With less than 19 days left in this historic election, it is a must to get a tee shirt to mark the moment. Yellow Cake designed this commerative tee and sells for $43.50. I know we are in the middle of a recession but you can skip one trip to the nail shop or car wash to purchase this tee. Check out YellowCakeDesigns.com for more info.
Katie Holmes was seen out and about in NYC today (8/5). Katie is in Manhattan starring in a Broadway show (dont know the name, dont care).
When did pegged legs become chic again?? The last time I remember rolling and penning my pants’ legs were in the third grade.
Christina Milian was seen out shopping last week. This is a BBBBIIIIGGGG upgrade from the last time we seen her. I love this look, keep up the food work, Xtina!!

Yes you are seeing correctly–there are NO FREAKING HEELS!!
Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman are all happy owners of these Antonio Beradri 5-and-a-half-inch heel-less heels. These hospital-bound heels are a bit pricey: $2,600 to $3,600!!
Would you wear these?
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has added another notch to her resume. The world’s highest paid model have paired with Dolce & Gabbana to design a “chic and feminine” spring wear called Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana. The former Vicky Secret’s model reported banks $33 million for endorsements and campaigns and is #1 on Forbes’ Top 15Supermodels of the World.
Just like any other plus-size diva, I love to look good. When I look good, I feel good. So with that in mind, I was over on Old Navy’s website, checking out their goodies when I see that they have finally decide to carry plus size clothing (clothing that I can actually wear). My grievance with ON is that my size is available online exclusively (which we know means, heifer, you aint going to find this in any store, so you may as well just click the checkout button and call it a night).
Why must I be tortured like this?!?! All I want are a few things to spruce up my wardrobe.
Well that is enough of my teeny rant, I will post some of the items that I will be getting (as soon as I get paid).
FINALLY, after the fashion faux pas at the VMAs, Lil Mama gets it right (well, sorta) at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
The cologne will be available Sept. 24.
(CBS/The Early Show)Every morning as I am getting dressed for work, I watch The Early Show. Well, this morning Hannah Storm spoke with InStyle Magazine’s Katrina Szich about her impressions from Fashion Week. Here are some of her takes from Fashion Week.
“Designers had been sporty last spring, a little bit pretty.” “This season, they’ve gone back to femininity, to sophistication, to elegance. So everyone’s going to have to get ready to dress up again.”
Gone are shapeless shifts and babydoll dresses. What made headlines at the Spring 2008 shows were the ethereal gowns, belted trousers, and sheer fabrics. Dressing up with a practical-but-perfect ladylike bag is also back.

TRENDS:
The Belted/Cinched Waist
A backlash to the shapeless trapeze dress seems to have materialized in the form of a whittled waistline. Everything is belted, thin, wide and otherwise! This includes suits, jackets, sweaters, high-waisted trousers, and evening gowns. The clear message here: femininity is back … show off those curves!
Tribal Prints
Designers had exotic destinations on the brain and it showed up in graphic, tribal patterns on dresses, skirts and tops. Summer 2007 was about preppy
stripes, but Summer 2008 is headed in a much wilder direction.
White and Bold Colors
Many designers focused on spring cleaning: WHITE — even head-to-toe — was rampant on the runways. But designers also went crazy for crayon colors in large doses — lots of red , turquoise, purple, pink, yellow, orange not just as accents, but as the focal point.
Asymmetrical Necklines
One of the sexiest, most fun trends seen this week has been asymmetrical necklines. Seventies (Michael Kors) and 80’s-inspired (LAMB) asymmetrical necklines showed up on tops, day dresses and eveningwear. This trend seems to have no limit on age or attitude. Designers from Gwen Stefani to Oscar de la Renta re-interpreted this fresh, new neckline.
Long, Flowing Floral Dresses
Designers were still inspired by dresses, but gone were the babydoll and trapeze dresses we’ve been wearing for the past couple seasons. In their place were floor-grazing, flowing floral dresses, for both day and night.
ACCESSORIES: THE “IT” ITEMS
The must-have bag for Spring ‘08 is practical, it’s no longer about a precious piece. But, that doesn’t mean it’s not luxurious. Oscar de la Renta made his practical bag feminine with ruffle details that give it that elusive it-bag quality. Conversely, shoes are all about the “Wow” factor. Whether architecturally sculpted (Marc Jacobs), Birkenstocks with surprising flair (Phillip Lim), an exotic-skin slingback, or a delicate flat, strappy sandal in metallic gold, a double-take shoe is an essential.
sidenote: As soon as I find pics, I will post them. I am still trying to figure out how to pull off the belt, cuz I dont have a small waist…
