There's no doubt about it, Michelle Obama looked as stylish as her husband's speech was rousing! This couple can't be stopped. The Washington Post LifeStyle section reported that Obama wore a Barbara Tfank dress. Tfank, based in Los Angeles, described the dress as a “criss cross bodice cap-sleeved slim dress in silk twill”. It’s the third time she’s worn a Tfank style. I love how Ms. O

You can't start shopping for the season until you get the official color guide from Pantone. This years colors are some of my fave. There's muted pastels and electric neons that all come together to form an interesting palette. With color-blocking coming back for Spring 2012, I'm interested to see the combos designers will ship out for the season. Oh yeah, can we talk about YELLOW making a

When I started this blog, I always said I wasn't out to made fun of people. You'll never see any of those, "Oh NO she DIDN'T" type posts on this site. The problem with taking this oath is when I see a photo of a celeb wearing a not-so-fly outfit - I'm kind of at odds. In my mind, I use my stylist skills to remake their outfit. Then I realized, I can re-mix their outfits on the site, as a way

  Oh this trend makes me so happy! Lace is back for Spring 2012, but not just the black, white, or nude/blush versions, bold colors have arrived to the lace game!  Above is Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor's Spring 2012 ad campaign. Her bold lace sheath dress along with signature necklace (still in for 2012) create an interesting yet lady-like contrast. Brightly colored lace can be found in

A couple days ago, Tracee Ellis-Ross, tweeted this FAB video of her walking in a Thierry Mugler show with her mom. In the video, a 1991 runway clip, Tracee Joins her mother onstage as a special guest at the show. Tracee looks so cute as a pretty young thang running the catwalk. Her fun, yet effortless beauty was already blossoming. Go Tracee! Take a looks a the iconic video below:

You know, Rhianna is the official spokesperson of Emporio Armani Underwear. Rhianna's a pretty girl but lately, she's been on her bad girl persona. Recently parted ways with her wardrobe stylist Mareil Henn and her hairstylist Ursala Stephens - the team responsible for her looks from Umbrella/Good Girl Gone Bad days. Now she's got a this euro-punk rock emo look going on. It's not my fave, but

Last week I was invited to Belk department store in Cool Springs Galleria. The occasion - all things SPRING! Trend experts, bloggers, and fashion reporters discussed the hottest developments for the new season.

Nashville is known for conutry music but our nickname, "The Music City", actually comes from Nashville's deep rooted spiritual chior scene - specifically the Fisk University Jubilee Singers.

Welp, I woke up to this little gem of information this morning - Macy's is closing it's doors in the Hickory Hollow Mall after 32 years of service. The Cincinnati based retailer is closing  eleven stores, nationwide, one being in Nashville. In conjunction with the close, the store will hold a 10-week discount sale starting this weekend (1/6/2012). Although this is prime shopping for a discount

It's that time! New Year's Eve is upon us and the questions are coming in on what to wear for the big day. Personally, my friends and I are doing the 'tourist' thing for New Year's Eve. We are eating dinner at a fancy restuarant and going to downtown Nashville for the block party which features fireworks and a guitar drop. However, I know some of you are going to host parties and/or attend

A couple of months ago Kimora tweeted photos of her photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar Malaysia. Kimora is continuing to keep the party going by snagging another cover for Harper's Bazaar, this time in Singapore! I love seeing Kimora on the cover of magazines. I think the separation from Baby Phat has helped re-launch her modeling career. Keep up the good work Kimora! Styling by Kenneth Goh

Ok, first Denim Magazine caught my eye with Nicole Ari Parker on their November cover, and now they have scored big with Cynthia Bailey from Real Housewives of Atlanta. There's a reason why Cynthia was so successful in the modeling issue - this girl is gorgeous. Her stint on RHOA is only bringing her career back to life. I'm sure we'll see alot more covers featuring Cynthia's gorgeous face.

