Best Dressed at The Emmys!

Claire Danes topped my list of best dressed actress at the 62nd Prime Time Emmy Awards, which aired Sunday, August 30th. Claire Danes looked stunning and was classic Hollywood in this Armani Prive strapless golden creme gown from his Fall 2010 Couture line. This gown is beautiful in it's simplicity and it dazzled because of it's sparkle and it's fit! Many actresses in the past. have worn the perfect dress but they end up committing the cardinal sin of over accessorizing or they don't know what to do with their hair. Claire Danes was flawless and was very smart not to add any jewelry, except for small earrings, to this gown. Her hair and makeup topped of this beautiful creation.


Rounding off my top five best dressed Emmy dresses are: Mariska Hartgitay of CSI Special Victim's Unit, Nina Dobrev of the CW's Vampire Diaries, Eva Longoria Parker of Desparate Housewives and Kyra Sedgwick of "The Closer". Nina Dobrev of the CW's "Vampire Diaries" sizzled in a
one shoulder blush, floral gown from Zuhair Fall 2010; Mariska Hargitay really glowed in a nude Vera Wang Gown; I choose Kyra Sedgwick because she added a burst of color in her Nick Verreous dress to an otherwise black, gold, and nude colored Emmy dress season; and finally Eva Longoria Parker wowed in a black strapless Robert Rodriguez gown.

Kimora Lee Simmons is Leaving Baby Phat!

Kimora Lee Simmons announced Friday August 20, 2010, that she will be dissolving her relationship with Baby Phat and exiting her position as Creative Director on September 1st. Kimora has been with the label for 14 years and has been a great contributor to the fashion industry with her innovative and sometimes, over the top, fashion creations. Although I personally, didn't like all of her daring designs, I must say that she is definitely a marketing Mogul; and it will be extremely difficult to market the Baby Phat label without her because she IS Baby Phat!
Kimora toke to Twitter to let her fans know that although she will not be designing for the Kellwood Company ( the owner of Phat Farm and Baby Phat) that she would still be a vital force in the fashion industry and will channel her passion and love for fashion into her other ventures. Of course her departure is not without controversy. Sources are reporting that Kimora Lee was forced out by the Kellwood Company who has owned Baby Phat and Phat Farm for 7 years. Consequently, whatever the reason for her departure , The Kellwood Company will be hard pressed to find anyone who can fill the void that Kimora will definitely leave. Kimora daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee, who currently are models for the Baby Phat line, will also be severing their relationship with the Baby Phat label. We wish Kimora Lee Simmons the best of luck with her future endeavors and we are sure that we have not heard the last of Mrs. Simmons! Below are some of the fashion legacys that Kimora has graced us with over the years. Farewell, Kimora!!!!

Jeggings...The Must Have Accessory for the Fall!

Fashion designers have definitely reinvented the stretch pant/legging! Designers have now coined the term "jeggings" to introduce the vamped up stylish legging for 2010! What are Jeggings?! Jeggings are basically extremely skinny jeans that look like leggings but without all the restrictions. The jegging slowly made its debut in some 2010 spring lines and I believe they will be all the rage this fall because they are so versatile. Another great style benefit to the jegging is that they are not as exclusive as the legging. With leggings, you had to have a long shirt or a long jacket to conceal your rear and hips because the material was so unforgiving. However, because the jegging is made out of heavier fabrics, you don't have to be so one dimensional in the way that you style the jegging look. Finally, because most fashionista's are suffering through this recession trying to coupe with the lack of disposable cash, the jegging allows you to still be stylish without spending as much revenue. Below are some stylish Jegging looks!
