Would You Dare To Wear?



Leighton Meester's lace Marchesa jumpsuit. Do you love it or hate it?

I'm pretty in to it. It would be nice if it left a little more to the imagination, but the sweet yet naughty edginess of black lace always appeals to me. Even though it should be too much, the vintage, almost burlesque sexiness makes it work. It's different than anything I've seen lately, while still remaining really current.
I don't know if I'd ever have the cajones to wear it, but my inner skank is giving this two thumbs up.

From Police Brutality Victim To Millionaire In 5 Years, It Could Happen To You...


The N.Y. Post (boooo we don't support that paper) did an article recently on the founder of one of SGHI's fave clothing lines Married To The Mob.
Leah McSweeney banked her $75,000 police brutality settlement on making her dream of starting her own clothing line come true. Now she's a 28 year old millionaire!

And if you're unfamiliar with her clothing you can see more here.

Step By Step Guide On How Not To Get Trampled.



Yeah, that's right. This ish is so serious that you need a guide to shopping!

H&M is launching Lanvin for H&M November 20th. Since the collection is in very high demand, we’re expecting a crowd.

What do I do if I arrive before opening hours?

If there is a line, please wait in line, and H&M store staff will inform you on how to shop.

How does the queuing system work?

The first 320 in line will receive one of 16 different colored bracelets, 20 people for each bracelet color; on the bracelet you will be given a specific time for shopping in our designated area. The bracelets are only needed for the women’s collection. Customers buying the men’s collection will not require a bracelet.

When your time slot arrives, you will enter the designated area to shop for 15 minutes. Our goal is to create a better shopping experience for our customers.

If you are not one of the first 320 in line, you will of course have the opportunity to shop from the rest of the collection or within H&M. When the 16 groups have finished their shopping, we will also open up a designated area for all our customers.

To make sure as many customers as possible are able to buy the collection, we have a shopping limit. Every customer can buy from the entire collection, but with a limit of purchasing two pieces per product i.e. not more than two sizes (shoes/garments) or pieces (accessories) per product per customer. The shopping limit covers the entire Lanvin for H&M collection. Your place in line does not guarantee any items from the Lanvin for H&M collection.


Sigh...the guys that are interested are in luck. Hmph! Men don't need bracelets...
Now you need to now where to shop. Not all locations will carry the collection. Form a strategy on which location will be less likely to have you in an altercation.

A True Prince Charming...




I was beside myself this morning when I read that Prince William proposed to his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. The couple has been dating on and off for the last eight years.

I was even more overjoyed when I read his statement about proposing to Kate with his mother's ring. The Prince stated "It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today's excitement and the life we would spend together."

How beautiful and sweet is that, I literally DIED!

I can't wait to see this Royal wedding unfold. From the dress, to the venue, it will all be wonderful I'm sure. I hope everyone's Big moment is as special as there's seem to have been.Until then, I intend to live vicariously through Kate :)

Take a closer look at the ring...

Emma Watson At The Deathly Hallows Premiere.







Child star Emma Watson has grown into a fashion darling as of late. She continued to live up to that title in a feathered and flirty Rafael Lopez for Atelier Mayer dress at The Nov. 11th premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows:Part 1

Encompassing several trends at once, lace, feathers, retro, she manages to look sexy and chic. Which can be hard line to walk for some. Now that's a good look!

Kanye West Performs "Power" Live on SNL




I honestly think this is one of the most amazing and creative live performances I've ever seen. The beauty and strength is in its simplicity, sometimes a laser light show is not what you need to inspire emotion in your audience. Kudos to Mr. West for sending chills down my spine.

9 Tips on How to Dress on a Plane…

I was over at AllWomenStalk when I saw this article on how to dress on a plane.
I think it's a shame that sleepwear-like casual attire has become the travel standard of so many, that it has become acceptable to visit another city or country dressed like a homeless person just because "it's comfortable".
Pajamas are for bed, and an airport/airplane is not a bed or any kind of private space you can pretend is a bed. Look polished at all times. Do it for yourself.



Whether you’re flying for two hours or ten, it’s important that you look the part when you get on, and off, the plane.

Plan your plane outfit as carefully as you plan your holiday looks, and you’ll have a much more comfortable ride!

