Oh My Dandy!! Kanye West & Amare Stoudemire Become Women's Designers
Who: Amare Stoudemire & Kanye West
I love love love Rachel Roy. Her collections are smart, feminine, and adventurous all at the same time. To hear of her creating yet a third line is very exciting news.
This time a collaborative effort with the stylish, Amare Stoudemire, Roy says the line will be geared towards, "A girl that goes to sporting events. She goes to a basketball event or maybe football events. She needs something that is modern, something that represents her in a way that doesn't look like it just came out of a sporting good shop... I think I would like to teach girls that you don't have to wear high heels to watch sports, but you can be casually chic."
Stoudemire, who says Rachel is the driver and he's just the maintenance man of the creative relationship, will be lending his personal style and taste to the line.

The collection will be available in select Macy's, with prices ranging from $45-$250.
Rating: Easy fabrics, cool colors, and statement pieces. |
| Kanye West for Louis |
Rating: Heavy design details, embellishments, luxurious fabrics and skins, and very sexy silhouettes.
I'm interested and definitely not knocking either of the lines until I see some product. I know better than to think that great collections are built on personal style, especially when the designers themselves aren't familiar with the cut and form of the body. Enter designer Rachel Roy and Loise Green to help nurture and guide the men's influenced women's lines. We'll see how my ratings for the two collections holds up.
Totally Obsessed, xoxo Love

With prices ranging from $16 to $45 there is something for everyone. The most popular sellers are the Perfect 10's "Day & Night". Night happens to be my favorite pair of the collection. I'm a magnet to gold jewelry.
Endless couture has been worn by Maybach Music artist Teedra Moses, gospel singer Onitsha, and LA based R&B singer songwriter Jazzy.

Who: First Lady Michelle Obama
What: Various Appearances
Wear: Classic American Style
Rating: She's Every Woman
I rated this post "She's Every Woman" because the more I follow Michelle Obama's style the more I realize that her public persona represents more than just the black women. Coupled with her personal style, her personality speaks to the wife, the mother, the entrepreneur, the girlfriend and so many of the roles that women take on. i love her contributions, her intelligence, and independent brilliance. Here are a few of her most recent appearances.
Totally Obsessed xoxo, Love

