White Dress in the City

One of my favorite outfits from SATC2 is the opening scene when Carrie comes out of her building in the Halston Heritage white dress.

 

 

Christian Louboutin- $595

The original dress is a dress by Halston Heritage that will run you about $325.00

Aside from the Dress and the shoes, the accessories include a Chanel Clutch and a Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace.The dress and shoes alone will cost about $920.00.

 

If your feeling sexy in the city but don’t have the cash flow to spend like Carrie, XOXO makes a similar dress and Dolce Vita makes cool gold pumps:

 

XOXO White Dress- Amazon.com- $44.99

 Pumps by Dolce Vita $59-$128 Amazon.com

 

Good luck finding your fashion inspirations!

Alexander McQueen… Dead

My last post on Monday was about the fabulous designer Alexander McQueen. It was my first time covering the designer and I just heard the news that he was found dead in his London home on February 11th. He definitely has inspired many to be creative and artistic and know no boundaries when it comes to fashion. Just my little tribute to Mr. McQueen, your fashion will live on.

“I wish I was a little bit taller…”

I’ve been meaning to write a post about the crazy ass shoes we have all seen Lady Gaga wear. I’m not writing this post to tell ya’ll to get yourself a pair of 10 inch heels but to let you know that I’m inspired to chunkify my shoes or just get a pair of really funky, tall heels.

The shoes that I’m talking about are by designer Alexander Mcqueen, who stunned the fashion world in Paris, after his runway models strutted their stuff  in 10-12 inch heels!

And of course none other than the queen of fashion statement herself, Lady Gaga, had no problem showing them off in videos like Bad Romance.

Please be aware that adding 10 inches to your soles is dangerous and you may not look too hot falling down a flight of stairs. I hope I’ve inspired you to add a few extra inches, after all that is the purpose.

Good luck shoe whores lovers!

I haven’t met one person that is not a fan of the very extraordinary Lady Gaga. She always seems to catch our attention with her over the top sense of style. Obviously, the wardrobe of Lady Gaga is not one that women are rushing to mimic but she is sending a message of women empowerment that I’m really digging! There is nothing wrong with pink cardigans and flower dresses but if your tired of the conventional pleasantville look, look to Lady Gaga for some inspiration

The new sexy look that Lady Gaga is bringing to the table is one of power, edginess, roughness and rock glam.

Lady in Red

 There is nothing wrong with keeping things a la natural with nude lipstick or lip gloss, but if you want to brighten up your face and make a statement go for fierce RED lips!

On any given day I am lipstick-less, but lately I’ve turned up the glam and pucker up to my new lip-color from Bare Escentuals, Red Zin. I am very picky when it comes to lipstick BUT this lipstick just feels and looks so natural.  If your in the market for red lipstick this one will not disappoint.

If your going to a holiday party definitely throw on the red lipstick, even with a t shirt, jeans and a pair of  riding boots, red lipstick looks kick ass!

(I had to post this picture!)

If you are a true trend setter, Not 25 pounds, a stretched belly, or  a waddle will stop you from keeping up with the latest trends…

This post is for my preggers who are saying “Hey! what about me? I can be fashionable!”… Water retained feet will not stop a real fashionista from strutting her stuff in heels.

My advise to you is  grab a pair of maternity jeans but,  you don’t have to shop at maternity stores for your latest fashion spend (maternity stores are usually more expensive)… Go to your favorite store, grab a size or two up from your true size, and you should be good to go!

Nicole Richie is the essence of being fashionable with a belly… Check out her outfit below:
