R.I.P Alexander McQueen!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a long week and with all the snow I got down at my end , I am happy to finally be going out again!!! I will be running some errands and shopping for a client of mine that will be leaving for Rome in March :) Yesterday as some of us may have heard Alexander McQueen a popular fashion designer passed away. Though some people have cited his death as a suicide no one actually knows yet. This is a SAD time in fashion , I had blogged about some of his designs in the past and his fashion sense and style will be missed! A lot of celebrities took to their twitter yesterday to express their disbelief and sadness. I am not sure if they will still show his collection at NY Fashion week ( which started yesterday). Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones!

Have a wonderful V- Day!!!

Monday :)

Happy Monday!

Hey everyone :) a new week has arrived woo woo. I'm patiently waiting till March , end of March to be exact so I can get my iPad! ;) I don't care what anyone says. It does all the things I need and being that I don't have an iPhone or iPod touch it would be perfect. I played around on my girls iPhone last night , I must admit if not for the dozens of contacts on my BBM I would have gladly traded my Blackberry for an iPhone.

I have been wanting an e-reader for a while now and to be honest I didn't even know it existed till I saw it on Onada's blog LOL.... I love reading books though, James Patterson , Jackie Collins , John Grisham etc. I am also looking for new authors to read , so the e-reader portion of the iPad made me one happy potential buyer :)

As we all know by now Who Dat Nation is ECSTATIC! Congrats to New Orleans!!! I mean as you all know ( or for those who don't) I am a SERIOUS Eagles fan , however we need to put in some serious work. We have been to the playoffs 8 times in the last 10 years and no SUPER BOWL WIN!! So when my teams chances were cut :s naturally I choose an alternate team hehe , which was the New Orleans. No offense to the Colts who I think is an amazing team as well , but New Orleans needed this more. Manning & Co already have one under their belt , heck the Eli and Peyton both have rings so I wanted the underdogs to have this.

As we should all know this lol , Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have the spotlight this week. Literally every blog , gossip , entertainment website is talking about them lol. Last night after the Super bowl when my fav commentators on the NFL network were talking to Reggie and Porter of course Kim had to get her spotlight and lurk behind , they eventually called her up to speak. However , under her name they put "Model" Kim is no model , she is a reality tv star in my opinion who is riding the wave from her tape that made her so famous. I gotta admit though the girl has style so whatever rocks her boat lol.

Now for the rest of this week I plan to save at least $50 towards my savings challenge that I am taking part in over at Onada's blog. I have come up with my "wishlist" for 2010. I am always so busy being mom and wife , that sometimes I have little or no time for me! So I have decided to write down 12 of my absolute fav things I want this year and buy at least 1 item each month. Its time to take care of "Me". I will blog about every item I buy on my wishlist :) so stay tuned to see this months buy.

Lastly , I want to start a reader style watch! , I want you the readers to send me pictures of anything you think is fashionable or that you just love and I will post it up on my blog. I have my first one to put up soon. A friend of mine was shopping in Zara and saw the cutest trench coat. He sent me a picture and I plan to blog about it! Don't forget when you send it to me you have to tell me why you love it !

Other than that I will be working hard on my clients ,working at WHBM this week and think about what I will do for the Hubby this Valentines day :)

What will you all be up too this week ?

CL = SIZZLING HOT!

Hey Everyone,

It's Nikki here and can I just say TGIF!

This past Wednesday Fantasia was on Oprah! Yay! I loveee Fantasia , I love her powerhouse voice. I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform in concert before and I am looking forward to when she comes out with her new album. I hope she goes on tour because I will definitely be going to see her. She performed her new single "Even Angles" which I have already downloaded on itunes lol.

So I must give kudos to Fantasia's stylist because she is looking amazing :) and when looking at her shoes that day I was wondering why do they look so familiar ? lol I mean I don't own them ( I wish) but then I remembered that I saw the shoes while I was browsing the Neiman Marcus website with my mom when she was around and I fell in love those shoes! When ever does Christian Louboutin fail ? Never! one day I will own a pair though :) .

$1045

As I obviously can't afford them hahaha I will def be looking for a parallel universe to buy these from and will let you all know when I find a pair.

Don't forget to check out Fantasia new single "Even Angels" and her VH1 Reality Show!

I am also pleased to say that I will be starting two types of categories on my blog , I am going to have a readers style watch and a client lookbook! so excited so stay tuned.

We heart PINK !

Hey Everyone ,

It's Nikki firstly, I have to say am SO SORRY! I have been working from our DE office all week and haven't had time to update our blog :) . I know all of us have seen the Grammy Awards but my intern wrote a great piece on PINK and I thought I should post it up :) LOVE PINK! Especially her very first album that was a hot one.

