Stars of Today and Yesterday

Celebrities of today have great style, but I think sometimes we forget that the people who dress them are inspired by celebrities of yesterday. The trend setter such as Dorothy Dandridge, Billie Holiday, Diana Ross, and Josephine Baker are now honored by other entertainers. Beyonce, Halle, Zoe Saldana, and Sanaa Lathan are just a few of the celebrities that transform into the women of yesterday and I must say these women of today definitely do the women of yesterday justice.

I Love The 80's

Fashion almost always makes a 360 degree turn.There are some things we can't let go of,some things that come back go away,and come back again, and then ther is the fashion statements that should stay in the past.


I personally have been in love with the 80's for as long as I can remember.As an 80's baby how could I not love the color and uniqueness that came from the 80's.I wlays knew it would come back and hit hard but who knew that some of the crazy things worn back then would come back and take some back down memory lane and open up the younger generations eyes to what used to be?I did.


Jelly's,leggings,cropped jean skirts,bulky bangles,and off the shoulder shirts are just some of the things you can see walking down the street today.All of these things are 80's at it's finnest.







Everyone had a pair of jelly's and although this is one of those fashion statements that shouldn't come back for adults it's really cute on kids.I had every color and every style.






The big belt around the sweater or blouse is still a big thing and even I rock this look from time to time.


Who could forget the leggings and cropped skirt,it's still around and going strong.


Bangles like these can be found at stores like Wet Seal,Forever 21,and other stores that are similar.



The colorful hoop earrings.Wow!I can remember seeing these in high school and that was just three years ago.


LA Gears were just one brand that you couldn't so without in the 80's.


I know you will agree with me when I say that this stuff is still in and is great to see.I love the colors and how free the 80's style is.

Fashion Week Pt.2

Fashion shows aren't the only thing that took place during fashion week,celebs attended the shows but when they weren't there,they were out celebrating the success of others and supporting each other.What more can you ask for?


Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Braderick a the black-tie affair celebrating Ralh Lauren's 40 years in the fashion business.Does this woman ever look bad?


Janet attended the Catherine Malandrino show at the Chelsa Art Museum.


Jennifer Lopez was at the opening bash for Roberto Cavalli's new Just Cavalli boutique with the man himself.



Jessica Simpson attended the opening party for the new Just Cavalli flagship store in New York City on week three of Fashion Week.


Molly Simms and Demi Moore at Temperley London's show in the Bryant Tents.(week four)


Nicole Richie and baby chat with Molly Simms on week three of Fashion Week.

Fashion Week

So Fashion week started and we are in week four,how fabulous has it been?I must say after looking at the pictures from the show I am beyond envious of the fact that I wasn't there.It was so hard for me to choose one designer and one design so I chose three of my favorites and three of their designs.Also there are pictures of some celebs at shows and openings of new stores.
