Modern Day Housewives

   We've come a long way since the days of June Cleaver, Carol Brady, and Florida Evans. Today, these modern day housewives are heating up our living rooms with their drama, lifestyles, and most of all their impeccable taste in style. While we look forward each week just to live vicariously through these housewives turned reality stars drama, I know that I can't wait to see what Hermes bag, Christian Louboutin, to Herve Leger dress which cast member is going to rock next.

 I never would of imagined a housewife could ever inspire the young generation when it came to style. For me, no other Housewives cast does it the way my ''Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills'' does. From Lisa Vanderpumps flawless and pricey jewelry collection and a closet to die for, to my girl Kyle Richards Chanel handbags to Yolanda Foster's (has every Hermes belt that they ever made) collection.

I have a few other Housewives faves as well. Nene Leakes from the ''Real Housewives of Atlanta'', has truly stepped her closet game up since seasons one. From the blond bomb short hair style , to her graduated casual look with her sling one shoulder tops, slightly baggy but belted and rolled up jeans, paired with a sexy stiletto to seal the deal. Nothing speaks more volume than to be blessed with an opportunity from becoming an average housewife to one of Americas favorites and upgrading your world.

Brazilian born Miami housewives Adriana De Moura and Polish-American model/actress Joanna Krupa, has never made it a secret of their earlier hardships and struggles. But one thing is certain, sometimes in life one has to go through the growing pains to see the light at the end of the runway. These two housewives currently now stars in their very on fashion show called Life. Until next time

HAUTE HALLOWEEN 2013

Celebrities always seems to get into the spirit of Halloween. For some, it merely putting some face paint on or a simple mask. For others, it's the total transformation of another character or other Celebrities.








Take this years 2013 Halloween Costumes favorites. TV Personality and Talk Show Host Ellen DeGeneres, took a walk on the wild side to become Pop/Hip-Hop Artist Nicki Minaj. Ellen emulated Nicki's outfit that she wore on her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The long blond wig, the Black Leather pants, down to the twins exposed crop top worn by Nicki Minaj. In my opinion, My girl Ellen nail her costume down to the tee. How do you think she did?

Then there is the young actress turned recent controversial "TWERK" Queen Miley Cyrus . While everyone else is busy dressing as Miley Cyrus's 2013 VMA's performance with Pop/R&B Artist Robin Thicke, Miley clearly became Rap Phenom Lil Kim during her 1999 MTV Awards appearance. The infamous purple one shoulder jumpsuit with the one boob pasty to match was a perfect way to pay homage to her idol. I feel that both Ellen DeGeneres and Miley Cyrus clearly scored major points with their choices for their 2013 Halloween Haute Costumes.  Wishing everyone a safe a Happy Halloween. #PleaseDrinkResponsibly #SigningOff #CoffeeWithCream #NeverHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #dominiquedeveraux.blogspot.com #EllenDeGeneres #MileyCyrus #LilKim #NickiMinaj #Halloween #Haute #2013

I first met there former manager Perri (Pebbles) Reid at the age of 19 here in LA, while auditioning for her music video. It was there where I met 2/3 of the group, Tionne and Lisa. I had such a connection with Pebbles and the girls, That when it was time for Pebbles to take her show on the road, she didn't hesitate to call me up to go along for the ride.

One phone call, and then a 24 hour flight to Atlanta the very next day. Pebbles then married to music mogul LA Reid, Their guest house soon became the residence for me and new room mate Lisa Lopez. Pebbles, Tionne, and Lisa soon became my family away from home. Not only did I fall in love with the Georgia Peach State, intense rehearsing for a major tour, the addition of Rozonda (Chili) Thomas to being in the studio of TLC's first album being recorded, witnessing history in the making.

As TLC grew into the Best Selling R&B Female Group of all time.

