Fashion Honey Survival Basics for living in NY

As I watch all of the freshman and new hires march in to their institutions of higher learning or earning, I am so mesmerized by the new hits and staples for this fall. There is an arising of bold lace ala Prada and others. I am not excited because unfortunately my wardrobe will be staying the same this fall. But for all you fashion honeys that are kinda kicking rocks and wondering what cool outfits to wear to work and play this fall... Check out my collection that I concocted on the Polyvore "oh so addictive" website. I love it. It is a play on prep chic, girls just wanna have fun and Parisian chic. Check it out and let me know if you are loving it!!!

These are all of my favorite fashion survival basics that can be mixed and matched for work, fun and play. Enjoy!!!

Fashion Honey is back and Enjoying Polyvore!!!!

I am so sorry!! I believe I have made this speech to my readers around this same time last year. My life has been so busy and I am learning so much about many industries, I haven't had time to take care of my baby!!! Well... guys I just want to say thank you for those who continued to join my readership and trust me. I will stay on top of my game more than ever.

Okay getting back to the Fashion Honey you love!!!! So I was checking out the weather and it reminded me of when I used to get ready to go back to school. This year has been quite unusual when it comes to weather and I am not going to go into the "Go-Green" speech, that's for tommorrow, but the weather has been quite wierd. I thought that we were in the middle of September. Oh well!!! I wanted to show you all a cutesy take on fall and perhaps what you may see me wearing on the streets of Soho in latter September. Check it out and let me know what you think!!! I miss hearing from all of you and I hope that we can reconnect again!

Get Your Color Game Up This Spring with Nordstrom

Hello and Happy Belated Valentines Day to all of my Fashion Honey's!! I hope all of you are enjoyed that wonderful made up day that should be celebrated everyday this year--lol-- Well while I am enjoying this wonderful Sunday, I decided to go shopping-- online!-- I haven't hit up the Nordstrom site in a long time-- so I realized from a posting made a while ago-- It is about that time to start updating my spring wardrobe. Everyday I look out the window and optimistically look forward to spring.

This Spring as I forecasted will be in full bloom, with an African Safari, travels to the Aztec Civilization period-- and hitting up our ubiquitious mod. All of those themes incorporate color and they are all what inspired me to post my favorite accessories to schlep into your wardrobes this spring.

I love these Alexis Bittar Studded hinge Cuff bracelet--bring out the inner punk rocker in you with these bracelets...........$245 each


These Marc Jacobs Pumps are so nautical it almost makes you want to put on your sexiest pair of wide leg denims and a cute top and just hop on a yacht and sail a way (Hey-dreams can come true!)..........$495

The BCBG "NYREE" pump is a sophisticated color pump. With those delicate touches of brown it can easily be worn in the office without being too flashy. ............$97.95


The Via Spiga Passion Pump is very sexy and as all of the colors ripped out of a fruit loops box. I love this pump because it is not too high and it would be cool with a pair of skinny jeans and a Tucan Sam Fruit Loops shirt

Fashion Week to Revive the Economy---Lack of Diversity leads to the thought of Racism in Fashion???

I was inspired by this article and I think it is great wishful thinking. Listen we all know what can revive the economy-- but I plan to keep this blog highly diplomatic-- so for now I am going to stay out of it. One thing that I will not stay out of is the fact that there is a lack of diversity on the fashion runways. Check these links out and get a good read. You may be inspired to picket outside on the Washington Mall. LOL-- J/K

Fashion Week to Save the Dying Economy

Get some color on the runways!!!

A New Fashion Direction for 2008 and more fantasies

Hello ladies and my dear fashionable gents! Happy New Year!! I feel like I have been out of the blogging game for so long. Hmm... What have I missed??... The Giants are going to the Superbowl, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are neck in neck with the Democratic Primaries-- Guiliani and Edwards fell out the race-Louboutins were finally listed on Oprah as one of her faves- Two new Sex in the City spin-offs have launched: Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle.Lastly, America is in a recession--yay! I guess we are now up to date.

I must start off by apologizing to all of the readers that got interested in fashionhoney and actually became a fan of the site. I draw from inspiration and I blog what I view when I travel in the city. Lately, I have been in and out of the the Fashion City so I have missed alot. But have no fear-- I am back and I am here with a fashion vengenance.

For my 2008 Head-to-Toes Fashion Outlook ..

I plan to have my hair and makeup just like Kelly Rowlands..


