Lovely Christina Milian debuted a new platinum hairstyle at a basketball game in Atlanta:
As a reformed blond, I can understand her motivation: A cute, light colored hairstyle instantly brightens up your complexion and is the perfect look for impending warm weather.
But something about her choice makes her look…average (instead of her typical above average).
Hmm…what do you think?
I’m probably dating myself by professing my love for this throwback jammer, but ah well…
A few questions/observations:
1. Who knew LL was such a label name dropper? Check out these lyrics:
“How you doin miss? My name is L I’m from Queens/ I heard about your man he like to lace you with cream/Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino with Donna Jeans/ But he slipped up, and threw his rock to a fiend.“
“He be playin like a Willie cause he dress ya dove/ Never knowing that his woman is in need of love/You got Versace gold link stomach chains with rocks/Official hair style but you stuck up in the spot.“
“Making love, Duke is weak then he fallin asleep/You on the phone wit your old peeps dyin to creep ‘tween my sheets/So what you got Chanel on your feet/Hot sex on a platter makes the mission complete, uh“
Ok that was the whole first verse, and he names no less than five designers!
2.If it weren’t for rappers in the 90’s, would we know about these European designer brands? C’mon, be honest.
3. Does anyone else remember when LL tried to start that ‘one leg up one leg down‘ pants trend?

Kanye and his new boo, Amber Rose, have been spotted out and about shopping and profiling–causing fashionistas to clamor for Amber’s look:
Franny said, “I love Amber Rose’s shoes! Can you tell me where I can get them?”
Lex said, “Amber Rose (Kanye’s new wifey) is rockin’ this white top and I want to know where I can find it.“
We found that Amber is wearing a $950 pair of Bottega Veneta Heels straight from the Spring/Summer 2009 Runway and a pair of $164 Current/Elliot Fontaine Denim Shorts. Those are quite pricey, so you can save on the rest with the following low priced substitutes:
1. Charlotte Russe Tweed Cropped Vest, $23. 2. Jockey Reversible Sports Bra, $28. 3. Current/Elliot Fontaine Denim Shorts in Easy Love, $164. 4. Square Bottom Readers, $18. 5.Bottega Veneta Heels , $950. 6. American Apparel Cotton Canvas LA-Z Girl Side Pocket Bag, $30.

Model of the Year Jourdan Dunn held tight to her title at London Fashion Week, walking for fourteen designers including Christopher Kane, Aquascatum, and Giles:
Even more impressive, the Brit beauty opened for Vivienne Westwood, closed Twenty8Twelve, and did double duty opening and closing the Issa show.
Now Jourdan and friends are ripping the runways of Milan, stomping for Gucci, Pucci, and D & G:

Hey!
While I was in New York, I took a bit of time to catch Style outside of the tents. While in the Subway, I took a picture of Devohn Walker:
He had on his ipod, so I literally ran after him to snap this picture!
I loved his unique style: his hat, exaggerated bowtie, 80’s era sunglasses, and his Chanel bag!
He told me he had been snapped many times before for other fashion blogs. I can see why!
Do you like his style?
Bisous!
Pssst, I’m thinking of investing in a new camera to take more pro-fashional shots. Any recommendations for a great small camera–slightly advanced but easy enough for someone technologically challenged (me) to figure out? Right now, I’m rocking with a Canon Powershot.
Dee and Ricky lego brooches are all the rage amongst stylistas who favor quirky conversation pieces.

Today is the day when we need all the motivation in the world to get up and take on the world!
So I decided to bless your Monday’s with Just Fine by Mary J. Blige:
“I ain’t gone let nothing get in my way! No matter what nobody has to say!“
What’s your ‘get happy’ song?
The internet has been ablaze in recent weeks due to a domestic dispute between teeny bopper Chris Brown and Fashion Bomb regular Rihanna. We’re not a gossip site, so we didn’t touch the story, but had to post this Chrihanna gate inspired t-shirt we saw over at Parlour Magazine:
This $24 t-shirt by Upper Playground (available here) was made after Jay-Z apparently pledged revenge for Chris’ transgressions. No need now since, according to the YBF, the two are back together.
Fashion always seems to find humor in serious matters (Remember the Naomi Hit Me T-shirt sported by the maid slapper herself?)
But are these t-shirts funny? Or simply in poor taste?
