Ferragamo Fall 2009

FLAWLESS for FALL!!!!

Professional Chic

Work attire doesn't have to be boring or drab...A classic black sheath becomes extra chic with detailed studs, and a belted leather jacket is a twist on your everyday work blazer.

Rock Candy

Jewelry designer, Paige Novick has launched a new spring/summer 2010 accessory collection and these statement pieces remind me of rock candy and the colors are so vibrant, definitely adding oomph to any look whether casual or dressy!

Best Dressed Fashionista of the Week: Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana's fashion game has been on point this year and she looks nothing short of fabulous in a silver Roland Mouret gown, at the London premiere of Avatar, looking ever so "Old Hollywood!"

The Audrey Auction

Givenchy black cloque silk dress worn to promote film "Paris When It Sizzles."


Givenchy jade green sheath and Rose Bertin red velvet cocktail dress.



Givenchy white ball gown from 1956 for film "Love In The Afternoon."




Audrey Hepburn was a true fashion icon. Her style was simple yet timeless. Givenchy designed most of her ensembles back in the 50's and 60's.

I would rock everything she wore in Breakfast At Tiffany's.



Items from her personal and movie set wardrobes were auctioned off today in London.

Sassy Shoe Saturdays #12

I love Kelly green and when I saw these Nine West strappy sandals in my September issue of Harper's Bazaar, I almost hit the floor. Needless to say, this color is sold out in stores but I found them on Endless.com and they arrive next week.

Can't wait!

Go Green by Deanna Jackson featuring Nine West shoes

Barbie & Louboutin Collaboration

This ain't the Barbie we grew up with!!

"Cat Burglar" Barbie by Christian Louboutin is a definite fashionista collector item. She comes wearing a sexy black catsuit and 4 red-soled Louboutins with their own red bag and shoe box.

Some girls have all the luck!! :-)

Rodarte for Target

Yes, without a doubt, I love Target!! It is such a one stop shop for so many items; and coming December 20 is Rodarte which is a brand of clothing and accessories founded by Kate and Laura Mulleavy. The Mulleavy sisters are U.C. Berkeley graduates from Pasadena, California and have received a number of industry awards since the line's inception in 2005 and have a huge celebrity following. The sisters have also collaborated with Gap.

I'm excited to see the collection when it arrives in stores; and from the looks below, I can see myself in some of these pieces especially the cardigans.

Sequins & Ruffles

I'm such a jeans & t shirt girl because of their versatility. They can act as a blank canvas that can be dressed up or down. These beautiful sweaters by J. Crew definitely dress up and add instant glamour to any ho hum outfit!!

"Life" Beads

I arrived home yesterday to find a gift nestled on my mailbox from my friend Dymesha of Trendy Teez . It was these wonderful beads that she handmade for me. They have little ankh charms attached to them. I call them "Life" beads because the ankh is an Ancient Egyptian symbol that represents Life.

Thank you so much, Dymesha! I love them!!

Cyber Monday

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!!!

Looks like we've certainly entered the "Jetsons" era. Cyber Monday was in full effect, saving consumers time and money. Nothing like shopping in the comfort of your own home with a hot cup of cocoa.

I'm interested to know, did anyone find any great deals online???

Project Runway Winner: Irina Shabayeva

Although I didn't follow season 6 of Project Runway from week to week, I did catch the finale. Irina Shabayeva won the challenge. Her color palette was black and stunning; however it was hard to see the different textures of Irina's collection, nonetheless it was innovative with a mix of punk and sass.

Tis' the Season!

The holidays are amongst us and tis' the season for beautiful cocktail dresses and exquisite shoes. I'm invited to a soiree this weekend and I want to wear something fun and girly like below!

Strapless Frocks by Deanna Jackson featuring Catherine Malandrino dresses

Fashion Icon: Halle Berry

Halle Berry is a gorgeous woman and her style savy is amazing because she knows what looks good on her. She works the red carpet like no one else and I love Halle's less is more approach to fashion & beauty; Glad she went back to her pixie haircut.

The Princess and the Frog: L.A. Premiere

Anika Noni Rose, who does voice over of Princess Tiana, arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Princess and the Frog" looking divine in a one-shouldered turquoise dress by Thread Social.

This is definitely a movie for the entire family, especially our daughters, who will be able to look at Princess Tiana and see themselves. Let's get out and support Disney's first black princess movie!!
