Maybe Bangs are not for everyone


Lately, I know many of you have seen the new bang style that has spread faster than polio in 1941. Many celebs like Mya, Alicia Keys, Naomi Campbell and Nelly Furtado have been seen out with the mod heavy bang and now here spotted leaving Bergdorfs is Beyonce, sporting the crazed do. I donot like it on her. I think Beyonce is swagger jacking and this is just one style that she needs to leave alone. Lucky Beyonce- she left Bergdorfs with at least 15 bags--lol

Time for change!! Eve Please fade to black!!!!


I am so through with black women that wear blonde that not only is too high pitched for their complexions, but Black women that wear blonde in the latter days of fall. I feel like the blonde hair is such a clash with the fall season. Many of our favorite black celebs have faded to black, examples are Ciara, Jennifer Lopez, Ashanti, Alicia Keys was always black, Kelly and Kelis. The list can go on. Now Eve needs to go a decent chocolate brown, something more natural that will nopt compromise or dullen her beauty, but something that accentuates the natural black beauty that she has. Now if Beyonce and Mary J. Blige can jump shift maybe we can finally banish this blonde is great mentality--

Beyonce at the American Music Awards

I believe that Beyonce bombed on her arrival outfit-- the turquoise blue dress, the length of the slit, the chunky over glam shoes, her hair and the excess makeup were too over bearing and at the same time downgraded her beauty. Please view the pics below and tell me what you think...



In the last pic she almost seemed uncomfortable.. Now the outfit she performed in should have been her red carpet outfit. I think I would've appreciated the performance more if she was wearing a more down to earth outfit-- even I was more upset because she was dark brown for a couple of days and ran screaming back to the blonde. Oh well--let me leave you with a last gorgeous pic of Beyonce.

Will Smith on Oprah!!!



A fellow Libra Will Smith, was on Oprah today promoting the Pursuit of Happyness and his son Jaden. This movie is the truth!! From seeing the trailer on Oprah, this shows the struggle that people have to go through-- death to unpaid internships--LOL-- I truly believe that unpaid internships are modern day slavery--lol.Well Will Smith also brings daughter Willa to the show and she not only is a spitting image of Will with Jada's eyes but she also has her eyes on the prize and wants to become an actress like her father and mother- View the pics to the left of Will and his son Jaden.

Hey you Goody two-shoes!!!





Yes, my favorite item of the year is here!!! Yes patent leather flats from Delias. Although I know ladies, its about that time to pull on your Coach rainboots, Uggs or Marc Jacob moonboots; These flats are awesome and show your playful side. These shoes are $24 and run from sizes 6-10.

Why do your slacks slack???

I happened to be walking home from work, when I coincedentally saw a strikingly tall woman who could pass as a runway model, well maybe she was a runway model-- you know how Soho, NY is. Well one thing I noticed was that she had a very expensive coat-- that was gorgeous, but when you look down at her pants-- ugh!! They were hi-waters- - hi water slacks are tacky and not to mention not exactly fashionably correct considering that we in the fashion society have come to terms that crop pants are cool. So in this post, I decided to show how women can get a nice pair of slacks whether you are tall and short-- well lets get started.

First, in order to rememdy the tall girl in soho-- I would dash her a pair of these pants


for starters-- now see these pants are a triple threat for whatever you are looking for. First they are long-(so say goodbye to hi-waters) I love the look when you have boots, or stiletto pointy heels and all you see is the cone-point of the shoe. Secondly, if you have a small butt, this pant gives the illusion of a big butt because of its high waist. Lastly, for women with lower abdominal issues-- these pants act like a slight garter.

Now ladies who are much shorter (i.e. 5'5-below) should try these pants on for size.

These pants are sexier for shorter women because they give an illusion of longer legs. Wearing them just like the way the model is in the picture--sans boot, is best because having foot cleavage is makes your legs look longer. These pants also give you the illusion of an hour glass figure--so if you already have the hour glass--you have nothing to worry about.

