Mag Love: Marie Claire, Elle, Glamour,and Harper's Bazaar

Hey Stylistas,

Some of my fav mags are out and I'm going to pick up my monthly package of magazines today.

Jessica, Jennifer, Ashley, and Leighton, all cover this month's favorite fashion mags.
All rocking the Fall Must Have trends.

I went through Top Shop to give you inspiration pieces to get your Mag cover style.

America's Sweetheart Jennifer Aniston is posing in a very sexy leather bustier and a hot motorcycle inspired white jacket.

Jennifer looks HOT in this new issue of Elle. "The Lonely Girl" is looking uber fab and I love the Leather jacket.

Top Shop - Leather Jacket

Newly single Jessica Simpson is looking cute in her sequin blazer. This is a Fall Must Have for me.

Jessica is rocking a cute trench coat in one of her photos. The trench coat is also a Must Have for the wardrobe and Fall.

Top Shop- Petite Bow back trench coat

My fav twin Ashley Olsen looks adorably cute on the cover of Marie Claire. She talks about her twin and and her secrets... shhhhhhh

I love the soft pink hues in Ashley's photo spread. The fantasy romantic look is a trend for this coming Fall.

Top Shop- Lace tiered Bolero

Our fav Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is on the cover of Harper's Bazaar this month looking very un-gossip girl like, but very cute nonetheless.

The LBD is a Must Have, but TopShop has a great update to the LBD with exaggerated shoulders. This is soooo 80's!!!! LOVE IT!!!


Top Shop- Cosmic Shoulder Dress

Magazines are your best source to get inspired! Each month I spend at least $60 dollars on fashion mags just for inspiration.

Get your copy!

Mag Love: Drake for Fader

Hey People,

It is gorgeous outside today, I hope everyone is out styling, soaking up this DOPE weather. I'm stuck at work, but I will be enjoying it later today...

With that said let's begin.

Drake made the cover of Fader Magazine this month! YAAAYYY!!!

That's poppin'! "Buzz so big, I can probably sell a blank disc".... (I know that was corny... hahah)

Congrats to Drake. He is actually one of my fav rappers right now.

Speaking of Drake I love his style.

Drake has a laid back style. I'm feeling it.

I love the Urban spin on the "Mr. Rogers look". He loves his cardigans and dark shades.

I've noticed Drake has been consistently rocking label Comme des Garcons.

The horizontal stripes are risky but I love this simple look with the Air Jordans.

I see Drake is a heavy supporter of Comme des Garcons.

Signature logo tee

Comme des Garcon Red Play T-shirt.

Comme des Garcon Red Play Cardigan

Head over to Doverstreetmarket and see whats up fellas.

Ladies check these out!

I heart these!

You can get these over at Saks.

Until Next time

Fall Fashion Buzz: The Gap

Hey people!

I have the skinny on the Gap’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection, and I'm sooo very impressed!!!!

I remember once upon a time I lived in the Gap. I stood by it, it was my “Go To” store. But on a 5 year span the Gap has been producing eehhhhh pieces- not inspiring, the fit was wack and it was too basic, but the Gap is here to reclaim its spot.

This Fall season, still with an American Style feel to it, this collection has an European influence. That’s dope- because I will always say, Europeans have the best style.
"The collection has the sensibility of an American in Europe," Robinson says. "Its origins are in a pure American style, with a strong European influence."

This will be the second autumn collection under Gap's head of design, Patrick Robinson. Great move thus far!

Check out some of the looks...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the over sized cardigans.

A chunky heel boot- will set me style free!

These shearling lined boots are dope!!!

I LOVE this grunge reject/bad boy styling they are doing with the boys. Very Euro. I'm feeling it.

Key items for women: the washed silk T-shirt, ombré merino sweaters, mannish blazers and pleat-front pencil skirt sweater.

Key items for men: the leather jacket, dark denim, over sized cable scarves and the pea coat.

Gap is still sticking to their Roots and that is their love for Denim. The execution is great, I love that denim puffer vest!

Gap has collaborated with Pierre Hardy and Albertus Swanepoel for autumn/winter accessories. "Pierre Hardy's platform boot shape and winter sandals add drama, in soft sage green and grey tones, while Albertus Swanepoel has designed pretty cloche hats in denim and felt," adds Robinson.

Are you guys sold on the new Gap collection?

I can not wait!

Until Next Time
same time tomorrow

Rachel Zoe is Back

With all this Rachel Zoe talk, don’t forget to tune in for the second season of ‘The Rachel Zoe Project’ premiering Aug 24th @ 10PM on Bravo.

I have to get my Tivo poppin’. Last season was soooo good, I’m looking forward to this season. I can’t wait to see what catch phrases Zoe plants on us this time around.

Expect cameos from fashion elites like Diane Von Furstenberg, Karl Lagerfeld, Liv Tyler, just to name a few. This season we get footage from Zoe’s Paris visits…. This should be good. The best style is in Paris!!! Can’t wait to see the inspiration.

Check out the trailor for this season’s “The Rachel Zoe Project”.



I wonder if Taylor and Brad get along in this season… hmmmm….
Enjoy stylistas

Until next time

Your Daily Dose to Rachel Zoe: 'The Zoe Report'

Hey Stylistas,

Hope everyone is well and looking fabulous in their stylish digs, take an umbrella with you tonight your commute home might be a wet one…

With that said let’s begin….

I’m very excited to learn that Rachel Zoe has finally launched her Daily newsletter titled ‘The Zoe Report’ . I heard this awhile back, but just learned the official launch was yesterday, August 4th.

‘The Zoe Report’ encompasses Zoe’s current obsessions in the beauty/fashion/accessory world.
This should be fun. I heart Zoe. She is one of my fav stylists in the game.

To sign up for your daily dose of Zoe click here.
I’ve checked out the first newsletter and I’m totally SOLD!!!

The ‘Ask Rachel’ column is brilliant- she will answer all your styling questions via twitter.

At the end of every post, there is a section called “Parallel Universe” where she gives you a cheaper equivalent to her fashion obsession- you know she has hella expensive taste…

Me likey!

The recessionista would praise her for it, and the fashionista might turn their noses. I wonder if her designer pals would get mad at her for promoting inspirations (I dare not say knock-offs) of their creations…. Hmmmm…. (Did I just rhyme?? Haha)

What do you guys think? I love the idea of the ‘Parallel Universe', she is connecting with her ALL her fans who share a common interest… FASHION!
I Die!- in the Zoe voice

I will post her first newsletter for you guys later on.

Until Next time
Same place tomorrow

Dope Mag Covers: Keri and Kid Cudi for Complex

Hey stylish people,

For the August/September issue, Complex took an animated approach to their covers.

Designer SO-ME puts a creative twist to the cover Keri Hilson graces, while graffiti artist Augor is responsible Kid Cudi's cover.

Both covers are pretty dope!

I see Mags are stepping out of the box to sell more issues.
I dig!

Kid Cudi is rocking two hot Must Haves in this August/September issue.
The G-Shock watch and Yeezy's overly expensive LV kicks. I can't deny it, these kicks are tough!!!

Dear Kanye,
Please lower the price of your LV kicks so Real people can afford them. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Chee

Keri Hilson shares the cover with Kid Cudi



These shots of Keri is sexy and sooo Keri stylicious!
pairing funking tights with pumps and sexy swimsuits.
I'm digging it!

Once I find out what her shoes are I will let you know ladies... but the shoes are dope!

If anyone know, please spill!!!

I can't wait to pick up my Complex issue.

Until next time
