May 22, I immediately made the necessary arrangements to clear that date. She was doing a meet and greet to promote her retailer friendly Spring 2010 line <i>RACHEL Rachel Ro</i>y at Macy's. Me and Tierra waited in line for not too long and got a chance to speak to the lovely spirited, sweet, and gorgeous designer. She sparked conversation about my ethnicity and where I was from and I discovered that she went to school in the DMV area at Columbian Union College. She also told me that she liked my shorts and when a fashion designer compliments you on your clothing, you know your doing something right! She told Tierra that she had to work her way up the latter from interning at <i>Rocawear</i> (where she met her then husband Damon Dash) from the mailroom to being the head of their women's department. Now she's her own household brand, and happens to be one of those most successful and inspirational women in fashion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Roy, 31 , is making a huge footprint in the industry, and after yesterday, she has managed to climb her way higher on to my list of top 10 designers. Celebrities such as <i>Iman</i>, <i>Penepole Cruz</i>, <i>Tyra Banks</i>, and <i>FLOTUS Michelle Obama</i> have all sported Roy's designs. Her 2010 spring line was full of tribal influenced and festive prints, infused with tie dye and watercolors that included dresses, shorts, blouses, cardigans, etc. Her clothes were very much my style, as I am a huge fan of clothes that are structured, tailored, but that also have a good print. After we met her, me and Tierra picked out our fave items and tried them on in the fitting room. They are made well to comfortably fit many body types from the size 2s to the size 10s and are affordably priced.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here were some must-haves that me and Tierra tried on from the <b><a href="http://www.rachelroy.com/Rachel-Rachel-Roy/110004701,default,sc.html">RACHEL Rachel Roy </a></b>line (click on the links to be directed to the shopping website):</div><img style="display:block;

With that, you will have a nine and a half minute Thelma & Louise themed, fashion blunder that is the video for Lady <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Gaga's</span> new single "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVBsypHzF3U"><b>Telephone</b></a>".

Fashion influences from iconic figures such as Madonna and Betty Page, just to name a few, appear throughout the video. After watching, it was pretty clear to me that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">GaGa</span> was attempting to revolutionize the market of pop fashion. However, many artists were taking this on a while back, and they did it masterfully. Madonna and Michael Jackson, who have reached icon status and have a wall of fame inductions to prove it, have set trends that no other artist after them can claim. They did and wore things that people never could quite comprehend in their time, and now its all being replicated by this generation of pop stars. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP7ND2izIS4G-wDsl5mBCyaVO-jHS8sNY7-FR4kPgzKxkvMPzYxTPbVgLLhvs8SGrA4IU-OsNU_PkmZIlAPK_Xmx71T4MeDtdsKTcNPZkD8m7sTRjkHbNNwDefwFKke6JyDqljeZ6Vcvvr/s400/38_st_peppers.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453023651772524834" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Beyonce</span> in her Betty Page bangs.

Gaga is known for donning outfits that would shy away any McQueen piece, but not in a flattering way and that is my major issue with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">GaGa</span>. I believe she used fashion as a marketing vehicle more so than as an expression. Granted all artists have a certain image to uphold, and what they wear can make or break them in the biz, but the level at which she takes it makes a mockery of the artistic value of those pieces. And regardless of how many people say she is unique and refreshing, there is nothing that she has done that has surprised me in a positive way. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmq_YvRUFlpw2hVE323Bk4QYqHJ5l1pD0ly1vjmhi_bmDIM-9Alg2tc9-idFn4CW46jKEfA-3fx9eM8DPzUrJQiUDH4vTkX2wwhRYt91VGfATi73kgv67gur6bZ-FeV0zYJUD1H_sP1jCI/s400/lady-gaga-mtv-vma-awards.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453022755837305058" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Lady Gaga in a Jean Paul </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Gauliter</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> frock from his </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">RTW</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Fall/Winter 09 collection at the 2009 MTV </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">VMAs</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.

