Sparkle me Sandra

If you didn’t catch the MTV Movie awards last night don’t you worry I’m sure it’ll be on re-run for the next month!

Watch out young Hollywood cause last night Sandra Bullock made sure she was looking hot to trot!

Obviously, my favorite dress of the night had to be Sandra’s mini sequins black dress paired with nude Christian Louboutin’s. Delicious!

Can we talk about the back of this dress? The deep V is so tastefully done, nothing short of amazing.

Sequins is hot this year and if you want to pull this look off you have to do it right. The dress stands alone, keep accessoriesto a minimal and don’t forget less is more!

You will survive Sandra especially looking this dazzling!

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!

 Always,

The Fab SJP

 

What’s fashion talk if there is no mention of the fabulous ladies from Sex and the City? As much as I was dissatisfied with the movie and its circus like fashion. Sarah Jessica Parker never disappoints on the red carpet.

Check out my favorite SJP outfits before opening night of SATC:

Neon Valentino Couture

 Elie Saab Couture

Alexander McQueen

 

Nothing less than amazing!

 

“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!

Can you hold these for me?

I just wanted to take a moment and show you this ridiculous dress. I don’t care if you’re a hot 90210 star, AnnaLynn McCord, this dress is just stupid!

Ladies, don’t try this at home!

Carrera Sunglasses

I am big on sunglasses, and as much as I am big on bargain shopping, sunglasses are always an exception. A good pair of sunglasses are a must. I have gotten a lot better at keeping cost down as you must know, my first pair of  designer sunglasses were a pair of Christian Dior’s that cost me about $400! After getting those stolen, I think twice about spending the money…Ouch!

I toned it down to about $100 a pair, after all, sunglasses are easily lost or in my case stolen! I was shopping with one of my favorite boys, whose a total sunglasses fanatic, and we made a  stop at Solstice, since he  was ranting about these Carrera Sunglasses he had to have. I learned this, the price tag is  reasonable averaging about $120 a pair and they are really a cool pair of sunglasses!

Not only were they a hit in 2009 with celebrities like Lady Gaga really giving the sunglasses the spot light, their 2010 collection are just as amazing!

More Celebrities in Carrera’s:

Alicia Keys

 

Britney Spears


Brad Pitt

Kanye West (Mr. West is a huge fan, he’s been spotted in so many different pairs)

The collection is 80′s inspired for those of us into vintage style, I know I will be jumping on the Carrera craze bandwagon, they are an absolute must!

Get your pair at your local Sunglasses Boutique or check them out at Solstice.com

Happy Shopping!

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.
