Flashing.... Lightssss

Seriously, I can not wait for Spring! Turquoise shoes, bright yellow maxi dresses, hot pink sunglasses AHHHHHH please get warm soon please get warm soon please get warm soon Start searching for those eye popping pieces now. I have already purchased a pair of bright blue turquoise (Jessica Simpson) platforms. I want to wear them in my sleep, that is how happy they make me. Neon pieces not only look fabulous but make you feel sexy and amazing. So my advice ... throw out all your black, brown, boring hues and invest in a couple listed below. Trust me, you won't be sorry!

Dirty Deeds........... Done Dirt Cheapp

Herve Leger, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Alice and Olivia, Versace, Diane Von Furstenberg, Nanette Lepore, Catherine Malandrino, do I really have to continue on? These are names we have all heard of, we all dream of, and for some of us.. would laugh, cry, hyperventilate, seizure, choke to even get near a piece. However, let's reel this back in to reality. Most of us don't have the means to afford this clothing. This does not mean we can't look like we are worth it though. A name tag does not make an outfit. Now, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite. Let me make this clear, I would do just about ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING to own a Chanel piece, but I also know that a designer label does not define me or my sense of style. There are people who have a lot of money and wear only designer clothes. Some of these people look just like you and me because they have no idea how to style it on their bodies. Having a sense of style is critical and it has nothing to do with having a lot of money. Fashion is about knowing who you are and what you like. From there, all it takes is putting it together. So don’t worry if you can’t afford clothes at your nearest Neiman Marcus. Trust me, your nearest Target will do!

Oh the Bitch is Back

Fashion Alert, Fashion Alert, Fashion Alert::


Spandex and gym shorts... who thought this up?? The extra fabric from your gym shorts is not going to keep your upper thighs any warmer... trust me.

I thought after leaving Auburn, I would never see this dreaded trend again. Well, I was wrong. It's time for me to BitCH it OUT. Let me first say that I do not think the gym is a place to slack off fashion wise. I mean I don't think you have to wear your prom dress but if you feel good in what you have on, then you will feel way better working out. That being said, let me touch on a gym outfit that I find ridiculous and every time I see it, I cringe. It is the dreaded, awful, wacky, stupid, dumb-- leggings plus gym shorts. Seriously, WHY??? If someone can give me one good reason why these two pieces of clothing should be worn together then I would shake their hands and congratulate them. As far as I'm concerned, there is no solid or sensible reason for this outfit. If it is cold outside, you should wear leggings. If it is warm outside, you should wear gym shorts. Now, the only reason I can think of in which you should wear the two of them together is if your house/apartment is on fire and you are trying to make it out with as much clothing as possible. If this isn't the case then damn choose one or the other.

For auld lang syne, my dear

New Year’s Eve
Girl’s everywhere know that this is not just the night in which we ring in a New Year. This is the night that any fashion rule we ever followed goes out the window. This is the night you can get away wearing sequins and sparkles in hopes you blind people when they look your way. Some of us may have waited until tomorrow to find the perfect outfit, some of us have had our outfits planned for days, and some of us could care less. But for those who care, I am offering my input on attire for the big night. Acceptable to wear on New Year’s:: lots lots lots and more sequins, fishnet tights, shorter skirts (I said shorter, not crotch length), feathers, bling bling jewelry EVERYWHERE, the highest shoes you can find, bold colors (think purple, pink), and velvet. Basically anything you can think of. This is the night to throw away the saying, “less is more”. Get to it Ladies!!

She Looks Like a Model, Except She Got a Little More Ass

Check out my August 2, 2010 post. William Rast (designed by Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake) collaborated with Target and the line will debut December 19 through January 22, 2011. Just in time for the holidays!All clothing will be available in stores and online at target.com. Some people have criticized the William Rast collection, stating that the clothing is overpriced and similar pieces could be found at your nearest Gap. This was a great business decision for them since the collection will be priced for people like you and me. I can't wait and hope I'm not disappointed.

I'm in love with the faux leather jacket. Must have!

I'm a Stereo and She's just so Monotone

Fashion is inspiration. To be who you want to be. To be your unique you. It is about confidence It is without rules It is without boundaries. It is about stepping out stepping up and stepping forward. Fashion does not have a price tag. Fashion does not have a gender. Fashion does not have an ethnicity. Fashion does not have a race. Fashion is powerful and it is a voice. Use your Voice.