From there, he found his high RTW avant-garde fashion line to his retailer friendly McQ collections, and also contributing to the Puma sports brand. McQueen easily became one of the most revolutionary and creatively bold designers in the biz. </div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">McQueen definitely qualifies to be in my top ten. Some may not grasp the idea and purpose of couture that probably wouldn't be seen worn outside a tent. The way I see it, is that those are pieces of art, models are canvases, and the show is a museum with fashion hoarders ready to buy and sell. His creations were nothing short of masterpieces floating on a runaway. He contained a rare skill for dressing the boldly unconventional, yet sophisticated woman. The skull printed chiffon scarf , which has been worn by plenty of celebs, was one of his signature accessory pieces that were one of my personal favorites. Though McQueen's clothes were known for being somewhat roughly edgy and daring, there was an air of elegance shown through the construction of his gowns and dresses with draping and trains. He understood a simple, but intricately structured silhouette and also knew how to use attention grabbing prints and motifs. His clothes were almost a contradiction, and if you can marry two opposite components to birth something beautiful, you have created something that could be also considered genius. And McQueen was just that- a fashion genius.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvwP2HJdU9etgMSHtS82H8uxRniNH-F0FQRr2jtuNp7VXmqspWw5eFDhHVyn-xX0qmyZWzD8fsImXLfyQ17_dNUNHmJDvduRGLW5wvxarrd1YGsaPUEaMk5OZ3Cuyv3U2maQiq7zI_Ep5i/s400/Kim+Kardashian+Report+Mercer+boots+black.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448986537221160834" /><div style="text-align: center;">K<i><b>im Kardashian</b></i> in a skull printed McQueen scarf.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiq6B15k15GJ4dFsK-7_0EVVKsVONWK02BqTk6EZi-2koHcFuGRWSqpIcG2to8oqglmBAOi5xd3yI5e9nREXJH9OGV3J0h6SI6lMJMMQENCSvlwuoQtb1J-eaMGAHyDKh_9zowZL0-OPAU/s400/02112010-Thandie-Newton-400.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448986346577017602" /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Thandie Newton </i></b>in a McQueen gown.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div></div></div><div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqwVWMJINu-_Nj21hhj9Dx9OdGW5XZxfXdA7v7sHsN3EUCIZlV0jZohmIBkq0Wn_vSmhIvE5ntfrVdXUxBC8H9I2DIN5OvB9Zg0Fu3eFbyr4Oj_AlbKD2at2F1c0TWoHsGDEVW7Pfsk0Vh/s400/02112010-Rihanna-400.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448986183081295058" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Rihanna</b></i> in a McQueen jumpsuit.</div><br /><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnjRChQp7Yh7hmR70pGs09yzSZH3mLdL7QwTRXLkDa5X12Aj4YxIsX5rWioN8ejQWiylnu4A16WR8J1MiSjvxyXswWquoUxF2yrCPxjaFMuNuuYtMYPpmPwcMw7zfm8vB8vEs56fFltWOx/s400/030110-michelle-obama-200.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448985862250240690" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">First lady </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Michelle Obama</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> in a McQueen chiffon blouse.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">His death was certainly untimely, but McQueen's fashions will always be timeless.

The film focuses on vogue editors scrambling to compose their 2008 September Issue (hints the title,) which is a significant edition for the magazine. One editor exclaims "September is like the January of fashion," in which is when most major events happen, including the annual fashion week. The film will peek inside into the world of Wintour, seeing what's behind the designer shades and under the blunt banged bob. I am looking forward to this nonfictional take of the behind the scenes bickering, action, and excitement that goes on while compiling one of the most prominent poshly publications of our time. </div><div style="text-align: center;">"The September Issue" will hit theaters in New York on Aug. 29, and in special cities Sept. 11. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watch the trailer <b><a href="http://www.theseptemberissue.com/">here</a>.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div>zahrajamilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572096135873225104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242180774151888041.post-16552209452178566742009-06-29T18:59:00.000-07:002009-06-30T22:40:11.971-07:00affordable high fashion.<div style="text-align: left;"><b>h&m partners w/ designer labels.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOesntxLD-A-OnFmKM44WWzI9jmtSFQlUCqYA8WbZg1Gmqn79xartpABnQKbLnCCcpI7DOpT1c4U4kutgTO8YfZxD_F_bYRqWGYgXpgEFjImXGx5SAIS8tvdl0uMJqj2ljWUXUH51iWuZv/s400/jimmy-choo-collaborate-hm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353362025770188514" /><div style="text-align: center;">In light of the harsh economic times, H&M has teamed up with Jimmy Choo to release a line of shoes (of course), bags, and clothing priced on the low side (hopefully) for the fall season. The Choo collection will also include accessories, bags, and shoes for men and will launch in over 200 stores on Nov. 14. Needless to say, I'm very excited for the collection, but curious as to how it will look.

