The Latin Barnyard..Chanel 2010 Campaign

Chanel is one of my favorite labels. Chanel is the epitome of classic fashion with contemporary flair and every campaign never cease to amaze me. The Spring/Summer 2010 campaign is no different. Shot by Karl Lagerfield in Buenos Aires, the barnyard theme from the runway was taken to another level by adding a bit of Latin sass.

I love it!!!



















The stars of the campaign: Claudia Schiffer, Freja Beha, and Baptiste Giabiconi

Vibe Fashion Spread with Amber Rose

Check out this Vibe spread featuring Amber Rose. If you been living under a rock and don't know who Amber Rose is, she is Kanye West's girlfriend. Ms. Rose, who is an ex-stripper (allegedly), is the only girlfriend who has been able to gain celebrity status from dating the Louis Vouitton Don and I can see why. Although all of Yeezy's  ex boos have been pretty, Amber Rose stands out. First she has the shaved head look going on which I think looks great on her(not too many women can pull this look off). Then she's fashion forward; girlfriend has a style(maybe not crazy authentic style but she has it). Lastly, she's pretty. Her whole look is unique enough for the prestigious Ford Model Agency to sign her back in the summer. Since then Amber has done spreads for eModa Magazine, Elle, and now Vibe.











 The spread is chic and classy. Nothing wow about it but Amber looks nice. What ya think?

Beyonce in Heat

OMG, another celeb has hopped on the parfum bandwagon and it is none other than Ms. Sasha Fierce, herself, Beyonce. Slated for February 2010, Heat is the entertainer's first scent and is estimated to make $100 million within its first year. Beyonce's team hopes that Heat will "re-energize the celebrity category." Check out the commercial.




If the fragrance market is so beleaguered why does it seem like every celeb is launching or has a signature scent? Rihanna, Kanye, Eva Longoria-Parker, Beyonce etc etc. The list can go on and on. Is it that celebs are thinking like B's team? Hoping to create the parfum that will breathe new life into the troubled market? Nonetheless, B do ya thang. I'm pretty sure Heat will do extremely well.

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Chanuka..Happy Holidays

Hey Fashionistas,

I hope you all had a merry and blessed Christmas!I love holidays because you spend it with the ones you love and it's a great feeling when you're able to spend time with the ones who love you back. Holidays also give you a chance to do something nice for others or the less fortunate(even though we as humans should be giving to others regardless of holidays)but nonetheless tis the season to be jolly, happy, and grateful for everything in your life; health, success, family and friends, flaws, rejections, mistakes,etc etc. These are things that make us stronger and prepares us for bigger and better things ahead. So EAT(love foooood!!!), drink, and be merry!!

Now on to the fun stuff. Here's what Santa brought me:
32" flat screen TV(can't tell me nothing now)
fluffy slippers(was in dire need of)
$$$ from my Grandma
Laptop elevator with cooling fan(my laptop will burn the cuticles off you lol)
and the Droid Eris

Santa was really nice to me. So how was your Christmas and what did Santa bring you?

Stylish Last Minute Christmas Gifts

 With Christmas only 2 days away and me on a budget, I'm still shopping for fab xmas gifts for my mom and friends. So while brainstorming I decided to jot down some fashionable yet affordable ideas. Here's my last minute xmas gifts list.

1).Leggings and/or stylish patterned tights
These two accessories are a hot commodity this season! They come in a variety of colors/designs and look great with dresses, fierce shoes, shirt dresses etc. So you can't go wrong with purchasing a girlfriend(s) either one or both. Best part is, you can buy them just about anywhere and under $50. Forever21 sells the tights for under $10 and leggings for under $20.


2).Scarves, shawls, and snoods
Since it's winter what better gift to give than a scarf, nice shawl, or a snood. All three are winter necessities that any woman can use.
(a snood)


3). Jewelry
Can't ever go wrong buying a woman some jewelry...

4).Cosmetics or skin care
As women we live by our beauty regime so why not purchase the products the women in your life can't live without.

5). A snuggie
May not be fashion forward but all the rage in keeping you warm and cozy.





Happy Holidays
