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.

"Black Friday"



Not that it is officially over, what is Black Friday to you? Is it a day to get the hottest deals, spend way too much money, full of scams? What's your take? Where did you find the hottest deals in fashion this year?

Unfortunately I did not go shopping on Black friday for the first time in a long time. I'm used to waking up at the crack of dawn, more like 4 or 5 am to eventually get the hottest deals.

Well....

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but if your lucky enough many employers give the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. So you tell me, which stores had the best doorbusting deals? Also, just out of curiosity does anybody know how the name "Black Friday" came about?

Perfect Party Dress!


White House Black Market, $148

Being that I formally worked at the White House Black Market, I know exactly what they offer. Also being that it is my favorite boutique style store, I can definitely say this is the perfect party dress. The sliming black dress offers silhouettes that feature novelty detailing, playful accents and clean lines and shapes. This dress is a definite for a day on the town, that could easliy transition into a very elegant evening cocktail dress.

Virtual Modeling



Yes, I did say virtual modeling. Can you believe what our world is coming to? No need for real models, real runways, or real clothes. Huh? Being a model myself I would be very suprised if the world of virtual modeling took of actual modeling. Well take a look at this video that I provided that shows virtual models modeling Targets clothing line. What do you think, do you think that eventually there will be no need for models, because of virtual modeling?

The Infamous Jennifer Hudson


I have to say I think this is the best she’s ever looked. Hudson has definitely molded herself into a work of art. From her first debut on American Idol, where many thought she couldn't survive in the "cut throat industry," she has definitely made a name for herself. Losing all the weight in the public eye has made her more confident and especially more sophisticated. Losing all of her excess weight has definitely given her a stepping stone into the world of petite fashion. JH is on a roll, and I’m becoming an eager spotter of her on the red carpet.

Hair Dont's...


Crazy hair day? Wait...nevermind. Well you have to admit this is a funny picture of Brit!


Wow, now I have seen some pretty bad hair extensions, this just tops them all. My question is, how can someone with so much money and probably thee best hair stylist available have such bad hair extensions. Lesson learned= doesn't matter how much money you have, your hair can still turn out like this.


Whoa, what is she growing in that harvest of hers? This hair do looks like shes got birds living in the top of her nest.


My first question is: what is she laughing at? Second: What possesed her to come out the house like that? Third: That is really scary!

Please do not mimick these celebrity hairstyles!
