Violette by Va$htie: Fall/Winter 2009 Collection

Tamika Haywood — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:52:41 +0000

“Downtown’s Sweetheart” Vashtie Kola has already made her mark in the NYC party scene with her “1992″ & “Open” parties as well as music video direction for such artists as Solange, Kid Cudi and Justin Beiber, just to name a few. Now she’s ready to dominate the fashion world with her clothing line VIOLETTE. With a style described as “if Louis Vuitton had a daughter living in the Lower East Side. She’d be rocking a luxury handbag and a fly pair of kicks…,” the clothes definitely proclaim “fashion forward tomboy”; chic but very effortless.The Fall/Winter 2009 collection called “Ghetto Goth” is very self explanatory and comes just in time for America’s obsession with vampires. Loves it.

Wendy Williams’ Craft Secrets: Revamp your Pumps!

Tamika Haywood — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:53:30 +0000

Saw this on the Wendy Williams show and thought this was absolutely CUTE! Taking plain white pumps and creating your own designs on them for a unique look. Great for curing boredom at home and standing out when you step out in your “one of a kind” shoes.

FYI: Ladies, DO NOT get any ideas from this and try to paint RED BOTTOMS on the soles of your shoes. You may fool some, but GOD is watching you… *side eye*

LOL! Enjoy and happy crafting!

NY Fashion Week 2010 Spotlight: Christian Siriano

Tamika Haywood — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:36:03 +0000

Fashion Week in NYC officially kicked off yesterday and so far, I wasn’t “wow-ed” by anything… until today. Former Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano, is taking cocktail dresses and evening gowns to another level of couture with his Fall collection. Ruffles, rouching and regality took the runway show by storm. And Christian’s love for all things elegant, rich and dramatic was definitely evident.

And the SHOES!!!!!!! *faints*

As you may or may not know, Christian also has a fierce collection that is sold exclusively for Payless Shoes and the new Fall 2010 collection is SHOEGASM WORTHY! Inspired by vintage furniture and its classic swirled finishes, Christian is really taking these 6 inch “cost effective couture” heels to higher plains (literally and figuratively)!

*Currently running to Payless*

Rest In Peace: THe Fashion World Loses A Budding LEGEND, Alexander McQueen

Tamika Haywood — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:41:44 +0000

The fashion world has just been devastated with horrible news that Alexander McQueen was found dead in his home in London of an apparent suicide. He was only 40 years old. This news comes days before London Fashion Week and a month before he premieres his new collection at Paris Fashion Week.

With his creations, McQueen was always outside the box. Doing the norm was never an option. He was awarded the distinction of British designer of the year four different times between 1996 and 2003. His clothes can always be seen on red carpets by celebrity fashionistas, such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Kelis.

McQueen premiered his men’s collection at Milan Fashion Week just a few weeks ago and, as alway,s he did not disappoint.

Salute To The Risk Taker….He will be missed.
