Rosa Acosta is a fan of Celebboutique.com!
The video vixen recently tweeted a picture of herself wearing a $168 ‘Toya’ Coral Orange & Stripe Black Backless Bandage Dress from the online shop:
The cocktail features a coral base with angled black vertical lines. And check out the back…
Bam!
If you want to turn heads, get Acosta’s look at www.celebboutique.com.
I must admit I watch and enjoy Basketball Wives LA, so of course I tuned into the reunion!
The ladies brought out all the labels for part 1 of the show recap and we found a few of the items in case you want to dress like an LA stylista!
Draya Michele pulled on a $495 Embellished Python Dress from All Saints, punctuated by what appear to be these $1,695 Christian Louboutin Bianca Sequin-Coated Leather Platform Pumps.
Imani wore a Rebecca Torres Sheer Mesh Flash Panel Body-Conscious Midi Dress with gold mirrored sandals.
Laura looked lovely in a $960 Carven Side Drape Dress.
Malaysia shut-it-down in a $4,700 Gucci Leather Dress. She ain’t no diva!
I’m assuming Jackie Christie wore one of her own creations…
And Gloria popped on a Mariesa Irene original.
Who do you think was best dressed?
In case ya missed it, watch the show here:

• All I can say is: Yes! Beyoncé has filmed a music video for her bonus track, Dance for You (which we can all agree should have been included in the main tracklist for 4.)
The video will be included on her concert DVD, “Live at Roseland: Elements of 4.” Catch the teaser over at Hello Beautiful. (Hello Beautiful)
• To coerce people into buying their boring plaids, Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollisters across America will open at midnight on Black Friday, with hundreds of shirtless guys filling their stores. Not gonna lie, that might be enough to even get me out of bed! (Racked)
• Need to add some moisture to your winter locks? Win a Huetiful Hair Steamer over at Hello Beautiful. (Hello Beautiful)
• Daphne Guinness, queen of the avant garde, has teamed up with M.A.C cosmetics for a special edition capsule collection. While many of the colors are quite wearable, I admit to being a little underwhelmed at how neutral everything is. I expected something a little more unique and exciting from the woman who has a computer database for all the couture pieces in her personal wardrobe. (Fashionista)
• Alexander McQueen‘s still-expensive diffusion line, McQ is set to show at London Fashion Week this February for the first time. The runway show will take place in celebration of the new McQ standalone store opening up in London’s Mayfair. (WWD)
• Karl Lagerfeld is guest editing an issue of the free newspaper, Metro International, just in time for Fashion Month. Writer Kenya Hunt says, “The issue will look at the world through Karl’s eyes and among many other things, include a series of guest columns and collectible sketches.” It will be interesting to see what Uncle Karl comes up with. (Kenya’s Style)
• Don’t you love news of more fashion exhibitions? Azzedine Alaïa is the latest designer to have his work displayed (albeit for the second time) in the Groninger Museum in The Netherlands, entitled “Alaïa in the 21st Century.” The exhibit will feature some of the designer’s most iconic pieces from this century, including this a-ma-zing jacket decorated with a full crocodile skin. Need it. Love it. Who wants to buy it for me? (Hint)

Would you rock it?
