Gold Digger

Those are some killer shoes. I love the gold heel detail. OMG! Made by Serendipity. A prom shoe line. However any true fashionista knows no one defines style for them. Style is a personal thing and those shoes make this entire pic. They are the only items I can't seem to take my eyes of off. Spectacular.

Eshe! ( Thank you)


 It's Asakeoge. A Ready To Wear line out of London. These are awesome. I'm not sure if the yellow print maxi is my favorite or just maybe the black mini # . I like them all.

It's obvious maximizing a woman's femininity is the ultimate goal. 
But here's the treat , you can place your order directly from them

mwah!

The yellow maxi print dress is my favorite!!!

Happy Friday.
You can never have too many awesome clothes. 

Louis Vuitton, My Guilty Pleasure

   Emma Watson

When we think festival, we think carefree, sexy and bohemian. Harry Potter actress,Emma Watson applied this style philosophy at the Glastonbury Music Festival held in London today when she chose to rock a Louis Vuitton corset in a questionable weather. For one it was raining and cold.

Blame it on the adrenaline.  It's a music festival.

M.I.A unmasked for GQ

M.I.A

Sometimes, we forget stars are just like us, human beings who've also have their share of obstacles to overcome. Maya, aka. M.I.A. grew up without a father and she had this to say to GQ about the experience , 
“England gave me a free education,” she explains, “but my grades suffered because I didn’t have my dad to help me."
Thankfully all that is behind her now, she is engaged to Benjamin Brewer, heir to the Seagrams fortune and also son of CEO of Warner Music. She is also first time mother to a gorgeous lil' boy , Ikhid Brewer.  Yeah, you are reading it right. Most stars are true artists at heart, so don't expect , "John" as a name for their offspring. You are better off guessing " Apple " as actress Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter.

So what is Maya up to? Why is she making headlines left right and center?  publicity, might be your first guess or the HARD tour might be the second guess.  She's always been a perfect mix of street style matched with undeniable political substance. With that said at any given moment, expect to see M.I.A in the news, Missing In Action so not her style.




and.....  This is my favorite piece from her.

Paging Lee

Ziad Ghanem Couture Wedding Gown
Photo by Ram Shegrill

 London designer, Ziad Ghanem has a design concept  that reminds me of late designer, Alexander " Lee" McQueen designs. They are other-wordly, fierce, echoing  an undeniable underground vibe. No wonder Ziad's been called  the " Cult Couturier". Just heard of this line today and I am already a die-hard follower.

Who would've thunk it ? A wedding gown with edge, not the simple traditional wedding dress, but this. damn! Prince Charming, where art thou? If one existed, this is the dress I will pledge my eternal love to him, in. 

Another super cool stuff about Ziad Ghanem designs is his usage of recycled materials. Very eco-friendly.

Amber Monroe

Amber Rose is one fierce Marilyn. Oh la, la. Just about every female celebrity has a Marilyn Monroe-esque pictorial, but by far, Amber makes the best Monroe. And she has her adequately proportioned hour glass figure to thank for it. YRB Magazine made an intelligent choice in featuring this amazing beauty, Amber Rose, Kanye's lady love and sometimes rumored female lover of Nicki Minaj.

"I don't look at myself as [a celebrity]. I'm just a dope chick from South Philly!”-Amber Rose

RECYCLED Collection


        Alexander McQueen Fall 2009

Last year , when late designer, Alexander McQueen decided to name his Fall 2009 Collection , The Art of Recycling and Throw-Away Habit of the Fashion Industry , magazines , stores were a bit weary the line won't sell. Since, it appeared the designer was mocking the industry which catapulted him to success. 

But, ahem, Alexander McQueen knew what he was doing. Some of the designs were actually made of aluminum cans, trash bags as head pieces. There was poetry and drama in the unveiling of this truly fashionable collection .  Here we are, Spring 2010 and these designs are still on people's lips. Who is the King of The Art of Recycling now? Alexander. The Great Designer. Wow, such genius.

LOVE Cole by Samantha Cole




British designer, Samantha Cole has done it again with her new line aimed at the very Bohemian woman. Known for her high end designs, it is sooooooo refreshing to see LOVE COLE by Samantha Cole. I can see myself in this. This is a very practical line. Aya ya yai! Samantha Cole's name in the fashion industry is becoming synonymous with quality, good taste delivered with precision. Lots of grays and trust me gray is a sexy color.
