STYLE WATCH....CASSIE

I am officially putting that über fabulous chick Cassie on style watch for 2009!!! Now everybody knows that Rihanna is the reigning queen however, I believe that Cassie's style rivals RiRi's. Who cares about talent. Both of these chicks are incredibly fab! Of course everybody from Beyonce to Keyshia has swagger jacked Rihanna,(I still believe that Rihanna is a poser, but she does work it!) Cassie has remained who she is... Simply Fabulous.

SHOE GAME = INCREDIBLY FIERCE!

LOVE OBSESSIONS

Another Love Obsession. So everybody knows that I love an over sized bag....a huge tote or especially a huge clutch ( big enough to fit a small child in it :-)!!) Ok so this is a must have for my Spring & Summer wardrobe. I will be getting this! ASAP!

LOVE OBSESSIONS

Of course, I am a shore whore ( yeah its a problem) ...I know its still Winter but am I the only one excited for Spring to make its grand entrance??? I can't be. Any who, I decided to google Vince Camuto Spring 2009 and I found these (on Nitrolicious of course) Even though the silhouette is inspired by Nicholas Kirkwood, I am still in love:-)! Vince Camuto offers very affordable shoe($130.) but the comfort of his designs are priceless. Check out the rest of the collection at

HOW TO CARE FOR: CASHMERE

It is that time of year where cashmere items are in full affect! I love cashmere and it seems to me that Christmas & a fab cashmere sweater go hand in hand!!! I am fiercely protective of all my things especially my cashmere garments!!!! I found this great article on how to care for your cashmere garments...real simple, real easy! Enjoy.


The care label may read “dry clean only,” but hand washing cashmere will actually make it softer over time. Be sure to use baby shampoo or a mild detergent like Woolite or Essence. Press out the excess water, but do not wring the sweater. Instead, lay it flat on a towel and reshape it as it dries. Fold to store. To avoid a line running down the middle of the sweater, fold each side of the sweater inward by a third. Smooth the arms down, and fold in half. Never hang a cashmere sweater — it will cause shoulder dimples, and the pull of gravity will distort the overall shape.


P.S. I love you!
