Michael Kors Wins CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Exciting news fashion lovers! On June 7th the Council of Fashion Designers of America honored Michael Kors with their lifetime achievement award. How cool is that?!

Kors, at the age of 50, is the youngest designer to ever take home such a prestigious award. His fabulous designs, which are categorized with designs from Donna Karen, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein collections, have helped configure American Sportswear as we knew it into what it is today- a major driver in fashion.

This talented designer is no stranger to winning awards for his role in fashion. Back in 1999 he won the Womanswear Designer of the Year, which was quickly followed by another award in 2003 for Menswear. Just last week on the 10th Kors was just inducted into the FiFi Hall of Fame. The month of June is shaping up pretty nicely for Mr. Kors.

With an outstanding design philosophy like “make people feel confident and comfortable; help women feel beautiful” there will only be more great things to expect from this accomplished designer.

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Dressed in Pink with a fabulous pair of shoes to match, talk show host, Tami Reed, is a force to be reckoned with! The Cleveland native, who started her show with the intent of inspiring and advising aspiring entrepreneurs, has taken Atlanta by storm.

Since bursting onto the scene in the Fall of 2005, Tami has interviewed major celebrities like Usher, Fergie and Sean Combs and has covered major events like The Grammys and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. She also has appeared on Real Housewives of Atlanta, and, a charming episode of Deserving Design, where she and her husband were treated with a much deserved, surprise wedding reception. All this and the girl still has time to be a dedicated wife and mother to two beautiful children. Impressive!

A vision in any outfit, Tami arrived at the Betsey Johnson event in Atlanta looking amazing in a spaghetti strapped, floral print dress that loyal fans know she bought during a recent shopping trip to the Lenox Mall. Betsey Johnson is Tami’s favorite designer and she is not at all shy about it, “Everyone who knows me, know I love me some Betsey Johnson.” Tami, we couldn’t agree more!

Kelly Cutrone Debuts her New Reality TV Show Kell on Earth

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

People’s Revolution owner, The City cast member, and, one tough cookie, Kelly Cutrone, made her Bravo TV debut last night in her new show Kell on Earth. With a name born from an insult hurled by a nasty, former lover, Kell on Earth gives us a glimpse into the everyday life of the shrewd, successful, and, at times, kinda scary fashionista.

Cutrone calls her reality tv show, Kell on Earth a “girl power show” that highlights brazen business women as they conquer the world while also allowing viewers to follow her life away from the “Priestess Temple” that is People’s Revolution. Behind her hard veneer is a woman who, shockingly, lives in a pink and white house and appears to be a jovial person with a heart of gold.

The other side of Kelly Cutrone is an unexpected and interesting one. We meet a woman who loves to cook “psychic recipes”, which consist of going to the market and asking the food what it wants to become, and someone who includes driving to her home town, Syracuse, with an all black clad entourage, for a trip to her favorite ice rink, on her list of favorite things. At home, Cutrone is in her most important role as mother to adorable, seven year old daughter Ava, and, as she fondly puts it, interracial wife to Ava’s nanny.

With so many insipid reality tv stars stinking up the atmosphere, the introduction of a trend setter and a fashion powerhouse to the fray is a breath of fresh air.

Celebrity Fashion for the New Year

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

ELLE magazine recently ran a fun article on the best celebrity New Year’s Eve dresses. Let’s take a look at some of the photos:

Bright colored dresses

Bright colored dresses

As far as the bright colored dresses go, our personal fav is Sarah Jessica Parker – which kind of surprised us. Her pink cocktail minidress is the most youthful and fun look, despite SJP being the oldest celeb in the picture.

Metallic evening gowns

Metallic evening gowns

Among the more glamorous looks, we have a spread of metallic evening gowns. We’ll eliminate Robin Wright immediately (she looks for forlorn), but both Vanessa Hudgens and Zoe Saldana look absolutely faboulous in bodacious bodyhuggers.

Sparkling minidresses

Next up is an array of sparkling minidresses. In our opinion, neither Diane Kruger nor Taylor Swift have enough curves to pull off their respective looks. Our winner in this set is Fergie all the way.