CASA FASHION

Fashion doesn't always have to be apart of your wardrobe, for years designers have incorporated the beauty into your humble abode. Take this Beverly Hills, California home designed by Houston interior designer Blair Gordon. The 1950's home own by Charlie Chanaratsopon, CEO and founder of the fame fashion accessories boutique Charming Charlie speaks volumes. Limestone pillars, custom sofas, and even a Jonathan Adler floor lamp sets the tone for this elegant and timeless decor.

This crisp and clean fresh room is the perfect setting for intimate parties with eye candy vintage pieces and Black-and-White portraits of Marilyn Monroe and the Rat Pack. Fashion is in the eye of the beholder. You don't have to be rich to decorate your home in a comfortable fashion that fits your own personal budget. #SigningOff #Don'tHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #dominiquedeveraux.blogspot.com #BlairGordon #CharmingCharlie #CharlieChanaratsopon #CASAFASHION

First Class

Expressing my passion for fashion is undeniable. I love combining the form fitting designer Herve Leger's classic golden and black goddess ensemble with a variety of choices. Starting with the shoes.... Weather you are a peep toe, a black patent point toe, or the black suede ankle boots with the gold studs.... Christian Louboutin has every style for every kind of lady. Depending on the type of event you're attending determines the type of bag you should choose to carry. I suggest the black and gold bag or the patent Yves Saint Laurent during the day and the Judith Leiber after dark. This black and gold beauty is priced at a mere $2650.

Now for all the ladies that prefer silver over gold, designer Herve Leger serves you this beauty right off the rack. This $2950 priced beauty can be accompanied with this black leather YSL handbag with the link chain strap. One might prefer the mini silver studded clutch instead. Either or, you can't go wrong once topped with the black leather red bottoms or silver studded pump. You will definitely look fabulous either way. This is styling 101 through these brown eyes of mine. #LOVEFORFASHION #christianlouboutinshoes1 #louboutinworld #herveleger #YSL #SigningOff  #CoffeeWithCream #NeverHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream

Seeing Red

Seeing Red doesn't necessarily mean your mad but those who loves the color most often have bold and fierce personalities. Not only does the color red make a statement that you have arrived, but it can also give off that sexy vixen vibe. Today's look for him offers the solid button down long sleeve shirt, paired with a soft beige Robin Jeans for contrast. The high top sneakers with the solid red #SalvatoreFerragamo belt definitely seals the deal.

For her I thought the red #Balenciaga bag would be the perfect arm candy to go along with the stylish skirt suit. The knee high leather boots to complete your look will have many heads turning.

This is my fashion tip for the day.#SigningOff #CoffeeWithCream #NeverHaveYour CoffeeWithoutTheCream #SeeingRed Instagram@michellestokes Twitter@indiangirl711 #FollowMe to #FollowFashion

                                                                   

A Evening With Swarovski and Microsoft

Whenever you combine Swarovski with Microsoft, or Swarovski with any company... You get FABULOSITY !!!!!!!!!!! Last night in Venice, Ca the Swarovski Company collaborated with Microsoft to introduce the new book entitled P.S-you're invited... by Erica Domesek. It's a fun book featuring 40+DIY projects for all of your fashion, decor, and just plain entertaining events. The author and founder of the DIY brand has been featured in such magazines as Glamour, Instyle, and Teen Vogue to name a few. Erica Domesek has also made appearances on such shows as The Rachael Ray, The Martha Stewart, The Today Show, E! News, Fox, TLC, and ABC.

The Evening was filled with the who's who of Los Angeles, and featured stations such as creating your own sundaes, classy cocktails, and designing and making your very own Swarovski Crystal ring, with the beautiful Lisa Beckenholdt (Showroom Manager-Los Angeles) which I'm wearing in the photo up above. As a Fashion Designer and Celebrity Wardrobe Stylist myself, always working with my extended Swarovski family is always a pleasant pleasure. Until my thoughts meet my MacBook Pro again... #SigningOff #NeverHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #CoffeeWithCream
