For the love of MUSIC!

Coaaaaachella is on its wayyy! All in all there's sooo much crazy-ness, dolls on drugs, drunkies in dresses, hippies on trippies, u know the whole "I'm gunna loose my mind for the love of music!" shabang. Its a 3 day festival kind of like Woodstock where you never know whats going to happen...I was on LAstatus and Jessica had perfectly laid out and accessorized 3 different styles of outfits comfy for the festivities. I picked my fav, go pick yours. Even if its just for a California sunny day out shopping, you never know who you may meet :)





O yeah and if you dont know, I will be in attendance to see my guys Jay-Z & Wale, now you know!

We all make a difference toward a better future!





Behind the scenes and what it took to make this horrible tragedy a little less...

Reinvent in twenty-ten

Over the past couple weeks I been in a bind, not knowing what exactly I wanna do with my hair for the new year! You can only do so much with curly hair, 1. straighten it 2. straighten it, and 3. straighten it lol. For those of you that want curly-ehh, think twice (too much maintaining). So I had to do my homework and these are the trend for 2010, hmmm lookey lookey options I love it!

Reinvention is the best therapy for anyone that recently got out of a relationship, orr worked their ass off and needs a change, there literally 736,204,805 excuses to reinvent one's self,
"What's yours?"

2010 hair trends

Most of the styles are inspired from the 2010 runways, ie the braided look from Alexander Wangs runway...

Styles:
  1. Plaited & Braided
  2. Slicked Styles
  3. Long Waved
  4. 70's inspired locks
  5. Chignon
  6. Two top knots
  7. Up-do hair twists

So I am stuck between the braided look and the chignon, guess one is business other pleasure.Messy chignonbraided hairstyle

Forecast 2010

So, prior I posted the 2010 Forecast, and trust me the fashion forecast's are never off...I remember when I went to do a visit at FIDM like 4 yrs ago and they had the forecast for 2009 and literally seeing everything perfectly in place and not a second later, threw me. Guess somebody's gotta do it, let me tell you though, the classes are no joke! Anyways, with that said..I'm going to add some more things to keep your eye out for the new year.
In 2008-09 all the rage were the headbands, front french braids, braided bands, and on and on. Well now its time to show those lovely locks some love with jewels, flowers, and to die for studded comb pieces. You can even turn old brooches and jewelry into hair pieces (lets see who the first to bank on these in L.A will be)

Hair Jewelry


Leather, Pleather, ahh Whatever. Sometimes you gotta "fake it til you make it" Not the number 1 pick on my list, honestly theres nothing flattering to me about a leather dress. But a bad ass leather cropped moto jacket, thats a different story and a definite must have! I believe EVERYONE should invest in classic pieces and items such as a classic leather jacket goes on the list, with that timeless peacoat.

While 2009 fashion color trends featured a vast array on leather colours, the leather in 2010 will revolve around monochromatic and earthy tones.

Yes, Elise Overland's 2010 collection may feature the likes of teal-green, but such colours are never going to find mass appeal.

Rather, expect to see a big comeback for grey leather, precipitated in part by Rodarte and their grey thigh-high boots. Black is, of course, a safe and unwavering option though if you're after a country-inspired looks opt for tans and browns.

The world is in your hands

We pass by them all the time and lay our hands on them day in and day out but rarely notice the design of most door knobs or handles. These small pieces of home hardware have huge untapped potential to accent a space and add a decorative touch upon entering or exiting.




Shed and Tone in style

Chanel Roller Blades

So its the new year and whats number one on our resolutions list? Shed a couple pounds, right? I know im set for some heavy toning and fun work-outs so...for lean, sexy gams, nothing beats a regular rollerblading workout. And since we love to look our best when we workout, especially as we're cruising the streets on wheels, we've become obsessed with getting this pair of blades on Chanel.com. Also, there are other options if roller blading isn't your thing. Now will we start seeing everyone using Chanel equipment and weights, definitely NOT, but wishful thinking never hurt =) Here are some past "useful" items Chanel whipped up...

F/W Forecast 2010-11

Season Themes | Women's | RTW and Accessories: Two key trends, which include color palettes, are displayed for Fall/Winter 2010-11. References to Hitchcock's female heroines embrace 40's austerity and elegance. While a literal translation of combating the rough economy is presented with a continuing warrior-like aesthetic, Joan of Arc comes back in the scene... Presented on Infomat, courtesy of Fashion Snoops.

.

HITCHCOCK
40's austerity and elegance emulated chiefly from the Prada and Lanvin collections. With reference to Hitchcock's female heroines and wool skirt suits influenced by World War II, double breasted belted jackets and details like exaggerated shoulders and lapel shawl collars are important.

Color:
camel tones dominate the palette
a dose of masculine gray and black

Key Accessories:
structured handbags
driver gloves
pearls
crocodile skins
wide-brim hats

RENAISSANCE
Continuing the literal translation of combating the rough economy with a warrior-like aesthetic, Joan of Arc comes back in the scene with a dose Robin Hood. The look is medieval to the point of molded breastplates and fabrics include boiled wool, fur trim and chainmail knits. Prada's vision of medieval leather sliced dresses was particularly impactful.

Color:
earth-rooted and forest colors come together in a heraldic Coat of Arms sensibility
berries sit next to deep olive and pop against neutrals

Key Items:
skinny pants with a riding aesthetic
cozy cardigans
over-the-knee boots

Purple Rain

2010 fashions are bold and daring, and we're going in for the kill. To complete our sultry gypsy attire, we're sporting an audacious mani-pedi—courtesy of this bright, shiny Purple Rain shade by NARS. Psst: The brand's Spring makeup line will be available on Friday, January 15 online at