Christmas is less than a week away! If you are like me, you are still shopping for the perfect gift for your favorite friends. If one of the people on that list happens to be a fashionista - then buying her a floppy fedora hat will get you so many points. Floppy fedora hats hit the run way for fall 2011. But it's not like this style is new. Floppy hats usually make there way on the scene

Navajo inspired prints have been floating around since late summer 2011. The trend, stemming from thr tribal print theme of '09-'10, is best translated in heavy knit and wool blend fabrics. That's why it's gained so much steam during this winter season.

YAY! It's Christmas time - my favorite time of the year. This is also the time I start my All I Want For Christmas posts. Now changed to Christmas Wishes! These are gifts I'm suggesting for your favorite fashionista. You know, that girl that seems to have it all, but always wishes for more. First on the list is Chanel Nail Polishes. Every fashionista has her favorite polish, but Chanel polish

Love, love, love Queen Latifah's cover for Essence Magazine January 2012 issue. On the cover the movie and music star wears a red jumpsuit and wide belt. Her hair is looking a bit blonder for 2012, but I like it.   YBF.com reported that Queen Latifah will premiere her first talk show in the new year (source). I think I'd watch Queen Latifah's talk show, would you?

I've been rolling this topic around for a couple of weeks - I want to kill the Polo and Ugg boots trend. I've killed alot of trends since this blog started (Capri Pants, Feather Earrings, Old Navy Flip Flops), but I feel the Polo and Ugg boot trend is gonna be a hard one to stop. Why? Because, I have no other options to give people. So, let's start with why I hate Polo and Ugg Boots, shall we?

This week's shoe is off the beaten path. As much as you fashion divas want to wear pumps, sometimes we need a shoe that is as functional as it is fashionable. Enter the Trinity Boot by Sperry. This mash-up of a deck shoe, heeled boot, and casual-ness is an alternative to the tired Ugg boots. Step outside the box and try these cute winter boots for the season. CLICK HERE FOR PURCHASE INFO

On Tuesday, CBS aired the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. It is reported that nearly 14 million people tuned in to see the lovely ladies strut down the catwalk.  Fashion-wise, I enjoyed this show much more than any of the other shows. However, the models aren't as good as past years. No one can beat the Tyra, Heidi, and Naomi days!  Below are pictures of some of my favorite

You should already know how much I love Kimora. I'm all about her fabulosity! Check her out on the current cover of Harper's Bazaar Malaysia, styled by Kenneth Goh. After leaving the Baby Phat company in 2010, Kimora went out to do her own thing. She's currently in the midst of launching several clothing, jewelry, and skincare brands (source), as well as her reality show on the STYLE network (

Although they're not 'celebs' the presidential daughters always make a fashionable statement. Styleite.com reports that Sasha and Malia may be wearing Marc Jacobs, although this hasn't been confirmed. No matter the designer, the girls made an cool statement with their on trend yet appropriate Turkey-day outfits. Can their lil patent leather booties get any cuter!?

Sisters are hot in Hollywood right now. Vogue's annual style guide featured ten sets of stylish sisters and W Magazine followed suit with a similar story entitled Soul Sisters. The Saldana Sisters were spotlighted in the article. Zoe (33), Cisely (34), and Mariel (32) say their bond is so tight that they text each other every thirty minutes! How sweet is that? Now how much do we love this

Being an upcoming stylist, I'm always looking at star-style for inspiration. Some stars get it right, all the time, and some have consistent misses. Last night was an EPIC miss for Christina. This too tight Herve Leger creation shows the worst parts of Christiana's body. It smashed her curves and made her appear lumpy. My twitter stream went crazy with Christina 'slander' - mostly about her

I'm not gonna waste your time trying to go through the snooze-fest that was the American Music Awards. I didn't even finish watching the show because it was just that bad! However, there were two bright spots in the mix, Nicki Minaj's dress and Chris Brown's performance. I just loved the ball gown (Oscar de la Renta; Shoe, McQueen) Nicki Minaj wore as she recevied her two AMA awards -

Whew! Tennessee State University's Homecoming events are done. What a fantastic homecoming it was! Next on the social calender is Fisk University's homecoming. What I love about Fisk's Homecoming is how intimate it feels. Since Fisk is a smaller HBCU, the alumni have more of a family relationship. Everyone knows everyone! And, even if you don't even know anyone, the alumni will make you feel

Have you heard T-Pain's new song, 5 O'clock, featuring Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa? It's the BOMB.com! When I first heard this new song, which is light on auto-tune, and heavy on content, I was impressed. I got home and asked my roommate if she liked the song.

