TREND REPORT ** SPRING WRAP-UP

Leopard Bags

I love this trend. I'm not a huge fan of patten hence why all of bags are solid-colored. But I really want a leopard bag particularly like this one or a funky Betsey Johnshon one.


60S coats

I find this trend extremely romantic and classy. Think playful spring colors: pinks,yellows and light blues!


Military vests & jackets

Sure,you're too delicate for the army but a military vest is the next best FASHIONABLE thing.


Color blocking

You may or may not know but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of colors. Sure ,I have my Katy Perry days but 8/10 times-I'm in cool or pastel colors. But I'll give this look a try this summer :) I'll try anything once...


Platform heels

*swooooon*


Trench dresses

Love this! This is a statement piece. Don't overkill with leggings or jewelry!!!




Preppy Prep

Let's all pretend we're rich,beautiful and have lots of drama. Some of you may already be these things... Bring out the blazers,riding boots and pastel cardigans!


Big Bangles &

Lucite jewelry


Citrus colors

Instead of looking like an orange (*cough* Snooki) wear orange instead. What a fun way to bring the summer in...


Blue nail polish

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE. I'm rocking this color right now

xoxo

On a musical note...

THESE AMAZING ALBUMS ARE IN STORES NOW! ALSO AVAILABLE ON ITUNES & AMAZON. Support good music!

"LOUD"-Rihanna's 5th album gives us the tantalizing Urban Pop we crave.And that made the Bajan songstress a household name. With tracks like "What's my name" "Only girl in the world" and "Raining Men" this is definitely another Platinum record for the 22 year old beauty.


"My beautiful dark twisted fantasy"-Kanye West's 5th album is the lovechild of his last album "808's and Heartbreak" and "Late Registration". The controversial rap genius creates the perfect Hip Hop album with tracks like "Blame Game" ft. Kid Cudi and the hit "Runaway" with Pusha T. Mr. West has done it again with perfect sampling,flawless metaphors and melodic delivery.


"Pink Friday"-Nicki Minaj's debut album is full of wacky voices,catchy beats and good lyrics.The worlds of Pop and Hip/Hop-Rap collide on this record. Miss Minaj rose to fame with her many features this year & seemingly simple defeat of conquering the billboard charts without an album. This is truly a treat from the opener "I'm the Best" to super pop bonus tracks like "Girls fall like dominoes". Nicki also has her own pink lipstick from M.A.C. titled "Pink Friday".

Chez Rone:The New and Ultra Fab Street Boutique

Chez Rone is a rookie the street boutique business but you could never tell by their chic and super affordable clothing and accessories.

Chez Rone’ Boutique Infuses Street Wear With Glam for New Online Shop:
Chez Rone’ Features Street Glam Fashion Brands for Women, by Women.

Kansas City, Mo - May 17, 2010.New street glam boutique, Chez Rone’
(ChezRone) brings feminine glam to the male dominated street wear fashion culture. Featuring independent brands from women designers across the country, Chez Rone’s selection of clothing, jewelry, shoes, bags and accessories fills the void for women wanting glamorous pieces with street
wear appeal.

Street wear fashion,made famous by skateboard teens, mixtape Djs, and rave scenters, seldom includes merchandise for women who love the culture,but also love feminine glamour.Chez Rone’ co-owner, Gabrielle Rone’understood this dilemma firsthand.“Much respect to street wear brands that authentically promote the culture,but I get sick of having to choose between that side of me and the side that wants to be glamorous and sexy,”says Gabrielle.“I started Chez Rone’ to highlight brands that seamlessly blend both street and glam fashion-a street glam boutique.”

Paige Rone’,buyer of Chez Rone’,scouts indie designers everywhere from Facebook to sneaker conventions.A featured brand on Chez Rone’, must meet two requirements: 1. Brands must represent authentic street glam fashion; 2. Women designers only.“Chez Rone’ lives the brands we feature,” says Paige.“Everything from the merchandise to the actual designers represents street glam fashion for women.”

By featuring indie women brands only, Chez Rone aims to navigate the street glam concept to the forefront of the street wear scene, earning women more options and opportunities.

OverBra Shapewear

I went to a press day event for OverBra Shapewear yesterday. In case you didn't know-OverBra Shapewear is THE revolutionary shaper that slims your back and midriff while accentuating your cleavage. There's five different OverBra designs. There's the Original OverBra,Midriff, Longline,The Slip and Body Shaper.

Original OverBra

Midriff OverBra

Longline OverBra

Slip OverBra

Bodyshaper OverBra

I think it's a really interesting and unique design.The fabric is really soft,lightweight and breathable. It doesn't bunch up underneath clothing and it's very affordable. I got The Slip OverBra. I wish I got the Longline OverBra but I still adore it. Can't wait to wear it. Thank you everyone at OverBra:D
