FASHION STORYTELLER!!!!

THIS IS A PICTURE FROM A GUCCI SPRING RUNWAY SHOW. THE MODEL IS CHANEL IMAN. WHEN LOOKING AT THIS LOOK PICTURE I SEE A YOUNG LADY LIVING IN PARIS. SHE IS A UPCOMMING ARTIST OF SOME TYPE. SHE LIKES HAVE FUN AND FLIRT. SHE IS VERY PROTECTIVE OF HER HEART AND ONLY LETS CERTAIN PEOPLE IN, THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE DARK EYES. SPRING IS HER FAVORITE SEASON. SHE LOVES CHIC, VINTAGE, AND HARD STYLES ALL IN ONE. SHE LIVES IN A STUDIO APARTMENT AND ONLY HAS CLOSE RELATIVES COME VISIT. SHE PARTIES ALOT BUT ONLY TO NETWORK. SHE HAS DREAMS OF TRAVELING THE WORLD. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A BOYFRIEND BECAUSE HE DOESNT FIT INTO HER LIFE AT THIS POINT. HER GOAL IS TO BE SUCCESSFUL, HAPPY, LOVE, LIVE-RIGHT, AND BE STRONG.



THIS IS A NEW SEGMENT THAT I WILL BE POSTING.


XOXOXOXO

BLENDS OF ELECTRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY GOT MY SWAG BACK...IM SOUL-SURVIVING....AND IM NOT CRYING...

AMERIE IN LOVE AND WAR ALBUM GAVE ME CHILLS WHEN I LISTENED TO IT LAST NIGHT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF HERS AND HER MUSIC...BUT JUST PAID ATTENTION TO THIS ALBUM RECENTLY. THIS ALBUM IS THE SIMPLICITY OF ELECTRIC MUSIC AT IT'S BEST. AMERIE IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF FASHION AND MUSIC. HER STYLE SENSE IS VERY POP ROCK AND VINTAGE. I LOVE THE LONG BLACK HAIR, GOLD KNUCKLE RINGS, BLACK ATTIRE, AND THE PERSONA OF A FEMALE ELECTRIC BASS PLAYER. IN LOVE AND WAR IS A STORY FROM BEING IN WAR TO BECOMMING IN LOVE. IT STARTS WITH "TELL ME YOU LOVE ME", "WHY R U", THEN GOES INTO A TRANSITION OF FINDING YOURSELF WITH TRACKS LIKE "SWAG BACK"(MY FAVORITE) AND ENDS WITH THE WAR BEING OVER IN "DEAR JOHN"(MY SECOND FAVORITE). THIS ALBUM IS THE GRACE OF A NEW DIRECTION IN MUSIC WITH CRAZY BLENDS OF FASHION, LOVE, WAR, AND GROWTH OF AN ARTIST WHO DOES NOT GET ENOUGH PROPS...AMERIE THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!

ILLUSTRATIONS...SKETCHES...AND BEGINNERS!!!!!!

Every designer starts with a sketch on paper. Sketches are brainstorming drawings that are used to create a look or collection. I found some really "GREAT" and amazing sketches on the web. There are so many sides to designing a garment and I want you all to see the beginning, illustrations, and sketching. These are just random sketches, no particular designer because the BEGINNING OF FASHION IS A ILLUSTRATION OF GREATNESS. THESE SKETCHES ARE FUTURISTIC AND FIRE BOMBING.


"FASHION IS ART."


I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT, FASHION IS MORE THAN WHAT WE SEE ON THE RUNWAY AND RED CARPETS.


XOXOXOXO

Diamonds USED TO BE COLD...UNTIL THE 2010 MET GALA CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HIGH FASHION, BIG, BOLD, OUTRAGEOUS, HOLLWOOD GLAM..IT'S THE MET GALA. THE 2010 MET GALA TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE FASHION. I AM IN TOTAL AMAZEMENT OF THE FASHIONS. THE MET GALA IS MEANT TO BE OUTRAGOUS WITH FASHION AND TO ME EVERY STAR BROUGHT THE DRAMA AND TURNED INTO ACTORS. I DO NOT HAVE A FAVORITE LOOK BECAUSE I LOVE EACH OF THEM IN THEIR OWN WAY. SO, LET ME JUST TELL YOU WHAT I LOVED ABOUT EACH LOOK.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER BROUGHT HER USUAL SELF AND CARRIE BRADSHAW ALL IN ONE...I LOVED THE DRESS DRAPERY AND THE BIG BOW IN HER HAIR. TO ME, THIS IS PROBLY THE BEST DRESS. CAN U SAY PARIS ROYALTY.

GWEN STEFANI WAS RADIANT AND GLOWING. THE DRAPERY AND CONTEXT OF HER DRESS SENT ME INTO OZE...AND IT WAS SO PREFECTLY FITTED.

JENNIFER LOPEZ...WHEN I FIRST SAW J.LO I THOUGHT, WOW..WOW...WOW..WE HAVE NEVER SEEN HER IN A PRINCESS STYLE GOWN AND SHE DID IT JUSTICE TO THE TOP DEGREE. HER MAKEUP WAS FLAWLESS AND THE FACE GIVEN WAS SO REMARKABLE.

ZOE SALDANA..WAS SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, TAILORED, AND SIMPLICITY AT IT'S BEST. I LOVED THE BLUE JEWEL TONE ON HER SKIN. THE ONE SLEEVE MADE HER LOOK FULLER, AND THAT IS GREAT BECAUSE SHE IS VERY PETITE...AND THE BACK WAS LOW AND SERVING IT UP.

JESSICA ALBA...ALL I CAN SAY IT HOLLYWOOD GLAM AT IT'S BEST. THE HAIR WAS PERFECTLY DONE AND SWEEPED...THE DRESS WAS PERFECT WITH THE DRAPE FRONT...AND HER BEAUTY IS STUNNING.

KERI WASHINGTON.... WAS ON FIRE....LITERALLY. HER ONE SHOULDER, HIGH THIGH GOWN WAS FIERCE. I LOVED HER HAIR AND NATURAL MAKE UP. SUCH A BEAUTY!!!!

DEMI MOORE...STUNNING AND CLASSIC...THAT SILVER DRESS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

DESIGNER OF JIMMY CHOO...IF YOU HAVE THE BODY...WEAR IT!!!! LOVED THE SLITS IN THE DRESS.

OPRAH...OSCAR DOES NO WRONG...SO CLASSY AND THE DETAILED WAS AMAZING.

JOY BYRANT-- BEAUTIFUL AND I GET THE DETAIL...SO CLASSIC AND THE BEST I'VE SEEN HER LOOK IN A LONG TIME.
