I cannot tell you how much I love being invited to the annual French Lingerie fashion show!
Last year I went with my friend Krista, but this year I brought along with me my two product reviewers Eleni and Daphne!
There were people fashion, sexy shoes (which you’ll see on the video), gorgeous men and of course amazing sexy French Lingerie.

Wedding Dresses Trends and Wedding Hair Styles
After attending a fashion show for the current collection of Mocha Design, I was so compelled to create this video which is followed by a slide show because I was dazzled!
These evening and wedding dresses are the latest collection by designer Vivienne Dacosta from Mocha Designs and the wedding hair styles are from Michelle at Atlanta Hair Designs!
You’ll be surprised by these designs because these dresses were created for women with curves who have loads of style and sophistication!
I hope you’ll enjoy the slide show as much as I enjoyed the fashion show!

How to work the new trends with what you already have in your wardrobe during the recession?
As I was flipping the pages of Bazaar magazine (my favourite magazine for women who like style over trends), I have to say that I was extremely impressed with their “Shop Your Closet” in the January 2009 issue that featured Victoria Beckham on the cover.
It’s no secret that a lot of us will bypass the idea of buying new clothes because of the recession and we’ll do our best to recycle what we already have bought in past seasons. So many of us have already wardrobes packed and I’m sure there are a number of items that still have the price tags on them (by the way, if you’re not wearing it, sell it at consignment stores or on eBay for a little extra cash).
I think Donna Karan said it best when asked about how the financial situation will affect the world of fashion.
My favourite spring 2009 looks and how to get them on a recession-budget!
This spring season strongest trends are black/white and nude shades. Neither of these trends are new since we’ve been seeing them on and off on the runway for many decades. The big difference this year will be which items are you willing to invest in and which items you will recycle from your wardrobe.
>>>> Black/white keeps coming back!
When it comes to black/white, you’ll see a lot of polka dots and a lot of graphic prints. I don’t think I’ve ever warmed up to the idea of wearing polka dots and I doubt that I’ll start wearing that print now. That said, I do like some of the softer graphical prints that are coming out this season because they are less edgy than they were in the late 1980s when black/white was also very popular.
When it comes to the Queen of black/white you have to take a look at Chanel … because no one does black/white like she does.

Michelle Obama’s inauguration outfits will be designed by Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu!
This breaking news just arrived in my inbox one second ago about what Michelle Obama will wear today.
It seems the First Lady will go Latin with her design because she’s chosen to wear an outfit by Isabel Toledo at the swearing-in of her husband Barack Obama as the nation’s 44th president on Capitol Hill this morning.
Toledo is a Cuban-born designer who has worked under her own name for more than 20 years and briefly served as creative director for Anne Klein.
No word yet as to what the outfit will look like, but it surely will be stunning because this is a HUGE day for Michelle Obama and the entire Obama clan!!!
Is the falling economy affecting fashion design?
This is going to be a short feature because in this case a picture speaks volume and nothing I write can remotely compare to Bill Cunningham’s feature slideshows for the New York Time Fashion Section.
I’m a hard core fan of Bill Cunningham’s way of seeing New York City through the lens of his camera and I’m always amazed at how astute he is in his analysis of street fashion.
During the last economical meltdown back in 1930, women had adjusted their fashion sense to the harsh reality of the time.

What will First-Lady Michelle Obama wear at the inauguration of President Obama’s ceremony?
***You can choose the dress Michelle Obama will wear!***
The countdown has started and everyone is already buzzing about one of the most important fashion questions of the year:
What will Michelle Obama wear to the inauguration of her husband to the highest seat in American politics?
I’ve read many times over that Michelle doesn’t have a stylist, but I have a sneaky feeling that this is about to change if even for one day in her life.
All eyes (and I mean all eyes given how many foreign countries kept a close eye on the November 4, 2008 elections) will be on Michelle Obama and since the black and red Narciso Rodriguez’s Spring 2009 dress she wore back in November was not the biggest hit with the fashion critics, it will be interesting to see if she picks one of the many gowns that have been sketched out for her by some of the most talented designers.
The Victoria Secret Fashion Show was spectacular!
WOW! What a show! W-H-A-T A S-H-O-W!!!
I had planned on watching 10 minutes of it, but ended up watching the full hour that ended thirty minutes ago because it was hard to do anything else.
The lingerie was very couture and the models were beautiful.
It hurts me to admit this, but Heidi Klum (mother of three and Seal’s wife) looks absolutely incredible.
