We’ve been eyeing the First Lady’s fashions even before she became the First Lady and the one name we kept hearing over and over again was Maria Pinto. The Chicago-based designer has been dressing Michelle Obama long before the nation took notice, and it’s easy to see why Pinto’s designs are a favorite of Mrs. O – they’re figure flattering, fashion-forward and classically... 

Look at what Beyonce started. First, she sang about a Freakum Dress; now someone went and designed one. Designer Brian Lichtenberg (Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, Ciara and Bey are all fans) is the man behind the dress which is equal parts ‘freakum’ and ‘freaky’. A nude colored sheer mesh bodice is covered with contrast black jersey cutouts (that give the weird effect of Mickey Mouse... 

So we’ve been waiting all year for She by Sheree and the line finally debuted during New York Fashion Week. Sooo, the looks aren’t necesarily ‘wow’-worthy but, well…they are wearable. Both Sheree’s line and Lisa Wu-Hartwell’s ‘Closet Freak’ line have that sort of slightly upscale bebe vibe – they’re full of cutesy contemporary separates...

Toni Francesc‘s water-inspired show was a delight to the visual and audio senses. The Catalan designer’s Spring-Summer 2010 collection titled “Water’s Mood” paid homage to water in all its forms. A video installation with moving images of water – waves, currents and water drops – got us in the mood to be wowed. And that, along with the sounds of dripping water mixed...

I’ll start by saying that I love all things reusable. I loathe extra waste and packaging and I was really excited when I got the chance to try really pretty, reusable travel bags called Glambags. Now, I’m not a huge traveler, but these bags are good for so much more! I started off by filling a Glambag with my cosmetics and toting it around in place of my normal cosmetics pouch in my handbag....

It’s no secret that I adore Rihanna’s style. I cover her looks almost daily, dissecting everything from her fierce shades, shoes and handbags, to her clothes and jewelry and even her beauty products! So when I learned that I had the opportunity to snag one of her looks for less, I jumped at the chance. I’m talking about the Christopher Kane for Topshop collection. In stores and online... 

There’s a bevy of energy drinks and coffee to help keep you alert during Fashion Week but if you want to celebrate it and wind down, use the help of Chambord® Black Raspberry Liqueur, the official liqueur of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Inside the tents I sampled a few Chambord cocktails and they were the perfect blend of smooth and sweet with just a bit of kick! If you couldn’t make it... 

Being a nail polish fanatic, I have to say I was very excited to see the OPI brand of nail lacquers come out with OPI MATTE shades. How exciting is that? So being a product junkie I went and got all the shades. From the array of colors I got, my favorite had to be the Russian Navy! If the color is too dull for you, just paint a thin coat of clear just on the tips to give a bit of vibrancy.  Read More →
