Chanel Sparkles. Spring Summer 2011 Haute Couture
I absolutely adore this collection. Classic silhouettes in black and white with just enough beads and sparkle really give this Chanel collection an unexpected bit of flair. I'll be having the black sequined pants recreated.

Jeffrey Williams Has The Ultimate Collection.
Congratulations to the uniquely voiced Jeffrey Williams who triumphed over Calvin Tran and Dominique Pearl David to win Bravo's "The Fashion Show - The Ultimate Collection". I really liked something about each designer's finale presentations. The rude, brash and unlikeable Calvin's black asymmetrical pared down runway show was his best. I wanted the first dress he sent out.
Jeffrey's collection had many pieces I'd wear as well, especially his winning beautifully draped red goddess gown. It was waterworks for me along with him as he spoke lovingly of his mother who'd passed away from cancer and of his desire to dedicate the collection to her.
Each designer succeeded in presenting cohesive fashion forward collections, though I felt Williams' was indeed the ultimate.
"Project Runway" should pay attention because it seems "The Fashion Show" has raised the bar.

Beautiful Brushes.
Keep your brushes and puffs clean and fresh, your skin will appreciate it. I generally add a small cap of fabric softener to a mild unscented detergent or brush cleaner.

Style For Less.
 | |||||||
| Alexander McQueen Studded Suede Bootie - $1,795.00 |
 |
| Garment District Downtown L.A. - $23.00 |
I know there's a huge difference in quality and craftsmanship - no comparison really. As a rule I think it's better to splurge on a great pair of shoes that will last a long time but at a whopping price tag of almost $2,000.00, I would say in that case it's better to save your money and get the look for less for more trendy styles such as this.

Dolce & Gabana. The Eccentric 5
Adorable is a word best used when describing children, but it's the word I kept thinking of when watching this - not to mention handsome.

The term 'Work' is also referenced and known as 'Werk'' by some and defined as follows in the urbandictionary:
"To do something to an exceedingly excellent capacity. Most notably used in reference to dancing or modeling that requires a large amount of fiery attitude, vitality and vigor."
Examples:

"Boy, go on with ya bad self. Werk it out!"
"I'm about to go in this class and put in werk on this routine."

Golden Globes. Beauty

| Jennifer Lopez is consistent red carpet perfection. |
I wanted to share some of my favorite examples of the very chic nude mouth and smokey eye (my favorite combination at the moment) from last night's Golden Globes. Classic red lips used to be my thing, but I have not worn really red lips in years primarily because doing so always makes me feel like my former self. If I do a red, I go for deeper tones now. As you get older it's imperative to change your make-up style. Things you did in your 20's might not work as well and can make you look dated. I'm sure we've all seen makeover shows where years are shaved off by changing hairstyle & color, make-up and wardrobe. Update, revamp and rework.

Notes. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is the first step even when you don't see the whole stair case." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today and always mindful of the sacrifices made in the march toward freedom, civil rights, equality, liberty, justice and peace. I am forever grateful.
We have come a long way - with a long way to go.