She has styled the celebrity elite including Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey... the list is infinite. I'm currently reading her book <b>"Effortless Style"</b> in which she gives advice on how to own, improve, and develop your look by looking through a realistic lens. The key word here being <i>effortless</i>, Ambrose provides the blueprint on being simply chic without breaking your budget. Who says you have to drop a ridic amount of bills for a designer garb to look fab? She gives lessons on how to enhance your features with the accurate accessories and educates you on what works for your body from the neck to the hem lines. Ambrose appeals to and writes for the everyday woman who wants to achieve "iconic style with ease." I recommend this book not only to my fashion aficionados but to anyone who is aiming to understand </div><div style="text-align: center;">what owning your style is really about. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And from what I'm learning, effortless style can be attained by starting from within. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img style="text-align: center;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSkv8XfYea_6_5D_EQ66AnVB5Ys3gcAQDnoqK9GskgVrBCNOCeBhnrbi_AAOxUkvaHMIRVrrQsytwItY2sGx0_CamFp7WRWKAegRhM_9azynLbjHNukjKfl_5VqeasjjhIsYT7WBs1P5HX/s400/IMG_0305.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351129061919447698" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After I conquer Ambrose's survival kit to style, my next venture is Rachel Zoe's <b><i>"Style from A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, & Everything Glamour."</i></b> I will definitely provide my review.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Purchase <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1416950974/ref=s9_simz_gw_s6_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=16WDQ44GYVPK8K80HSYN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846"><b><i>"Effortless Style" </i></b></a>and/or <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Style-Zoe-Fashion-Everything-Glamour/dp/0446535869/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b">"Style from A to Zoe"</a></i></b> at Amazon.com.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>zahrajamilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572096135873225104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242180774151888041.post-62791910503320009632009-06-08T22:35:00.001-07:002009-07-07T20:18:45.521-07:00top 10 fashionistas.<div style="text-align: center;">So, I have compiled a list of 10 fashionably influential females who have inspired me to find my sense of style. Ranking these women would be pretty much impossible because each have a distinct way of molding themselves. Overall, they have all equally been muses in my eyes, and therefore wanted to acknowledge them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Rihanna</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 193px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheVYBMNw7qj1AU-VrBgBisURy7g33rfWRCU07XCbP9Dgc26GkzvlBOBKzenqjDti6mRrY4JMnx5pTXVsk8M3O6Tszi_edU73hfIKdEWVcXZ9trNi83ReWpibBFRUTjl3585EzkbrFKq-u8/s400/86474377.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348584342740416770" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you know me, then you know how much I adore Ms. Rih Rih's impeccably edgy style. I don't even think people even remember her cookie cutter Caribbean image anymore since it's being suffocated by her present fashionable appeal. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Lauren Conrad</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IvlmrrDwHvQp248mgIPzZJQ3479-b9ctUPCZL9EV5R3W2-pGsSWP0ml6TXGt2T-4p4r18MmGsHLQ9uPSYFyb2GL5yQzgHNZKeRy8SsNmXMx3LAS5flsMkj1tDLjuB0k-ugdWNUWpTVfj/s400/88088209.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348582386686568002" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been following Conrad since her Laguna days, and she has shed her beachy good girl image and developed into one of the most chicly dressed women of my generation. Her involvement and contribution to fashion should not go unrecognized. From starting off as an intern being stifled under the wing of Lisa Love, to being smothered by the bat wing of Kelly Catrone of People's Revolution, to even having her own line (that failed due to the struggling economy,) Conrad's resume should be envied by fashion aficionados everywhere. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Angela Simmons</i></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJuleybMhEDXG-_6p5XxSEz0IFY6kYUSEMc4dig4ca9AeFRYYcxYSEtIaq1oYdbfqMWLRZ6VBg7uGpzNh03OCHlDEW6McDxJzw_L1-vlZ2Pjbdns5C9y1CsmeLpv6apXq1vJ8huTem8t-M/s400/87916229.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348579870663032802" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Spawn of the bishop of Hip Hop Rev Run, the 22 year old has achieved what most people have taken years to in the fashion biz. In partner with her older sis Angela, she has a clothing and shoe line, she's styled and oversaw wardrobe in magazines, and even had her own mag that was short lived, but it's still an accomplishment. Overall, I admire not only her eclectic taste, but her determination to deter from her family and make it on her own.