    Fashion Fun: Byron Lars Fenella Layla Barbie Doll

    by Claire

    Designer Byron Lars occasionally fashions couture African Barbie dolls, fitted in high fashion garments. His latest creation: The Fenella Layla Barbie Doll.

    The unquestionable diva’s outfit combines African inspired print with Scottish fabric, comprising a leopard bodice, tartan skirt, lined cape, and argyle socks tugged snugly into white ankle boots.



    She even has a close cropped afro! I was an unquestionable Barbie stan back in the day. Might need to add her to my collection (yes I still have all 50 of mine!).
    If you want one of your own, Fenella Layla is on sale for $100 at www.barbiecollector.com.

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Jess from California

    by Claire

    Opening this week with a bang is Bombshell Jess from California:

    She says, “I love fashion, and my style expresses that!”


    ” Being a Visual Merchandising Manager has given me access to fun and affordable finds.”


    “… I love shopping at thrift stores and small corner boutiques.”


    ” My style is very adventurous and pocket friendly. “


    “I am not afraid of prints, textures and colors…”

    “…and often mix these combinations.”


    ” I believe a true fashionista’s style is not determined by people’s opinion.”


    ” I like to think my fashion is a book and I am the author!”


    Cute! Ah, where to begin? Love your accessories and pops of leopard print. See more of her looks at www.itzjessfashiongirl.tumblr.com.

    Hot! or Hmm…: Ciara in Versace Pumps at Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV Album Release Party

    by Claire

    Ciara was absent from the MTV VMA festivities (as were a lot of people, no?), but showed up and showed out for Lil Wayne’s album release party afterwards:

    She looked spring ready in a barely there tank, high waisted cut off denim shorts, and black Versace platform pumps.

    I’m honestly torn. Her body looks great, but I personally think cut offs are more casual…and should rarely be worn with pumps. A leather mini would have been the bomb! What do you think?


    See who else came out:





    Who was best dressed?

    Wardrobe Query: Kevin Hart’s 2011 MTV Video Music Awards A.L.C Helven Leather Jacket

    by Claire

    Shani says, “Can you PLEASE tell me who designed the leather jacket Kevin Hart wore to the VMA’s?”

    ” I would love to buy it for my boyfriend for his birthday in late September. Thank you in advance!”
    According to his stylists Maya and Ashley of www.MandAstyle.com, Kevin enlivened an Yves Saint Laurent belt, Acne jeans, and Lanvin sneakers with this $1,575 Helven Leather Jacket by A.L.C:

    The Oxblood leather jacket features a fold-over collar, an off-center zip closure, and a removable hood. Technically it’s a woman’s jacket, but its boxy silhouette makes it unisex.

    Hot! or Hmm…: The 2011 28th Annual MTV Video Music Awards

    by Claire

    The 28th Annual MTV Music Awards taped last night at Nokia Theatre in LA. From groundbreaking announcements to spectacular performances, the night certainly packed a punch.

    Let’s take a look at the red carpet style, shall we?

    A positively radiant Beyonce announced she was pregnant (!!!!) , thus definitively stealing the show. To bless her new arrival, she slipped on a tummy skimming blood orange Lanvin gown, accented no doubt by Lorraine Schwartz jewels. She accessorized her simple yet glam dress with dangling earrings and an “I’m a Mommy!” smile. Congrats, Beyonce, you look hot!

    Kelly Rowland went for short and saucy in a black Falguni & Shane Peacock cocktail uplifted by gold embroidery and a feathered skirt. Peep toe spiked Christian Louboutin heels and a black clutch completed her look. I can’t say much about her hair (Danielle?), but she certainly looks piping hot from the neck down;) Work it gworl!

    Colombiana star Zoe Saldana also opted for black, working a Barbari Bui Fall 2011 dress with Balenciaga snake skin heels. I love how dangerously low cut the v-neck is, and the leather and metal accents are dope! That said, this look is a bit luke warm at best for me. It seems a little safe for the MTV VMA’s! Cute shoes, though.

    Kim Kardashian appeared fresh off her honeymoon in a sparkly silver halter Oriett Domenech gown, showing off her ample decolletage. She certainly looks like a Bombshell in this figure hugging creation. Hot!

    Ne-Yo chilled backstage before his electric performance in a gold speckled v-neck brown sweater, anchored by chocolate sneaks and his signature fedora. I’m usually wary of brown people in all brown, but the varying tones look great on him. And that sweater? Hot!

    Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa posed for the cameras with Amber in an ivory playsuit and Wiz in a simple tank and light bronze jeans. Amber looks bodacious, though a pop of lip color would have made this look just a wee bit more interesting. Wiz has developed his own signature laid back style. Hey, it works.

    Lastly, best hip-hop video winner Nicki Minaj seemingly threw on everything but the kitchen sink to twirl at the annual celebration. There are no words, but hmm….

    Look for Less: Kanye West’s 2011 MTV VMA Ombre Denim Shirt

    by Claire

    An uncharacteristically quiet Kanye West performed and accepted an award at last night’s MTV VMA’s wearing a chic ombre denim shirt:

    He wore the dip dyed button down (a Maison Martin Margiela creation custom dyed for Kanye) with jeans and grey”Watermelon” Nike Air Yeezy 2′s. You’ll most likely have to hop on a waiting list to get his sneakers, but if you guys want to try an ombre look, get it with these affordable options:

    What did you think of his performance?
