Gift of the day...



Bring in the day with all your Christmas spirit. For all the men out there curious to what they should get their girlfriend for Christmas, wait no longer. Every girl loves purses! What better than a Coach purse. Coach has been around for some time, starting out with their beautiful leather bag and then transitioning to the infamous Coach print. Coach is my personal choice for the best handbag, at a reasonable price.



If you're looking to bring in the Christmas spirit check out the Large red Leather Carly bag. You definitley can't miss the bright and bold handbag. But if you want to settle for something a little less bold, there's many other styles and colors to pick from.

Love it or Hate it?



Whatever your opinion is about the Spice Girls in general, I want to know what you think of the outfits they frolicked around in. After appearing at their sold out concert tour the ladied made a debut dressed by Roberto Cavalli in coordinating arrays of metallics, from bronzes to glittering platinum and white. What do you think of their more sophisticated, mature yet fashionable transition from their 90s debut. Do you like the new change, or prefer the good ol days?

Agatha Ruiz De La Prada

Models present creations by Spanish designer Agatha Ruis De La Prada, during the Sarajevo Fashion Week in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, late on Monday, Dec. 3, 2007.









If you ask me this is definitely not something anyone would be seen in the streets wearing, but it's superb art work.

Agatha Ruis De La Prada is a Spanish fashion designer. Her original bright-colored designs are very popular, she uses motifs as moons, stars, suns or hearts in them. She designs everything from furniture, carpets, crockery, lamps, pens, pencils, lipbalms, scents, sleeves, towels or bed linen as well as clothes for either children, men and women.

Agatha Ruis De La Prada is very much an indepentant, idealistic and creative Spanish designer.

If a size 2 is Fat, then I'm dumbfounded...



One of the top stories blasting through all of the top media outlets is the story of Jennifer Love Hewitt, being Fat! Not only is she the iconic representation of someone with fashion expertise, she has modeled for some of the top brands. Well, besides celebrating the most important time in her life she has to deal with the infamous paparazzi, snapping the worst pictures of her.

Can you even really consider them the worst?

Headlines like Jennifer Love Hewitt: 'A Size 2, Fat!' is not the message we should be sending to young girls. Many young girls are over obsessed as it is over body weight, fashion, and looking like celebs. How many girls trying to accomplish this is astounding at the least. From starvation, to bulimia, to anorexia, this just names a few of the many steps young girls are now facing.

As Hewitt blasted back at media in her blog about calling her fat, as she is a size 2, this is what she said:

"Like all women out there should, I love my body," Hewitt, 28, wrote on her blog after photos of her in a bikini hit the Web. "I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family."

"I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image."

She adds, "A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful. … To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong."

All this while vacation at a Hawaiian getaway with fiancé, Scottish actor Ross McCall.

To all the people out there who agree with the media calling a size 2 fat, get a life!

Whippin into Shape...



Part of being fashionable, is feeling beautiful in what you are wearing. Many women now-a-days, have some insecurity or just dont feel beautiful. I feel a big part of feeling beautiful on the inside and out, not only takes great looking clothes, it takes a person feeling secure with who they are. What's better than buying new clothes to make yourself feel better? A great workout! Healthy eating and exercise are vital to a fashionista's wardrobe. This is why I decided to whip myself back into shape. Not that I am not in shape, I am very slender and healthy...but it takes more than that. I not only should be slim, but lean (muscle building) and put the best and healthiest foods in my mouth.

So you want to know what I did?

I hired a personal trainer! This is superb for a person of my caliber. I have the schedule of 2-3 people combined, when it's ultimately just me. I am tired because of this schedule. Lastely because of my schedule, hectic lifestyle, and busy days I typically never eat a home cooked meal. BAD IDEA, for starters. How many of you can vouche for having days like this 24/7. So with this personal trainer I plan to not only take the necessary steps to a healthier lifestyle, it will definitely shine through. Anyone interested in getting a personal trainer like myself, seek out the DIVA Extraordinare. I have great contacts, and oh I plan to start a cardio bootcamp with my personal trainer. So like I said it not only takes a sense of fashion to be a fashionista, it takes a healthy mind, body and soul.
