Beyonce has been spotted out and about in New Orleans this week prepping for her big half-time performance at the 2013 Super Bowl. She showed up to the Super Bowl media junket in Lousiana rocking a tangerine Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 body-conscious dress and gold Jimmy Choo heels.
I'm gonna have to vote "Fierce" on this look for Queen Bey. The dress is super flattering to her body shape (which is flawless, by the way *shakes fists at the sky*) and comes in last year's "it" color, tangerine. I think she looks gorgeous.
The side-swept bangs are a nice touch. Proud Mama Tina wore a red blazer and tailored pants, very appropriate and classy. She's been really into tangerine lately.
I nearly screamed when I found this color-block blazer at a local vintage store. One of the few pieces I'm sure I'll never part with.
Haven't worn a "doctor bag" in a while. To me, they're never out of style...
Color Block Blazer: Vintage. Lace Top: H&M. Skirt: American Apparel. Shoes: Forever 21. Doctor Bag: Jimmy Choo. Watch: Michael Kors. Chains: both Vintage. Ring: Street Vendor [HERE]. BMW: Stylists Own (haha j/k it's my sister's).
Luxury and truly covet-worthy shoe line Jimmy Choo is now branching off into the world of eau de parfum. The newest addition to their product line, Jimmy Choo Fragrance is coming to a Saks Fifth Avenue fragrance counter near you. This one's going on my birthday list for sure. Here are some behind the scenes flicks of Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon shooting promo for the fragrance...
H&M has done it again ladies & gents! They've managed to pull of a great collab with an established designer in the industry and make it available to those of us without the designer budget...love it! H&M has collaborated with Jimmy Choo and so far it looks like a match made in heaven. Girls, put on your running shoes and wear light clothing 'cuz I can already tell (like the Karl Lagerfeld collaboration in 2004), these pieces will be sold out within the first week.
Below see a preview of the collection:
The following pieces make me absolutely giddy:
These shoes are the business...
And although I usually hate fur, I actually really want this...
For an even closer peek at all the looks that will be in store on Nov. 14th, check Nitrolicious.
The time is fast approaching! I can't believe it's September already. Where did the summer go? It's early September and you know what that means - Fashion Week is coming whoo!! It's actually next week and I can't wait. I was chosen to volunteer for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week so I can't wait to see what's in store underneath the tents.
Not only am I bubbling with excitement about Fashion Week, but I cannot WAIT for Fashion's Night Out on September 10th. It will be epic. I'm inviting all my friends to come out for all the great events, free giveaways performances and T-shirt signings. Should be fun. -->As promised, here's a list of my tentative activities that night.
