A Bright Future Ahead...

I'm super excited about what spring and summer holds!!! Have you seen all the rich, bright colors that await us? Ladies, you know what that means... It's time to BLOCK IT!!! There are so many bold colors to mix and match.

Yellow: Citrine is here to stay, but don't stop there! Find your favorite shade of yellow, and brighten up someone's day!

Blue: If you're going to have the blues, it better be ELECTRIC!

Orange/Red: Tangerine is the 'IT' color of the season. Fiery reds also add a nice punch to any outfit.

Don't forget to add pastels to your wardrobe. Pastels are very soft, romantic, and innocent. (Reminds of cotton candy). They're neutral, classic, and versatile.

BFs, it's time to stock up! I'll be looking forward to the feedback...

2012 Grammy Awards: Red Carpet

Did you get a chance to catch the 54th Annual Grammy Awards last night? I wasn't wowed by the show, but check out a few of my hits and misses from last night's red carpet...

Rihanna collaborated with Armani on this number... I absolutely loved this look on her! I enjoyed her performance. Nice dance moves...

Kelly looked adorable in Alberta Ferretti.


Adele also looked spectacular in Armani.

Glad Kelly Price was able to pull herself together, and attend the show.

This is debatable, but Fergie is my wild card favorite in Jean Paul Gaultier. Loved the color!

 Now the BAD and the UGLY!

 This costume was disrespectful. Poor choice and bad taste!

Remembering: Whitney Houston

This has been a very heavy weekend with the loss of Whitney Houston. Honestly, reality hasn't set in for me yet. I've kept my thoughts short to avoid emotions that I'm not ready to deal with. The tragedy is a huge impact on many! Whitney Houston sang the background music to many lives, including my own.


It was because of Whitney Houston, I THOUGHT I could sing... I can't! It was because of Whitney Houston we experienced The Greatest Love of All in one way or another... It's because of Whitney, I KNOW that I'm Every Woman! It's because of Whitney that we rocked out to Queen of the Night... It's because of Whitney, we checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel. It's because of Whitney, we are So Emotional. My prayers are with her family, friends,and fans. I Will Always Love You, Whitney...


Feel free to share your favorite Whitney Houston songs or moments! 
UPDATE: An autopsy has been performed. However, the results aren't being released due to the active investigation.

R.I.P: Whitney Houston (1963-2012)

OK, things are getting really serious! Whitney Houston has passed away at the age 48. The official cause of death is unclear at this time. The legendary singer was getting ready for a Clive Davis pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. 

This is definitely a tragic loss to the music industry! 
I will keep you updated as the story develops...

New Kid On the ROC: Blue Ivy Carter!!!!

Images of (my niece) Blue Ivy Carter have finally surfaced!!! She is so beautiful, I almost cried when I saw her! She looks JUST like her mommy!!! I know if I loved at her first sight, I can only image how Beyonce' and Jay feel. This little girl is so precious, I'm at a loss for words. So enjoy!

Proud mommy!

I can already tell she is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger... Right beside her diamonds!
The couple has also filed an application with the U.S Patent and Trademark Office to trademark Blue Ivy's name. Something tells me she is about to be a designer before she's a year old. Guess we'll have to wait and see....

On The Scene: Beyonce' !!!

For the second night in a row, Beyonce' attended Jay-Z's benefit concert (for United Way and his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation) at Carnegie Hall. Last night, she stepped out in a sexy, black sequins Monique Lhuillier dress, Gucci shoes, Chanel clutch, and Loraine Schwartz accessories. (Maybe that's why celebrity stylist, June Ambrose was spotted at the Carter's residence a few days ago...)

Spotted: Beyonce'

'Every now and then you got go in the back of that closet and pull out that freakum dress....' Even if you just had a baby a month ago!!! (Ok, maybe it's not a freakum dress).
Beyonce' made her first appearance last night, since given birth a month ago. She wore a spectacular form-fitting red Alice Temperly dress, embellished Christian Louboutin shoes, and a gold Alexander McQueen clutch. She topped off  her look with an electric blue manicure and cocktail ring. She was spotted at Carnegie Hall in New York supporting husband, Jay-Z at a benefit concert.
