http://www.blogigo.com/I_Love_Your_Style Do you ever look at your favorite celebirties and think "damn I wish I could afford that outfit?"Do you ever look at their makeup and wish you too could have that flawless look?Do you want that million dollar look for a hundred dollars? Well that's why I'm here.I've always believed that where there is a will there is a way.I see outfits all the time on the red carpet and think that I may not be able to afford that outfit but then I walk into the mall and see the outfit on the rack at a store such as Forever 21,Pretty Woman, Macy's,etc. Here you will find fastion,make-up,and skin care do's and don'ts.And I will show you how to get the red carpet look on a prom budget.This is where Vogue,Glamour,Vanity Fair,and InStyle meet the local mall. So welcome to a place where hopefully you will look at the suggestions and clothes and say "I love your style!"

Beyonce takes risks and that's what fashion is all about...taking risks.     Tocarra Jones @ Michael Jordan's XX2 party I love Tocarra!As a full figured woman she has talked about having a hard time finding clothes that fit her correctly,but she always seems...

I don't have the faintest clue as to who she is but her fashion was so bad, I just had to mention her.

The trend setter such as Dorothy Dandridge, Billie Holiday, Diana Ross, and Josephine   Baker are now honored by other entertainers. Beyonce, Halle, Zoe Saldana, and Sanaa Lathan are just a few of the celebrities that   transform into the women of yesterday and I must say these women of today definitely do the women of yesterday justice.

With the right outfit and accessories you can’t go wrong with a trench coat. Many remember this piece being worn by Jackie O but now celebrities such as Sela Ward, Beyonce, Halle Barry, and even Oprah can be seen wearing a trench on the red carpet. I for one think that it’s a great fashion statement and makes a good outfit look great.    Jackie O Oprah My Picks DKNY Women's Wool Trench Coat $159.99 Double-breasted Trench (LA REDOUTE PARIS) $44.99   Sun, 05 Nov 2006 01:30:00 +0100 http://www.blogigo.com/I_Love_Your_Style/Timeless-Fashion-Trench-Coats/3/ http://www.blogigo.com/I_Love_Your_Style/Timeless-Fashion-Trench-Coats/3/ There is always a new shoe that's "in",for me that shoe is a wedge shoe.I find these shoes to be comfortable and very unique.Celebirties wear them all the time Kimora Lee Simmons,Naomi Campbell,and Beyonce' are three of the many celebirties that I've seen rocking wedges.
