Hey Fashion Bombers!
Vuitton here with a men’s edition of Hot or Hmm featuring John Legend!
The crooner was spotted with his girlfriend, Christine, at a pre-inaugural party hosted by Tropicana in this interesting jacket.
I’m all about fashion forward looks, but something about his jacket makes me go hmmm… What do you guys think?

I recently happened upon this picture of bomb beauty Toccara…
…and had a nagging feeling I had seen that dress before!
Digging a little deeper, I realized that Toccara hadn’t worn that specific dress, but relied on a similar silhouette for a few red carpet events…
…Fitted bust, knee length skirt with a bit of flutter.
Everyone has a style crutch, a silhouette to which they are always drawn. I personally have a thing for strapless dresses; no matter the length or the color, I have to have it! But then I stop myself….too predictable!
What’s your style crutch?
Today I wanted to shine a quick spotlight on catwalk newcomer Ubah Hassan…

Hey bombshells, it’s Adri here with a roundup of the Spring ’09 Couture collections in Paris!
So why do some fashion houses keep doing it? Apart from the fact that several do have loyal couture customers, it also serves as image reinforcement, especially for brand extensions. In plain English: Can’t afford that Givenchy dress you crave? Buy a Givenchy perfume, instead!
OK, let’s get to it!
MARTIN MARGIELA: Margiela showed only ten looks in his couture collection, which made each piece distinct and memorable. I love the nude bodysuit overlaid with sequin applique’s (bottom row, far left), which I can easily see on Rihanna, a self-proclaimed fan of the house.
GIVENCHY: My favorite of the group: thoroughly modern and quietly sexy. The colors are muted but still rich somehow, and the shapes make you want to throw on a pair of heels and head out to a chic cocktail party or front row of a fashion show!
CHRISTIAN DIOR: Theatric and a bit confusing, I can’t muster too much enthusiasm for these overdone pieces. While some of them are gorgeous and works of art more than anything else, the collection as a whole feels like it’s trying a bit too hard. The off-shoulder white gown in the top row is major, though.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER: The models’s hair is reminiscent of the ’20s but the clothes are almost anything but. Instead, the ’80s ruled, with broad shoulders, cinched waists, and the Gaultier fondness for corsets evident throughout the collection. I liked. Kind of.
CHANEL:Karl Lagerfeld played with a limited color palette (whites, creams, blacks) and a treasure trove of textures, details, and tailoring. It’s a beautiful collection, and exactly what couture ought to be: luxurious, unique, and forward-thinking!
ARMANI PRIVE:The Far East is clearly an influence here, and Giorgio Armani focuses on an Armani signature: the jacket. Although I’m not wild about the pants, the red tassels on the grey shark-skin suit (bottom row, center) give it a perfect pop of color, and the skirt-jacket combos would be my choice if I was a lady who lunched!
What did you guys love?

Did you guys know that Chanel Iman has her own channel on You Tube? Yup, Chanel Iman TV. She has about five short videos uploaded.
Here are a couple:
Cute, but can she command the camera like Tyra?

…it’s a $38 Public Library’s Samburu Hope T from www.boutiquetoyou.com. Proceeds of t-shirt sales benefit The Samburu Project, which works with communities in Northern Kenya to bring clean drinking water to the region.
Work it out Beyonce!