Artist: Prince
Song: If I Was Your Girlfriend
Album: Sign O' The Times
Rating: "... even if that somebody was me, yayy hee-hee" P.s. I love his accessories in the video.
Song Facts:
Did you know that as successful as this song has become over the years it didn't chart well when it was first released?
Also it was noted that the songs female point-of-view was derived from the close relationship Prince's then girlfriend Susannah Melvoin had with best friend Wendy Melvoin.
Valentino Dresses
Jessica Biel was one of the red carpet standouts at the Golden Globes on Monday night in a glimmering beaded Valentino dress and intricate Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings — too bad that Hilary Swank also looked glam in the same “vintage” dress just 3 years ago at the 2004 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Did she not note Reese Witherspoon‘s Chanel dress mix-up from last year’s Globes? As for Valentino, reps for the house say “Valentino dresses are timeless and each woman brings to them her own interpretation. . .two beautiful actresses can be different and great even in the same dress.”
February 27th was the day of the Césars. The French Oscars have had their share of controversy (there was a viral video of Emma Thompson rescuing a lovely Miss with a serious wardrobe malfunction, on the very César stage!) but there’s also something fashionable to talk about!Diane Kruger was one of the presenters that night and she chose an interesting (to say the least about it!) dress for the occasion: Valentino! And not just any Valentino dress, a gown signed by Alessandra Facchinetti from the Spring 2009 Ready to Wear collection. (more images after the jump!)
The fashion world may have disapproved Alessandra’s collection, but here’s Diane saying different! The dress looked rather strange to my eyes, somewhat slouchy but it did raise my eyebrows and interested me in a way a classic dress wouldn’t have. How do you feel about this dress and Diane wearing it?
Versace Dresses Photos Gallery and Reviews
It’s official: Today’s luxury brands should not only boast accessories, fragrance, and home goods collections, they must also outfit their clients’ children. this explains the launch of Young Versace, a new range of kids’ clothes from Donatella and co. The line was launched Thursday at Pitti Bimbio, the trade show for baby clothes.So, what’s it look like? if you’re expecting lots of gold lamé and lycra, think again. The styles, made for newborns through 12 years, are quite sweet, with plenty of pastels. There’s an Alice in Wonderland-themed print on onesies and dresses, plus tiered skirts emblazoned with white, yellow, and pink micro-orchids. (If you are looking for a bit of bling, there’s a Swarovski crystal-studded baby bottle. seriously.)
And we love the scene set up at Pitti–which you can peep in the gallery below–particularly the Medusa-headed lollipops.
The collection hits stores next spring–can’t wait to see this look book.
Jennifer Lopez is one of the world-famous singer. Music and many of his songs that became hits. In addition given a beautiful voice, Jennifer Lopez also has a very sexy body. The dress worn by Jennifer Lopez always looks beautiful and charming.Jennifer Lopez had always noticed her dress to wear if you want to appear in an event. Of course, Jennifer Lopez did not want to perform with the casual dress. Surely she will perform with her ??best dress.
Let’s see Jennifer Lopez Beautiful and Riveting Dress on Red Carpet.Donatella keeps it simple and sexy with the Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 Collection. The collection features the flowing, floor-length, side-split gowns; or the clinging, thigh-grazing mini-dresses. The designs are full of daring cuts and striking colour pallets.
Angelina Jolie looks like she didn’t changed dresses from the Critics Choice Awards night. But she did. And she chose another nude-look for the 66th edition of the Golden Globes Awards.Her Atelier Versace sparkling dress matched (too much, if you ask me!) the Jimmy Choo satin sandals (same nuance as the dress). She changed her usual pearl jewelry with Platinum jewelry by Neil Lane. Keeping her makeup really simple, she makes a discreet yet impressive appearance on an overmakeup-ed, overaccessorized Red Carpet. Do you prefer Angelina’s simple look or her trademark black?

The highlight of the Versace men’s show at Milan Men’s Fashion Week yesterday was not the striped booty shorts or pink suits, it was Donatella — but isn’t she always the highlight, in a way? — taking her bow at the end wearing a Versace for H&M dress. Versace is the next big-name designer doing a line for the affordable chain, even though Donatella said in 2008 that she respects designers who do these lines but didn’t want to do one herself “because I work very hard to put the Versace line in the luxury section.I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand.” Perhaps to avoid confusion, H&M is billing the line as an “Iconic Collection.” Goes great with whatever deal she presumably struck to have the CFDA’s 2011 Fashion Icon, Lady Gaga, wear only Versace for the next couple of months.Photo: Courtesy of H&M
The collection will be big and include two rollouts, one on November 17 including men’s, women’s, and homewear, and another prespring collection on January 19. the line consists of “iconic” archive Versace pieces repurposed for H&M. more from H&M’s press release:
The womenswear collection will be dominated by dresses that express the spirit of the season, featuring studded leather, silk and colorful prints, and accessories including high heels and costume jewelry. the men’s collection will focus on sharp tailoring, including the perfect tuxedo, as well as belts and jewelry for men. for the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will include homeware pieces including pillows and bedspread.
H&M has not released any specific information on pricing, but that studded leather dress will not be H&M cheap. Versace cheap maybe, but not H&M cheap. so, who’s excited? Watch Donatella and H&M’s creative adviser Margareta van den Bosch discuss the collection in the video. Pretend like they didn’t misspell Donatella’s name Donnatella (maybe they just want a little more of her, like we all do).