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Rachel Zoe</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLK_69LYAzqY2VqUitWwpG4DeY7nAuvPl7_I86GKumtXs5yTPxRsKprpI61o_JRaSqAj6AckAT_nVeAwxm7mx3k76Kd_sDGJrPiONsaxia453_pgxHpzKljr3-zow6w5M8cBLc3dVG-QVu/s400/88291874.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348577458842581506" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay, so maybe she O.D.'d with the botox, and maybe I'm a little peculiar as to how she manages to wear platforms that weigh more than her, BUT I must shout out Ms. Zoe as being apart of my Alma Mater (she's a GWU Grad!) No one can really deny the fabulousness of Zoe. From her faux (I hope) fur shags to the panther on her finger her style is wild. I just recently purchased her book "<b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Style-Zoe-Fashion-Everything-Glamour/dp/0446535869/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245315428&sr=8-1">Style from A to Zoe</a></b>," and anticipate reading what she has to say about fashion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Taylor Jacobson</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 385px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwxsNybejay8kUgcu4dFE1rrwSwCdsz88ZXKikcyIjVK7zm60RBFOaAvkgbZB07Nev7opwR0T9JSd4RpRFz0J2lYTwyw0nNrAQXa1OB_UHhTcukzbCJ9-H5AXGmSV34w_nvyqes2hOpdBf/s400/rachel-zoe-project3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348575699811272354" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not a familiar face, but if you watch the Rachel Zoe Project, you definitely know her to be the bitchy style associate to Zoe. Though her attitude needs adjustment, her style is not to be questioned. Her signature is putting flares of punk with chic designer accessories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Kim Kardashian</i></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 271px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjws0cYD6lvrpANEpj8UgS26T4Sh28hB5QCbEN2yPAWqtrD0GQ8JK5ZNtuDmVns4E-4jOYXT0dAQhP5rFWFHzrXDd55qcJpKs1U8FhTYQzMO_Z61kcYypVvnjHdatkLmv2DDCJbiaeo7MY7/s400/87442132.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348573905193126562" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Known to be controversial and a bodacious socialite, Kardashian has somewhat pulled her self from under the dark light of scandal by always being on point for the lights that constantly flash on her. She smartly plays on her sexy curves with shapely silhouette, but also plays them down with conservatively chic shifts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>June Ambrose</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 172px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4QZJkxI1XXLL0M-OjCUIhvKPLqMik1MnaWf7fKCccswDMTHrFYkmB2KSSt38XplBdkXgBGfeLoJa8H92Z5Er5S516SuW2_xj94K0xcEgVa7xptfZGIDd5sKTce631rzLH2809vY7rW860/s400/82284028.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348571704801383538" /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ambrose has to be one of (if not my ultimate) fashion hero. She is the stylist to most of the hottest stars (Jay-Z brilliantly coined her as "The Secretary of Style".) Like most of the fashionably educated should, she has written a book that I am currently reading called "<b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Effortless-Style-June-Ambrose/dp/1416950974/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245315464&sr=1-1">Effortless Style</a></b>" in which she shares her wisdom on how to be well dressed.

Like Jacobson, she successfully pulls off being punk, yet feminine (which can sometimes be like mixing oil and vinegar.) She's able to stir the two together ultimately making her a toxic fashion force to be reckoned with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Solange Knowles</i></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6KHPv_JojT0SqjV_xMMkYuNF8XMUES54-H6TyIGpF24CVKN4EjX3SFrV65JnWoXhgHyRr-ye_kb7qyEWY-kiaa8m89VyKKtrf5E_wsG_ZI2sjfMg68PLIr9btBBDFZ8nW3WRAbqXOLuHg/s400/85272451.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348568118445785202" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Creeping from behind her sister's overtly curvaceous shadow, Solange has managed to make a unique name for herself. Not only has she grown up to be a wife and mother (accomplishing something substantial earlier than Beyonce), she has also sprung into being a fashion forward fatale. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Carrie Bradshaw</i></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 234px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi06uWwN_nS14V_CsSmP7Ded4lPYaK9UhfnBim2hq1nlEcLfg3pEGLXnrXXsfRmzRTN6TEEpjKRIyQTLWt8zy4EeGZrCaq56x8H6LBRRohIl4Rq6FkV_lpt369yNmNEu45JA58gE0pBloge/s400/carrie.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348537800080746690" /><br /><div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a loyal Sex & the City fan, and love the lifestyle Bradshaw leads (even though I can't "<i>help but wonder" </i>how a sex columnist could afford to stash couture in her closet?)

