Where Fashion & Hoop Dreams meet

Rachel Roy great american fashion designer and star basketball player Amare Stoudamire team up to create a sports line for women. They want to show women how to dress when going to sports events without being overly glamorous. From the look of the sketches the pieces have a boyish edge with a chic appeal. I cannot wait to see what the final collection will look like. But I guarantee it will be far from disappointing !

Tribal Travels

There is an obvious epidemic of tribal wear for this spring and summer. I believe its a true tribute to different unique countries around the world. Women are clinging to this trend tighter than ever pairing them with bright heels and chunky necklaces. The best thing about these tribal  prints is that they can be mixed matched, and you will still look glamourous. So add a few tribal pieces to your wardrobe, and save yourself the international trip !

A Stylist Ambition

Rachel Zoe & June Ambrose are two women that I admire for there perseverance in the fashion industry. As both women being two of the top stylist in the world I know it wasn't something easy for them. Getting to the height of their career that they have reached today is major. But they most definitely have kicked down the door fearlessly. They have styled for some of the most beautiful people Anne Hathaway,Demi Moore, Joy Bryant, Rihanna, Ciara, and Chrisette Michelle. Whenever any of these actresses or singers have shown up to a red carpet event its most likely because Rachel or June has added their magic touch. Seeing how hard both women have worked and how they are able to transform womens style is an inspiration for me, and gives me hope of being able to be where they are someday.

My Shadey Obsession

When I first spotted these shades it had to be two years ago when Mary Kate had the Chanel Half tint glasses on at Paris fashion week. Since then I knew I had to have these glasses in my possesion. But I knew that I couldnt afford the Chanel glasses so I wanted to find a replica of them. I searched my usual fashion websites to find them and I came across two. The first pair were from one of my favorite online store websites called Nasty Gal, but the two tone Chanel inspired glasses were sold out. Which was a let down so I decided to continue looking. So today I came across Nicole Richie's line called House of Harlow through facebook, and I decided to take a look through her pictures. Seeing the pictures from her line I was very impressed with all her pieces. Then out of nowhere I came across her half tint sunglasses and lost my breathe. These glasses are a hot commodity for the summer. A must have !!

Hot Pink Kisses

So I eneded up at the MAC counter two weekends ago just to get a few things. I was helped by a great sales associate she helped me find everything that I needed and more. Even though I picked up the things I wanted, I was in search of a nice lipglass preferably in a pretty color. The sales associate showed me the Loud & Lovely cremesheen lipglass. When I seen it I thought that it would be too bright for my lips, but once she let me try it on I immediately fell head over hills for it and had to purchase it. Since I've had it I have used it almost every other day.  Its not too bright and overwhelming as I thought it would be. I also like it because its not a lipstick where I have to apply a lipgloss over it to brighten it up the lipglass already has a good shine and moisture. So if you want hot pink lips MAC has the perfect remedy.

Nicki Minaj tones it down for ELLE

I am absolutely stunned by the May music ELLE issue with Nicki Minaj on the cover. On this cover Nicki shows a different side of her she looks very elegant and classy. I think the world is so use to seeing her in different color wigs and her outrageous outfits to see her on a toned down spectrum is nice. ELLE did a great job with her wardrobe giving her pieces that were sexy but not raunchy.The wardrobe maintained the same personality as Nicki without going over the edge and she wore them well. Nicki Minaj has crossed all boundaries and broke all barriers and to be on the ELLE cover is a great milestone in her career. This ELLE issue will be apart of my magazine collection.

HOW YOU DOING !!!!!!!!

Had a great weekend with family and friends. But one of the highlights was attending The Wendy Williams show on Friday. My friends and I were all looking forward to this day, and very excited to be on the show. But the day of the show didn't go as smoothly as we thought. It started off very hectic, because we were running late. Our expected time for us to be there was 8am, and we definitely arrived 50 min fashionably late. So as soon as we arrived the security guards turned us down and told us it was no chance of us getting on the show today. We were so disappointed and as we were getting back in the cab that we arrived in someone from the show approached us asking where we were from. I told the man that my friend was from DC and so was I. So he took my phone number down and told us to go wait at the diner on the corner of the block. So we went to the diner and waited impatiently with our fingers crossed for him to call. When he finally did he told us to come back to the studio. We jumped up and ran back. Once we got back we were led in by security who took us to get checked and signed in. After we did that we snapped a few pics of the studio and of each other. As we were waiting to be called into the studio a lady came up to us and led us into the studio and GUESS WHAT ?!?!?!!? we got front row seats. My friends and I were estatic we couldn't believe it. We went from being turned away to being inches away from Wendy Williams. It was great the energy in the studio was high there was a DJ playing the newest songs getting us hype for Wendys entrance. When she came out she looked exactly the same as she did on TV. But I will say she looked much smaller in person. She was very casually dressed. She wore a blue fitted sweater dress black tights and the Christian Louboutin studded flats that I adore. She came out and greeted everyone in her infamous saying "HOW YOU DOING" and then the show began with her first guest Tyrese. He was on the show that day to promote his self help book called "How to Get Out of Your Own Way." When he came out the audience was screaming and clapping for him. Might I add he is very handsome and insightful. He touched on subjects like his family, daughter, and siblings. He also talked about his new movie Fast 5 and his relationship withVin Diesel. When his segment was over he gave the whole audience his new book. The next guest on the show was George Takei he was on the hit show Star Trek. George was very funny and interesting. He talked about his upcoming show that he will be on. The show is in comparison to the movie 3 ninjas. After George exited , the show was over and the behind scene party began. Wendy Williams talked to us for a little bit and after there was a "HOW YOU DOING" competition. Even though this show was over we had to stay because Sinbad was doing a plug for another show that is coming on this Friday. Sindad came on and talked about his upcoming reality show thats coming on WE tv this month. Overall I will say the experience was great Wendy Williams was very nice and so were all the people who worked in the studio. This will not be my only trip to the show !!!!
