ONE MORE TIME!!!

SOME OF U MAY REMEMBER THE POST I DID ON CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA BUT I WANTED TO RE-POST ON HER BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER SHOES AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO HIT THE U.S. LOUBOUTIN WHO?! LOL:)

Charlotte Olympia Dellal is the daughter of London property developer Guy Dellal and Brazilian model Andrea Dellal. In 2004, Dellal graduated from the prestigious Cordwainers, a part of the school of fashion in London. In 2006, Dellal launched her London based label, Charlotte Olympia. Her shoes are all hand-crafted in Italy.
**and she's the sister of Alice Dellal the first chick to re-introduce the fashion world and subsequently the mainstream to the shaven side/long hair combo hairstyle! my inspiration for my cut (check the post titled "dare to be similar" from april '09 on brownbabe...)

THE BEST PRINTS, HANDS DOWN!

NIGERIAN-BORN AND BRED DURO OLOWU KILLS OFF THE ENTIRE FASHION WORLD WITH HIS PRINTS! AND WHILE I DON'T ALWAYS LOVE HIS SILHOUETTES, I WOULD MAKE SCARVES, WRAPS AND HEADDRESSES OUT OF ALL OF THOSE PATTERNS! GET 'EM DURO!!

I STILL <3 THE LV MURAKAMI LINE!

I KNOW IT QUICKLY BECAME CLICHE` BUT IT HAS NOT BECOME PASSE`! AND WHILE I WOULDN'T COP THE GAUDIER BAGS I WOULD DEF DO A MONOGRAM WALLET OR ORGANIZER, HINT, HINT...;)

AND WE'RE BAAAAAAAAACK!

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER VERSUS?? I DO! IT WAS GIANNI VERSACE'S (R.I.P.) LESS EXPENSIVE LINE DURING THE WHOLE "VERSACE MOVEMENT". YES, IT MOST SURELY WAS A MOVEMENT!! HE DID SUCH AMAZING THINGS WITH SHAPES AND COLOR COMBINATIONS AND REALLY REDEFINED GAUDY, ITALIAN FASHION IN SUCH A SHORT TIME! I MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY, LOL! I WAS VERY SAD TO SEE HIM GO:( WELL DONATELLA (GIANNI'S SIS WHO HEADS UP ALL OF HIS LABELS) HAS JOINED WITH ANOTHER FAV DESIGNER OF MINE CHRISTOPHER KANE!!! I'M SO STOKED! CHRIS' '07 SPRING DEBUT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST INTRODUCTION TO THE FASHION WORLD SINCE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN!


I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE ACCESSORIES HE'S DONE FOR VERSUS... THEY REALLY REFLECT THE LARGE RHINESTONE/LEATHER, SPACE-AGEY MIXED WITH ROCK'N'ROLL VIBE HE WENT FOR IN HIS '07 FALL COLLECTION...

Bey's bout to kill 'em!

I just may buy a ticket to this show!

C'est Chic B...

(B. for Vogue Italia)

It's rare that I take time out to do a post on Beyonce because I always feel like she oversaturates the market whenever she has a project popping off (which is damn near every month! "Gon' head girl!") so, I don't feel it necessary to add to her publicity. BUT! I have to say, after watching "Cadillac Records" I have a renewed respect for her grind. Now, I've always thought of her as legendary and an immense talent in her own right but I've grown weary of the same ole' swag as of late. And while I can't say that she blew me away in the movie but what I noticed was her effort. You can tell she put her all into that project (come to think of it, can't nobody ever say B. didn't give 125% on anything she's ever been a part of!!!). She reached, she stretched to get out of her comfort zone and I appreciate that! And even with the new album, she's giving something a bit different than before and trying to show everyone she can evolve. I've been waiting for the "Chic" Beyonce for years and I'm definitely seeing her birth now. Hats off to you B.! You got my vote!
