Michelle Obama mmm....Fashion ICON or Fashion MISS

April 3rd 2009 19:43
Michelle Obama---gotta love her! Being that she and her husband Barak Obama, are the first African American president America has seen. Her style and fashion supercedes most in politics, making her a role model and fashion diva, many has come to fashion after.
I'm not sure if she measure's up to all of the hype mentioned in fashion though. I do truely love her style, classic, colorful, taylored, etc, but does she truely have what it takes to become one of the most fashionable diva's in our modern history.




YOU BETCHA! Many of you might highly differ with me but you have to check her fashion record sweety Mostly, not everything, she wears hits the fashion currency mark exactly. (I would be lieing if I stating that I liked or have loved everything that she's wore) Nevertheless, we can't always get it right all of the time. Michelle Obama has truely inspired me personally as the rest of the world with her class and swagger.

I am a AA woman in American and I believe that she represents my culture well. Her husband Barak Obama has truely found someone worthy enough, fashion and style wise, to be called 'First Lady' of the United States of America. I do believe that we will be talking about her keen since of style, dress, clothing and fashion for many years to come. The pics below shows her beautiful ensemble worn to visit the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth herself at Windsor Palace during the G-20 Summit. Michelle visited children, schools, bought alms and gifts, everything that dignitary in her spot light would do. Of couse she had mockers, in regards to her 'touching the queen'. You have to understand that we 'Americans' are pure 'down home folks' especially African Americans. We are outgoing and no one is a stranger that crosses our paths.




I would love to meet Michelle Obama, talk to her, possibly sip green tea and talk and share idea's on how to raise our children and be the best wives that we can be. Not to mention she is, in my opinion, a great bargain shopper(J.Crew, etc.) Now this woman could be buying the most exquisite of worldwide fashions, and the most expensive, but she and her husband chooses to support our designers and american made clothing. KUDDO's!!



London and Queen Elizabeth never knew what hit them when Air Force one landed on their patch of the world. Hopefully, Michele did not mess up too bad and Queen Elizabeth welcome's her back soon!

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.

Posh doing it big with DVB Style

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.



I like the fact that DVB’s Clothing and Victoria Beckham are now one, really. She has the cutest sunglasses within its DVB line and the most ‘posh’ jeans, straight leg, wide leg, signature, you name it. DVB is reaching and providing a wide variety of fashion need’s with a wide spectrum of different designs and fashions. DVB and Victoria Beckham are rocking the fashion world so, that she has even designed a pair of specifically for model superstar, Naomi Campbell. It’s called DVB by Naomi, cool! She has a line of wonderful handbags, shoes, jeans and sunglasses. She’s devoted a whole collection to fab sense of denim fashion and design. Her line of jeans creates a huge glamorous look for the wearer, definitely!! Look like a star, literally!
For instance, it’s only carried at one of the most sought after boutique’s in the US, Kitson Couture in LA. Peep the upcoming Men’s line, due out this holiday season. Theres been a lot of rumor’s this year of Kitson Couture dropping DVB denim line due to poor sale’s and production.

Have I found my one true pair of Jeans?

July 8th 2008 04:06
I am a young, bootylicious diva, who love's fashion, but in previous years, I've had the hardest time finding jeans that fit my perky look. Jeans were previously made for those of you out there, who are, you know, not bootylicious. I would consistently run across the problem of my jeans possibly fitting in the hips and legs, but gaping tremendously in the waist. I would often have to double loop my belt buckle to make it fit and look ok. But my friends, thank God for fashion geniouses and trailblazers. Many designers are creating fashion, specifically jeans, just for people like me. I guess it did help a little that Beyonce Knowles and her bootylicious video helped put us bootylicious women on the map. Mind you, Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mom and owner of clothing line, House of Dereon, claims that their signature jean is the best pair of jeans for us bootylicious chick and that they've designed it for us specifically in mind, even the gapped waist con.

I really don't know, because everyone has different body builds, shapes and figures. I've bought a pair of their jeans and I do truely believe that they def get an 'E' for effort. Ms. Tina Knowles did a great job with fixing our little jean problemo. Beyonce often wears these jeans from House of Dereon, face it, she is co-owner with her mom and spokesperson. Great choice I might add! Everyone love's Beyonce, her music, her style, her fashion and her personality. She's a bootylicious girl like myself and I thought, hay, they look pretty great on her, let me try a pair. They're also pretty reasonable,considering they are top notch fashion, including couture. They typically go for less than $300.00 but I might add it's not hard to find a pair under a $100.00, for all of you budgeteer's like myself out there

Singer Ciara, we all know her, "Tha Goodie's Girl" (lol). Well, it seem's, she's stepping out into mainstream stardom even more so nowadays. It's reported that she's signed a modeling contract with agency Wilhelmina, a prominant-upscale agency. She's also looking into launching her own clothing line via Steve and Barry's.

If what you want is FAME, STARDOM? Think again!!!!

July 6th 2008 04:39
I ask this question today because nearly every young child strive's to be like Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton or Rhianna, if you get my drift. Stardom and fame are their goals to try to attain. Reason being, popularity, gold, glitz, power, money, fame, red carpets, etc. It's nothing wrong with dreaming or desiring to be successful and comfortable, but at what cost I ask? Often, there is a great cost to be paid. Cost such as paparazzi, tabloids, disfunctional love life, open book life, fake wanna be friends, not knowing who your true friends are, snakes in suits(exec's that is), inconsistant career high's.