Lady GaGa Hair Styles
At first glance Lady Gaga's bright pink feather-like hairstyle certainly catches the eye.But it's what's going on under her jacket that is of real interest.
The singer appeared to be completely naked as she stepped out yesterday in Copenhagen.
After listening to “Poker Face” one too many times this weekend, I started thinking about Lady Gaga. And then I started Googling Lady Gaga. And then I became obsessed. Of course, being outrageous is the singer’s schtick, but does she ever tone it down? According to my Googling, not really.Naturally stars dress ridiculously for the attention and to establish a persona. Furthermore, one person’s ridiculous is another person’s sense of style. However, even the most flashy artists are usually seen dressed like the average earthling every once in a while and I was determined to find these less unbelievable outfits of Lady Gaga.
You might believe that Lady Gaga’s meat dress is probably her top outrageous fashion statement. Well, close for some, far for others. Recently, she showed up in a dress made of a material most guys would dislike on a woman’s body. That’s right, she had a dress made out of hair.
When she showed up in a New York club wearing nothing but a cape made of hair and some fishnet tights, it made for some shocking news in the media. She confessed that sometimes she feels as insecure as any 24 years old girl. But then, she added she uses self encouragement for morale. “You’re Lady Gaga, get up and walk the walk!”, she says to herself.
Last night was the second night of Summer Sonic 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. There were a lot of great bands, but the act with the biggest hype was not the listed headliners Linkin Park or The Specials – not even close. The real star last night was Lady Gaga, or just “Gaga” as she’s known to her Japanese fans. Gaga’s dedicated fans started pushing their way to the front of the Sonic Stage several bands – and many hours – before Lady Gaga was scheduled to appear.
That’s right, there wasn’t just one Lady Gaga at her Tokyo gig – everywhere you looked, there were Japanese versions of Lady Gaga in brightly colored costumes, makeup, and of course hair bows. It was truly amazing.
Calvin Klein Models
The problem is > it has been my dealings with women that put me in this predicament in the first place. So you can see why I might be reluctant to acknowledge even the most enticing offer.If you whack a dog every time it comes to the trough, it will eventually stop coming, even tho it's hungry, and enjoys food.
There have been other, similar comments, tho probably too risqué to publish. Another girl mentioned that I look like I'd lost weight.
When life throws us a curve, some people respond by eating. I'm just the opposite. My appetite vanishes. When I finally do get hungry, two bites fill me up (stomach in knots). Consequently, I tend to drop weight during periods of stress.
I also exercise more (in an attempt to process those feelings of angst). My bike rides around the Back Bay have worked wonders in this area > therapy in motion. Gorgeous surroundings. Fresh air. Sunshine.
I most enjoy watching egrets in flight. Takes me away from my problems for a few poetic minutes. Almost makes me wanna cry.
I also tend to drink a lot of protein when stressed, cuz it's one of the few things I can easily stomach. So that tends to cut me up a little.
Do you want to know the secret to building a visually stunning body comparable to Calvin Klein models? Then forget just about everything you have ever learned about muscle building. I’m not kidding! I can almost guarantee you are receiving old and outdated approaches to fitness. Most workout programs are modeled around the huge bodybuilder mentality. Please understand…that “look” has been dead since the 80’s. Since your current workout routine will never sculpt a body like that of models displayed in magazines, there needs to be a major shift in thinking. Once again, this is why the models’ approach to fitness is much different than yours!
Calvin Klein models also have nice sized biceps and triceps with wide and ripped shoulders. It is important to notice how tapered their waists are. Having wide, broad, shoulders with a slim waist creates this sharp “V” in the upper body. This is extremely important for a model to have. Standing shoulder presses should be the foundational exercise to create this desired look. You really can’t have shoulders that are too large but make sure you don’t incorporate exercises like shrugs or upright rows. These two exercises do a great job of adding mass to your neck and trap muscles. You don’t want this as a model! Mass in this area takes away from your wide shoulders and creates a more rounded look.