Our 5 Spring Must haves will be up this weekend! If you are expecting tons and tons of snow like I will be then stay safe , warm and come check out what you MUST HAVE for spring :) Now on to Emily below :)

xoxoNikki

Hi Everyone,

It's Emily!

Let's talk about Pink at the Grammys-

I was lucky enough to catch Pink's Funhouse Tour when she was in Philadelphia last year. It was wild, absolutely the best! Anyway, I was looking forward to seeing her at the Grammys. Wanted to see what she would sing and of course what would she be wearing! Pink did not disappoint me on the red carpet. Her crystal-encrusted Tony Ward Haute Couture gown and over $2.5 million-worth of Neil Lane diamond jewelry made her look Hollywood glam. During the show, her performance of “Glitter in the Air” (while wet and on a trapeze) was stunning. It also brought back memories of the concert where I watched her perform the same act in her finale. As I said, it was an unbelievable concert! At the end of Sunday night Pink went home without any Grammys, but her talent and style will always make her a winner to me and her many other fans.

Till next time!

xoxoEmily

Let's talk Grammy Awards!

Hey Everyone,

Let's talk Grammys ! The Grammy awards took place Jan 31st 2010 , I was impressed , amused and disappointed at the same time. Lady Gaga cracks me up!!!! she is so hilarious with her eccentric , no sense making outfits but hey I guess we can agree that is her trademark LOL.

I was impressed with Beyonce's outfit on the red carpet but wasn't too impressed with the dress she later changed into ( however, I did like the outfit during her performance). Congrats to her because she won 6 Grammy awards , so kudos to her!!! . Miley Cyrus looked quite chic in her Max Azria piece that she wore , it is definitely my style. I was super impressed with how Jennifer Hudson looked! She is wearing a piece from Victoria Beckham's collection which flatters her in all the right places. Fergie looked amazing as well in the electric blue /cobalt color I liked it! Celine n Beyonce looked some what similar but I will take Celine's outfit over Beyonce just a tad bit too much chest for me :). Rhianna was wearing a gorgeous dress from Elie Saab who I just wrote a post on his fab spring 2010 collection. The beautiful white color looked amazing on her , got me thinking could I ever pull of white so fabulously ? If I do plan to wear any white dresses it will be from the The White Dress Shop , they have some affordable gorgeous pieces! Now , we have the big winner yesterday Taylor Swift kudos to her for winning the album of the year. I do think she is extremely talented , after all she sold like over a million records last year. I also plan on putting a few on my ipod , do you think she should have won album of the year ? Taylor Swift opted for a gorgeous Kaufman Franco dress it was age appropriate and looked stunning on her!

NYC!! :)

Hey Everyone,

This is Emily and as promised , I'm going to talk about my recent visit to New York. My friend Vicki and I went to New York City a few weeks ago to see a play and check out the stores. The play Wicked was amazing!! If you every get the opportunity to see it you should go. Who knew the characters from The Wizard of Oz were so complex! After our matinee we stopped by Macy's, Saks 5th Avenue and, just for fun, F.A.O. Schwartz.

Everywhere we went we saw hot, bold neon colors. Some of my favorites were Rachel Roy’s Draped Ribbon Dress in hot pink, Jimmy Choo’s cute Caesar sandals in neon yellow and pink, the Plasteramic neon watch collection from Toy Watch and Ray-Ban’s hot royal blue Propionate Aviator Sunglasses. Unfortunately I spent all my money on the play so I was only allowed to window shop. But I will be going back to the stores soon to buy something in neon. I believe the key to wearing neon colors is one piece at a time; no one wants to look like a neon sign. So, get out there and pick up a neon dress, shoe or accessory. Start soon and you will appear very fashion forward!

Watch out for our spring must have list next week :)

Jersey Shore - Intermission :)

Hey everyone,

This is Kirsten with a brief intermission post :) and its for all of you Jersey Shore fans!! After mixed signals from Jersey Shore fans, whether they would like to see a 2^nd season of the realty MTV hit series show Jersey Shore, it was just recently reported that the cast will be coming back to film a 2^nd season. The cast has accepted MTV’s offer of 10,000 an episode after the cast rejected the initial offer of 5,000. Some natives of New Jersey aren’t exactly enthusiastic of the show airing a 2^nd season by saying, “we don’t act like the way we are portrayed in the show by the Jersey Shore cast, we call them beanies!” What do you think? Did MTV get ripped off by offering the cast 10,000 an episode?

What did you all think of the Grammys last night ? We have a fun post coming soon.

xoxKirsten.
