This is Spring and Summer 2012 shoe collection of Nicholas Kirkwood. What's your thought?
Hot or Not?

Trend of the Day!

Mixed Prints; we have heard it before but now there’s a new twist: Textures! The key to mixing prints is color theory: Blues with blues and/ or oranges, violets with yellows, reds with greens, etc. Don’t be afraid of pairing a jean blouse with a silk skirt. The contrast will create curiosity to the viewer and will stem applause for creativity for the wearer. For those who thought it was an unattractive trend, think again because print mixing has come back for yet another season (S/S 2012) just as confident as before.


What's your opinion toward Mixing Prints?

A “Spotlight” Transformation
                Jennifer Hudson astounded us with her voice as a contest on American Idol in 2004. Then in 2006, we all cheered her on as she took home both the Oscar and Golden Globe, for her groundbreaking performance in Dream Girls. As a new Hollywood diva, Jennifer had to establish her glamorous prestige with a new, fashionable look. Jennifer traded her curly locks to straightened 16 inched- extensions. However Jennifer’s most notable change was her loss of 80lbs. Now Jennifer is slim and trim, but still has a gigantic voice.  

What are your thoughts on Jennifer’s transformation? Has this affected her singing career? Is she too Skinny??? Does she need to lose more ??

She and her sisters along with their mother star in a reality show called “The Braxtons” that follows the sisters in their daily walk of marriage, parenthood, and career.

One of the most graceful actors/singers/producers/rappers of her time, Queen Latifah is an inspiration to anyone who was told “You Can’t” because she has done it, over and over again. She has produced some of our favorite television shows, TV movies, and feature length films such as “Life Support”, “Single Ladies”, “Mad Money”, and “Just Wright”.
The Queen has a laid- back style that is casual yet, it always tends to work! Her evening wardrobe is so sophisticatedly sexy it’s astonishing. She works her curves very well and her golden locks are always “whipped”. Queen Latifah wants women to know that no matter how you perceive yourself, don’t ever let it hinder you from success. A quote from the Queen herself "I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally."


Trend of the Day!


We haven’t forgotten about our men! Moccasins have been lingering from season to season, but now they are in electrified hues and textures. Men, rock them with a pair of jeans and tee for a laid back day in the breeze. Try for a blue hue as it is on trend or a more laid back color if you have a simple shoe taste.

Shoe of The Day!!

Gia Lorenzi python inspired pumps are a touch of class and edginess. These will look great, paired with light denim skinnies and a khaki military style blazer, with a white tank.

Neon color combination is HUGE this S/S 2012 season! The brightness of it all will slightly blind you, but is that not what we want, to stun our audience? If you want to try this trend but in a more simple way, try a neon accessory such as an envelope clutch or maybe a statement necklace with neon accents. If you are ready to take this trend by storm, try a bold neon yellow cardi or a bright pink maxi skirt or even a mixture of neon colors (color block) from head to toe. Any way you rock neon colors, you are sure to attract the watchful eyes of admirers.

“….We like to partaaaaaay…”Yes! Beyonce hit the nail right on the head because this is the first thing that pops in our minds when we see these dresses. They are fun and comfy, giving you room to “get down” all night long. We say go for the look that fits you! If you are simple yet want to stand out, try a simple black and white color block dress. If you like to be a bit more girly, try a few frills and bold ruffles. If you are more edgy, try a simple form fitting LBD with statement pumps.

Lady Of the Day!!

We cannot seem to keep up with Miss Whitney Houston! Over the years she has disappeared then reappeared and we’ve been left in the dust ever since. She is a legend who has dibbled and dabbled in almost every area of the big screen. She has starred in countless films, TV movies, and even had her very own reality television show with her ex- husband, Bobby Brown. Whitney is not afraid to fall and get right back into the groove of things like she never ever left us. Her style is easy going yet sophisticated. She can wear almost anything! She will be starring in the 2012 remake of the 1976 classic film “Sparkle”.  We look forward to the chase again Whitney!
