Fashion First-->> The Handbag

Yes, we are at the dawn of the fall season and for most women, myself included, we need a new handbag! Along for looking for a winter coat I am on the hunt for a lush purple handbag. One that is big but not too bulky as to cause anger on a crowded subway.
In this vid the Today Show gives you some great tips all under $100.

Baller On A Budget

I'm all into to the one-piece jumper but have found them hard to come by. Thanks to the Frugal Fashionista, I was sent running to Forever21 for their super-cute addition. Only problem, I want it in Silver...and not missing a button. The saga continues in Soho tomorrow;-)

Grown Man On-->> Chromeo

Chromeo rocked my world last night at Teddy's in Hollywood. Instead of them doing there music, we were treated to an all 90's set. Off the meter kind of fun. In trying to educate myself on this duo from New york/Montreal, they just happened to be featured on Myspace's The Fit! Here you go fellas, some hot tips from some hot guys.

Fashion First

So I have blogged about the Backless Bra from Maidenform. I was reading a Jet Magazine (may 12) and read that the inventor, , is a black woman. I love it.
Here is how the bra works and please, do your fashionista duties and buy this bra....you know you like wearing those tittie-tops from Forever21!

Grown Man On-->> Suits

Today I am moving from the bay to L.A. I will be traveling all day but I got a request for some mens fashions. I know nothing bout this but am curious as I hope to someday shop for a man that I have been dating longer than a month and who appreciates a woman who would even take the time.
This is the first entry; I thought it fitting to kick off the week with Suit Buying 101.
Alright, I have got to get some sleep and get on the road early and come up with a tag and label for this blog segment...perhaps the gentleman making the request has a suggestion as well;-)
Enjoy.

The Frugal-Fashionista has put together yet another super-cute look for cheap.

One of my favorite sites, The Frugal Fashionista has featured one of my favorite Celebs in a hot look for less.

I am so still on the skinny jean for day or night. Maybe it's because I am tall but the style works with knee-high boots, ballet flats and of course stilettos. Here is Mrs. Paltrow does it up real nice and casual.

Top 5 Springs Trends

Backless Bra

Have you seen this? Maidenform is about to release the first ever Breakthrough Backless Bra. I am always trying to leave the house half-naked but it can look tacky without the proper under garment and wearing a blouse with the back out adds a sexiness they never see coming; and is a memorable sight once you've left the scene.
Of course designers have already prepared their own versions starting from $29.95.
Summer is gonna rock!

Spring Looks

I found this electric behind the scenes video look of New York Fashion week at Style.com. I am moving to NY this Summer and am just goo-goo gaga over all things NYC.
I will be posting my favorite springtime looks shortly.
