The other in the NY Times, they ran an article about the high demands and sales of fade cream in India's beauty market.

As a woman of color myself, I felt kinda of compelled to put in my two cents about this. However, since I am bi-racial and "light skin", I feel that I might not be the best person to comment on this.

I have always felt that make-up and various skin care products that are created and used to help us "enhance" our own individual beauty are fine, but I have always hated products such as fade cream for continiuously promoting the age old ugly saying and belief; The lighter, the brighter, the better!

It sucks that this visual self-hatred is spreading to more and more minority groups. Read the article, its really good, but extremely hard settling.

Not really her shoes, but how she wore them. Obviously, these are not the best sheos to be worn with skinny jeans, but she wanted people to see them. They are cute shoes, but there was an obvious choice that needed to be made; shoes or jeans? Well, "The Duchess" was fashionably compelled to make that very important decision so she said "What the hell." So, yay or nay on how she chose to rock these shoes?

A friend of mine is expecting her own little mini me and this past weekend we celebrated my partying like rock stars and when I say rock stars I mean like mediocre divas excited that she is having a new baby and more excited that we aren't. She's the first person in our little tandem of old University of Memphis collegiates that's having a baby. Fortunately, she is adding a new little fashionista to our universe.

On that note, I had to make sure to help her keep a firm grip on her ultimate fab self. Her was my offering:

Patent Leather Diva Diaper Bag, $100, Intuition

Needless to say, it was a big hit! I loved it myself! Its so roomy and has enough zippers and pockets to hold all sorts of stuff from bottles, diapers, cell phone, and make-up...you know, the neccesities! To the naked eye it looks like a fabolous handbag, which is what I was going for! Its so haute that it almost makes me want to get knocked up myself just so I can carry it....yeah, right!

So, this past Friday when I went to do a little retail therapy at the mall, I walked in to one of the places that my wallet dreads for me to enter...The Body Shop! Everytime I go in there I leave with some sort of new product that I instantly convince myself that I CAN'T live without. The "Jar of Life" item that I got this time is their Spa Wisdom Monoi Moisture Balm.

As I was browsing the wall of items, I picked this up to test on my left elbow, which seems to always be dry no matter how much cocoa butter I drown it in! Anyway, as I was placing the jar back on the shelf after seeing that it costs $22, the sweet lady behind the counter swore that this is the best and richest stuff ever. It peeked my interest, so I took a chance and walked out with it and my usual stash of Almond Body Butter!

I can't remember that lady's name, but she spoke nothing but the truth about the richness of this balm. When I got home, my dry elbow was still just as soft and moisturized as when I first put in on. After every shower I took this weekend, I sparingly slathered this over my freshly washed skin and it left my skin SSOOOO soft and overly luxious! It almost makes me feel that I'm not deserving of such an incredible, indulgent, and overall lovely body balm! I knew that I had discovered a new love!

Stay Stylish!

Seriously, Memorial Day Weekend sales brings out the worst in some people and when I say some people I mean moi! Yes, chicas, today was a pretty productive day for me, my wardrobe and my personal beauty department, there might be a couple of women with a few bruises to the arm...sorry! Yep, I loaded up on so many capris and bermuda shorts, I feel like I should be planning some sort of vacay in the warmer parts of the world!  I feel sorry for the people who are going to have to deal with Hurricane Samida tommorrow here in Memphis. If you see a skirt that you are considering buying, but unsure? You better not put it down because a curly hair chick might come and snatch it up as soon as you put it back on the rack! Guard your steals, ladies!

On that note, have a good weekend and get out and get a good whiff of some of that good ol' S-A-L-E spirit!

It's official, tommorrow is retail therapy Friday amongst my friends and I. In our tight little group, we all haven't had the best week. Therefore, as a reward, tommorrow we are going to meet up at Oak Court Mall and partake in some mani and pedis, guzzle a few Caramel Frappacinos, run amuke in Trade Secrets, and finally set up shop in Macy's shoe department for a few hours. Of course, if you are in the Memphis area you can meet us @ 11am in front of the fountain diving for dimes...just kidding about the dimes!

