Black lace and leather together

Not exactly sure who these two are but I love the look of the chick in black. That skirt is just great and the hosiery and heels are wonderful! I love this mixed looks. The skirt is amazing and paired with those heels is very cool!

VB is definite stylista!

Regardless of what they say Victoria Beckham is definately a stylista! I love the look of this dress; not only is it sexy the cut is so comfy and elegant. Wonder if this is one of her designs.

Ugly Betty's gone

Finally I am catching up on the final season of Ugly Betty. I missed it whilst abroad. It's shown of course in Europe but never had the time to watch it. Good final season and really going to miss the elegance of Wilhemina Slater.
I loved this show but I too think it was time for an end.

Norma Kamali @ Wal-Mart--oh my!

I am really enjoying the collection of Norma Kamali
fashions for Wal-Mart. Very impressive looks that have loads of style,
trend and quality. So far I have only one piece
but still searching more great deals.
I love it when designers share
there talent with discount stores and the
great thing about the NK collection is that
it's not overpriced like some collections designers have
done for stores like Target.
This one is super rich in look and you don't have to
be super rich to afford it.

New Music-Rihanna

Just got the new Rihanna Loud CD. Came out this week. It's really good. One of my faves is Drink to That. Love the vibe of it. I'm also feelin' this Fading with the Enyaish sound to it. She always gives the best in her music. Now I gotta go back and get Rated R. Not so sure about this red head thing and no clothes.

Matisse

I just heard this cool song this morning on the Wendy Williams show.
It's by a singer called Matisse and the song is called, Better than Her.
Love the beat. Has a very Madonnish 80s sound about it.

Finding Louise Roe

I just discovered Louise Roe this morning on Nate Berkus. I love her fascinating mix of British and American styles and thought.


10 Ways to feel fabulous on a budget

1. Snap up designer diffusion lines the second they go on sale – H&M, Target and Forever21 make the best designer and celebrity collaborations, and - here’s a heads up - often sneakily put them out on racks a day before the advertised launch date.

2. Wear a hat. Not a beanie, but a proper hat. Trilbys, Fedoras and Bowlers add instant chic, elegance and intrigue to a plain outfit.

3. Throw a tea-party. Pick up an old tea stand at the flea market, bake a cake, cut the crusts off sandwiches, make your friends dress up (think Charlotte-style from SATC) and enjoy an afternoon of inexpensive, old-fashioned glamour.

4. Put aside two hours to watch an Audrey Hepburn movie, alone, with a large glass of red wine.

5. Cut bangs into your hair, paint your nails chocolate brown and slick on red lipstick. An instant new, ladylike you.

6. Buy last-minute, standing tickets to the opera. They’re very cheap, and it still sounds the same!

7. Sit in a posh hotel lobby to people-watch and just soak up the atmosphere. I’m obsessed with Claridges in London, The Sunset Tower in LA, and The Waldorf Astoria in New York…but every city’s got a good few!

8. Always wear expensive perfume. Whiz through the department store, spritz, and leave with as many samples as they’ll hand out.

9. Dress up to the max with a friend and spend the afternoon trying on clothes at designer boutiques. (Discreetly) take a Polaroid camera. Many stores even serve free champagne while you’re in the changing room too.

10. De-clutter your bedroom, iron your sheets, sprinkle lavender water on them, and put fresh flowers in a vase. A lot closer to a 5* hotel than it was before.
