Best Dressed 2012!

31 Dec

Another year has come and gone and fashion’s elite have made their mark, some great and some not so great!  Celebrities and socialites have paraded their ensembles for us to swoon over and have sent us to the mall on numerous occasions trying to replicate what we’ve seen.  At the end of the year, I usually can narrow it down to my top 5 fashion crushes, not this time…..  This year  7 fashionistas are deserving of this honor!

What does it take to make my best dressed list?  Being original, confident, fashion forward and rockin’ your own style throughout every season and looking great while doing it!

Fall Preview: My Favorite Fall Trends

9 Aug

I couldn’t be more excited about Fall,  it’s my favorite time of year for fashion and I feel like I’m able to really dive into my wardrobe.  I love coats, boots, rich colors, texture, layering, bold accessories, you name it!  Every year I look forward to the upcoming season,  some years are better than others and this year is GREAT!!!!!  I am so excited to shop these amazing looks and even more excited to wear them.  As you know I do not believe in “fashion rules” and I feel like sometimes trends are exactly that; a trend, while other trends last far into the next season and stay in your closet for years (those are my favorite kind).  I also know that certain trends are not for everyone, with that being said I will only be discussing trends that I love in this post!  If you have money to blow, splurge a little but by no means do you need a Fat bank account to be styling’ this Fall.  Let’s get to the fashion!!!!!!!

Anna Wintour to put Lady Gaga on Fall Cover

17 Jun

Rumor has it Anna Wintour is putting Lady Gaga on the most coveted cover in all of fashion, Vogue‘s September issue!  Is it true??????  Sounds like a dream

shoot to me!  Last time Gaga graced the March 2011 Vogue cover, it was the second best-selling issue that year. I think she’ll get the #1 spot this time.
