Fashion News: Christian Louboutin Designs Glass Shoe

Today it was announced that Christian Louboutin will design a glass shoe to commemorate the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Disney's "Cinderella" this Summer. I have a love/hate relationship with Christian Louboutin and I will tell you why. He has stated repeatedly that he does not make shoes for comfort and he is CORRECT. If you do not have a flat or sneaker you are guaranteed to be in agony but his shoes are so creative and genius that no one cares that they're feet are in pain. I cannot begin to imagine what this shoe will look like. Thoughts Lovies?

Handbag: Cynthia Rowley
Sunglasses: Dior
Bracelets: P & Co. Arm Candy (will be available at P & Co. Boutique)

PS...She said YES to the DRESS!!!!

Fab Find Under Fifty: Mossimo Clutch

Our Fab Find Under Fifty is a Black and white Mossimo Polyester clutch priced at $16.99. It can be purchased at Target online or in store. The bag has very intricate embroidery and reminds me of a Balmain creation. The print is very versatile and can be worn with an LBD (little black dress) or a a pair of skinny jeans a blouse and heels. What are your thoughts Lovies?

Sassy Stylish Shoe: Dolce & Gabbana

I am completely in love with this shoe for two reasons: I heart bling and I am obsessed with bows. This shoe is beyond drool worthy. Measuring at 5.5 inches Dolce & Gabbana's
ultra fab and feminine Crystal embellished satin pump priced at $4,575 is a fave. The shoe is adorned with shimmering pink crystals and an encrusted bow. Save those pretty pennies because this is definitely a splurge.

Did You Know: Fashion Fact

In a recent survey, one in ten Americans admitted that they bought an outfit
with the intention of wearing it just the once and then returning it to the
store. Did you know this?

Amazing Accessories: Skyline Cuff

Mia Fonssagrives-Solow New York City Skyline Cuff is a brilliant work of art. Being a native New Yorker makes me appreciate this fine jewelry so much more. Mia Fonssagrives-Solow is known for her one of a kind sculptor-jewelery. There is no doubt in my mind after seeing this cuff that we both share a passion for NYC.

Amazing Accessories: Gucci 1970 Bag

Gucci recently introduced their Gucci 1970 bag. Gucci went into the vault to reinvent their vintage 1970's handbag. It symbolizes a balance between tradition and modernization, the Gucci 1970 bag is available in two sizes (maxi and medium) and its versatility proves to be a must have.

Marvelous Misses: Megan Fox

Megan Fox was sighted at The Cinema Society screening of Friends with Kids in a nude colored, sequin Elie Saab dress and cap-toe pumps. Cap-toe shoes are a HUGE trend this Spring. This trend has been spotted on pumps, booties and flats. Thoughts Lovies?

Sassy Stylish Shoe: Versace Leather Platform Sandals

Spring, Spring, Spring is all I hear ringing in my ears. Versace is ready for the new season with these Leather Platform sandals. The Versace white heels has mesh insets, leather flower-like cutouts and a lucite platform. Priced at $1,725 these are definitely a splurge. One of my goals this Summer and Spring is to wear a lot more white. Wearing white gives you a much more crisp, clean and refined look like no other color palette can. Thoughts Lovies?

Marvelous Misses: Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo attended the Rochas runway show in an all black ensemble including a cuffed blazer and pointy-toe Christian Louboutin heels.

Sassy Stylish Shoe: Ryan Haber

I died and went to Shoe Heaven when I came across these @RyanHaber peep toe booties. The fab Spring/Summer 2012 creations titled "Monster" (Mint Color) are available on RyanHaberCollection.com. Not sure which astethic is more drool worthy: the studs, the peep toe, the solstice heel or the 5" height. Whatever it may be, one thing is certain.....Ryan Haber is genious for this shoe. Thoughts Lovies?

Perception Super Gloss

I am excited for all of you to see the new Spring/Summer 2012 Ad Campaign for Perception Super Gloss. Thanks for everyone who has supported me thus far and for those of you who have not yet purchased you can do so here. It was important for me to not only create a fab product but a GREEN product. Take a few seconds and read the ad campaign for details on the product including ingredients. HAPPY SHOPPING LOVIES!!!!!!!!!

What I Wore

I recently went to San Fransisco, CA because Perception Super Gloss was a sponsor for Rock the Runway. I met some great people during the event including Nene Leakes from Real Housewives of Atlanta who was the Host for the evening, Mark Rogers (Founder of Lifting Up Lives) and Kim Hill (original female lead for Black Eye Peas). The most important factor to me was the cause behind the event which was to support Lifting Up Lives. Lifting up Lives is an organization that works to help women who have been affected by domestic violence. It took place at the Clift Hotel (which is where I also stayed during my visit). Here is what I wore for the event

Blazer: F21+ (I absolutely love this blazer. The black clothing hangers which covers the entire jacket spoke volumes)
Boots: Zara
Bracelets: Aldos Accessories
Skirt: ASOS
Camisole: Gap
Handbag: ASOS

Check out more pics from the event below....

Beyonce never seems to disappoint when it comes to a snatching outfit or jawdropping accesorries. She has officially upped the ante.....Thoughts Lovies?

FATionista's at LARGE

Last night at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center (in LA), FATionista at LARGE Adele looked stunning. Adele walked the red carpet in a sequin Giorgio Armani gown and Harry Winston diamonds (12.4 carat diamond micropave ring set in platinum). The cinched waist on her Armani dress accentuates her figure and the 3/4 length sleeves elongate her arms. Adele's make-up and hair were flawless....Congrats to Adele on winning ALL 6 Grammy nominations.