She accessorized with diamond drop earrings, diamond bangles, and a diamond ring (or shall I say rock.) I was actually pleasantly surprised by her choice.

Whit snagged a job at the fashion house of Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF to us fashion followers) along with an Aussie named Jay (think Justin Bobby with an accent.) The show premiered Monday, Dec. 29 and is apart of the new MTV Monday Night line up following Brody Jenner's new shoe Bromance. It seems that some of The Hills cast is branching out on their own reality show endeavors. The Simmons Sisters Angela's and Vanessa's new show "Daddy's Girls" will also be apart of the line up starting January 9 @ 1030 (can't wait for that one too.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In the premiere episode "If She Can Make it Here," Whit goes on her first day of working at DVF where she meets her new co workers including uptown socialite Olivia. I predict back stabbing from her seeing that she takes an uncomfortable interest in Jay. We are also introduced to her temp roomie Erin, who is classified as a downtown girl. As Whit explained in the beginning of the episode, uptown girls are [stuck up] "socials" and downtown girls are care free partiers. Uptown, downtown... the difference between the two is like Sarah Palin--pointless. I'm sure Whit wouldn't categorize herself as either, at least I would hope. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>A second episode "The Truth Will Reveal Itself" premiered right after, which was a nice treat. Whit got to meet shoe mastermind Manolo Blahnik (who is an old white guy...surprise surprise) with Olivia, who wasn't shy from sharing her story about her first pair of Manolo's...repeatedly. But we really get to the drama when Jay is accused of hooking up with his ex, by jealous Alex whom Whit previously met in NYC for a job trip that still obviously carries some interest in her. Both guys seemed pretty shady if you ask me. Though there may be some truth in the accusation, Alex's motives for bringing it up to Whit were purely for hero sake, which back fired. What didn't was Whit's ability to be adorably decked out in short and draped dresses through out each episode. My favorite was her first day of work 'fit which was a yellow printed and banded dress that looked like it was designed by Ms. DVF herself. (She got approval from some construction workers when she was walking to work, LOL...welcome to The City!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here are some promo pics...</span></span><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hmm... wonder who's hand she's holding.</div><div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 365px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU2pC_gI6YHpOnyOlzLno07GUdeRHdCwQhE2KmQVxzg0MJnSPLxffeeOVng4kwOahiFzzyo0MaWoyo9ufsbb51uX2INr8fqRfxuKFNkSoDIt2n85JS5o2jEQiSv0vZPcJc_YPmvYV5xP-0/s400/whitney-port-bed-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285866260126419394" /><div style="text-align: center;">Love the dress...</div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 365px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2KVI7x-j9KAIlYon1xmE2L9bDz5HbJGXz9nE2wcjA8u3ARijyPBpkZe4TKmsG9ulkCOJvoWi_ltz7XYs-VV_wdMIq3JaI4OCy8PIA7CuO4ijbuikhJbI1cHFgJHQiH4BW-qYgDC_zy4i/s400/whitney-port-restaurant-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285865431623175266" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">L 2 R: Olivia, Whitney, Erin</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8DA8fE18CW1P-rzefWOWN_8DudyQNn03kKPVhWzlM_VtoY3OsUsopYJjcujUrNLxs9UslolwxTQLWHvmBjqpo3l51qKMmbPqyLwVYdCEb7rVZOnj6UsFLFLWval2I8gwL_z45k90lMkQ/s400/Street_3_0104.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285865429207383314" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jay</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcNPvlfhpKM4VEkFfvo1RkfNiGpMrFDVU4ML_KjHhkN635dkfQ-VlwmclgHOS-yyePMHfw6MhqaRfFDAhWz4d40gJXaVt3a_YL9Tu1_ABhKpOP8r_AuyV_0HQ4ip2T06PoTfsCdVWaKN9N/s400/Street_4_0038.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285865432959792594" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One question remains, will <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The Hills</span> still be alive for a fifth season?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Catch <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The City</span>, Mondays @ 10 on MTV.

