Sex in the City

Last night I stepped out for a night on the town to watch Sex in The City and it was just as fabulous as I imagined! I won't tell the details for those that haven't seen it. I loved the underlying theme of the movie that there usually are no fairytale endings in life. I was a little disappointed with the ending but that may have been because I did not want all the "fabulousness" to end. I was so wrapped up in the culture that has become Sex in the City. The theatre was filled with girl groups all dressed up for a night on the town with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. I even liked the music. Here is a playlist of a few of my favorite songs from the movie!

Unrecognized Fashionistas

Kerry Washington and Tracee Ellis Ross have styles that I admire. These two women have distinct senses of style and they are not properly recognized as fashionistas as they should be. I really love Washington's classic style. I really love classics and incorporate them heavily in my wardrobe. I like Ross's style because she is not afraid to take risk. Sometimes her risks are a little too risky for me but I admire her over all look. Tell me what you think about their sense of style. Fashionistas or not?

FAB Swimsuits

Summer is is around the corner which means allot of people are planning exotic vacations. There are also allot of holidays approaching and people will be heading to the beach. Oddly enough I am a Floridian that doesn't really go to the beach, therefore I rarely purchase a swimsuit. This summer I wanted to look for a fashionable swimsuit that I can wear to the beach if I decide to go or that I can wear relaxing by the pool. As always I'm on the search for a complete look so just a cute swimsuit wont be enough for me. I need a look complete with a few accessories. I love classics and my sense of style reflects that. My favorite swimsuits are the ones that reflect the old pinup girl style. I put together a few looks that I thought were fab and found a few fashionable swimsuits. Enjoy the warm weather!

This one is my favorite swimsuit and it is affordable as well.

Maxi Dresses

As I stated before I am excited about the Sex in the City movie. One of my friends is planning a girls night out with dinner, cocktails, and off to the movies. I really want a maxi dress. You can wear them casual for the day with flats and transform them into something glam for the night. I was thinking of maybe getting one for our girl's night out. We are going to the movies so I want something simple, cute, comfortable but still chic. I always like to shop online first so I can get an idea of what I want and what stores I need to go to. My favorite is this bebe ombre maxi dress. I absolutely love it! Most importantly I love that it gives enough room for the well endowed.

















Here are a few others that I think are cute.

Cannes Film Festival

Just a few of my favorite dresses from the Cannes Film Festival. I especially love Natalie Portmans purple ruffled number because its practical and something that an everyday person can wear for a night on the town. Although the other two are not so practical, they are still fab!

Posh or not so Posh?

I am a fan of Victoria Beckham and her sense of style. There are a lot of opinions on rather she can be considered a fashionista. She is either someone that people like her sense of style or don't. I love her style even her haircut. I absolutely love the Pob so much I have one myself. Although she has stumbled a few times and had a few not so posh ensembles I still love her style. What do you think of Victoria's style Posh or not so Posh?

Posh.



















































Not so Posh.

Bright Nail Polish

I just recently got into colored nail polish. Every time I went to get my nails and toes done I would always get a french manicure and pedicure. I had a friend that would paint her nails according to what she was wearing and we could not go out until she had freshly painted her nails. One day I decided to try something different and I got my nails and toes painted hot pink. After that I fell in love with colored nail polish and I like to try all the new bright colors. Your nails just like everything else can be an outward expression of who you are. The colors can change according to your mood, ensemble, or the weather.

Every girl has been in a situation where you are in a hurry but your nail polished has chipped or you just need to repaint. It is the worst trying to paint your nails in the car because it is bumpy and you do not want the polish to spill or get clumpy on your nails. Sally Hansen has created a Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen. It is a pen that you click and just polish your nails, with no mess of spilled polish. The pen comes in eight shades. It is great to throw on your bag for those in case of emergency moments.










OPI always has great colors and fun names to go along with them.




















N.YC. is great because its under $2 and it has the same great colors as the pricier brands.

Printed Heels

I have a shoe fetish. I absolutely love high heels specifically pumps. Every spring I am on the search for the perfect printed heel. I love a shoe that makes a statement. The kind of a shoe where you can put on a pair of jeans and tank top and still be standout. I love Aldo shoes and every spring they release a to die for printed heel. I bought a jungle print pump a few springs ago from Aldo and they are what began my obsession.










On my quest for this springs perfect printed heel, here is what I found.

All Ruffled Up

Ruffles are everywhere and I cant get enough of them. They have been reinvented from the frilly designs that were on my childhood dresses. They are now sexy, chic, and sophisticated. You cant enter any women's clothing store without finding something with ruffles. They are trendy additions to blouses, skirts and dresses. Every woman needs at least one item with ruffles in her closet. I shopped around and I found several different ruffled items in various price ranges. Here is what I found.

MET Costume Institute Gala

The New York's Metropolitan Museum Art transformed into a galaxy of glamour with Hollywood superstars and fashion for the Costume Institutes gala opening for the 2008exhibition of "Superheroes; Fashion and Fantasy". The honorary chairman for this years event was Italian designer Giorgio Armani and the co-chairs were actors George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Vogue's editor and chief Anna Wintour.




















"Inside the museum, 30ft statues of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, contemporary versions of the ancient superheroes sculpted in marble in the museum’s Graeco-Roman gallery. The “Superheroes” exhibition opens with a mirrored illusion of Clark Kent morphing into Superman and features radical catwalk creations by some of the world’s top designers and comic book costumes from Hollywood blockbusters such as Spiderman and Batman."

Here are some of my favorite looks from last nights festivities.

It's Just Hair!

Spring is usually the hair cut season. The warm weather inspires women to look for a cooler and refreshing hairstyle. Until recently cutting, my hair had never been an option for me. Towards the end of last year, I started to get this itch to cut my hair but I lacked the courage. I am a fashionable person and I wanted my hair to complement my style. Some people may think why all of this over a simple hair cut, its just hair. I have always had long hair for an African American woman and the shortest I had cut it was to my shoulders, so getting a hair cut was a very big deal for me. After months and months of going back forth, I decided to do it for graduation. I am starting a new life and why not have a new hair cut to go with it. With five friends by the phone I did the unthinkable I cut my tresses in to what has become known as the" Pob", an asymmetrical bob. I love it I think it is the best thing I could have done for myself. I have received nothing but complements and I absolutely love it. For all those women out there afraid of the change, go for it. It is just hair!

Here are some of the hottest hair cuts for the spring/summer!





















Posh's bob known as the "Pob" is the haircut I requested. I love it and I thought it would be the best style for my face. Here is a picture of how it came out!









































I also really love Katie Holmes haircut. This look really transformed her girl next door image.





















Rihanna's hair cut is fierce! It is a little shorter than I am willing to go but if you have the courage and the face... GO For It!
