Is the Tall Tee Really Dead?!?!

See I would like to think it is..I mean if it's not in your actual size fellas.
Big things on little people make you even smaller.
If you're shorter than 5'9" it's time to shop in your correct size.
So with that being said..the tall tee is dead for short people @ least...
And dudes who wear EXTREMELY tight shirts..Baby Gap wants them back!!!

RED LipSSSSSS ARE Zexyyyyy!!

I have been doing makeup for fashion shows and music videos for the past few months. My favorite thing to do on someone is the red lip. It's perfect for adding a hit of drama to any outfit. Here are a few tips:

*First make sure that you have a red lipstick that matches your skin's undertone..all reds are not created equal.
*Secure a lip brush and if possible a good lip conditioner..if not go for an oldie but goodie VASELINE!!
* Be sure to line your lips with a red or red tone liner and color in just a little bit.
* Start from the center and work your way out with the lipbrush &lipstick.
* Apply gloss for that extra POP!!

BET AWARD PRE-STYLE

I have a few clients going to the BET Awards this weekend; so I decided to give you guys some tips just in case you are in the building!!!
First off demure is def not the word for this season's award show. The main focus is color, extreme shoes, and (my personal favorite) the 80s. I am encouraging my clients to pursue award appropriate attire but at the same time give your look a little spice. If choose a classic silhouette, then make sure to go anywhere BUT the areas of black and grey!! I want to encourage my rock stars to embrace all hues of purple or shocking pinks and my dolls to go for bright blues or electric yellows. For my fellas, I would love to see you guys in Dee and Ricky Lego Accessories. Guys have the problem of blending in, so try a fly jacket, shoe, or random accessory! Here is some photographic evidence of what Lush Lady finds appealing.

Eve Finally Cancels Clothing Line Concept!!

After years of being in an off and on relationship with her clothing line; Eve has finally decided to give it a rest! I think this sucks because I actually liked some of the Fetish line, and believe it had great potential. In particular, there were some very good purse designs. Sooo what's next for the star..Well she is going to focus more on her music and acting. Can't knock the hustle right?!?!?!

Tonight's Real Housewives of Atlanta

Ok so I watched the show tonight, and don't like Kim. I know NeNe is not perfect but Kim is a classic opportunist. This bish knew all along she was supposed to that song with NeNe, and when she saw she sounded worth a crap well... She did what any fake bish would do!! Bye NeNe..I'm a star!! LOL! NeNe could have handled the initial confrontation better but hey it could have been worse. I'm still feeling out Lisa because she can come off kind of fake. Other than that she seem cool. Sheree has definitely calmed down this season. She is a lot more humble. Lastly Kandi probably won't make it to next season! She is toooo nice, and just like Deshawn she's gotta go. I hate its like that but homegirl's story line isn't that interesting for reality tv. If you notice we are seeing less and less of her scenes. Luvs the show...watch it every Thursday 9pm central time. If you're "tardy for the party" just DVR it or catch the replay right after the premiere.

Rain..Rain..Go AWay!!

What's up Dolls....

Juicy Couture, Neiman Marcus.com

 Coach Rain Boot, coach.com

Lacoste Rain Boots, zappos.com

It has been raining like cats and dogs this past week or so. So I found it fitting to mention RainBoots....in my blog today. They are really cute and I suppose help you manage the weather. This is a fun shoe and I do not believe this should be worn in a professional setting. I'm on a college campus everyday, so I see these shoes a lot. There are high,medium, and even low versions. When I went shopping, I did see a very cute pair made by Lacoste and they were reasonably priced. Juicy Couture makes a more expensive yet stylish version. another style that I love is the Coach style. However, be careful because this can be a cliche' due to the fact that everyone buys this brand.  I would pair them with a skinnier jean because a bulky jean can look sloppy. So I encourage you to join in on the rain-boot trend because there are so many styles; you are bound to find something that suits you.

Gossip Girl Fashion

Okay sooo who watches "Gossip Girl"? Well maybe you should start especially if you enjoy fashion. These girls are ones to watch when it comes to new styles and incorporating quirky styles.

I love how Leighton Meester looks totally different from the character she plays on the show. If you check her out in regular photos, she dresses real rockstar chic. Blair, the character she plays, is very prim and proper. In college she is having to adjust to change and either own who she is or try out a new style. I personally would like to see her embrace a certain era of fashion. For instance maybe the seventies would provide a dramatic backdrop for her style.

WTF?? is wrong with her??? I love whoever dresses her for the show...but umm who is this chick's stylist is REAL life!!! Taylor is doing the most with this new punk rocker chic look. Ladies you can still do this and remain polished!!

Don't you just loveeeeee an insanely large purse!

Kooba Laced Front Leather Hobo

I'm a stickler for larger purses. They carry a lot and add that drama that I love within my wardrobe. I enjoy purses that have braided detail, studs, and maybe funky colors. I believe it is key to get a very good material because for the average female purses are carried daily. You want to have something that will withstand your mayhem! Feel like material and make sure it is strong and resilient. Also try to take a look at the fall of the bag. When I say the fall, I mean the way it hangs on your shoulder. Pay attention to this when you are wearing a coat and a light t-shirt. You don't want anything uncomfortable on your shoulder all day. I like a lot of inside pockets to hold my randomness, and secure closers so my items are safe. Ladies just be aware a good purse is the key to a good day since we spend 99% of the time looking for our keys in them!

Key Investments for the Fall/Winter

Spiegal Platform Booties

Marc Fisher Keyon boots

 Christian Louboutin Peep Toe Bootie

Okay as you all know the cold months are approaching and I want to highlight some of my key essentials.  First you guys are going to need at least two signature coats. One classic trench or peacoat that dresses up any outfit. The thing that I like about coats is that they add character to an outfit. In the summer your outfit is forced to fend for itself. Trenches can look good with a wide leg pant and a dressy shirt. This is something I would definitely wear to a meeting or to an art gallery. The peacoat is still dressy but is kind near the dress down side. You can pair a peacoat with knee high boats without appearing too overdone.
Another essential would be boots of course!! They come in all shapes,forms , and fashions. You can go totally classic or really rock star and still be in trend. My favorites are the the fierce colored booties and the flat knee high boots. I would probably go in the direction of Jessica Simpson since she is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn!
Scarves are still key so grab them in any color, texture, or size. This only adds to the ensemble as layering is key for this season. Layering is going to play a part in my next essential which is the relaxed cardigan. I called it this because they have no buttons and fit loose around the body. These are good for those relaxed days and even the more casual days.

Hautelanta Fashion Week

Ok so I'm doing my fashion duties at Hautelanta Fashion Week, and as I promised I've got updates. It started off a little slow, but I do believe that was due to the rain last night. Backstage is super busy of full of great talent.  I really enjoyed the finale and the very beginning. To all my up and coming industry friends, its a great place to show off your skills. They let you put promo material in the gift bags. The venue was very lush and I loved it.There was also some choreographed entetainment that was haute!! The actual show was great and people should check out the rest. My BB was o the fritz sooo no interviews but I'm ready 2night though!!! Check out the pics...will be back 2morrow with more updates.
