Buy-buy Reco?

For those of you that have been tuning in to The Fashion Show on bravo, thursday nights at 10pm, have defintely been taking in the unique creativity of prospective designers for this competition. The winner will have their line sold in the retail market and pocket $125 k! Just to recap, the show featured 15 professional designers who aspire to be on the same level as Gucci or Prada and every week one gets the boot. Out of the last 4, (2 girls and 2guys), Reco was sent home. I was quite intrigued by his creativity and he is defintiely not afraid to experiment with colours. But I guess that was not enough to keep him in the runnings. However, he was grateful for the experience and unbeknownst to many, he owns the studio 423 Clothing Boutique of Chattanooga, TN and is the Creative Director of his own line, “The House of Chapple,” which he describes as a lifestyle line that includes everything from luxurious gowns to sultry swimsuits and is branching out into fragrances, jewelry, and even books aimed at helping young entrepenuers. I would purchase his clothes! For more info on Reco and other designers visit www.bravotv.com/the-fashion-show. I'll definitely update on the final 3 and even the winner. This is Fashionista Newz!

Romp 'round in Rompers!

Girls you can feel the summer heat! Ice-cream and popsicle sales have skyrocketed and your clothes have been stifling the air outta ya. What a better way to beat the heat by not only staying hydrated but wearing minimal and airy apparel ! I don't mean going bikini-style and walking around in your swim suits but you can wear little and still look super sweet and not skanky. My fellow Fashionistas, welcome to the world of rompers! It can be worn casual or dressy depending on the event, with or without a top inside or accessorize it. They come in all styles such as halter or cross back, shorts, capri-length, long or bell bottomed. During the summer day, it's best to wear cotton rompers which allows your body to breathe and not retain any sweat if you do. At night, spice rompers up with super cute wedges or high heels and accessorize with matching earrings, bangles or clutch.

Other Tips: Girls with small boobs can manipulate deep v-neck cut or halter rompers to accentuate their bust line. Boob-a-licious girls can wear frilled-topped rompers that draws attention away from their chests or even wear bell-bottom rompers that pulls the eyes off your boobs and more to your hips and legs.

Even if your on a recession-proof budget and don't want to buy a romper...IMPROVISE...you can pair up your elastic waist tube top and shorts of the same colour or do it colour-block style and pair 1 colour tube top with another colour shorts. No-one will know, once you accessorize it with a belt or sash or even...a scarf. Yes! take your winter scarf and turn it into a waistband/ belt. The sky's the limit with fashion my dears. So have fun and enjoy. This is Fashionista Newz!

Memorial for MJ, King of Pop 4eva!

Greeting fellow Fashionistas! What a week it has been ofcourse in regards to Michael Jackson's Memorial on Tuesday 7th July 2009. No-one can believe that the King of Pop is really gone. I know he's not God but how will we be able to explain the hype of who Michael Jackson is to us from since the 60's to the new unborn generation? Now in Congress for the most outstanding humanitarian, it just goes to show that he was not just an 'entertainer.' Michael executed every song, dance, performance, charity work to the best of his super-human abilities which is more than 100% and I think it is time the media takes the time to honour that. If we took all the music, songs, dances, videos and humanitarian works done by MJ and collaborated it in a documentary, it will take days to watch...he cannot be compared to any.
Over 170,000 patrons emerged for his memorial with performances by his brother Jermaine Jackson, Usher, Mariah Carey, John Mayer etc. Brooke Shields, Queen Latifah, Martin Luther King III & sister, congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee offered exceptional speeches and 1 of the most touching moments was captured when Jackson's daughter Parris broke down in tears about what a great dad Michael was! In addition, Michael's brothers were his pal-bearers. Again my condolences to the Jackson family especially Mrs. Katherine Jackson- may God be with you all!
Fashionistas....life is literally short...one day you have it, the next day it can be gone. Make the most of life and know that a smile goes a long way as well as treat others the way you would like to be treated. Much Love. This is Fashionista Newz!

Sweet Swimsuit Styles for your Shape!

Ok girls, the 4th of July is here and for most of us, we would either be at the beach or at a pool bar-b-q and wearing the sweetest swimsuit is a must. But please remember this- not because it is made in your size you wear it. I'm not saying to not have confidence in yourself and your body but as a woman, you will be appear more attractive when the garments fit and flow nicely on your unique shape. So I'm sure you've heard it but I'll reiterate it. As women the Bs either have their own minds or we have them under control for a while but at the end of the day we have to love ourselves regardless..yes girls I'm talking about the Butt, Boobs and Belly.

FOR GIFTED GIRLS WITH BOOTY AND BIG BUST, I recommend the first swimsuit; the wire cups with the patterns gives your boobs a lift with shape (no sagging here) and the bottoms sit low on the hip which with the patterns steers away from your ba-dunk-a-dunk.

br>FOR GIRLS WITH THE CURVY BUTT, I suggest bikini bottoms with full coverage with or without patterns to slim your bum within your shape.

FOR GIRLS WITH A BELLY, try colour block swim suits that draws the eyes away from your stomach or even a tankini if you want more of a bikini style.

FOR THE BOOB-ALICIOUS GIRLS, deep v-neck styles or wire-cupped bikini tops compliments your assets.

AND FOR THE GIRLS SMALL ON TOP, you have no restrictions; you get to flaunt what you got girl! bikini tops with triangular shapes or those with frills believe it or not adds to your bust line.
