Lanvin at H&M

 Fun window dressings!!

Happy shoppers (including myself) waiting in line.


Tutu style Lanvin dresses.

Red Hot-My lucky find, the last 8 in the store.


Lanvin finally arrived at H&M today and although I didn't stand outside in a long line for the 8am stampede at the Beverly Center, the store was still jammed packed at 3 o'clock when I arrived. The dresses that were left were a bit too over the top for me but I'm happy to say I lucked out and got the last pair of red patent leather studded pumps!!


Did anyone make it to H&M today?? If so, did you find anything good??

Hot Fashion Trend: Turbans

Salma Hayek


Jason Wu Spring 2010



As a child, I remember my grandmother sporting stylish turbans to our weekly trips to the grocery store. She had such great style and I'm sure I get it from her and my mother. :-)

Turbans have been around forever but seems they are emerging again on the runway and about town with panache.  Whether your rocking it bohemian style or black tie, you're sure to turn heads.

Would you rock a turban??

Sassy Shoe Saturdays






I call these darlings, Witchy Poo boots and they are absolutely fab.  I love the suede, ruffles and that they lace up.  Would look great with an LBD just to add flair and edge!

Vintage Black Beauty: Jayne Kennedy


Growing up in the 70's, I remember seeing Jayne Kennedy on different shows such as Sanford & Son,  Wonder Woman and The Love Boat and thought she was so beautiful; who could forget her gorgeous mane?

Born as Jane Harrison, she was the first African American to win the title of  Miss Ohio USA in 1970 and was one of the 15 semi-finalists in the 1970 Miss USA pageant. It was rare for an African American woman at that time to be in the contest but Jayne changed all of that and she was the first woman to co host The NFL Today.

In those Jeans




Jeans are a staple in my wardrobe because they are so chic, stylish yet comfortable!  The versatility of jeans are immense and I love pairing them with classic pieces such as a crisp white blouse and some fun jewelry.

What is your wardrobe staple???
