Allure Magazine's Frequently Flubbed Style Words
One of the things that irritates me most, is the hatchet job folks do the the name Vuitton.
Like literally I want to yell, "It's VEE- ton you idiot, not VUH- ton"
Sheesh!
Anywho, the folks over at Allure Magazine feel my pain. Don't come my way yakking about a damn Birkin, if you make an "H" sound when you say Hermes.
This list rocks!

Nicki Minaj for OPI
My personal thought is that OPI is borrowing from the book of MAC. Tons of limited collections that always end up looking like something already in production.
......And goes the next shot, lol.
The limited-edition collection of six colors are inspired by the star’s songs on her debut album “Pink Friday.”
The line includes Pink Friday (a creamy bubblegum hue), Metallic 4 Life (a charcoal sparkle), Super Bass Shatter (a purple, graffiti art-inspired topcoat effect), Save Me (a silver-rainbow glitter), Fly (an electric aqua) and Did It On ‘Em (a fluorescent lime).
Collection drops Jan 2012.

Kanye West Spring Summer 2012
So Yeezy's yak about his uber tight guest list was all for not. Celebrities had great things to say about his collection. The thing is, their opins don't matter. Buyers and editors hated the collection and those are the only 2 opinons that matter. Buyers purchase clothes for retailers. Editors use looks for shoots.
Without editors and buyers on his side...dude is just playing dress up.

18 Best Skin Cleansers from totalbeauty.com
I'm a skin junkie..which you'd never guess because I have terrible skin. Years of obsession and thousands of dollars later, I'm very close to great skin. For me, good skin is a full time job. Keeping my dermatologist on speed dial, dropping wads of cash on products, and foregoing popular makeup lines are going to be a way of life.

When it Rains, It Burns
This has been a week for the books. All kinds of upheaval that I'm convinced is the result of Mercury in retrograde.
Yesterday, using a blow dryer and brush that I've had forever, I managed to burn a plug of hair.
Of course, I was headed somewhere.
Of course, it's in the top of my head.
Of course I'm too worn down to give a shit.

Big Rich Texas
D Magazine is one of the more polarizing publications in this city. People seem to love it or hate it. I tend to like it, since my friends are featured regularly. And, by regular I mean months other than the controversial “black folks issue”.
Anywho, I will be importing Merritt Patterson’s (he writes for D Magazine) recap of the reality show, docu-drama, Big Rich Texas into my blog.
Lalah Hathaway + Kirk Whalum
It's possible this post should be called Kirk Whalum + Lalah Hathaway- especially since "It's What I Do" is Kirk's song. The thing is, I can't see myself putting Lalah's name after any name other than maybe Patti, Aretha, Donny, or Stevie.

Back to School Sale @ Folica.com
Sometimes I think God gets distracted. He turns his attention away from me when he really shouldn't. I've been a girly-girl my whole life. Somehow he let me own a hair salon, allowing me to buy things at licensed required beauty supplies.

What to Wear?
The quickest way to irritate me is to spout off a fashion "rule". Only unfortunate looking souls who can't pull together a decent look need the damn things. Besides, most are preferences, not rules. Once you get passed VPL, I'm sure everything else is up to interpretation (honey, nobody wants to look at panty lines cutting across your wide ass).

Trina Turk Comes Home
Here's the deal. For me, the phrase "one of my favorite brands" usually means, "one of the brands a curvy girl like me can wear".
I actually have moderate success in Trina Turk. The only things off limits are her skirts and pants. Dresses and tops are always a win!

Tom Ford's Last Dinner With Alexander McQueen
‘But you know if you had written him as a character in a novel, the end would almost inevitably have been the same. He came to a dinner with me a few weeks before he died,’ he says. ‘He looked so sharp and fantastic. Of course, I look at the picture that was taken of us together and think I see a sadness in his eyes that I didn’t notice at the time. But that, of course, is hindsight.’

FLOR
For years, I've used Flor tiles in my designs. I've always been forced to rely on the design builder via the Flor.com site. For a while Design Within Reach had a few samples and placed orders, but still....no access to every product Flor had to offer.
Before and After
As August approaches, folks are settling into new homes. Summer months are busiest for designers. Everyone wants to be done moving before the school year. Kiddos or not, summer traditionally sees the most market movement for buyers.