Smack dab in the middle of the magazine starting at page 85 are famous African American figures that will change the future. Of course and obviously President-elect Barack Obama along with his future first lady are a couple of those people, featured in the Vogue Point of View spread. Beautiful portraits of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Obamas</span>, photographed by renowned photographer Annie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Leibovitz</span> were apart of the layout. I must say, Michelle looks absolutely radiant and regal in her teal subtly couture gown designed by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Narciso</span> Rodriguez (yes, surprisingly this is the same designer who created that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">catastrophes</span> of a dress she wore during <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Obama's</span> election victory.) <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some of the pages of Vogue with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Obamas</span> (I had to snap them because I couldn't find the pics online.)<br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyn5VbHekk2griWLgLYUd6plCGm8duUAPLuqAun7CBCUbsPPIvgvWdJaZoI8bGmuE9Mp9W_9tOxsPqiwnwMNyDl352GPtsawt8w6W3MEdJdr8YeITqyuK9oX61Q1WSJkummyEpUSoh85Lm/s400/IMG_2443.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283245395082547970" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3onYiAH8rv9FLQj1uW-X9Tdr8NIibXU_hzdXKqpKg0BZS1wOc2OykImTP8SS0AU4vRXwE4GiOmBfSfmxSW37PleoZSG9_MF83E_uFKydAhTreHh6KOIeJxEDrd3uDoq-AJphcL-_OTK9k/s400/IMG_2448.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283245843603614450" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Immediately following that, my two new favorite models, Chanel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Iman</span> and Jourdan Dunn are in a 16-page fashion story entitled "Magical Realism," modeling designer clothes from Marc Jacobs to Louis <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Vuitton</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Iman</span> and Dunn capture the idea of modeling with movement, making these clothes flow and flare with their tribal-like ponytails slinging in the air. These Black and ground breaking ladies are shaping a new mold and leading the new crop of colored models that will hopefully be more present in prominent fashion magazines, shows, and ads. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Jourdan Dunn</span></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5puxxaophUs-I94pnb9pSWkr0WUBfemDpWmtpxrM3C1ev8yt65_T38ZTaevuazq49PR_Fy84yW_LSOg8eUVXqBhtBicFHlHW1QOiYK5kf0p1wlcaSbepJkAA4KjmSX2mZnrnUKHuB0BCc/s400/tt_Chanel+Iman+%26+Jourdan+Dunn1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283238196659860498" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Chanel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Iman</span> </span>(appropriately dressed in Chanel)</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmeA_BVXJfXSHXhm6G5pY29Zh3D7X996tLKjhYLlIKfIr8avfHZNBZzB4zjzeX5fj9jYHYqdqxf6ZQe0QPQf4n9U5np45w1pTOZVcyuLuzeqWyH3Pu-8eTInbpSqx1dKcShHAvlUNKD-W7/s400/tt_Chanel+Iman+%26+Jourdan+Dunn16.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283238788045253938" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7sLh1SFCdVzolotPOIbCcNRCo68lphyphenhyphenm07CgmYTzA5KMWhW7gtLBauyr_Q2_XE3VvkY9gDlDIcWswiERtv9ybY8R-Z0I2nOAbsx069C_uRUnrHdOAYJ0hwc3tIUwmYzEui8B77bAtiacX/s400/tt_Chanel+Iman+%26+Jourdan+Dunn5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283239407142245602" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDlT_VhYGFSMo-j7j4fHE_EW52q8RdF2oxGGfE4PpcbN8JmCNsVlwSvJrDVC0wM4TJQrjP76zUSMYXzoIhATRIKUGZ7woxV_aW5rcaLJ41NGnEJiOQkAdW2tkZ0u-CBSwCFZolMW6qx5AM/s400/tt_Chanel+Iman+%26+Jourdan+Dunn13.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283239215749290530" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Vogue <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Italia</span> managed to dedicate a whole issue to black models, but who's to say that will stay consistent? I also couldn't help but notice that in this issue all the people of color are grouped in the center pages of the magazine where you can't miss them. Was that purposefully done to excuse the notion that not enough black people appear in Vogue? And once they are placed, will the next issue feature just as much, or more... or not as much... or none at all? Not to say that I'm not happy to see these faces of color (I wouldn't have thought it to be important to blog blurb about if I wasn't) but the issue remains a cloud hovering over the fashion world.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>zahrajamilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572096135873225104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242180774151888041.post-59784104849152516892008-12-08T21:18:00.000-08:002008-12-14T15:04:24.799-08:00fashion designs for the first lady.<div style="text-align: center;">Coveted fashion designers from Michael <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kors</span></span> to Diane Von <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Furstenberg</span></span> sketched designs for Michelle Obama to wear to Inauguration Week.
