Lanvin, Satin, and Diamonds Oh My!!!

I love shoes and these black, satin Lanvin ankle strap pumps with Swarowski crystal heels are exquisite and just in time for holiday parties. I can see myself in a beautiful strapless sheath showing these bad boys off!!

Barbie to Celebrate 50

Ever since Barbie hit the scene on March 9, 1959, she has been every girls' dream doll. I remember my first Barbie as if it were yesterday, she had on a white dress with black trim with the cutest pink brush for her hair. Because Barbie is a cultural icon, Assouline http://www.assouline.com/ has released a collection book of all things Barbie. This book covers her history and her impact on fashion over the years. Designers that have created Barbie fashions include: Donna Karan, Givenchy, Vera Wang, Versace and Zac Posen. This book is definitely a Barbie collector's dream!!!!!!

Barbie will celebrate her 50th birthday in style with Christian Louboutin designing her a pair of pink pumps with his iconic red sole. Stay tuned for New York Fashion Week in February 2009 where 50 models will strut down the runway in Barbie's newly designed Christian Louboutin pumps!!!

Russian Vogue: Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell graces the December 2008 cover of Vogue Russia edition and she looks beautiful in white fur and diamonds...kinda reminiscent of the snow we are having in some parts of the west coast right now; I love it when its cold out!!

Obama's Pride and Joy

Designer, Oscar de la Renta's beautiful sketch of Michelle Obama and her lovely daughters, Malia and Sasha, in his exquisite designs to possibly wear for Inauguration Day!!!!!

Fly and Fierce

This is what you call dressed to the nines!!! Victoria Beckham is fly & fierce, and doing the damn thing in her own design- a plunging black sheath, black shrug and of course black shades and black leather gloves complete her look....This is why she is a fashion icon (see 12/1/08 post)!!

Ray of Sunshine

Eva Mendes looks so girly in this Bill Blass strapless, ruffled dress!

I know its winter but this sunny yellow hue is awesome all year long. Give your wardrobe a pick me up with a jolt of this bright color. As you can see, yellow looks "WOW" in these feminine dresses!

Fab Fashion Transformation

Kim Kardashian must have a new stylist because she has been looking fabulous lately. She is pictured here in a beautiful slate gray, ruffled dress which is nothing short of gorgeous and this is honestly the best I have ever seen her. Kim attended the Diamond is Forever Empowerment for Africa Dinner in Manhattan, co-chaired by Russell Simmons!!

Winter Wonderland

White can be worn during the winter months; winter white that is!!! I love this neutral palette from the kimono style trench to the glamourous jeweled heels by Christian Louboutin which is accented with this diamond cuff!!!

Fashion Icon: Victoria Beckham

;

Victoria Beckham has brought her iconic style across the pond!! She has a very funky, yet ladylike fashion sense and is definitely not afraid of over the top fashion. Dark shades are her signature accessory that she is rarely seen without.

Get the Boot

We are finally getting some rain in L.A. which means it's time to bundle up in warm, fabulous footwear. I like both short and long boots. This season, there is no shortage of boot options to choose from. Whether funky or conservative, there is a style for every fashionista!!

Pearls and Lace

Worn solo or together, pearls and lace are feminine!! The pearl bracelet is demure, while the lace skirt and pumps are very sexy!

Gucci Launches Tattoo Heart Collection

Frida Giannini, Gucci's fashion director and Rihanna, looking awesome in a red Gucci one shoulder sheath.

Rihanna is the new face for the 2008 Gucci campaign "Tattoo Heart Collection" to benefit UNICEF. She always pushes the envelope of fashion so you never know what you're gonna get from her. I love that Rihanna has her own style and not following any industry trend.

5th Annual Black Ball: "Keep A Child Alive"

Iman, looking like a grecian goddess!


Alicia Keys looked chic in her Armani frock!


Tyra Banks was lovely in a fitted halter gown!

"Keep A Child Alive" is a great charity organization that raises awareness and resources for children in the Motherland of Africa to help receive medical care for aids. The 5th annual Black Ball was held to celebrate the success of "Keep A Child Alive."

Chic and Glamorous

I love to mix and match high glamour with thrift store finds which gives my look a bit of an edge because I enjoy eclectic styles!!!

First Things First

President Obama gave his first press conference today, since winning the election and I am proud to say that he is getting down to business and letting the American people know that we are in difficult times and that he and his administration will move swiftly toward getting it resolved. I'm excited but I realize that God is using Obama as a vehicle to help people see that we are all the same because at the end of the day, Barack Obama is a human being and our trust has to be in the Almighty God!!!

First Family: The Obamas!

It is such a blessing to see the First Family, representing us in unity and love.

Obama Worldwide Victory!

Paris, France


Anchorage, Alaska


Calgary, Canada


Buenos Aires, Argentina

Johannesburg, South Africa

Newspaper covers from around the globe, celebrating President Obama's victory. I am still in awe!!!!

First African-American President: Barack Obama

TO GOD BE THE GLORY; Barack Obama has won the presidency!! He is the 44th president of the United States of America and I am overwhelmed with joy. I cried, screamed and danced!! There were 125,000 supporters present at Grant Park in Chicago where Obama addressed the nation. People of all nationalities turned out across the country, in large numbers to show their support on election night. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, now let's get to work!!

Change Gon' Come!

Fashion Icon: Rihanna

Rihanna has fabulous fashion sense at age 20!! Is a fashionista ever too young?? No because true fashionistas are born with style savvy and hers is funky and edgy!!! Rihanna definitely takes fashion risks and it has worked to her advantage!

Yes We Carve!

Obamamania at it's finest!!! As I was perusing other blogs, I came across http://www.yeswecarve.com/, and I am speechless. You know the support for OBAMA has reached new heights when there is a Halloween website dedicated to Obama pumpkin carvings; it is just confirmation of the positive impact that he has made on America. Happy Carving!!!! PLEASE VOTE ON TUES. 11/4/O8!!!