Anyway, while at Macy's, they better have these shoes or all corners of hell are break lose up in there!

Jessica Simpson 'Aidan'  Pump, $89, Macy's

If there is a very exspensive designer shoe or handbag that is just too exspensive for you and your wallet you can bet that Jessica Simpson's shoes and hangbag lines have a less exspensive model. Just like the above shoe and I need these shoes! That slick, candy apple red pump has my foot print written all over...soon, hopefully! These shoes would definitely leave a huge grin on my face and plus they are the perfect prop to show off any pedicure!

It seems like I have been saying that for the past three days. Yesterday afternoon was the ultimate test of the strength of my heart. I'm shock that I didn't a have a heart attack or stroke in my sleep! My computer got that "sickness" and I had to reboot from scratch. Yep, a squeaky clean and clutterless hard drive. I felt it coming so I was zipping up folders and emailing them to myself like crazy, before I pulled the plug and my hair. So, don't be shocked if a slight new layout pops up on your screen in the next few weeks, because I was unable to get the folder of info for this layout among other things like all my folders of beauty, fashion, and celebs!

Just work with me! I promise I will have a "Stained Couture" post up by this evening!

Dolce & Gabbana Shiny Stirrups, $695, Nordstrom

There is so much wrong with the above picture and caption, its almost absurb! Shiny. Stirrups. Skintight. $695?!?!?!

Would you dare add these to your closet? Personally, I wouldn't even think about if they were 2 for a $1 and still by Dolce!! What do you think?

Unfortunately, I am not having the best evening that I hope for as the sun sets everyday.

Work?...bubbling over in my inboxes, which means not that much time for blogging! 

Shopping?...A dress that I have been wanting for months was finally down to a price that my wallet and I agreed on, but not in my size or the next size!

Grizzlies?...Didn't win NBA lottery despite finishing with the worst record in the league and having a 25% chance of getting the number one pick. Instead, griz picks 4th!!!

After such a craptastic evening I needed to find something to pep me up before I go to bed and have my recent daily and odd dream of being chased by a Prada pump and LV bag while trying to race to my Spanish final only to find out that I have missed it by a day! To make it a little more weird, the people in the class are people that I went to junior high and high school with that I haven't seen in almost a decade! Did I forget to mention that I graduated college three years ago and haven't taken a Spanish class in over 4 years!Don't get me started trying to analyze that!

Anyway, leave it to Disney to put a smile on my freshly washed, exfoliated, and moisturized face with these way too adorable bangles from their Disney Couture Jewelry collection. Plus, ya'll know a girl loves her some bangles! I can just imagine wearing that beautiful blue Alice in Wonderland bangle as I go check into Charter Lakesideto treat my exhaustion and depression thanks in part to the recent bouts of stress in my life!

Alice Blue Bracelet, $100, 80s Purple;  We'll All Mad Pink Bracelet, $100, 80s Purple; Alice in Wonderland White Bangle, $150, Think Her; Bambi Studded Bracelet, $125, 80s Purple; Tinkerbell Studded Bracelet, $125, 80s Purple

Not everyone, including yours truly, is a fan of bikinis. Personally and unfortuantely, I am too body conscience! However, that doesn't mean even us body conscience chicas can't still look fab on the beach! That is especially true when it comes to retro-inspired one piece swimsuits! They give you such a super sleek shape. Avoid the water all together and throw on your fav pair of big shades and just lounge around the pool like in the throwback fashion of the 1930s and 1940s! Plus, you know what that water can do to your 'do!

Here are few of my favs!

TFNC Bubble Romper All In One Suit, $50.98, Discoo

Altough I usually don't give my opinion for "Yay or Nay", I feel "fashionably compelled" to do so for this. I think its kind of cute and would be a perfect alternative for beach cover-up(i.e oversized tees and large towels wrapped around you). However, I am a little indifferent about this look being seen on everyday women doing everyday things.

Forget that crappy Mayweather v. De La Hoya fight, the real fight is going to take place this weekend! That's right, between me frolicking outside in the warmth that is spring topped with a breeze or me on front of my computer with a couple of e-mail accounts loaded with work and requests! What to do, what to do!

