the Fashion BLOC: Kohl's and Aldo partner to make shoes FAB!


Today it was announced that beginning Spring 2011, Aldo Group International will design and produce exclusive footwear products to be sold at Kohl's and Kohls.com under select private and exclusive brands. Since 47% of Kohl's sales were as a result of its successful private and exclusive brand strategy in the first quarter of 2010, this team up is just taking the brand one step further. Especially, with footwear being a key growth area (no pun intended). 


According to Don Brennan, senior executive vice president at Kohl's Department Stores, "Kohl's is incredibly excited to announce this unique collaboration with Aldo, who is globally respected for its design expertise and leadership in the footwear industry."


I'm looking forward to what both brands have to offer. Besides with Aldo's Fashion and Kohl's prices, you know a maximizing shoe fashionista such as myself will be present front and center. What do you think of this unique partnership???

the Fashion BLOC: Madewell to Open up 3 more Storefronts!

Of course, you know by now that J Crew's baby, Madewell is online as of this month (GO NOW www.Madewell.com!). Some of my fave lines (H&M, United Colors of Benetton) are still not online meaning you can only go into a store in order to get their glorious things. Hopefully, they will join Madewell in this new journey.


But for Madewell, it wasn't enough for them to make their FIRST online debut, J Crew clearly doesn't just want to stop there. In fact, they are planning 3 more storefronts for University Village in Seattle, Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio, and Georgetown in Washington D.C, to bring the total count of Madewell boutiques to 20 in the U.S. 


Is this the New World Madewell takeover?! I think so. Do I like it? Yes, I do.

the Fashion BLOC: Dolce & Gabbana join forces with Martini to lift "spirits"


What's better than shopping while having a drink? I'll answer that for you, not very much can beat that combo. If you feel the same way I do, you are gonna jizz at the very thought of this new partnership. None other than our fave Italian designers, Dolce & Gabbana have partnered up with Bacardi's vermouth brand, Martini for a rare but much needed match-up which includes bars at their stores in Milan and Shanghai and the launch of a menswear line. Its said they have tasted and will unveil this glorious drink during Milan's Menswear Fashion Week. What I love is that D & G is taking a non-conventional route of wine and spirits with this partnership unlike other groups who have done jewelry, perfume, hotels, etc.  It takes innovation to sustain such a brand and I can't wait to see (taste) this new venture! I'm sure we will see Madonna taking a sip in campaigns for D&G all over. 



Happy Early 20th Anniversary Dolce & Gabanna Menswear!

the Fashion BLOC: 5 things I love this year.................... so far



From Atlanta, Miami to Tampa, I realized there are a plethora of things I love and now can not live without:


1) All the shades of juicy RED lips! Red lipsticks and glosses have been an old fave but one I have never tried. Well, with a little nudge I got inspired. Some suggestions I have are: Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme in Fire, Wet N Wild Hot Red, Rimmel London Sienna Red and New York Color Sheer Ruby Lipgloss


2) Floral and striped. I know it sounds crazy but is a huge hit this year especially when its done right. It gives that quirky yet polished look, at least to me. While shopping for my vaca, I saw a girl with the assemble and immediately had to switch focus. **The key is blending the two pieces with one color from each piece


3) Chunky and Charm accessories. Usually I hate chunky accessories for the summer, but this year they are all too hot to resist! From chunky necklaces to charm bracelets, the look brings a layered look to a light clothing time of year. Check out Jackson's Runaway!


4) Short shorts. For a while there, I had given up on short shorts because I thought I had outgrown them or that they may be a little too much. But I have come to realize that as with anything, there is a science. Obviously, you don't want your butt cheeks to come out to play and you don't want them to be too tight; avoid the "wrinkle effect" in the front. As with everything, yet again, the short shorts have to be flattering and for me, they have to be fly. Lots of pockets, cool design, random color, etc. Its too many to choose from and we shouldn't shy away from it....in other words, show off those legs!


5) Lucky's tips to fix the most common FIGURE roadblocks. We all have those areas we need to work on and while we work on them or NOT why not find ways to still make them all look amazing. Hence, their tips. Check it out: Flatter Any Figure 


I'm sure there are more...but for now, these are my faves :D what's your's?

fashion BLOC: All Hail McQueen!


Fresh out of retirement and a new model at IMG where she got her model beginnings, Tyra Banks is paying homage to her late friend, Alexander McQueen. So in order to pay tribute, Tyra wore head to toe McQueen in an over the top fashion spread for her online magazine, www.tyra.com. "McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community," she said on her site. "I would like to think that he would have loved these photos." She also plans to continue this tribute on the latest and final season of "American Next Top Model". McQueen took his own life in February. Great job Tyra!

the Picture House: Sex and the City 2 Trailer & More Buzz


With SATC2 quickly approaching its only fair that a huge fan like myself give all my fellow fans some buzz on what's in store for the part 2. However, if you're anything like me; you've tried very hard to avoid all trailers and buzz but needless to say, they make it very hard for you to guess anything anyway. Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Kim Cattrall (Samantha), Kristin Davis (Charlotte), and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) have been promoting like crazy and I am soooo looking forward to the sequel.

