The fashion scene is getting crushed left right and center. Bad enough Phi is kicking the bucket. But it seems as though the recession, poor management (all across the board), and the lack of enthused shoppers really have a hand in making the retail scene what it is at the current moment. Chickdowntown.com is currently going through some hard financial times. According to Pittsburgh Live the high-end fashion retailer has defaulted on a $973,000 loan issued by Enterprise Bank. Other clothing suppliers and companies are filing suit against the Pennsylvania –based retailer. Chickdowntown.com has kicked open the doors when they first open up shop in 2007, running a series of campaigns via Vogue, Bazaar, & Perez Hilton (just to name a few) . Finally creating a name for itself in the game of high-end womenswear retail, but somewhere down the line customers have been complaining about the …

It’s been a few days since I’ve been back on my blogging grind. It’s the holidays and well…I’ll admit that I’m really not feeling this holiday season. I’ve been somewhat of a Grinch, and I really don’t understand why! That’s neither here nor there…aside from being a Scrooge – I’ve been catching up on some of my favorite celebrities. Case in point, Gwen Stefani! You’ve got to love Gwen, even on an off-day she manages to save face by rocking something hot! Stefani was spotted rocking the Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott “TV DOWN” Jacket that is sold out every where.

I think that one thing that we can all agree upon in regards to fashion is the fast paced seasonal push that we’re all forced to settle with. While winter has set to truly set in, everyone has forgotten about the first snow flake – and have already gone full swing into the Spring. I on the other hand will take my time to ease myself into the warmer months ahead. With that said, lately I’ve been really coming to grips with the fact that my sense of style has been changing. I’m not into rocking open-toe pumps with stockings when the weather isn’t even appropriate for that kind of set up. Nor am I into baring skin past the month of September, when the constant worry of being ashy along with being out of season soon begins to set in. These are one of the reasons why I …

Your girl is ready to shake loose, and get things jumping for the New Year. I’ve already got my eyes steadily pressed for the Brian Lichtenberg Padded One Shoulder dress that comes in four sexy styles. The only question is; which dress should I choose that will work well with my crazy curves?

I’m sure most of you who are avid fans of Alexa Chung have faithfully tuned into her show – “It’s On with Alexa Chung” for the past two seasons. But MTV has decided to pull the plug on her show. And some of us can’t understand why. Bad enough television is plagued with a series of back to back reality shows. We’re wondering if Viacom will cut the madness and get back to reality on hosting more interesting talk shows without the abominable stereotypical plotlines. Through it all, Alexa Chung has managed to give television viewers a look at her downtown vibe. What I love the most about Alexa Chung’s sense of style, is that fact that she isn’t afraid of wearing the same thing twice. Whether it be a pair of chunky boots, handbag, or T-shirt – you can guarantee that she’ll smile for the paparazzi while …