While I deal with the latest qualm of my life, drop your head and say a little prayer for me. However, don't let me stop you from enjoying your weekend and definitely say a big "Congrats!" to Danielle M. from Seattle. She is the winner of the heart watch! Wear it with confidence that you will always know the time and faboulous...at least 'til the battery runs out!

I'm going to be gone all day tommorrow and I am not sure if I am going to get a chance to post tommorrow. So, here is a question for you to answer and/or ponder for me.

Am I the only one who finds these mannequins quite freaky and super spooky! I was browsing the Barney's site and when I saw this I instantly reached for my rosary beads. Way to sci-fi for me! Thanks to my obsession of online window shopping, I now have to have these vicious images in my head! Good night to me.

***Cute dress, though!

Earlier this afternoon, we here in Memphis got a "nice" little thunderstorm and as a gift, it knocked out the power in my apartment complex. As a bonus, it decided to do so while I was about to save some VERY important work! I guess that's the way the powder shimmer eyeshadow crumbles!

Anyway, after 6 hours, yes 6, S-I-X hours, the power finally came back on and I of course ran to mi nina...my computer! To rejuvenate the depletion of fashion, I browsed a few of my fav sites and low and behold I found a new obsession to fall asleep to!

Manolo Blahnik Contrast Patent Leather Sandal, $645

Everyone has that one item that they break out every year when the weather starts to warm up. It could be that favorite tank top that show off your well shaped arms and back, or those perfect shorts that make you legs look like they could go on and on. Well, my favorite item does make me and my legs look taller, but that is not why I love them.

For the past couple of years, I have been breaking the same cherry print, 4 in. espadrilles as soon as the first bead of sweat begins to form at my hairline! I  bought them for $20 back in '04, which equals out a buck for everytime that I fallen in them. However, the cherry print makes me feel happy and youthful, plus I feel that they go well with my usual uniform of choice; denim bottoms and a white tee.

I will my cherry "espas" have made me gather a couple more other things that are cherry print. So, if you have a foundness for cherry prints or wouldn't mind trying something cherry print in your closet, then here are a couple of pieces for you!

Cherry V Tee, $24, Delia's; Cherry on Top Beaded Bag, $29.50, Alloy; N.Y.L.A 'Valerie' Pump, $69.95, Nordstrom; Romney Belt, $9.99, Go Jane; Cherry Print Mules, $14.99, Go Jane; Volatile Bryana Sandal, $44.50, Alloy

Most of us have a fav celebrity that we adore, be it for their work or their personality based on the little bit that you have acquired via magazines and television. One of my favorite modern day style icons is Jessica Alba. I just adore her style! Its very easy and carefree, yet well put together. Although she is 26 years old, relatively young in hollywood, she dresses her age and shows her natural beauty via natural make-up or none at all! Gotta love that! Wheather she's all dolled up on a red carpet or strolling down the street walking her dogs, I truly love her style!

Jessica's casual style is usually based around a pair of fabolous jeans or leggings topped with a feminine tops and fully accesorized with a large bag and/or sunglasses. She often throws on a cute little jacket, sweater, or scarf for a touch of extra cuteness!

Even when it comes to her style on red carpets, its very appropriate all around. She does a perfect job dressing her age and for the occasion. To stay in her fashion comfort zone while on the red carpet, she pairs her beloved jeans with a beautiful top that makes the outfit look less casual than it is! When she does get glammed up with a dress, she sticks to elegant yet young and simple dresses. Muy perfecto, chicas!

Society of Rational Bell Dress, $345, Madison Los Angeles

My latest television addiction is this show on MSNBC called Models NYC. I accidentally ran across this latest reality show based around modeling. However, on one episode, one of the models named Andreyna was at a photoshoot and modeled in this dress. Since it was for an editorial it was nothing to think of, but what if you saw someone walking down the street in this dress? Would you think that it was a dress or someone being creative with a skirt? Would you wear it?

Valentino Peeptoe Maryjane, $695, Saks

I spent most of yesterday in front of my computer romancing Photoshop to work, because I have SSOOO much work to do for three different clients. So, I gave myself a nice little visual treat by doing a little window shopping at Saks.com!

