Fabulosity isn't expensive according to Kimora

July 18th 2008 00:46

Kimora Lee Simmons, businesswoman, mother, fashion icon, mogul and personally one person on my 'must meet' list, has unleashed a new juniors line. She's already soaring to business plateaus with her Baby Phat and KLS lines, but she came down a little to help the younger woman and little girls have a little piece of fabulosity.

That's right Kimora, why shouldn't everyone experience a piece of the fabulosity pie. I love being fabulous and portraying fabulosity. Kimora stated that fabulosity is a younger, less expensive version of her Baby Phat collection. We all know that Baby Phat is one the most popular, street fashion lines. The Baby Phat line is definitely at the top my my top 5 hip/hop/urban fashion lines. Right up there with Ecko Red, Enyce, Akademiks, House of Dereon and more. From Kimora's handbags, jeans, perfume, jewelry, shoes and now junior line, the skies the limit in Kimora Ville. Wouldn't you like to live there? Nothing but luxurious fashion everywhere. Fabulosity is sure to have the coolest items for juniors and young ladies, but at an affordable price. Have you noticed how reasonable Baby Phat items are? You can buy a fab handbag for anywhere from $30.00 to up in the hundreds.

The same goes for Baby Phats regular Women’s Line. And oh, the shoes, the shoes are a definite must have. Baby Phats shoes, more often than not, are available is a huge array of colors, styles, patterns, etc. Not only tennis or street shoes are available, but also, sandals, pumps, hills, wedges, you name it honey. Kimora has everything you need in her little fashion bag of goodies. Fabulosity is due in JCPenny Store's this Fall. See a preview of this hot new line below....

Balenciaga: The Spanish Conquistador of Fashion Baby!

July 17th 2008 03:31

This picture of a design at the forefront of Balenciaga's Fall 08 Runway ready-to-wear show, speaks a thousand words. Seem's I don't need to say much here, but I LOVE...
Even his couture line is something to be amazed by(a lot of couture designs do not impress me people). This dress is so hot guys, if you touch her, you will burn your finger. The split's highness, use to be forbidden, no more honey.

Balenciaga, a fav designer, implements and transcends top fashion with merging a touch of his spanish heritage with modern fashion and design. His Fall 08 show, displayed in Paris, included, a remake of 'the little black dress', peplums, armband, fifties style, sack dresses, couture, samurai jackets, urban attire, skinny pants, velvet and taffeta tops, WOW!

This Fall's 08 Balenciaga's ready-to-wear collection, has such variety that you'll will leave with definately more than on piece. Every model look beautylicious, from make-up, to attire, and oh, the accessories. The accessories promoted a bold spanish and or cultural flavor. Models wore different jewels, designs ranging from bold, shiny, traditional jewelry, to textured pieces and the perfect mixing of the two. Including, pearls, gems, crystal type pieces and others.

These accessories that were worn by Balenciaga's models extraordinarily enhanced each piece in Balenciaga's line. From the couture,straight, skinny pants to the remarkable redo of a black dress was down right phenomenal! Balenciaga is strictly a great and fabulous designer, from his Women's/Men's line, to his shoes and handbags. Now wonder, all the top celebrities shamelessly flaunts his pieces. This designer make's Fall 08 really something to look forward too!

Don't like flying Coach, try wearing Coach...

July 17th 2008 03:07

Good, ole wholesome, Coach, an inspired line for the common man, I might add. Love Coach purses/handbags and accessories. One of the best thing about designer is quality. Not taking anything away from non-designer items, but unfortunately, with designer comes quality and luxury. Because of the extremely high quality in the making of Coach handbags, then tend to last their owners for years and years.

You won't see any color fade on this handbag, only great quality and service. A handbag is a girls life. Have you ever heard the saying, maybe from one of your friends or relatives, stating, 'Do you carry you whole life in that bag", if not, I've heard it a number of times. I normally like all different types of handbags and my handbags have their own little closet store room in my house. Coach handbags is a definate must have in your accessory closet space. Also, to enhance your Coach handbag, you have to also pick up a couple of Coach accessories, such as their belts, key chains and more. Coach handbags is probably on the same level of Gucci handbags, well, take that back. Gucci is in a class of their own, but trust me when I say, Coach handbags is fighting or should I say competing with Gucci handbags

To Kill or Not to Kill Croc's....

