AWARDS AMBIANCE

Although we have seen some of the most off the wall fashions from previous carpet ready celebrities, this years AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS bought a more sexy, some traditional yet classy style to mark this 2013 year. We've witnessed everything from LADY GAGA's infamous MTV (VMA'S) 2010 meat dress, BJORK's swan ensemble worn at the 73rd ACADEMY AWARDS in 2007, to my friend and rap artist BRAT's (sponge bob square pants) jumper in 2002 BET Awards.

During this year's 2013 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, I fell in love with R&B's southern princess CIARA's, J. MENDEL's sexy perforated inspired gown. It's definitely makes a fashion statement covering all the right places. Next up is Glee's actress NAYA RIVERA's, sleek black fitted mermaid inspired gown. Naya kept is classy, matching it with a touch of bold gold arm candy. One can never go wrong with a black and gold combination choice.

OSCAR AWARD winning, AMERICAN IDOL born R&B star JENNIFER HUDSON's, CHRISTIAN DIOR dress choice in my opinion... fell a little one sided. I actually love the sunflower vibrant color lined with a raspberry sorbet pink shade. The design of her dress just made me feel like the designer wasn't sure if the dress was meant to be short or long. I felt the dress was cut too straight where the split begins, making the design a little uncertain. Needless to say this wasn't one of my favorite's.

Pop Artist MILEY CYRUS came with her grown-up game in this VERSUS VERSACE two piece white pant suit ensemble accented with large gold safety pins for a little flair. Finishing off her crisp look with a pair of patent black stilettos. Let's now switch fashion channels to country's sweetheart, TAYLOR SWIFT. Taylor arrived in a metallic gold mini bandeau style dress, designed dress by JULIEN MACDONALD. She sealed her look with matching metallic gold strapped sandals by no other than JIMMY CHOO himself. If their happen to be a battle of our future fashionistas...... Who would you choose as the front runner?

E's (FASHION POLICE) co-host KELLY OSBORNE's ensemble was a mere image of a gown pulled right out of Glenda (The Good Witch's) closet. Designed by RAMI AL ALI, this metallic silver and gray mesh skirt embellished with silver appliques, rubbed me like a cup of coffee with no cream! Although every girl should have a least one good pair of nude color pumps, that doesn't mean you should rock them when you outfit doesn't warrant them so. This just happens to be a look that (Bitch I wouldn't think twice to steal!)

Singer and Songwriter KATY PERRY, brought Hollywood vintage glamour to the current red carpet affair. Clothed in this black and white accent OSCAR DE LA RENTE strapless gown, accenting her slim waistline. Pure vintage royalty on this years red carpet. LADY GAGA in lilac VERSACE and CHRISTINA AGUILERA draped in white MARIA LUCIA HOHAN.

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

Pebbles, Tionne, and Lisa soon became my family away from home.

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