As soon as I saw these Valentino pumps, I instantly dreamed about all the places I could take these shoes. Strolling on the Riverwalk at sunset, walking into a meeting with a potential client and them hiring me on the spot based on the fabolousness of the shoes on my feet. I even imagined walking my dog in them!!

I wouldn't even allow them to be alone...EVER! I would sleep with them right beside me and I would tuck them in and protectively watch over them as if they were my child!

Yeah, a girl can dream!

Tommorrow, the movie Because I Said So is released on DVD and it stars Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore as mother and daughter. When it comes to her three free-spririted daughters, Daphne (Keaton) is just your normal overprotective, overbearing, over-the-top mother. Worried that her youngest daughter, Millie (Moore), will end up alone, Daphne meddles in her daughther's love life until she ends up doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons...and all in the name of motherly love!

Watching Milly and her hectic dating life made me stir up moments of dating delimmas, which usually revolved around what to wear. I know that I am not the only one that feels those first date pressures of deciding what to wear. You have to not only decide what to wear, but what to wear for what type of date. Milly dating gear was very casual chic, which I LOVE! However, not everyone is keen on what to wear on dates and why.

So, here are a couple of outfit possibilites and scenarios to help you out on your next date!

Weekend Question

Skindivania Akne Pore Oil

About 50 different people googled this stuff yesterday and lead them to my site from a post from months and months ago! Was this stuff in the news recently or something. Seriously, the locations were all over the beautiful U.S of A, so I know it wasn't one person. What's up? I will admit that stuff is amazing! Really good! However, the link isn't working today although it did yesterday. Maybe, I answered my own question. Discontinuing?!

I believe that every woman needs a well made, preferably tailored suit in her wardrobe. A suit is very versatile. Normally, when you think of a suit in your closet, its for the purpose of work. However, that is not neccesasrily the case. You can wear them not only to work, but any event that usually calls for you to wear a glam infused dress.

You might not have the mucho dinero that Jennifer paid for her Ralph Lauren suit (Look 20), that still doesn't mean that you, too, can't find a fabolous suit of your very own. Here are a couple of suits that would look fab on any woman.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Calvin Klein Pinstriped Pant Suit, $199.99; Calvin Klein One Button Jacket and Skirt Suit, $139.99; Tahari Notch Collar Jacket and Pant Suit, $199.99; All found at Macy's

Despite the power that shines through in a suit, that doesn't mean that you can't mix up the colors. In the spring and summer, I love to wear a pair of black slacks with a white blouse and jacket. For some reason, I am not a big fan of the all black, brown, or etc. suits. Mixing it up is creative and shows your personal flair for fashion.

Here are a couple of pieces that you can mix up and come up your own version of a powerful suit.

Issac Mizrahi Smocked Metal Jacket, $34.99, Target; Cynthia Steffe Cascade Collar Jacket, $330, Nordstrom; Classiques Entier Eyelet Jacket, $350, Nordstrom; Issac Mizrahi Boater Jacket, $17.49, Target; Nanette Lepore 'Pinup' Piqu'e Jacket, $450, Nordstrom

Just last month, I talked about all the hip, fly, and stylish pieces that are lined up in Plasticland's clearance section, which was a huge hit based on all of the outclicks they pieces recieved.

Here is a secret of mine, while I do clutter my the tables in my apartment with various fashion magazines, if you look underneath them you will find more than a few home and garden-esque mags. Well, imagine my glee and slight hysteria to receive an email informing me of Plasticland's home decor department.

Personally, maybe its my age and personality, I love for my home to reflect my personality of effortless and ageless style sprinkled with a touches of hip and urban pieces! No wonder my favorite online boutique has a gaggle of pieces that scream and cry out to me and my apartment!

Bouquet of Flower Oval Frame, $22

Polka Dot Retro Hatbox Luggage Set, $82

Modern White Metal First Aid Box, $22

Neo Chrome Cuckoo Clock, $17

Grey Felt Flower Placemats, $22

Check out the rest of their home decor section for yourself! The icing on the cake is that they offer FREE SHIPPING, no matter the price! Gotta love it!