Actually, Single Ladies and Get Me Bodied are my top 2 favorite videos by Miss Bey. So when a video can surpass those standards, then I'll say it's an awesome vid. However, I respect Bey's swagger and I

So last year all the celebs were obsessing over the Giuseppe Zanotti Leopard Print Booties. Those shoes were popping up all over the red carpets and magazine editorials. Unfortunately, not too many of us regualr girls can afford the $1,195 price tag that came with owning a pair of the coveted shoes. So, the knock-off started coming. Now, I don't have a problem with a knock-off, but it has to

Lord knows I love me some Chucks! And a man in a pair of Chucks? SCORE! So when I saw these all leather cranberry and brown Chucks that Converse launched for their Fall/Winter Boots & Leather Collection, I had to post. These are quite fly and will last a couple of seasons. The weathered look will do well in the cooler temps too - you can even wear these in the snow and slush. Actually, the

I saw this photo and I was given life - LIFE! Last year I posted that animal print was the trend to watch for, but this year the trend is specifically LEOPARD print. And you know what, I'm all in!  Adding leopard print to the mix is all about your individual taste. Take a look at the picture above, just to see how many pieces are influenced by leopard print. What makes the trend work

My friend Toya posted this tutorial on her blog, Black Girls Like Us, and I was instantly amazed. As a person with a gang of scarves I always look for interesting ways to wear them. Take a look at WendysLookBook on YouTube and be as amazed as I am. Then run to the nearest boutique and buy some scarves to amp up you fall wardrobe. Follow Wendy on Twitter, Facebook, and her official blog.

Talk about Nicki all you want, but you can't knock her hustle. The self-proclaimed Barbie, is stepping into the big leaugues of beauty, pairing up with OPI for a collection of limited edition nail lacquers! Above are samples of the prospective colors. There are several more in the works; the collection is due on the shelves early 2012. So what do we think? Personally, I'm loving the Pink

Clearly, I'm obsessed with oxford heels this month (see last week's shoe). I think fall brings out my studious style. As a child, I was the only person who voted 'yes' to wearing uniforms - I just love the luxury of adding over the top accessories to a bland outfit idea. The best way to start is to have an interesting pair of heels - and these Oxford heels by Anthropologie have tassels, and

Last week I told you about quirky sweaters, now we take a nod from or fashion friends in Seattle and Portland and we bring back the plaid flannel (or not) shirt. Guys, plaid is back!

Beyonce is dropping videos as if making videos is going out of style! Last week it was 'Countdown' and this week is 'Love on Top'. Beyonce is clearly inspired by so many sources and any music or movie fan should be able to see her influences in each video. This time around she gives a shout-out to one of the best R&B boy bands in the industry, New Edition. The choreography and staging is

Just when I thought Louboutins were becoming a parody of themselves, the company goes about making some really creative designs for Fall 2011. Taking a nod from the color-block trend, Louboutin delivers this color-block, platform, oxford bootie. The color scheme gives a nod to fall colors (ivy green, coffee brown, and wine) and almost distracts you from realizing this is a 'red-bottom' shoe.

Gosh, this girl is a machine! Above Beyonce poses for the Novemeber issue of Harper's Bazaar.

I know we are so used to the shoe of the week being this over-the-top dream catcher design, but I chose this wedge bootie by ASOS to prove a point - you need a good traditional shoe as the seasons transition.
