OBAMA AND VOGUE


Since the campaign began Fashionistas around the globe have been extremely impressed by Michelle's non traditional wardrobe choices. Bright colors, fitted skirts, and sleeveless tops to name a few. So it shouldn't be shocking to hear news of Vogue Magazine requesting Michelle for the cover. I cant wait to see the ensembles created for this lovely goddess. Trust, as soon as I get word of the photo shoot leak, I will post for all to see! Stay Tuned!

ACID WASH


This particular trend dropped about 5 months ago when A.Keys decided to rock a pair during her visit on 106&PARK and Rhianna went the safe route and chose a jacket instead. Personally, I'm feeling this one guys. I know its a little risky being that it is 2009 and not 1984, but I feel drawn to this one. I am surprised I haven't seen anyone wearing these yet. Then again, I haven't seen them in any department stores. I tried looking for them in thrift shops, but by the time you spend money altering them, you could have bought a brand new pair (maybe two). I would love to see these jeans out and about. If you have a pair, send your photo to my inbox and I will feature you on my blog site!

DESIGNING WITH LEANNE


Leanne Marshall is the latest winner from Project Runway. She grew up like your typical nerd in high school. She looked weird, dressed weird, and pretty much stayed to herself. She recently had an interview with ELLE Mag, and spoke about the baggy skater pants and "old man" shirts she wore daily throughout the halls of her high school. She was the kid that stood out from the crowd and believed enough in herself to not give a crap. Being normal is nothing to strive for. Its the abnormality that creates today's top fashion designers. Aside from her present fame, the girl's line is SICK! The detailing of each garment is out of this world! Feel free to browse her site for the entire collection.

MICHAEL ANTONIO



When I think of my dream shoe collection this upcoming season, I think of Mr. Michael Antonio. I sort of stumbled upon this designer last year while building my Fall/Winter shoe collection. After months of shopping, I noticed one day that my closet was filled with these really chic pink and black shoe boxes. Each shoe from this color coded box in my closet, quickly became my favorites. I was subconsciously paying this guy's auto insurance monthly without realizing it( I mentioned auto insurance instead of mortgage because regardless of the complex designs, his line is extremely inexpensive). If you are looking to stand out on a serious budget, look no further! This line definitely has my stamp of approval. Enjoy!

ALLERGIC TO LATEX


I was so excited when these babies hit the market in 08. If you know me, you know that I adore the Punk Era. I didnt rush out and grab the trendy latex out of fear of looking like Rhianna, so I decided to sit this one out (thank God). This trend quickly became a "must have" item for the Fall. According to the streets, if you dont own a pair your not HOT. Well, I'm here to let everyone know that ITS OVER! Yep, this trend account has been closed due to a tremendous amount of overdrafts. Dont be discouraged, luckily for you, Fashion repeats itself. This trend will be back on the runways in about 5 years, so hold on to them and cross your fingers!

NEW YEAR


Hello my fellow Fashion folks. I thought long and hard about restarting my fashion blog this year. I had faith that my fellow Americans will be able to survive the upcoming fashion season with no assistance. Man, was I wrong! So, I decided to drop a little knowledge this year so that we are all on the same page. Enjoy!
