It’s the start of a new month; February the month of love.  Full of champagne, chocolate and couture; short and sweet and too the point, that’s what February is.  My Birthday is actually on Valentine’s Day so February is always twice as sweet for me!  I’ve already made plans for that weekend, but of course I’m going to double my pleasure and make other arrangements as well.  I’ll be sure to post pics…promise!

Take a look at the latest fashion mag covers for this month, ranging from Chanel Iman, Coco Rocha, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift (don’t hate till you see her) and more

Even though the weather maybe better suited to boots, and UGG’s I’m fantasizing of bearing my toes in something like these Alexander Wang Chloe sandals Rihanna is wearing.  The way she’s paired them is genius by the way; the shorts and Tee let the focus fall solely on the heels.

I wouldn’t be able to pull that look off but the shoes I could definitely work with.  On Net-a-Porter for $525 these are clearly just a dream. Even if I could deciding which one to take home would be near impossible; I love all 3 color options I truly can’t pick a favorite!

Hey queenies!  I know its True Taste Tuesday but i just had to dish on my favourite looks from the 2012 Golden Globes.  The ladies pulled it out!  Don’t ask me who won any awards because I have no clue; I didn’t actually watch it this year although I hear Ricky Gervais was the host again. I don’t mind him he’s a funny chap, but my attention is always focused on the red carpet.

This year forerunners included Angelina Jolie in Versace who showed up with papa Pitt.  Heidi Klum in a sexy neck breaking Calvin Klein gown.  (that is the necks of every man and women in the room) Lea Michele, Emma Stone and Reese Witherspoon also fired and hit the mark in their own respective dresses.  A noted theme were mermaid gowns, which is what I have my eye on for a wedding gown.  Its so complimenting on so many figures no wonder it was a popular choice.   Whose looks were your favourite??

I’ve always loved Solange; she’s such a free spirit.  It may seem like she’s trailing behind in her sisters larger than life shadow; her 100 million time platinum albums, and now with the recent birth of her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.  ( I’ll go in on the name another time).  Solange moves to the beat of a different drum if you ask me. Indie, pop, jazz, retro, soul sums her up pretty well.  I think her off beat style is what makes her such a viable model, besides be insanely beautiful.

Now signed to Next modelling agency I can’t wait to see what she pulls together for her official modelling body of work.  I think she’ll get some well deserved shine; she’s already modelled for Carol’s daughter, Rimmel London, and Dereon her big sis’ label.  Think she’ll make a good professional photo subject?  Here’s some pics of her past work, lover her as much as I do??

 

 

 

 

2012 is here, so now what?  With the start of the year finally here, many of us including myself may be seeking to reinvent our tired individual wheels into something magical for a change.  Consulting your favourite magazine for what’s new on the runway or what’s hot on the shelf is where many of us will start.

Rihanna keeps it hot in a sexy red dress on the cover of Glamour Russia; color obviously still a major trend despite the cold.  I would have been shocked not to see Rihanna on the cover of some January 2012 issue; I mean she is a major fashion trail blazer, along with others like Nicki Minaj who left a huge imprint on fashion in 2011.  She may not conventional but I know I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t admit her wacky style is just a little more than intriguing.  It takes some serious balls to pull out some of the looks she’s worn on a regular day forget stage costumes.

Other major covers included the faces of Lady Gaga on Elle UK, Angelina Jolie, Kimora Lee Simmons and Lily Cole.

I will continue to say how much I love Solange’s style; she just doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks.  Afro, clean shaven or a turban, Solange exhibits no fear of the big chop.  I cut my hair once, and only once and I’ll never forget it.  I wanted to leap from the chair and run down the street ringing the alarm, but after a little internal pep talk I decided against it… and lived.  Everyone loved it by the way but since then I’ve twisted my hair into locks, no big chop on the horizon for me, but I won’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind.

I would however wear a turban, or at least try it out once; an outright rejection of the daily hair whoas, and all that come with it.  Plus I  find it lets a woman’s true beauty shine right through
