There was a time in the early to mid 90’s when overalls made a huge splash in mainstream fashion (which, I will say, was directly inspired by a style worn by popular hip-hop artists of time. Isn’t it funny how hip-hop always dictates what we wear? I mean, every boy used to sag his pants… some, unfortunately, still do. They certainly didn’t come up with that style themselves!)
Anyway, I had a pair of overalls back then. They were from The Gap. And they were awesome.
If overalls decided to make their triumphant return… I would totally wear them. For realz! I would be in the front of the line at my local Zara buying the cutest pair of dark wash, “professionally” worn, slightly baggy overalls. Even though overalls are admittedly ugly and don’t exact highlight my feminine physique they are still wonderful.
Do you have an overalls story? Would you ever wear overalls if they came back in fashion?

How about a 2010 maintenant post?
at the present I am…
wearing: Black H&M jeggings, a grey tee shirt from Strawberry and Kate Spade slippers
listening: To Zac Brown Band sing “Chicken Fried”… Yehaw, Ya’ll!
reading: The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million
watching: 500 Days of Summer… oh, and the Super Bowl later
doing: A happy dance. A new, and SUPER cute market opened up right around the corner!
loving: All of the completely unhealthy food I made for the Super Bowl
hating: The sound of people crunching chips! Yeesh!
wishing: For an entourage. Seriously, how cool would that be?
wanting: To be a billionaire… so I can pay off my school loans with one paycheck. Sa-weeet!

New York… and I don’t mean the magazine
New York has a certain magic for fashionistas. Perhaps it is the endless avenues of cute and fashion-forward stores; perhaps it is the ample supply of well-dressed, flawlessly manicured women walking the streets who serve as real-life fashion inspiration; perhaps it is the fact that the best Fashion Week in the world is held right here in this gorgeous city.
Hey, maybe it’s just the succulent smelling street carts beckoning you to try one of the city’s delicious hot dogs.
Whatever it is, New York City serves as a makeshift Mecca for fashion lovers. So tell me, lovelies…
What do you love about New York City?

I am incredibly inspired by Keri Hilson’s Grammy look.
Her flawless skin adorned with sultry, flirty makeup;
a touch of festive, purple eye makeup
that would leave any warm-weather-loving girl longing for Spring.
A beautiful, figure hugging dress that is eye catching
but still leaves plenty to the imagination.
And ah, that hair! A flawless pixie cut with a simple flip ties it all together.
Now, that’s how you do a red carpet, ladies!

Here are my favorite looks from the Grammy’s last night. Ya’ll ready? Here we go!
Seriously though, what isn’t there to love about Lady Gaga? She is completely out of her mind, totally awesome and talented to boot! I love her, and I love these crazy creations she comes up with. Keep them coming, Gaga!
Okay, I’ll say it. Taylor Swift can’t sing and her performance last night with Stevie Nicks was beyond awkward. HOWEVER, she’s the closest thing young girls have to a role model in Hollywood these days and just look at her! She is so cute and gorgeous and this dress is so perfect for her: sexy and sweet and mysterious and glowing. Oh, and for the record… Taylor you really are a great song writer, just leave the singing to someone else, dahlin!
Katy Perry looked delightful last night! This dress hugged her curves perfectly and it is such a great color on her, too. The nude was sexy but didn’t wash her out… perfection. I love the gold accents and the deep cut-out in the back was heart stopping!
Lea Michele is rapidly proving that she can do no wrong on the red carpet. This dress was perfect for last night because it was subtle enough to keep the attention on the nominees, but gorgeous and flattering enough to ensure that deep-down, all eyes were on her. Because let’s be real, SHE should have been up there winning those awards with that amazing voice of hers.
Who did you love at the 2010 Grammy’s?

There seems to be a rapid movement towards the more casual bride. A movement away from huge, intricate wedding gowns to simpler, more flowy, even shorter dresses. Well I must say that I am extremely happy that women are no longer wearing huge, frilly, big shouldered, cupcake dresses…. but I still haven’t decided how I feel about short wedding dresses.
On one hand, I think a bride should wear whatever makes her feel happy and beautiful on her big day. On the other hand, I can’t help but think that on one of happiest days of your life, why not wear a long gown that will make you feel like a princess?
So what do you think? Would you ever wear a short wedding gown?

Fashionistas love sushi. Okay, that was a blatant generalization. But I am gonna go with it.
Wanna know why fashionistas (aka why I) LOVE sushi? Here is my bulleted list:
♥ Sushi comes with accessories… aka wasabi, ginger and soy sauce
♥ Sushi is single-handedly teaching fashionistas that is it okay to have “rolls”
♥ Sushi is small, compact and comes in its own container… that you can easily fit into this season’s oversized purse.
♥ Sushi is moderately healthy. Unless you’re me and you insist on only eating shrimp tempura rolls.
♥ Sushi often comes with ingredients that are known to enhance the luster of your skin, hair and nails. Eat sushi… get an instant makeover!
♥ Sushi is haute couture… aka really expensive.
♥ Sushi preserves the dwindling crab population by using imitation crap meat. Just like I preserve my dwindling bank account by carrying imitation hand bags!! (totally kidding…)
♥ Sushi is always wearing something new (because using yesterday’s fish is pretty gross).
♥ Sushi has to balance on chopsticks… just like fashionistas have to balance on heels.
♥ Sushi makes me happy and content… just like window shopping and fashion blog reading.
Why do you love sushi?

Hermès is really doing WONDERFUL things with their 2010 ad campaign. The images of model Karlie Kloss were shot by Paolo Roversi.
These are two of my favorite images from the campaign.
How beautiful! I love how editorials are becoming more fresh and h a p p y ! !
I dunno about you, but I was getting tired of those tragic-looking models gazing at me resentfully through the pages of my glossies!
See the whole spread here

The perfect winter coat and hat helps you stay warm and feel feminine.
A cowl neck and tousled hair is super chic and ultra warm!
Experiment with neutral makeup this winter. For a dramatic effect, play up the eyes or go for a red lip!
high-waisted, girly skirts and thick, warm stockings are a go-to look this winter
Boots of all shapes and sizes are so in an so practical for the cold months ahead!