I would like to adapt more yellow into my wardrobe, just like Solange Knowles ( I wouldn't mind borrowing her Valentino bag as well :))


I would love to travel and go on mini trips so I believe that this Louis Vuitton cruiser bag ($1700) would be sufficient for my coveted items:


and lastly, like my girl Oprah-- I need a pair of some hot Louboutins on my feet-- so why not get a pair that is highly chic, versatile and sexy:


Let me know what your fashion fantasies are--or maybe if you are balling what you already got to set your year on fashion fire-- ttyl!
Check out here what is to come for the Spring Collection and all of the Celebs who are on his shoe jock:

Honey From A Different Hive

Good morning Fashion Honeys! Rise and Shine!!!!-- As you know I am a big fan about whats hot in the t.v world. I just wanted to make sure that you are up on latest as well. When I am so excited about the happenings in the entertainment world I don't mind sharing a little honey with you. Check some of these sites below! Lastly I want to thank all of my readers and for those checking in I truly appreciate it.
P.S. Heidi wore this dress twice-haha

The Hills Star Heidi Montag with out ring??....People

Jessica Alba is preggers!!People

Britney to play Virgin Mary..WTF?....TMZ

Golden Globes Nominations are announced.... OMG

Girls... I am so GREEN with fashion envy

Fashion Honeys... Green is all over the place and is the hottest color for December. Green has been stretched upon the heavenly bodies of Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rhianna and so many other celebs. The red carpet was draped from head to toe with the essence of green and I am so green with envy because I don't own a darn thing with green in it. Even though I have been told that it matches my complexion well. Yesterday I went to Forever 21 seeking the perfect Emerald green dress-- and there was none- oh well.

Check out the hot styles from my girls below:
Beyonce

Iman

Vanessa Williams

Tyra Banks

Jada Pinkett with family

Mary J and Jessica Alba with the same dress on

Kimberly Elise

I STRONGLY dislike Tyra's bangs!!!!

Dear Tyra Banks,

I totally dislike your non banging weave. I don't know what look you were going for--but it's not fair all of us watching your shows-If you thought you looked like an alien before- you are truly confirming your thoughts- this has to stop. I miss when you used to wear your lace font wigs and have them nicely shaped with tousled curls-- now all I get is this hobbled weave and it saddens my heart. Tyra please bring your forehead back-- I promise I won't clown your fivehead anymore.

Love Fashion Honey.

P.S. Please watch the funny out of hell video that I displayed with her weave almost getting blown off below. LOL

Fashion Honey on the scene at the Complex Magazine Party

Hello Fashion Honeys! I went to the Complex Magazine Party about three weeks ago and I forgot to show you the pics-- how vile of me!!! Long overdue-- yet well waited-- Here they are. Check out the pics and commentary below.

The Complex Magazine Party took place at Training Camp on 41st and the Avenue of the Americas in New York City and it was the most popping event I have been to all year. It was sponsored by Honda and they had a theme called "Revelations". Complex Platinum Club and many of the industry's top people were there especially me. Free drinks, Free full body massage, gift bags and hot urban clothing and accessories- you can't go wrong! I got interviewed based on what my revelations were for 2007 and I was very happy to be there. The most fashionable night ever!

People waiting on line:

The wrong way to eat a Reeses

I am suprised to see that Shay Shay-- Ashanti's younger sister is looking a hot mess up in Mars 2112.

#1: Cottage Cheese Thighs have never been in fashion. If you suffer from this severe issue wear flesh colored support hoisery. Beyonce does it all the time.

#2. The girl is only 18! Go figures she needs to put on something less sultry-- This outfit makes her look a haggard 28 years old.

#3. Whatever happened to asking your big sis for some makeup and style tips-- please don't tell me all of the greatest things went to her!


I am in shock and saddened for the Glen Cove teenager. I hope she goes to fashion jail. Because of her age I will send her off on misdemeanor charges in the juvenile fashion penitentary.

Spring 2008: Taste the rainbow: Lines inspired by skittles

I am so happy that New York hasn't truly been hit by the likes of a blizzard or freezing temperatures yet. There has to be actually one day last month where I needed a pair of gloves to keep my digits warm. As I was sitting here thinking about my dream vacation-- which I deserve for next year-- I wondered to myself-- "Self what is the latest styles hitting the stores for this spring?" Self decided to check online and view the ready-to-wear shows. As I got back into first person I decided to see what was hot and what will leave for next year!--

Well I realized that patent leather is here to stay and that we are going to be hit with an Alberta Clipper worth of rainbow colors for 2008. I am excited because the creativity landscape will increase and the usage of different textures will arise. I viewed alot of patchwork arise, crocodile, patent leather and beads. We will not be seeing too much of the Color Purple-- (remember purple was the new black from latter summer to latter fall) The incoming 2008 will set the reign for the color pink in many variations. I love purple but I will definitely be looking forward to that pink. Other colors include powder blue and palm leaf green.

To see a preview of the Spring 2008 Ready-to-wear pieces from the hottest designers check them out below and enjoy them--If we all wish hard enough here in New York winter can be over by the end of February.-- Yeah right in my dreams.
