Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashionable
Today is my birthday .. so these are things on my birthday wish  list. In an ideal world,  I'd be rocking this stuff and not wishing about it. P!NK covered the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine rocking this HOT dress. Of course when I saw it, I twitpic'd it and someone, I wanna say @Bleakey told me it was a Gucci dress. So I searched for the Spring & Summer Gucci collections and found the dress: I think I've previously blogged those Gucci shoes , but I think P!NK rocked the dress better than the model, the model gives this dress no shape. I want this dress. I love the edginess of it.

Good day folks. I am the Man in the Moon (no relation). I will be a part-time contributor to Cleo’s cause of bringing sunshine to your everyday. She’s shining some of her light on me, so that I may shine some light on you. . . .cause isn’t that how the moon works anyway? My first post will be about one of my favorite topics: Hip-hop. I love music, but hip-hop speaks to my soul. It’s in my heart. I love H.E.R. She lives in my lap. . . That’s why I get upset when I see talent wasted. Not everyone can rap. It’s a combination being able to say the right thing, the right way, at the right time, to the right rhythm. . . .to the left, to…

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Alice Smith concert @ HighLine Ballroom

Fashionable
Last week I had the great opportunity to go check out Alice Smith at Highline Ballroom in NYC. I've seen maybe about 3 concerts at Highline and its always a great time, I love it because tickets are almost always under 30 bucks. Anywho, I was GEEKED to see Alice Smith. Never heard of her? You need to. People kept asking me to describe her sound, and I just found the best way to say it was eclectic. It's r&b, bluesy, and jazzy all in one. She weaves many genres. Her voice is so dope to me. She has some range on her. I guess I'd say that if you like Amy Winehouse, you might like her. I dig her 100X more than Amy though, and I love Amy, so…

Fashion Friday: 2.5.10 – Pasquale Fabrizio

Fashion Friday: 2.5.10 – Pasquale Fabrizio

Fashionable
SO, apparently a girl really can have her glass slipper. It's just going to cost her 7,500 dollars!!!!!!! Pasquale Fabrizio, who is this UBER talented "shoe cobbler to the stars" has designed these glass slippers. I have never heard of Pasquale, probably since I'm not a star, but according to laweekly.com He once built a three-legged monster costume for two 300-pound wrestlers. He fashioned a steel brace for the shared third leg, so that one wrestler standing inside the suit wouldn’t crush the other’s foot. He built up the calves of Angelina Jolie’s Jimmy Choo boots in Mr. & Mrs. Smith to make them thigh-high, and he swapped out the heels — 80 pairs at a time — so she could run around comfortably during stunts. He duplicated Muhammad Ali’s…

Fashion Friday: 1.08.10 : Fashion Clutch

Fashionable
Maybe the name Patricia Field isn't a household name for you ( it definitely isn't for me!) but you may have seen her purse in some released photos from the upcoming Sex and the City 2 move? maybe? Well, Patricia Field for Keith Haring (*insert confused face*) has a line of limited edition plastic magazine clutches. I love them! I think they are soooo cute and fun and bright. What better way to dress up a dull work wardrobe! Cost: 80 bucks Hotness: 4 outta 5 stars ***Update*** I had no idea who Keith Haring was (hence the inserted confused face), but my homegirl Tamiah hit me and let me know Keith Haring was an artist from the 80's who created that look. He died in the 1990.  The crawling…

Fashion Friday: 1.08.10: Fendi Baby!

Fashionable
In the back of my closet there is (and don't judge me) a pair of Lucite heels .. they didn't cost nearly as much as this Fendi pair of heels, so imagine my shock when I saw stripper shoes could be so damn expensive. These Fendi Khaki colored wrap /  platform sandals are making my heart melt. that 2 inch platform takes some practice to walk on, its not for the weak. Trust me! And the heel, is listed at six inches. UM.. WHAT?? Nina Garcia says you shouldn't go over 4. I break that rule often, but SIX?? I'll eye from afar. The FF logo is on the lucite platorm, and they will cost you $1553. Wow.

Fashion Friday: 1.8.10 – Christian Louboutin Caged Booty

Fashionable
I am still on the fence about these Caged Boots I've been seeing all around. Something is just off about them, I guess its the whole . . .  shell thing?? But the shape and height of these boots is making me drool. I think I kinda love them! You know I'm a SUCKER for the platform. Christian Louboutin Coussin. Retail : out of my price range. HOT NESS:  4 Stars Height: 14 cm (i don't convert, sorry!).

This video is DOPE! I actually wasn't expecting her to release Monday Morning as a single, but I am enjoying the video. LOVE IT!! My friend had been trying to convince me to listen to her for about a year now, and I kept putting it off, but I really do enjoy her. I hop you enjoy the video too (sans the script about her being in Switzerland) I mean, this girl has REAL talent!! If the media stopped stalking Rihanna's fashion choices they'd be able to notice that. But hey, what do I know!

Fashion Friday: 12.11.09 Time’s Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas

Fashionable
In honor of Fashion Friday today's Time Top 10 List is for Fashion Faux Pas in 2009. Some of them you can't really be surprised, like the #1 was an Olsen twin. Her outfit looked like an acid trip. My favorites from the list: I'm sure Lady Gaga will make several of these lists over the season because while her outfits are definitely amusing & eye catching, they are definitely on the off side. But um, she has the Dora the Explorer hair cut. OMG my girl crush because of her FAB body Amber Rose made the cut w/ Kanye from the VMAs. You know, where she wore a skin tight jumpsuit in nude snakeskin? I'm saying, while it may not have been the best material, her body looks AWESOME!!…

Fashion Friday 12.11.09 : Zappos & Ed Hardy

Fashionable
Never have I been an Ed Hardy fan. I mean, who was this brand I had never heard of, and why are people so gaga over it suddenly? And why the hell are there skulls on damn near everything? But yet they were so popular it's a wine now? And then I'm on Zappos browsing for some scarves and Ed Hardy has some pretty dope ones. Absoutely FAB scarves. Also Absolutely OVERpriced too!  And that's why I freaking LOVE Zappos! I mean, their customer service is the bomb! They are great. They always respond to @ replies on twitter. Even before twitter, when I had to call them, they were helpful. Absolutely adore Zappos and their low costs. And I am loving these scarves I found by Ed Hardy (for…

Fashion Friday 12.04.09: Deja Shoe, AGAIN!

Fashionable
The other week I was browsing through Macy's and saw these Guess Boot, Elize style. I thought they were so adorable! I liked the combination of leather and nylon. And the rubber platform. Then it hit me why I thought they were so cute (besides the 4inch wedge heel). The only thing doesn't sell me is the logo on the side. I'm so not into being branded. I have a pair of boots just like them! well, not exactly but pretty damn similar from last winter. And they are definitely my FAVORITE winter boots. Comfy & stylish. The JO boot by BCBGirls. I got this boot last year during Black Friday weekend, and was in love! It wasn't love at first sight though, more of the love you have to…

Fashion ‘Black’ Friday: 11.27.09

I hope everyone is safe out on the mean streets of Black Friday - the BIGGEST shopping day of the year. Retailers are getting smarter though, they realize people don't want to be trampled, so after BF there will be Cyber Monday, so don't hurt yourself rushing out to Wally World & getting trampled. I'm going to do Fashion Friday slightly different. I'm going to head out the stores on the mean streets of Virginia Beach and upload pics of all my gorgeous finds! Stay tuned!!!
