Cover of the Month

For two months straight W 's cover is my favorite. Nicole's ethereal beauty contrasted with Daniel's rugged handsomeness is striking. I was temped to see Casino Royale solely for Daniel but, decided to abstain until the movie hits cable.

My least favorite cover is Vogue.

Renee is a beautiful woman. The simple grey sweater is supposed to highlight this. But, it's to bland for the cover of Vogue. February's newstand Bazaar was too similar to the Oct. 06 Mischa Barton cover for me.

Although, the subscriber cover is beautiful. I tend to favor Bazaar's subscriber covers. They are a bit less mass market and more high fashion. Like the W cover, Bazaar is contrasting the ethereal (Drew's dress) with rugged handsomeness (the city).

Fun Link

This Week's Best Dressed Sponsored by the People at Vogue and Style.com. Kate is at number one where she should be. Reese's and her yellow dress are number two. I loved the dress the yellow in a sea of white and black was beautiful, just not for that event. It was too short. Also she looks like a generic tanorexic with the straight hair and new weight loss. I guess she was trying to prove she's ok without Ryan. Jennifer Hudson is number 3. This is great I hope to see her in Vogue or W soon. Although she isn't stick thin Jennifer can still maintain the fantasy that magazines are about. http://www.style.com/vogue/bestdressed/012307

Juicy

When Juicy 1st came out I bought a knock off suit from New York and Company. This was a time in my life when I didn't know the difference or care. I also wanted a jean suit and wore Baby Phat Jeans...but i've tried to erase that period from my mind. A couple of years ago I started jonesing for the real suit. Not in the horrid Cali powder blue or bubble gum pink but a proper New York navy or black. This winter I finally got the suit. Although I usually am not a sporty dresser, I feel comfy and stylish in my Juicy.

Sometimes I care about getting the original/Sometimes I don't. I have an imitation of this jacket. They have some other cute products. I saw these at Nordstrom Rack. I decided to pass $190 on sale.

Their Jewelry is cute and surprisingly affordable. But
sometimes their branding is over the top.

Fur

I don't care what PETA says fur is glam. I think the animals understand the starlets have to please the masses.

Tyra Controversy

Tyra has been criticized allot for her recent weight gain and she's fighting back. Although I think this is rather hypocritical. She berates the media's standard of beauty on her talk show and then promotes it on Top Model. Although, this may have changed since I stopped watching the show seasons ago. When I 1st saw the photo of Tyra I figured that the poor angling added weight. I still believe the original swimsuit photo misrepresented her. Some bloggers believe the People cover was altered to make her look slimmer. I doubt it. If someone used photoshop to make me look slimmer, I would have chopped of more than that.

Travel In Style

After looking at this recent picture of Hilary Duff all over the glossies and blogs I want to write about luggage. Look like a jetsetter with the Vuitton Damier (below) or Hillary's Monogram.


LeSport Sac + LV is a masterful display of high low. She makes Louie look young and fresh.

I also like that she's daring to be a brunette in Hollywood where everyone is blond. It makes her look mature and less bubble gum. At the airport I almost had any envy attack when i saw someone check a Gucci suitcase. This is a briefcase I've been eyeing... I would never actually travel with a luxury bag until I can fly in a private jet for fear it would be stolen. This fashionista isn't paranoid, Lil' Kim got her Louie luggauge stolen at the airport.

The height of lux travel Goyard

This patent roller is adorable.
Betsyville roller/tote. I'm not a fan of her work but I know some who love her.

Designer Jeans

Seven jeans came on the scene in 2000. They revived the luxury denim trend. Their brand has spun off numerous luxury brands all aiming to draw customers with pockets and stitching that scream "I PAID MONEY FOR THIS I'M BETTER THAN YOU." I wanted

to participate in this trend but couldn't b/c the jeans were so low that only half of my Beyonce sized butt fit into the jeans...believe it my old roommate has a picture of me with half of my butt hanging out of her Sevens. At a questionable store in Harlem I snagged a pair of Trues...turns out the Trues were false. They fit poorly and I felt embarrassed wearing fakes. I wanted to participate in the trend so badly that I purchased men's True Religion jeans. Which only required some rolling to fit which was OK b/c rolling was in. At least there was no crack cleavage.

I found some used citizens for $8 and purchased them despite the fact I could barely walk in them...let alone sit down. As of now I'm over designer jeans.

Except these b/c they are adorable and Victoria is a style goddess.The logo here is an object not a letter or squiggly line. I sold all the ill fitting jeans and am thinking about selling the men's Trues b/c they aren't flattering. Let's be honest low rise and wiskering does a number on a girl's thighs. Kate has moved on from "ad jeans". As Kate goes so goes the world. These are my favorite jeans. I got them at a mall in Jersey for $9 when visiting a friend during Thanksgiving. Good memories, crack coverage, and a great price. The perfect match.

I also think this pair from old navy is cute.

*Note to men: Unless you are trying to attract another man, please don't EVER wear designer jeans. It looks like your trying too hard which is never cute. A nice pair of Levis are hot. The only exception is Diesil. For some reason these are OK.