1)Alvin Valley Narrow Pant $253

2)Alvin Valley Grace Pant $253

These pants can be found at www.shopbop.com

What I want now: UGG® Australia Ultimate Short Boot


I love Ugg boots, but nothing makes you hate a shoe when your feet get wet in inclement weather. Well the first generation Ugg boot had a sole so soft, you can feel pebbles under your feet when yu walk, they also make your feet look really "doofy" and pretty "ugg-ly" if you know what I mean. Now this Ugg boot can make your feet look decent, due to the darker contrast of the lug sole and at the same time keep your feet dryer and more protected than its first generation. They are very stylish and you donot have to commit to the skinny jean rule with them. Pair them with your sevens or citizens from last year ladies-- I hope you will enjoy this shoe this upcoming winter season.

This Ugg boot can be found on www.nordstroms.com and are going for $159. They come in three colors Black, Chestnut and Sand. If you act now, on nordstrom's website-- you get free shipping.-- Smooches

I want to wear: A baby doll dress!

Ladies, I know there are alot of trends that have been out there that you may have wanted to try but are afraid to put it on. Well today I decided to start what is called-- "I Want to Wear" It is supposed to attack these trends and make it a sophisticated and easy piece to wear-- whatever age you are. Today we will try the babydoll dress. The babydoll dress can knock off years if worn with stocking and patent leather round toe pumps or can hide a pregnancy bump. It can also make you look like your expecting. Soooo I, fashion honey decided that I will turn this dress into something that can be worn to look your cutest.

Ok Instead of wearing it in pink for starters why dont we try a fall color like grey or navy blue.



Why dont we throw a nice pair of slim fit jeans-- skinny is so passe' (lol)

From there why dont we add a nice belt with substance to the waist line-- so that way if you are not preggers-- you will not offend yourself. Besides everyone should know that adding a belt to your waistline that is dark-- cinches and takes off inches to your waist line.



Now you know the shoe game has to be tight, so for those that are tall it is sexier to wear tall boots and for women that are shorter its sexier to wear the ankle boots that are hot for this season. *** But, if you are shorter than 5'4 and wear a size 8 or more in the ankle boot-- please wear at your own discretion. They can end up looking like banana shoes.***


No out fit is great this fall with out a nice jacket to layer on top of the entire piece.



What lady is complete with out her hand bag and jewelery. Here I have the new Fendi bag (Canvas Bag du jour) and a Kenneth Cole handbag for people who fall into either price point.



Here is the jewelery as promised...




The babydoll dress can be found on www.urbanoutfitters.com. Along with the belt the beautiful model was wearing. The boots and necklace can also be found on that site too- happy shopping! Dont worry, its just fashion honey!!

I am crazy about : Hello Kitty !!


Hey Ladies and Gents-- I love Hello Kitty and now not only Kimora Lee Simmons holds the license on this adorable feline, but Bath and Body works has opened an exclusive Hello Kitty line that is complete with an Austrian Pave' mirror going for $65.00, a charm bracelet for $35.00, a cute beaded face evening bag for $25.00 and aons of other collectibles suituble for your makeup case. This bag is hip for fashionistas at every age and is now available on www.bathandbodyworks.com.

Shoe of the week


Shoes, shoes, shoes-- what woman can say that they have enough shoes. Well if you do-- not only do you lie but all of your heels are worn to smidgens--lol. Anyways-- I was browsing through through the Neiman Marcus website and came upon this shoe from the Moschino cheap and chic collection. This shoe goes well with a dark pair of Antik Denim jeans and does very well with the flowy lacy shirts that are out this season. This jeweled pump goes for $515.00 and has a 3 3/4 heel. Wear it for a night out on town, a dinner date or just with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I know the price is steep--but hey-- you have to have one expensive item in your closet.--www.neimanmarcus.com.
