At this point I think everyone is tired of seeing Rihanna. But let’s get real for a moment, she is pretty much the only celebrity to marvel at right now. Her sense of style is fitting everyone’s fashion rolodex as of late, leaving us to wonder what everyone else is doing during this recession. Anyways, I am just curious as to know what everyone thinks of Rihanna’s ever evolving style lately….are we loving it?

I hope that you ladies had a great weekend. Your girl has been busy this past weekend (my mama is moving), so that is why there was no post on Friday. But let me just tell you….this spring has been really jinky! I mean there is nothing in sight as of late but clouds here in the city. I am talking about – it’s so bad, that you wake up pretty much everyday to dreary clouds in the sky. It’s like the April’s showers have skipped into the month of May and have decided to stay. Either way…there are some of us who don’t mind seeing clouds…only on clothing, shoes, & accessories! Stella McCartney really has tricks up her sleeve, resulting in patrons (like myself) smiling…and tapping our third eye all at the same time. I mean let’s face it….this recession has really put a damper on everything. So much so…people have been really questioning fashion all at this point. Can you believe it? Ok, let me stop acting like I don’t start questioning certain things…but there are times like these where I knew designers on a personal note! Case in point….Stella McCartney’s S/S could-print goodies, which stay on warehouse shelves at our online mecca we love to call Net-A-Porter. Now the collection is adorable, but I would love to put Stella McCartney on total blast for throwing a $495 price tag on just an “organic cotton” T-shirt. Let’s just hope that irregular versions of these T-shirts miraculously find themselves on racks of Fall sample sales to come. Until then check out some of the more affordable “cloudy” items that may bring out that sunshine on your faces – after the jump! Let’s go!

OMG…before anyone gives me the third degree – please note that I will surely stick by my love for all things Tie Dye. My obsession has lasted since I was a teenager….and now that I am one foot closer to the grave, I think that my obsession has worsen. Oh gosh..do you ladies remember when MIU MIU featured Tie-Dye on a few satchel pieces back in 2006? If so, then you already know that it was definitely a wrap for me! And with the summer almost here…my eyes have been heavily glued to a few goodies via American Apparel. And if you know me well…you would know that I am a “basics” type of  girl all the way through. And after seeing a pair of Tie-Dyed leggings in person via American Apparel I have been debating if I should bite the bullet on dropping $34 dollars just on a pair of leggings. Overall, the Tie-Dye look is back on a serious note! This season, celebrities & trendsetters have been on a hardcore mission donning Balmain’s Vintage Tie Dye Motorcycle Jeans priced at a whopping $2,464. Oh, and let’s not forget that J Brand has really stepped up to the plate  this spring thanks to their popular $217 Thrasher Pencil Leg Jean – which features a acid washed / tie dye like exterior. And just think that I am in heavy debate over a mere $34….right? Perhaps I need to clam down all the way through and make that American Apparel purchase…ha! Geez, well anyway check out the stats on the goodies shown above – after the jump!

Ok, so last summer the internet & street went crazy over the gladiator sandal. Which (believe it or not) is back on the scene on a more subtle note. Nothing too extravagant….with the exception of a few studded pieces here and there. I think that I will create another post later this week sometime trekking back on last seasons trend. But for the moment…let’s focus on what’s kicking up buzz-worthy talk for the spring & summer of 2009. If you have been keeping watch (like I have), you would know that this spring & summer follows suit like every season. Thus, leaving us on a eagle-like “woman- hunt” for the best selection of trendy sandals.  Ruffles & pleated front sandals & pumps have been marking strict territory lines throughout the city streets.  Lately, trend spotters are BEJEWELED by the shiny rhinestone / crystal combinations remixed into sleek simply strapped sandals.  So far, Old Navy (believe it or not) has really been tapping into a cool collection of summer footwear – simply PERFECT for us budget shoppers. And high end designers have been really capturing my attention with their collection of cool jelly sandals – which might need further investigation in person. Either way, it’s about that time ladies to break out the nail enamel….and get our toes ready to for the up coming summer months. Check out the stats after the jump!

I think that I’ve seen it all….well at least I did when it comes down to accessories. From human hair jackets, lego pendants, and hamburger telephones…I thought that accessories have covered every end of the spectrum. I mean…let’s be real – there are just some craft & very innovative people on this planet we love to call earth. And if I didn’t know any better…spending endless hours on the computer will take a toll on your brain. But there are some who have found sheer inspiration for all things pixelated…keyboard infused…and all things warped into a supreme must-have item for the summer. I am a girl who doesn’t mind trying new things…so check out the stats on some of my latest obsessions – after the jump!

I hope that you ladies had a fabulous Mothers Day weekend. Over the weekend I got into some good “girlie talk” with my younger sister, whom might I add is just one of those stylish young ladies! And I am not just saying that because she is my sister. While she is away at school, prepping to come home for the summer – she had asked me about any recommendations for the summer. So naturally my brain starts cranking out ideas…..and well fashion is all about ideas & recycled trends…right? But there are some trends that fashionista’s are a adamant of taking a chance on. And that is transforming themselves into the summer-time Gypsy Queen. Where tye-dye blended threads set the scene. And before you break fly on the notion of every sporting “Tye-Dye”….understand that I am not telling you to warp back into the days where the Grateful Dead rocked out half of the population out of their seats. In fact, I am asking you to place your lovely eyes on romance at it’s fullest. The idea of anything “Gypsy-inspired” may automatically throw up the red flags for some….but understand that the trend itself showcases a romantic theme of flowing dresses, dreamy deep hues, & that subtle and yet dominate staple that will definitely make heads turn this summer. I really have my eyes pressed on a few goodies for the upcoming summer…which reminds me that there will be a few “What I Wore” posts to come in the near future. Check out the stats after the jump!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY: To all of the red hot mamas who walk to earth! And while I (personally) feel that everyday should be mothers day, some way some how….our calendars are marked for May 10th – where the world takes the time to acknowledge the hardest there is. And please keep in mind that these hard workers never get paid for staying up endless nights to tend to their offspring. Thank goodness for mothers! I have yet to experience motherhood…but when that day comes, I am quite sure that I will work on overdrive to be the best mom I can be to my future kids. Until then, I stay on track (as best as I can) of all of the lovely celebrity mothers whom I love to watch from afar. And I’ve taken to time to culminate a list of my favorite top 25 celebrity moms – check out who I’ve picked after the jump! I’m just curious to know…who is your favorite celebrity mom?
