Designer T's

i feel the most comfortable in a t shirt and jeans. recently some celebrities were spotted wearing t shirts with logos on them. they are so cute!

Seen below:
Claudia Schiffer, Mischa Barton and Sienna Miller.
I love the way mischa barton paired it with the black shorts and the white blazer. very chic!

There's also the YSL t shirt thats been seen on Kanye West and again on Claudia Schiffer.
This retails for $285 and is available on the ysl website.

Man cleavage.

glamour.com brought my attention to this new trends guys are doing over in hollywood. what is up with guys wearing very low cut shirts and revealing this moobs* to the whole world? but ive got to say this trend is not only in hollywood, we have our fair share of man cleavage here too!

Ed Westwick cleavage is not too bad, maybe because hes hot;p but Adrien Brody... what the hell were you thinking? you might want to fire your stylist!

What do you think of this trend? too much?

*moobs - man boobs

2009 BET awards

After the death of Michael Jackson, the BET reorganized the award ceremony to pay tribute to this icon's life. it was held in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Beyonce made an appearance in a Balmain mini dress. she thanked Michael Jackson for being her teacher and hero. The colors are amazing, love love loveee it!

Kanye West looked great in Timberland's and a cream cardigan. he looks great. His girlfriend and model Amber Rose wore a hugging dress by Alexander McQueen with hot pink pumps.

It happens that singer Amerie wore the same dress as Amber Rose! What a coincidence. I think Amber wore it better, plus her awesome pink pumps made the dress.

Alicia keys shined in a stylish sheer green dress by Jenny Packham and strappy Louboutin sandals.
She wore a silver mini dress also by Jenny Packham for accepting her award. I like the silver dress more.

Estelle wore a mj-inspired glove with an Acne denim dress.


Zoe Saldana wore a white Calvin Klein dress with a front split and a cut out side. she paired it with Brain Atwood heels.
Cassie wore skin tight Mark Fast dress with black Giuseppe Zanotti boots. Her hair is half shaved off. I did not like it at all. Maybe the dress would've looked better if her hair wasn't shaved.


Latoya Luckett is working a Balmain dress and very cool Alejandro Ingelmo heels.

Ciara is wearing a leather ruffled dress from Cynthia Steffe and nude sandals. Not my favorite.

Adrienne Bailon from the Cheetah Girls is look lovely in a silky bubble dress, statement necklace and sexy sandals.
Singer Melody Thornton wore a very scandalous dress, that's so short her butt was hanging out... literally! i didn't know who she was either until i saw her wearing this butt baring Alexander McQueen dress. So not appropriate for the red carpet.

Rest in peace Mickey Jay.