Many young men and women are willing to risk these parts of their intimate life just for a glimpse of stardom, the adorement by others and prestige, yada yada. This is a major issue because 20 year old Russian model, Ruslana Korshunova, committed suicide last Saturday. She plundged to her death from her New York apartment. Have you seen her? She had to have been one of the most beautiful fashion models of this time. She's modeled for line's such as Vera Wang, Chrisian Dior, Marc Jacobs and other's. People, her apartment was on the ninth floor. The police has investigated and has definately ruled it as a suicide, but no note was left by her

Is Kanye getting in touch with his other side?....

July 6th 2008 04:17
Kanye West is one of my fav current rappers/hip-hop artists. I've followed his career since he first hit the rap scene. I actually mourned with him when his mother passed a while back. He has
been Vuitton's poster child since he first began rapping, placing ad's in his music and sporting Louis in his video's. It's well known that he own's part of the Vuitton fashion empire, but, 'What's up Kanye, who knew you were thinking about designing?'

Kanye is currently working with designer's at Louis Vuitton regarding an upcoming men's shoe line. Sweet! I love the idea, but I'm indifferent. Kanye has a unique style, but have you seen his shoe's? His SHOES! They're not always as 'chic' or 'on', fashion wise, if you get my drift. I'm really hoping that the top designer's at Vuitton really help Kanye gear this new line's design in the right direction, OK

How to look 'CHIC' on a BUDGET...

July 2nd 2008 07:14
Look Chic on a BUDGET!

Posh chic, african chic, native chic, sexy chic, geek chic, casual chic.....need I go on? Chic is 'in' indeed. All different kinds of 'chic'. 'Chic''s even in the Wiki online encyclopedia. Who would have figured. Nevertheless, I love the Chic look, every one, because every one has it's own unique feel wrapped around the look. I like to look chic, my favorite actually is sexy chic and casual chic. What can I say, I'm a comfortable kind of girl(lol). The key my friends is looking chic on a BUDGET. That's right, BUDGET

What's your fav runway walker?

June 29th 2008 04:19
I love to watch all model's, those from different backgrounds, ethnicities, build and social status, strut their stuff on the runway. I have a little bit of modeling experience myself and I know the feeling. Such a great feeling it is, to walk the runway, hundred's of eyes totally on you, the breeze through your hair and yes, the feeling of top-notch designer clothes touching your skin. Oh what a great feeling!

For all of us who LOVE designer clothes, it gives the wearer such a great feeling. Because I can relate and I personally know the feeling of walking a runway, I respect all models that do this as a profession. I especially like watching my favorites to do it up on the runway. To be my favorite, I look for that 'it' facial look, build, culture, etc. I especially look for a particular runway finesse and grace, when walking the runway

Pop Attire to the rescue!

June 28th 2008 03:19
Look out everyone!! A new clothing line is in the works and it's definately something anticipate. Singer Janet Jackson and brother Michael Jackson has a new line due to be issued this fall. Supposedly, Michael has hooked up with Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier to implement the men's clothing and Janet is pursuing the lingerie part of the line. When the line premiere's this fall, it will be carried by Kitson Couture, who is owner of Fraser Ross-a upscale couture gallary in LA.

I don't know about you guys, but ladie's, wouldn't you purchase a piece of nice lingerie and underwear designed by the queen of sexy, herself? Hell
yes!! I definately would. Now Michael has always been a 'trendsetter'. For all of you who are old enough to remember, remember when Michael was hot in the late 80's and everyone started sporting black and red leather jackets, with silver zippers, with a sequined sparkle glove

The new RED Stick look

June 24th 2008 20:19
Do all of you remember the retro-60,70,80’s look? Madonna, Goldie Hawn and a few other’s use to sport this trendy look. Well, it quickly went out of style, with the turn of the decade: 90’s is here!!! I grew up in the 80’s and at the time, loved the style. But who doesn’t love and try to ride the trend tide in their decade? We all do.

The blue eye shadow, the poofy hair, the curly perms, the leather w/zipper jackets, the whole nine yards. You’ve probably seen that some aspect of this past trendy style is back and a big hit in Hollywood. Lipstick, especially. I personally, really use to hate RED lip color. I felt it made people look like vampires or zombies. But Hollywood has been incorporating the color red, very nicely, I must say, in movies and on celebrities. I like the new, up to date, red lip color, especially with the opaque face

Check my SHOE WORK!!

June 23rd 2008 23:30
I LOVE SHOES!! I think I may be totally obsessed with shoes. I REPEAT, I LOVE SHOES!! I really don’t know how many pair I currently have, but trust me it’s a LOT(LOL)! But what young woman doesn’t like shoes. All sorts of shoes. Shoes give me that tingly feeling on the inside, you know, that ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaahhhh, feeling. Let me stop. Everyone has something. A food fetish, a banana fetish, well I (and many of you) have SHOE fetishes. If I don’t have enough money to buy that “me” outfit, I will settle investing a great pair of manolo’s, pump’s, boots or hills. Anyday…..

I recently saw Sex in the City, the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and oh baby the Shoe!!!!!! See, that’s what I love about chick flicks, though I don’t like all. But at least chick flicks cater to us, women. A great flick with display great style and fashion, something most of us respect and draw from. The main type of shoes displayed in the movie is the Jimmy Choo shoe. Jimmy Choo started around 10 years ago in a small town in England. Bet he never guessed his company would be so international and famous. A very smart, let me repeat, a VERY smart woman by the name of Tamara Mellon, knew of Mr. Choo’s tremendous success in her native, England and proposed a business gesture for him. Thankfully, he accepted and that propelled the Jimmy Choo company that we all know of today, WHOOPEE