July 15th 2008 20:12

This is the question?? I am an animal lover myself and I know that many of you out there are the same. But, I am also a fashion and design lover also. So you have to understand this question above. Reason meaning, we often kill crocodiles and alligators and other exotic animals, why, so that we may, nothing else but wear them. Understandable, but this has caused many issues between animal rights groups and others.

Pss, Want to know a secret to the Best of Summer Lingerie? (LINK)

July 14th 2008 18:05

You do, well let me tell you. There’s not much difference between Summer and Winter Lingerie. I would imagine that one major difference is the available fabrics, summer fabrics are light in weight and winter fabrics is heavy in weight. Nevertheless, all lingerie is excellent as long as it is sexy. Now, some lingerie is meant to be called plain, old ‘Sleepwear.’ In my book, for a piece to labeled as ‘lingerie’, it has to meet the qualifications of sexy. Cute, cozy sleepwear is just that, and I have no problem with that. I have some within my closet and it’s what I mostly wore during my co-ed college years. Now that I’m all grown up and married, of course, I would lean more towards the sexier lingerie, especially when it’s time for (you know what)

One of my favorite designers of lingerie and others probably would agree, is non other than Victoria Secret. One of the reasons that she has been around so long and has risen to the plateau of the lingerie world is her quality, design, color, fabrics and of course the Pss…. Factor. I bet you’re wondering what I’m talking about. The Pss… Factor is nothing but plain old ‘imagination’. Most of Victoria Secrets designs are sexy, but not slutty. They leave something to your significant others imagination and I’ve heard that is much more sexier than it’s counterpart. While some women and men are more attracted to a more ‘sluttier’ look (excuse my french), Victoria Secret has kept his core essence of providing luxurious and sexy lingerie to the masses, that also includes the Pss….Factor

An evening in Paris (Hilton Shoes that is!)

July 13th 2008 16:52

Paris Hilton is already a celebrity slash star, with all of her prominent family(Hilton Hotels Heir) and business, social and entertainment endeavors. But, she has added fashion to her list of tasks. With an already thriving clothing and lingerie line, she has added a couture line of very fashionable shoes, I might add. I’ve been reading a lot of flack from other bloggers and gossip columns about Paris’ size 11 shoes and her modeling them herself. For all of you people, I have one thing to say, please ‘put a huge SOCK in it!!’ I respect Paris a lot for her aggressiveness with helping women like me. I wear a size 10 shoe and I am taller than the average woman. I can tell you from experience, that it’s very hard to find cute, glamorous shoes for large feet. I often ask myself, ‘is there only little feet in the world?’ NO. We girls with big feet need love too! Paris is a girl with large feet and she’s not ashamed of it or putting us large feet girls on the map. Because of these reason’s, Paris Hilton get no flack from me at all. Now back to the shoes. I love her new shoe line. Most of the shoes Paris Hilton shoes that are offered and that I’ve seen are fabulous!. I am saying that with a straight face and sincere heart. I would wear darn near every shoe that she has on her line. Now I must say, that I’ve seen a few that is not to my particular taste, but nevertheless, most of her shoes receive and ‘A ’. I think that one of the best things about her new shoe line is that they are affordable. The average retail price of Paris Hilton shoes are between $59.00 up to $195.00. Now for all of you budget shoppers like me, this is music to your ears. It’s like 3 times the party. Large feet cute, awesome shoes, great price, hard to beat that honey. Already showcasing at stores such as, Kitson Couture, Macy’s, Zappos, and Lord & Taylor, Paris Hiltons shoe, clothing and lingerie line is sure to be a hit for years to come.

July 13th 2008 03:38

Everyone knows David Beckham. Wait a minute, everyone also knows his beautiful wife, Victoria Beckham. Victoria Beckham aka ‘Posh Spice’ of the use to be British group, the Spice Girls, totally ‘rocks’. She is a style and celebrity icon, not only in her native country Brittan, but also here the America’s. Victoria Beckham has always had a distinct style of her own. It started with her unique sense of fashion as ‘Posh Spice.’ Though in my opinion, her vocals were not much to sing about, her style has always been preceding fashion edginess I love her ‘has been’ and current style. That’s probably why she’s opted to bring her unique fashion sense to front and center. With her new line, DVB Clothing, Victoria Beckham is bringing that genuine British fashion sense to America. DVB Clothing is already a hit and the crave in England and it’s finally branching throughout the rest of the world, making it a hit worldwide.
