I'm Back!!!

So I apologize to all of you who've been reading for not blogging in so long. But life gets hectic sometimes and I had to reorganize the fray. But I'm back and I'll be updating at least once a week just so you can get your fix ;-)

So I must say that I have a second favorite love after H&M and that would have to be the retailer Zara. Zara makes it looks easy to look like a million bucks without the hefty price tag. Take for instance this past weekend, I bought an amazing suit and a great leather satchel that I've had my eye on for a while all for under $200!!! That's insane! The suit is perfectly slim cut and fits to a T! There's minimal alterations needed.


The suit is going to be perfect for a fabulous wedding I'm attending in New York in 2 weeks. I have a lot of people to impress and nothing to do it better in than a well cut garment.

Anyways that's enough for now, I'll be sure to update you soon!


Ciao!

I Do Not Support This LV

Don't get me wrong I looovvveeee Louis Vuitton and I love what Marc Jacobs has done with the collection thus far....BUT...I do not agree with him letting the egomaniac Kanye West design a line of shoes, sneakers no less!

What gives Kanye the credentials to design a line in conjunction with one of the most recognizable and respected fashion houses? To add insult the sneakers range from $800-$1000 a pair!

Would you pay that kind of $$$ for these?


I wouldn't but it seems that some people don't feel the same, they have already sold out and they haven't even hit shelves yet.

Louis next time you're in need of new creative input I am always available.

Anna Wintour's tale: Vogue editor to appear in 'real-life Devil Wears Prada'

The September Issue focuses on Anna Wintour - inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada and 'most important woman in fashion'

For all of you who thought that The Devil Wears Prada was a documentary brushed with a thin patina of drama to disguise the fact that it was an exposé of American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, along comes the real thing. Wintour, the legendarily reticent editor who almost never talks to the press, has cast aside her innate media shyness – as she would an Yves St Laurent cerulean military jacket from 2003 – and agreed to appear in a documentary about herself. Called The September Issue, the documentary hits UK cinemas on 11 September and this trailer makes it all look rather jolly fun. Except for the moment where the Vogue underling breaks the news to La Wintour that the photographer didn't shoot the coliseum dress. Cue reaction from Wintour. If looks could kill ...

It's Almost Here!!!


In just a couple of months, H&M will finally be opening its doors in the state of Florida!

I've only been waiting for this for years now, it's kind of an unhealthy (for my wallet). H&M will truly shift the balance in retail when it opens because it will force all the other clothing retailers to raise the bar on quality and lower prices and it may even scare companies like Forever 21 away. Oh well!

This will be the very first store H&M will be opening in Florida and I hear from an inside source that H&M will begin "aggressively opening stores in Florida, especially South Florida." That is music to my ears. Every time I visit Atlanta, Chicago, or New York the first store I go to is always H&M. You can find the chicest apparel at very low prices, which goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to look amazing.

Hollywood Will Never Be The Same



Yesterday we heard the unfortunate news of the passing of Farrah Fawcett and then a few hours later the world was shocked by the passing of the legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson.

I was literally at a lost for words yesterday because Farrah I thought would eventually through and beat this cancer thing, she was a Charlie's Angel! But she was really an angel right here on earth and she has definitely enriched all of our lives with her onscreen presence.

Then, we hear the news that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital because of cardiac arrest. Again, I thought with all that Michael has been through he could overcome this. But then reports of whether the CPR performed on him was successful or not started to get a little vague, that's when I knew the worst had happened. No matter what people think of him as a person, you CANNOT deny his power as an artist. Yes there were a lot of reports and allegations against him, but the lawyer in me stands by the fact that he was never proven guilty of anything. We have truly lost the most influential music legend in our time and my thoughts go out to his family.

R.I.P. Farrah and Michael

Materialistic Mondays: Dolce & Gabbana Spring at Milan Fashion Week


What. A. Collection. I'm at a lost for words! I'll let Men.Style.Com speak for me.....

"Sparkling." How else was Stefano Gabbana going to describe his mood after a show that put on the glitz to a degree so OTT it bordered on the satirical? It had all the skin and shimmer, flesh and flash of a Vegas review—except it was men rather than showgirls up there on that stage. The peach in the fruit bowl was Jesus Luz, who emerged in a black silk tux shirt—and matching bathing suit. Given his designation as Madonna's innamorato, he looked appropriately insecure. The label's resident male, David Gandy, appeared anything but as he redefined twenty-first-century beefcake in a pair of severely truncated white trunks.



Domenico and Stefano recently mentioned that the Sicilian pinstripes-and-black suit signature can become a little oppressive for them. So they sensibly honored their heritage with a handful of sober classics, then cut loose with extravagant flights of gilded fancy, strewing crystals with fierce abandon all over jackets, jeans, and accessories. Anyone seeking some kind of fashion statement from the duo might take note of the chunky yet summer-weight knitwear, or the artful perforation of skins, or maybe even the resuscitation of the borsellino, known vernacularly—and mockingly—as the "murse." Otherwise, Dolce & Gabbana went hell-bent for glam, mixing day and night into a seamless 24 hours—and sending out a finale that was a nonpareil hymn to the beader's craft.




Very Healthy!

The Rach is Back!


Let the countdown begin: "The Rachel Zoe Project" returns to Bravo on Aug. 25.

So bananas!

Unfortunately, there were no other details about the second season in Entertainment Weekly, which reported the premiere date in its latest issue, featuring a photo spread of Zoe's must-haves.

Personally, we're looking forward to seeing Taylor vs. Brad Part 2. Because you just know that business hasn't been resolved.
