted pants, skirts, shorts, etc. Be creative and have some fun!

Forever 21..$15.80

Net-a-Porter...$235.00

Spring Fashion Week Predictions....

With only one day away from the beginning of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, I have a few predictions of what we'll be seeing. Spring collections are so heavily influenced by vacation getaways, sexy resorts(i.e. resort wear), and St. Tropez tans. My guess is that sophisticated feminine garb will be the rage for this Spring's Collections. Colored lace will probably be a big influence. Soft draped, skin revealing fabrics will be the new. The color tones will be soft, pale, nude hues; much different from last spring's bright, bold pallet. I think the shape will be bell and silhouette-inspired. Feminine florals will have an edge with textured fabrics and hard accessories.

I'm so excited to see what's in store for us next season!!! Until then, happy shopping!!!

Nail Color Alert....

It's Finally Here.......

These sweet, icy, cold pale colours made their debut during the Fall '09 Chanel show. I blogged about this colour a while back(read here).

Well finally, they are here, just in time for fall. Now the ready-to-wear market can rock Jade and Jade Rose with chic winter garb. So fabulous! Be the first to get it. Simply join the fashion elite (click here). You will be notified of it's exclusive availablity before anyone else!!!!

This fall, while those not-so-in-the-know, will be in the dark(dark nails that is); you will be ahead of the times with ironic pale Jade and Rose nail colours by Chanel!

I Was Here All Along...

It's been a long time,

but I never left you.
Just gave you some time to reflect,
on the fashion tips that I already gave you!

(I know I'm a corny lyracist! For those that know hip-hop; you know where this was inspired from.LOL)

I first must apologize for being away so long. I have no excuses because I don't believe in them. However, I will say that my brain has been running overtime with fashion ideas, thoughts, prayers(yes fashion prayers; I said it. LOL)... I pray for a new pair of Louboutins..(LOL). Anyway, my fingers can't type fast enough to stay on page with my brain. So I will begin by playing a little catch-up with the times.

1)Military Inspired Jackets and Vests are still hott!!
2) You must have a pair of Over the Knee Booots for fall!
3) Find YOUR perfect shade of red lipstick and rock it this fall!
4) Super glam embellishments are a must right now!!!
5) Bold, structured shoulders take you to the next millenimum!!!


Military ...............................................OTK

RED LIPS .............................EMBELLISHMENT



STRUCTURED SHOULDERS

So, in essence this fall, the key is super glam-fabulous, hard-rocker with feminine touches!
Happy Shopping!!!

I've Got What You Want...

Maybelline Mirror Image Nail Polish...

You've seen every fashionista and Diva celeb rocking this color!!!

And now you can too!!!
The season's biggest trend in nail colour that is almost impossible to find!!!!!

Well I got it just for you!!! Take ordinary silver up a notch and you get a metal-mirror effect!!! Color that's so illuminating, people will think you have metal covers or glass over your nails!!!
This polish from none-other than Maybelline was in limited edition and has been sold out for months!!! I have this available on Ebay just for you!!!(Click Here)

This is a two step process:
Step 1) Clear base coat. Do not shake this bottle! Apply thin and evenly and let dry for two minutes. This is very important to let this dry. If you rush it, the color becomes lumpy.

Step 2) Apply the metallic silver coat in even soft strokes. Let coats dry before applying the next coat.

That's it!!! Be bold, daring, and the only Diva on the block to have the real deal! Get ready for compliments galore and questions of where they can get it..LOL

I have a very limited supply of this highly demanded, discontinued, out of stock everywhere item... (How come we always want what we can't find)..LOL.. Anyway, check out my auction on Ebay for this listing and other hotttt Diva items .... from one fashionista to another....

As always,

Happy Shopping!!!