The cast told MTV the part 2 is set 2 years later and Carrie is about to publish her fourth book. "She is content," Sarah Jessica Parker teased. "She and her husband, John, have found a nice and modest apartment, and they are living their lives, and she is seeing her friends as much as time allows." Vague? Yes, but as you know thats SJP's style.

As for Charlotte, SJP said she is still married to Harry and is "still comfortable with the name Goldenblatt."

Kristin Davis added a little bit more information to that domesticated image. "I have two children now. [Lily] is two years older than last time. [Charlotte's] been baking," she said.

But Charlotte and Carrie aren't the only "Sex" characters that had remained happily married. Cynthia Nixon shared that Miranda is still happily married as well.

"Miranda only has one child. [She's] married to Steve, living in Brooklyn, still employing Magda, still working as a lawyer, still having brunch with the ladies," Cynthia said.

SJP said Samantha is happily married as well — to her public relations business.

SJP also told Indian Express, "It [SATC2] has the cinematic scope of Laurence of Arabia. But it is a romp. It's a caper. It's a caper with heart. I never in a million years thought we would be in the dunes of the Sahara desert, shooting a movie, on camels, dressed in the most inappropriate clothes and in heels," which you can totally get from the previews. The stills from Abu Dhabi are enchanting yet almost random for SATC but who knows where this takes the 4 soul mates.

ON the other HAND, the theatrical trailer gives you an antsy Carrie bored with married life, a possible Stanford and Anthony wedding with a Miley Cyrus performance, a definite reunion with Aidan which equals trouble, some NEW cutie for Samantha, not to mention, some fab fashions from Patricia Field. All I can say is, is it May 28th yet?


Enjoy.................

fashion BLOC: Tarnished Hardware - No Biggie!

We've all went through it and probably gotten rid of some of our fave bags just because the hardware (clasps or grommets) get an ugly black tarnish or get scuffed. According to handbag designer, Heather Hawkins, "use a Krylon metallic leafing pen to draw over the area." Of course, try it out on a spot where no one can see to make sure the colors match but you should be good to go from there and your bag should look like new! 


Pens come in Gold and Copper Leafing Pens, $6.99 each at KMart or $4.25 on Amazon.


Happy Styling!

the Fashion BLOC: Project Runway - Teamed Messery



Its obvious as the season goes on, the stakes are getting higher. Hence, this episode starts out pretty intense.

Challenge: Teams of 2 to create a high-end signature look with $500.

Teams:
Jay and Maya
Jesus and Amy
Anthony and Seth Aaron
Ben and Janeane
Jonathan and Mila
Ping and Jesse
Emilio and Anna

Ping and Jesse seem like they are gonna struggle off the bat. Jesse most likely had his fingers crossed behind his back so she wouldn't pick him but it was inevitable. Ping is driving him insane with her randomness while Mila and Jonathan are perfect for each other. Seth Aaron and Anthony seem to be good but not sure just yet.


At Tim's Check-In...
He tells them they have to make another look that is a "look for less" inspired by another teams look. It has to be under $50 and not to mention, the team has to trust one of their teammates to go pick up the fabric. YIKES!

Jay was not even trying because he has immunity and we all know how Klum and Kors feel about people like that. Anthony is determined to work with Seth Aaron despite him being an arse which shows a lot about his character. He really knows how to work with different people, I like that ! ...AND Jesse and Ping continue to bicker and even though, Jesse told her the fabric she chose looked cheap she didn't listen although, Tim agreed. Most of them scramble, sashay, and do nothing to the very end.....man this is really season of the SaSHAY?!

To the Runway...

Judges Kors, Nina Garcia, Matthew Williamson and Klum announced that 1 or more may be getting cut. hmmm...

Nina told Mila she "really loved her signature" but they hated their look for less.

Kors calls Anthony's dress a "southern cotillion party from hell".

Despite a major diss to Seth Aaron and Anthony, Seth confronted them and said it was a 50/50 decision and he stands behind it 100% which was quite commendable. I don't know how many times I have watched people throw other people under the bus but he stood up to them. YAY AGAIN and about time someone stood up to them!

Despite the judges distaste for the look for less, Mila WINS with her signature look that was fun yet elegant and cool. A fab suit that separated her from the rest. On the other hand, Ping FINALLY got the boot and her poor execution finally bit her in the arse. This episode was filled with ups and downs, I'm sure that was only half of what will we see for the rest of this season. STAY TUNED....

the Outer Limits: Groundhog goes Digital....

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA is known for their infamous Groundhog Day celebration where "Phil" predicts our weather future. Its tradition for this town and for as long as I've known it has always been that way but ummm ALL OF A SUDDEN....this year, PETA is proposing a robotic groundhog that replaces Phil. They claim there is no reason to keep him captive to only subject him to bright lights and huge crowds. Even though, Phil is kept in a climate-controlled area and is inspected on an annual basis by the state Department of Agriculture. Even, William Deeley, president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, says the animal is "being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania." LOL! I'm not even gonna touch that.


Anyhoot, these PETA activists are clearly bored and have nothing else to fight for....who cares about Polar Bears and Penguins when a groundhog is running the show....Nevertheless, I wonder how PETA plans on getting Phil out of there??? I wonder if they will do like Bill Murray did in this clip from Groundhog Day......ENJOY!
