Lookbook

The 52nd annual Grammy's were held tonight. There were a few fashion hits and some misses.  Not sure if you all had the chance to watch the Grammy's  but it was worthwhile, albeit a bit long.  However, seeing Elton and Gaga on the piano, Jamie and T-Pain blaming it on the a-a-a-alcohol, and the gut wrenching performance from Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli made me forget that I had a case of the Sunday nights.  Oh and did I mention the fashion?  Check out a few noteworthy looks below.  Wishin yalls a happy start to the week.  I cannot believe it is February already:P Pics courtesy of Just Jared

Yes I am fully aware that I am jumping the gun in terms of Spring talk but I am just too excited to sit still!  This year brings us an abundance of trends and covering them all will be my pleasure!  Seeing as I have had a passionate unrequited love affair with J Crew for the better part of my 20's, what better way to start this spring trend conversation than with some of their lovely pieces.  Their stuff is not in my itty bitty tiny budget but hey, a girl can always dream.  Enjoy! 1) Necklace $135 2) Tank top $138

1) Lace leggings- Soma $20.30 2) Dress- Asos $48 3) Boots- Asos $255

Ok here me out- never a fan am I of items that are on the cusp of being uber trendy because normally the piece is not regular woman body friendly.  Normally it emerges as a style adorned mostly by the tall n skinny models. This in fact does apply to the acid wash leggings- much less flattering than its black counterpart (the light color definitely emphasizes the thighs- yikes!) it will remain at bay with the general population for at least another few months.  However, seeing as it's 1985 again, these will become a staple in many a wardrobe come spring/ summer. This model featured here makes this trend much more bearable in a kind of bark bigger than bite kind of way. It is not so bad you know, and she rocks those leggings to utter perfection- the long slim fitting jacket, booties and clutch- seriously right frikin on!

  Hey- so I am back after a short hiatus and I have missed Lookbooking oh so terribly! Ok so first and foremost, I wanted to highlight Lifetime's All the Looks website  .  It is jam packed with celebrity images, designer features and prizes to be won.  You can create your own Lookbook and comment on the looks you love and the ones you love to hate. And um...ahem ahem... may I add that I was also picked last month as one of their " Bloggers We Love" Woot!  Check out my thought provoking Q&A here  .  :-D The site is definitely worth a visit- if you are feeling celebrity fashion,  makeup looks, designer portfolios and trend reporting. Enjoy!

Hi,   Like millions of people around the world I've been shocked by the terrible events in Haiti.  It hits even closer to home for me because Haiti is my home.  I was born there and seeing how the earthquake has ravaged my country is heartbreaking. Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now suggest as many as 50,000 people may have died, with hundreds of thousands made homeless.   The work ahead to recover from this tragedy is immense. So here's our goal: $890 million for Haiti. That's how much Haiti owes to the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, and a handful of others.   Sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti's debts:   http://one.org/international / a ctnow/haiti/index.html?rc = hait i As Haiti begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt. For those of you who want to donate, here are a list of charit...

1) Antik Batik at Farfetch $404 2) 3.1 Phillip Lim $895

I found Jennifer's look here quite inspiring.  Provided you are blessed with warm weather, belting a maxi as per Jenny from the block here seems like a pretty great idea.  The look is luxe with a dash of effervescence (if that even makes any sense:P). 1) Victoria's Secret $108 2) Edressme $158 3) Donna Ricco at Nordstrom $160 4) Donna Ricco at Nordstrom $17  0
