House of Dereon... STEPS ITS GAME UP!!!!

So, sales have been rapidly falling for Mrs. Carter's line "Dereon." I was fully convinced of its demise after I saw this Marshall's/TJ Maxx clearance rack outfit ad (see first pic). However, I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED at the "House of Dereon" (the pricier line of Dereon) dresses that are being released for the Fall 2008. These dresses will be the redemption of the "House of Dereon"... if only she can step the Dereon game up... and leave the clearance area" Come on Mama Tina!









These Dresses can be found on www.houseofdereon.com

I've been gone for a min. now I'm back with the jump off....

Yes, its true I have been gone, but I've searched far and wide for the HOTTEST trends for the Fall, and by-golly I think I've got it! SNAKE SKIN HANDBAGS! Mrs. Carter herself(our favorite fashionista) has been rocking them all over the place... Please excuse the roughness of her overall look, focus on the bag! However, this is a HOTT trend that is gonna be here just in time for the Fall along with Leather, Plaid, and American Apparel!

Fall Trend Alert..... Plaid & Leather

I just received my Express fall coupons and look book in the mail yesterday. I'm always curious as to what is the new fall trend.... So it looks like Cute little crop motorcycle jackets, and school girl plaid is all the rage! I'm kinda excited, I was looking forward to a refined look this fall... However I've been there and done the leather crop... see 1st semester Jr year (facebook) :-) However, it is nice to know that I won't be having to goodwill my Forever 21 Cropped leather. So we're back to the girly menswear jackets! See Mrs. Carter! Happy Shopping!

Do We Love it?!?!??!............

The beautiful Mrs. Carter is featured here in the new fashion rocks! magazine. I see her rocking the men's wear... and I guess this dispels the pregnancy rumors... Photoshop? However, the men's wear vest, slacks, and jackets are HOTT for the fall... lets just hope people don't KILL it as they do with most other trends i.e. leggings & scarfs (Rule: "If DOTS carries the item... its DEAD") But I am loving this look... Do We Love It?

One of the many reasons why I LOVE Black Men...

Um, so I know I focus on fashion, fitness, black love, and fabulousness for the most part... however I have to stop, look, and listen on this one! I was scrolling through one of my fave sites and hot damn there is Nelly, signed on as the new... body, abs, arms, chest... I mean face of Diddy's label Sean John. Diddy made a good choice with this one. Well most of the time Diddy makes good choices we just have to wait and see how long it sustains... see Penelope Cruz, Lauren London... WOMP! For now I'm enjoying the View!

Hot Alert!!!!!!!!!!! The "V" Neck

So I recently purchased a 5 pack of V necks from my one stop shop LOVE AFFAIR store: Target! So I was sifting through some celeb trends and I was surprised that so many celebs love these ultra comfy and ultra stylish (if styled correctly) shirts.I was under the assumption the V neck was a college girl thing. The V neck can be thrown on with jeans, leggings, and skirts to look ultra chic! Add a few layered necklaces, and a belt, gladiators, or a scarf if you really trying show stop, and you have a comfy multi-tasking fit. So run to your local dept store, pick up a value pack (usually size S or M) and accessorize away with a little white V neck tee. Muah*

Back for the 1st time... emphasis on FIRST, and other guilty pleasures...

If any of you live or spend any amount of time on a predominantly white college campus, you have walked past (without ever looking twice, well maybe to point and laugh) an American Apparel clothing store. Some groups of people (not naming any names) have know about this "diamond in the ruff" store for years..... Yet with African American women it's just catching on. They have a conglomeration of solid colored clothing that can be layered, tied, roped, sashed, harnessed, laced, and bundled to create cute little outfits that can be worn as club attire, school fits, or out on the town. check them out...

Blogs...

So I recently stumbled on this fairly new way of communication... Blogs. At first I was apprehensive about putting "my diary" on the internet for the world to see. Then, as I sit BORED as bump on a log I decided "what the hey," why not my life hasn't been to eventful thus far. So I'm thinking it can only get more exciting from here.... ENJOY!
