Beyonce as Mrs. Carter for H&M

Apr29

The hottest chick in the game won’t be satisfied till she’s the queen of the world. One industry at a time, Beyonce has dominated and slayed, everything except fashion. Though she is a beast when it comes to her styling prowess, when it comes to designs her Dereon line has gotten less than stellar reviews. Now present day the masses are hunguring for another celebrity & designer callboration and H&M has answered the call. A summer swim inspired line with lots of shape and lines, depending on your body type you may feel a bit left out, (not full-figure friendly). Nevertheless a beautiful line filled with pattern and bright colors to complement the current neon brights trend.

WILL YOU BE STANDING ON THE LINES FOR THIS COLLABORATION?

What’s Ashanti Doing?

Mar5

I’m sure every once in awhile you wonder what certain celebrities are up to so Miss Merli In NYC did some research on Ashanti to see what she’s been up to. Last time you saw her she was on the Grammy red carpet with her Tony Ward couture gown that landed her on the worst dress list.

“a force of nature, an indomitable woman to whom “Southern Hospitality” isn’t just a concept, it’s a way of life. Latasha finds joy in navigating the daily chaos of singlehandedly wrangling her three children. Family always comes first, but she knows the value of a fun night out with her girlfriends and how a little “me time” goes a long way. Latasha is no stranger to struggle and heartache, but when life hands you lemons, she’ll show you how to make lemonade with a splash of sweet tea.”  –Lifetime.com

Alright Ashanti I see you. Saying good bye to Nelly must’ve been easy since you’re so busy. If you haven’t noticed they are broken up while I don’t know the details, I’m sure she’ll be just fine.

Feb28

Estelle wearing a Sally LaPointe dress and Edmundo Castillo shoes to Kevin Liles’ birthday party last night in NYC, gave me absolute new life. Love the shape of these wedge like phonemes and absolutely need them in my little fashionista life.

The Recap: Oscars 2013 Beautiful Ones

Feb25

What a looooooong night it was, with the two hour red carpet coverage and the actual show being over three and a half hours, I feel like a paycheck should be in my mailbox just for watching. Nevertheless the stars did not disappoint with fashion choices that kept you on the edge of your seat, these ladies included, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington, Zoe Saldana, Catherine Zeta Jones, Kelly Rowland, Stacy Keibler, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner. Their hair, makeup, dress and accessories were all a match made in heaven.

Top 10 Best Dressed Ladies at the Oscars

Choosing ten beautiful women was easy the standouts were the ones that made you say Ooh out loud. No one’s makeup was overstated, simply enhanced beauty which was lovely.  My favorite makeup look of the night came from Adele who won an award for Skyfall. Her dress on the red carpet did nothing for her full figure but her makeup did EVERYTHING! Preferred was her performance dress pictured below.

 Renee Zellweger who seemed to be out for the count last night, wore a simple golden Carolina Herrera dress which I loved but everything else about her was just lackluster including her non existent brows.

Is anyone home? Nope Renee didn’t seem present at the Oscars

Surprise of the night included First Lady Michelle Obama who presented for Best Picture a first for the the White House.

Brandon Sun NYFW Fall 2013

Feb16

Boho chic got a modern twist at the Brandon Sun fashion show, Elizabeth Arden and Red Door created the easy breezy look. Master stylist Zahir Ziani created a chic bohemian bun using the Resistance Double Force by Kerastase (one of my fave hair products) to create a firm but sexy bedroom hair.  For makeup the focus were bold and dark brows think Beyonce’ with dewy skin and a matte lip. A great everyday go to look was created using Elizabeth Arden Pure finish Mineral Tinted Moisturizer, along with color eye shadow in shimmering copper, beliini, and truffle were utilized to create that sun kissed look. Along with the ceramide cream blush in pink and ceramide ulta lipstick in Cameo to finish off the beautiful look.

Craves: Prabal Gurung for Target

Feb8

Welp..with storm Nemo coming full force hitting NYC this weekend, what is a girl to do? What about planning your Sunday morning on line and online, for the new Prabal Gurung and Target collaboration. Great idea says everyone!  I’m always up for high end designers who bring their style to those of us that either refuse to spend their hard earned cash on clothes or can’t afford their celebrity price tags.

With so much color and lovely prints Prabal Gurung is giving fashionistas everywhere heart palpitations, not to mention prices that are budgetnista friendly. So lets talk about my favorites and items that I think will sell out rather quickly.

The Shoes

I love all the shoes while I can’t wear them all (wedges, flats and platforms preferred) they are all reasonable priced with amazing colors to boot here they are.

That Jacket

There is only one in the collection and it’s leather. With the highest price point in the collection, it’s a worthy buy with a color that most don’t carry in their closet for outerwear.

Leather jacket in Dresden blue, $199.99; sleeveless tee in First Date print, $26.99; pleated skirt in Nolita print, $29.99

The Shirtdress

I’m in love with it and oh the many outfit options you can create with this beauty for sure this will probably be the first item to sell out.

Sam Fine for Fashion Fair Event

Jan31

A few weeks after introducing you to the amazing Sam Fine For Fashion Fair Supreme Collection I was invited out to an official launch of the collection and surprise surprise Mr. Fine himself was in the building! This was a low key, relaxed event where a group of bloggers were able to swatch and look at the collection intimately. Sam shared his faves in the collection, the process of creating it, and what is on the horizon for Fashion Fair as their creative director.

I’m already sold on the collection but why should you purchase it? One Word: SAM FINE! No but seriously the lipsticks are moisturizing and pigmented to the heavens and the two palettes are simply perfect for every woman. The packaging… lets talk about how luxe it is and still the collection is affordable. Dare I say, it this is the first time Fashion Fair has really appealed to the younger masses in forty years.

Sam Fine is a makeup artist so he isn’t just making a product to sell but something that pros can use that lives up to high standards a brown that reads that way on the darkest of complexions, a highlighter color that is magnificent and not chalky, bold colors that pop… I can go on and on but I won’t the collection speaks for itself. Sam Fine also shared that there will be more colors added so this is going to be a growing collection. Seems to me Fashion Fair can only continue to go up up from here  Awesome!  Up next, a tutorial on three looks with the Alfami Coast palette so stay tuned.
