Michelle-Obama-Glamour-Magazine-December-2009

Fab First Lady Michelle Obama is gracing the December issue of Glamour magazine! Looking lovely in red, she gives *expert* dating advice, and style advice. And who else to accept dating advice from, after all she snagged the most eligible bachelor years before he became our President! ;)

On dating, and not going for the cute guy:

“Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul … When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good … You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.”

On her style standards:

“People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady; you’re representing the nation. So I can’t be surprised that people are interested. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection.”

Not only is she beautiful on the outside, she is beautiful on the inside, and her passion to work with her husband to make this world a better place- literally- is something to admire and look up to. Never has a first lady (arguably since Jacqueline Kennedy) been so active in the bringing together and restoration of peace in nations outside of their own. Her passion for children, mentoring and empowering young girls and women forces us all to take a look within ourselves and make a difference. So with her being beautiful, super fly, and inspiring it leaves you wondering- who’s the lucky one? Her or Barack Obama? ;) Looking lovely First Lady!

So, I must be living under a rock! Just recently, while browsing the usual e-fashion sites that I love, I kept seeing T by Alexander Wang. It’s basically a cheaper, more casual alternative to the high-end line, Alexander Wang. Since I’m more for the simple stuff and really accessorizing it to make the look pop, I was drawn to this line:

“Do I, to you, look like a lame/who don’t understand a broad with a mean shoe game.. “

Alexander McQueen kicked off his Spring/Summer 2010 collection in the meanest way possible! As crazy, outrageous and cool McQueen’s designs usually are, this collection definitely takes the cake. The only designer I can think off where every collection trumps the last, because in actuality, he is his biggest competition. Coming in at a staggering 10 inches, these futuristic, animal printed, crystal embellished shoes understandably fly’s over the head of even the boldest fashionista!

Either Alexander McQueen is a prophetic visionary of style, or he has a severe case of ADD that doesn’t allow him to be intensely structured or cohesive. Whichever way, his designs never fail to disappoint or leave stones unturned.

So many times, I scour the world of e-fashion and come up with mostly high-end, top quality clothing to feature on this here site. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some fabulous finds for less! The economic climate has changed the way people think and shop, pushing even the most posh designers to team up with budget friendly retailers such as H&M and Target to bring their fashion to the less affluent. Sucks that it takes an economic crisis to bring these fabulous changes about, but hey, I ain’t complainin’! This new feature that I’m debuting “Fabulous Finds” will feature either lower budget retailers or cheaper alternative designer lines. First up, Forever 21:

While one-shoulder dresses have been around for a while, and honestly isn’t going anywhere, it seemed to have picked up momentum this season. This trend may seem like more of a spring thing, but just remember– Fall is just a gloomier version of Spring. Same cool, crisp weather. Also, you won’t be outdoors the whole time anyway! So for those of you who are planning on going to functions that require you look like the Diva you are, may I recommend the one-shoulder dress?

Fall Trend: Red Lips

AAAHHHH, little black dress. You know the one that we keep in our closet in case of “CODE RED” (Definition – Emergency Outfit) LOL. You’re sitting at home watching your favorite T.V. shows when, your girlfriends decide to call and beg you go to this new hot spot in town (*sigh* been there, done that LOL).  So of course, you pull out that little black dress.  It’s sexy, never goes out of style, and you know you just can’t go wrong. Well, just like that little black dress, your little red lipstick should be on standby! It’s timeless just like that little black dress.

Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Dandridge rocked it out in the 1950’s and now you see celebrities like Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie wearing it in the present.  And for my Black Beauties, that’s afraid to put some color on those lips, YES *pointing* YOU! Have no fear, Teen Vogue is here! LOL.  This month’s issue has African-American supermodels, Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn, on the cover rocking their red lips, looking absolutely fabulous.  So, if they can do it, SO CAN YOU!!! ;)
