So Good by Davina featuring Raekwon

The song is hot, but the video is kinda wack! The monochrome look down to matching lipstick is never chic.
Close your eyes and enjoy this oldie but goodie:)

What’s Hot on Honey : Summer Leather Looks

The ed’s over at Honey Mag seem to think the leather look works for warmer temps:

summer-leather

They say, “Leather in the summer? Sounds sweaty, but just like denim, leather and suede has gotten lighter and lighter and comes in a variety of new washes. So if this summer you’re looking to stick with the harder, tougher edge that a little leather adds to any look, options are a plenty.

Get the Look: Sasha Fierce Inspired Outfits

Reader Jay recently wrote in with a fun request!

She said, “I’ll be attending Beyonce’s concert soon with five of my girlfriends. I know it sounds cheesy, but, we want to channel our inner Sasha Fierce and wear Sasha-inspired costumes. We know the main criteria is shiny, gold, silver, and sparkly. We were even considering each picking a video theme to wear, but we can’t seem to find anything. We’d all like to wear something different. Can you help us?

Jay, you’ve come to the right place! Check out these Sasha Fierce inspired looks from some of Beyonce’s hottest videos:

Lastly, Single Ladies:

Look for Less: Rihanna at Carol’s Daughter Hand and Foot Spa

Rihanna was spotted yesterday at the Carol’s Daughter Hand and Foot Spa in New York wearing a Preen boyfriend blazer, ALC gray jersey dress and a Fallon Mixed Chain Necklace:

This ensemble offers the perfect mix of chic and edgy and the polka dot pumps are a sweet touch.  I especially love how she popped the collar on her blazer.
But isn’t there an unwritten rule that says that toes and fingernails must be painted the same color if baring both? Hmmm?
What do you think?

If you’re loving the look, here’s the recessionista version:

Hot! or Hmm… : 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards

A few our our favorite fashionista’s swirled on the red carpet for last night’s CFDA Fashion Awards.

Were they hot? Or did they make you go hmmm….

Zoe Saldana 2009 CDFA Fashion Awards

Zoe Saldana looked chic and stunning in a gray Calvin Klein resort 2010 dress. The off shoulder style adds a dash of sauce to a somewhat demure frock, and her glittering accessories make the look certifiably hot!

Kerry Washington 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards

Kerry Washington also chose gray for the event, stunting in a floor length v-neck dress by Doo Ri Chung. Though the design is somewhat simple, Kerry manages to make it look elegant with stud earrings and a sleek hairstyle. Hot!

Rachel Roy 2009 CDFA Awards

Designer Rachel Roy was also at hand for the event in a one shoulder embellished dress set off by black sandals and make-a-statement black earrings. Rachel is undeniably beautiful, but her poor posture messes the whole look up for me…hmmm

Tracy Reese CFDA Fashion Awards 2009

Fellow designer Tracy Reese made a rare appearance in a tea length floral dress worn with embellished accessories. Tracy tends to dress down, so she gets a hot for stepping up and out in fabulous makeup and a killer outfit!

Georgie Baddiel Phillip Lim 2009 CDFA Awards

Vuitton’s favorite runway model Georgie Baddiel came as designer Phillip Lim’s date in a cropped light gray tuxedo and champagne ruffle top. Beautiful girl, but perhaps she needs to go take a Tyra crash course in ‘dressing like a model off the runway.’ She’s still new to the scene, so she gets a pass. We’ll keep an eye out, however, hmmm…

liya-kebede-cfda

Rounding out our rundown is beauty Liya Kebede who seems to have wore a lacy bandeau bra underneath a plunging patterned wrap dress. Perhaps she got dressed too quickly, but this looks get a rare hmm…we’ve seen Liya in much better!
