LuShae Jewlery

Recently the fabulous people at  LuShae  gave me the opportunity to sample their beautiful collection of  jewelry.After viewing the site I was impressed with their prices and instantly began to lust over their jewels.  I had the hardest time picking just one item but after much internal debate chose the Pride Cocktail Ring .It arrived only two days after I placed my order. I was so happy because I had already prepared my self  for at least a week's worth of waiting. When I  saw the ring in person I was pleasantly surprised by its quality and design.The piece I chose like  many others they offer is very unique.I know I won't see 12 other girls walking down the street wearing the same ring as me. It was exactly as pictured on LuShae ,if not better. I didn't have to go through the disappointment of receiving something that looked nothing like what I ordered or even worse I regretted buying. I'm already planning my next purchase which will be for my mom's Birthday. They have a little bit of something for everyone so I know I'll be able to find her fabulous piece of jewelry that she'll love.

These are a few LuShae designs that I hope to add to my jewelry box for this spring and summer.

Just Wondering

I know that in the fashion industry creativity and innovation are coveted , but sometimes I wonder if fashion has any limitations?Are the creative boundaries of a designer limitless ,or maybe the better question is, should there be limits  ?

Miss Zoe

I adore Miss Zoe 

I haven't really heard about or seen much of her in a while, so when I saw this picture I had to post it.

Anna Scholz Black and White Label

I think this winter has been the worse some of us have ever seen, so I'm sure that I'm not the only one counting the days until spring. Lately I've been obsessed with all the beautiful floral prints and flowing dresses that a spring/summer wardrobe brings. I've been looking for the perfect pieces to add to my closet for spring/summer and I've found allot of those pieces at Anna Scholz’s. I am completely in love with Anna Scholz Black and White Labels. Both of these collections offer a bit of everything. The Black Label Collection is an extension of her premium White Label .The BLC has a focus on day wear and is full of fresh on trend prints and embellishments. Besides the clothes the best thing about the Black label for me is, it's at a price point that almost everyone can afford (how fab is that!) The White Label is a more premium luxury focused collection and features day and night wear. The WLC is full of beautiful dresses made with the best fabrics. The WLC has a classier chic feel, whereas the BLC has a trendier fresh look. Both lines are gorgeous and would work great together if mixed and matched .These are a few pieces from both collections, check them out and let me know what you think.

Vintage

While looking over fashion shows from this fashion week I find myself amazed by the innovative designs that are sent down the runway.This got me thinking about the vintage clothing that so many love and how far fashion in general has come. So I started doing a little searching for vintage fashion and came across some really great pictures so you know I had to share with you guys. It's amazing to see the differences between then and now, and how some things never change .

RIP Lee Mcqueen (Edit)

As a lover of all fashion I am at shock and saddened by this news.

He had a truly unique artistic vision and he will be missed .

 

After reading over what I wrote concerning  McQueen's tragic passing I decided to revise this posting. I feel that such a talented designer should be remembered by the beautiful art he left behind and not the sad circumstances surrounding his death.

Snowpocalypse

I wanted to start out by saying thanks to all my Fabulous readers for not abandoning me over the last week . You guys rock and I love all the comments and e-mails I get from you all. So I'm sure you all know (via the news) that the east coast has been getting hit hard with blizzard after blizzard . However for Philly this is our third blizzard (over 20 inches of snow) this winter and the second and third were within one week. Philadelphia has had over 40 inches of snow in five days. The city has been shut down completely, meaning no school and for most no work . Usually I would use this extra time to catch up all things fashion and my school work but I've been doing everything except that . I've just been being lazy,reading books, watching movies,cooking, and even playing  in the snow . Anyways NY fashion week is coming up so I should be getting back to usual level of blogieness soon.

So I had to take out the trash and decided to bring my camera so I took some pics while I was out there ,this is what it looks like in my neighborhood. It was super creepy outside because no one was out and it was so quite, but I have to admit it is kinda beautiful.

Do you notice anything different? Yup I got a new camera no more blackberry pics. Yaaaaaahhhhhh.....

I thought this dude was funny as hell. It's not exactly new but I had to post it .

OOTD/Blackberry pics

I haven't posted any pics lately so I wanted to do a OOTD. Me and my friends went to $2 Tuesdays the other night so I finally had a good reason to get dressed up  .I needed to get out of the house and have some fun and I was too happy cause this also  gave me a chance to wear my black sequin blazer for the first time. Before I left the house I got my sister to take some pictures of me.I had a few pics that were taken at the club but I decided not to post them because drunk and hot is not a good look on me . After looking at the pics I was like, I wish I would have wore all black.When I was getting dressed my thought process was I wanna do black with a pop of color, but my color didn't have enough pop to it .It's all good though, I got compliments I had a lot of fun and I met a cute boy (honestly not so much cute but definitely fly)so the night was good .

• Skirt -Alloy
• Top-Oldnavy
• Tights -Torrid
• Belt-Ross (wore  the belt backwards so only elastic part would show)
• Shoes- Endless
• Jacket-Yours
  

O and look at my hair, I got rid of the short do and went back to long hair.I'm glad I tested the short look  out first cause I missed long hair . Even though short hair is in right now and i love the way it looks on Halle and RiRi  it's just not me. I'll take Sher over Halle any day...

2010 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes aired tonight and like many I wanted to see who would take home a globe but for me the real show was on the "Red Carpet".The Golden Globes is a eclectic mix of Hollywoods finest, actors from our favorite shows, and every thing in between.With this diverse mix of people there's the potential for all types of fashion hits and misses .As this was only the GG's and not the Oscars my expectations were not that high. None the less if you show up,you must show out.These are some people who I thought did just that and some I think should ummm,just try again.

First I wanted to talk about some of our fellow fatty's Monique,Amber,and Gaby .

Amber- (I could not find a decent picture of her from last night so I'll post a picture of her dress when I track one down.)

Gabourey Sidibe- I really like Gaby and I think she has a beautiful spirit.With that being said I have to say that every time I see pictures of her I'm disappointed. I think she is in serious need of a stylist (I'm available.) However compared to some of the things I've seen her wear in the past this is one of her better selections.Even though I feel that there are way better options out there she looks pretty good overall. I just wish I could see her in something that was actually age appropriate or on trend. I'm wont talk about hair and makeup, since it was raining everyone gets a pass on that .

Monique-Monique was beautiful as usual.She wore a strapless gold Reem Acra dress and minimal accessories .My only complaint  is I feel like I've seen her in this dress before.I would love to see her try a bold or bright color.

 Loved It

Hated It

 Me and my sister went back and forth about who should be on this list and we only agreed on two spots off the whole list.I know we all have different taste so let me know what who you guys thought were the best and worst dressed.
