A Color for Soft Pink: Glamour Mag's Woman of the Year

Lastnight our favorite walking style "now talking" mannequin was honored, along with other fabulous women, by Glamour magazine as 2009 Woman of the Year.

Rihanna looked UBER fabulous!!! Some of the bloggers ragged on her for this dress but this dress is DOPE!!!!

Rihanna is serving it in this gown.  I love the orgami details... some of the best details of this dress is the sheer back, exposed zipper and small pockets.... yo this dress is soooo dope!!!!

Miss Thang was spotted hitting up an after party in another godess flowy soft pink- skin tone frock and some red bottoms to match!

Rihanna is rocking the new trend that we seen during the Spring/Summer 2010 runways... Sheer!!! *dont say I aint never tell yall the fashion scope....lol *

Both of these looks are stunning!

Ok so was there a call for nude/skin tone/soft pink for this Glamour Event.

My brownskin Twin * I heart Kerry- she is undispputedly dope*  Tho I have seen her look way better- Kerry opt for the soft pink/nude hue and light fresh makeup.

June Ambrose also opt for the night's favorite hue.  June rocked a short pink embellished number.  June loves her platform pumps- June rocked an updated mary jane.... NIIICCEEEE.

*LEGS ARE THE NEW CLEAVAGE*

Tyra "it's all about me" Banks rocked a nude tone structured form fitting dress.  I chose this pic of Tyra becuase she looks like a mannequin- i actually like this robotic pic... her hair is gorg- i like the swoop bun

Lastly super model beauty Iman... I love this short number but HATE the green belt.... maybe if it was a different color... maybe a pretty grey or... just another color...

Fabulous borwn chicks... I love it!!!!

I want ot get dressed up and go out.... maybe this weekend or the near weekend- me and the girls can get dressed up in frocks and 5inches and hit the town... 'Sex and The City' style!!!!

Style Shoot: I HEART THIS PHOTO SHOOT

I heart this Photo Shoot!

I love the idea of not dressing up but at the same time looking uber CHIC!

I feel a connection to this shoot because I do not see myself as the uber fashionista who dresses up EVERYDAY!!! But in some alternate universe I try to stay chic in my jeans, riding boots, or oversized shirts.

In every photo shoot- there is always a theme, a message the stylist tries to send the on-looker- in this photo shoot I see many messages-

The idea of the shoot was to pair your oversized/ boyfriend-ish pieces matched with extra feminine pieces.

Over layering your jewelry is another message. Don’t only wear one type of chain bracelet… pile on a couple more and do the same on the other wrist.

Did someone say “socks”?

Create an uniform and don’t forget your socks. Keep it chic, cute and different and wear your to-the-knee socks with your peep toes, ankle boots, round-toe pumps and platform sandals.

I know you are thinking to yourself…. She looks a mess… but there is a way to translate this outfit to a wearble chic number….

Ok lets take one of the looks….

Clearly the center point of this look is the green army jacket.  Here is a cute one from Old Navy- very feminine with the belt and oversized collar.  Pairing a vertical stripe sweater with a pleated shirt (do not have to be plaid- tired to search for a navy skirt) lace peep toe ankle boots and contrast color socks (not striped- doing waaay too much).  Adding the fedora and geek chic specs and animated scarf to conplete the look.  Now this is wearable.  A great update to the collegiate unifrom look.  

Next time you are looking through your favorite mags and see the editorial photo shoot- try to decode the message and use it as inspiration to creat your own look :)

(ppssstt... I do this allt he time)

Style Mag: Rihanna Galore

I picked up my copy of Glamour yesterday with Rihanna on the cover and made a bash sprint to the cover story.
She is finally speaking up and I'm so happy.

I'm pretty sure you guys read the article already- EVERY BLOGGER HAS SPOTTED IT (Sheeesh... that's another thought) - I will spare you and talk about what she had on!!!
It's not because I don't care what she had to say, because I do... the article was good- I felt she kept it safe, but of course, she had to.  It's actually none of our business- I feel, its an embarrassing situation her and her boyfriend at the time had to go thru.  I'm not condonning domestic violence, they both need counseling- but I do believe good came out of the situation.
Now back to what she had on.....

I'm a jewelry feind these days.... and the cuffs Rihanna has on are to DIE for!!!

This laid back look is very doable girls- men's oversized top paired with a sexy spin- PINK lips, uber fem necklace and leggings.

I love that Rihanna, while sporty very HIGH fashion pieces continued to look her AGE, fresh faced, and fabulous!!!

What do you think? do you like RihRih's shoot?