1. Appearances matter …

Wherever you are, appearances matter, even more so when you’re on a plane. Dress well, and you’ll be the first person considered for an upgrade if one becomes available, and air stewardesses will respond more positively to you. Make sure you look the part!!

2. Do not wear a tracksuit …

However comfortable it is, tracksuits never look good. Even designer tracksuits shouldn’t be worn while traveling. Pick your boarding outfit carefully. Well fitting, tailored trousers will look smart as well as being comfortable, or a smart pair of dark colored jeans. If you are on a very long flight, you can always change into sweatpants when you’re on your way!

3. Wear cashmere …

Cashmere is soft, comfortable and stylish. Wearing a light pink, cream or white cashmere jumper will look classy and ensure you’ll be comfortable for the entire flight. You could also wear a large cashmere scarf, but again stick to pale, neutral colors.

4. Wear ballet flats …

Ballet shoes are available in so many colors and styles now that whatever you’ve chosen to wear there will be a perfect style available. They will be more comfortable and stylish than trainers, and will hurt your feet a lot less than heels!! You can also slip them off if you want to relax your feet, and they don’t take up much room if you want to swap footwear just before you get off.

5. Don’t forget big sunglasses …

Whether you sleep all the way through or you don’t sleep at all, nobody looks their best while on flights. Good quality sunglasses will protect your eyes from the harsh lights, making it easier to sleep, and preventing puffed up eyes. My sunglasses are always the first thing I pack, they make me look effortlessly stylish during the flight and are lifesavers when I’m being too lazy to put my make up back on!

6. Make Up!

Get a cute make up bag and make sure you pack it with essentials. When you get on board, you’ll need to take off your make up, and moisturize a couple of times during your flight. Toothpaste and a toothbrush will keep you feeling fresh, and make sure you’ve got some deodorant. And of course check that you’ve got make up to put back on before you get off!! It’s worth checking the current guidelines on what you can take onboard, and check all your make up passes.

7. A clutch …

Just something simple and chic that will hold your money, your credit cards and your tickets. Make sure it’s in a neutral color and will go will all of your outfits.

8. A well sized bag …

The Louis Vuitton speedy was made for this purpose. A bag that’s big enough to hold your clutch, your make up bag, your iPod, your phone, magazines and books is a must to keep everything together and organized. Again, stick to stylish, neutral tones.

9. Don’t forget about socks …

Make sure you have warm, comfortable socks on, however long your flight lasts. You could also invest in a pair of special flight socks, which maintain circulation in your legs.
By now, you should be ready to fly. Get a good night’s sleep and check your flight time and when you have to be at the airport the night before, and have fun!

New Music !!!

I have been following the progression of the B.I.G. movie and it looks like it is going to be a Great one. I couldn't resist posting this new song by Jadakiss feat Faith Evans called "Letter to B.I.G.". The song is featured in the movie; as an avid lover of Jada's music I have to give a thumbs up on this track... Jada went in...

Take a listen and tell me what you think and if you are interested in seeing the movie.



Is there any New Music out there that you all can't get enough of... if so do share...

New Ish! Word C... I see you!



Hey guys,

So although I am not really feeling the DIVA video that Beyonce just did, the song is growing on me. Now more than ever with this new REMIX that Ciara did. Yep, that's right, your girl Ciara did her thing on the remix... I almost think I like it better than B's. Is she well within her rights for doing this, I mean guys do it all the time, and Beyonce did just copy Cici's "Like a Boy." Equal Opportunity Baby! Check it out and tell me who's the more Popping DIVA.

By the way, Ciara is known for her remixes, after the cut is the remix she did of Janet Jackson's Feedback. I don't know about y'all but I can't wait to go on my "Fantasy Ride"



Feedback Remix

DXG 506V 5.1MP Digital Camcorder & 1GB SD Card



I'm going to scoop up this palm sized digital camcorder as a holiday gift to myself.
It's super portable, you can throw it any handbag, and at about $100.00 it's super cheap too.
At that price it doesn't have the most pixels or whatever (I'm no techno-geek) but it's enough to get the job done. Plus, you may still choose to own higher quality gadgets, but maybe you don't want to take them out everywhere. Expensive technology has a tendency to be sensitive, and break easily. You can take this anywhere and not feel you have to baby the darn thing.
Record a fun night out with your friends, or take it to the theater and start a bootlegging business to make your money back!
