Monday Morning Head Games, Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Ball

Last September, Vogue Paris celebrated its 90th anniversary at the Hotel Pozzo di Borgo, and hosted by Carine Roitfeld. The event of course was everything that you would dream and much much more. Filled with chic costumed and masked editors from all over, my most favorite photos however are those of Anna Dello Russo in her hotel room preparing to attend the masquerade ball.

Get the Look; Chanel Summer 2011 Chain Maxi Earrings

Back in January, I came across an amazing DIY featured on WHO WHAT WEAR which I posted here. One because it was Chanel, two because it was an easy inexpensive project, and three because this was an easily achieved kick ass runway to real way look and who doesn't love those.
Having had my share of D.I.Y gone terribly wrong, from cut out leggings, to blonde streaks, to bedazzling sweaters, I've had few tries and many fails. I wanted to give an alternate option for obtaining the Chanel S/S 2011 chain earrings look that didn't require spray paint and wire cutters in the event you are klutzy like me or just short on time.

Check variations of chained style below so you can get the look:

The Birth of Legends

Since childhood, I've long searched for a suitable birthday month to replace my high summer August. For me it just wasn't fun, not being able to show your special birthday outfit off to your friends during the school year.
I've long since adopted March, being iconically the birthday celebratory month for legendary icons who bathe in glitz glitter & glamour everyday of the year. Legendary artist, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Sir Elton John all fall under the Zodiac sign of Aries. Diana Ross, March 26, Aretha Franklin, and Elton John both share March 25,  Said to be adventurous and energetic pioneering and courageous enthusiastic and confident dynamic and quick-witted, it most evident in these legendary icons fashion choices through out the years.

Best Happy Birthday Wishes to the Greatest!

Halle Berry: NAACP Image Awards

Halle Berry not only won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Winner Award for her work in Frankie & Alice at the 42nd NAACP Image Awards held at The Shrine Auditorium on Friday (March 4) in Los Angeles. but she lit up the stage in this winning Emilio Pucci dress, that fit her like a painted portrait.

"If it were not for the NAACP, a little girl like me would not have had wind beneath her wings in a small town in Ohio," she said after accepting the award from Prince.
'I have never been more proud to be a black woman.'
-you and me both Halle, you and me both.
