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!

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.

The division of House of Dereon, called Dereon, cater's to us budgeteers who might not have the dinero's to pay for it's House of Dereon jeans. Ladie's if you're seeking to find that perfect pair of jeans to fit your unique build, size, spunk, personality and especially your 'purses', go here: Really Long Link Here, they will def get you hooked up with what brand, style, and type is best for your stats.

After I found out my Jean IQ and taste from the site above,I had to do additional research to find a great buy on my House of Dereon brand jeans. Dereon's brand jeans are for $100.00 or less. Hint: I found the pair of House of Dereon jeans(pic) for $98.00, which was half of the original cost. More info at www.theredlemonstore.com

Face it, we love to look GORGEOUS, without paying high fee's to attain it. So check out their website if you're bootylicious and see what they can offer you. Now for all of you out there that's now that bootylicious, I have something for you too. I found this cool site that makes it so simple and easy to find a perfect pair of jeans to fit your size, style, build etc. So as I always say, 'follow the yellow brick road trail and at the end'
they will give you a list of jean brands and more info regarding that perfect pair for you.

Have fun Fashion Friends!!

I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:
1. Wear bright summer colors
2. Play with different patterns and fabrics
3. Play with different accessories, such as earrings, handbags, shoes, etc.
4. Have more than one pair of nice sandals/summer shoes, that are versatile in color. They do not have to be very expensive, but quality and trendy
5. Make-up should be light and natural looking. Mauve's are in this summer.
6. Wear clothes that are tailored to your individual body shape. Example, it you are apple shape, do not try to wear hip-huggers. Take if from me, this is very unflattering. Pear shaped people pull this off very nicely. If you are pear shaped, try a nice baby-doll dress.
7. Make sure you dress light, summer light that is. Your attire should be in line summer trends, sandals, handbags, accessories. My pic's are grecian-meditarian style jewelry, gladiator sandals and a nice tunic summer dress-add a nice handbag and your set!


Don'ts:
1. Wear too short mini skirts, you know the one's that make it hard for a girl to bend over. We're trying to be sexy and fashionable ladie's, not 'HOOCHIE'
2. Never, never wear thick winter leggings or attire in 100 degree summer weather, this just make's us look foolish...
3. Please do not wear loud colors that are not blended well, example, other's think they spot a neon-orange walking a mile away
4.Do not pack on the foundation, powder, blush or any make-up. This is not the renaissance people. Make-up is for enhancement of what's already there, not painting on a totally new face.
5.Hair should be trendy, short or long, but HEALTHY. You can get away with pretty much anything in hair terms, but healthy hair is always in hair. Stay away from long, frothy bangs though. A little color or highlights are always in order.
6. Don't try to skemp around anything previously mentioned. You can definately find quality for less, but keep in mind, you do pay for what you get. So spending .99 cent on sandals might not be a good idea. They will definately fall apart before the end of summer. Shop around for deals on clothing, shoes and accessories. Remember a wise shopper is a happier shopper!!


Hope you guys find my list valuable.....let me know how it have helped you in your fashion journey.

Want to be Rufflicious?

Want to be Rufflicious!

I remember as a little girl, growing up in the 80’s, my mom would put these little light colored dresses on me all the time, and all seemed to have large, small or medium ruffles…uh….I thought ‘THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST HIDIOUS THING EVER, I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I’M ALL GROWN UP, SO I DON’T WEAR THIS STUFF
