A Dream Come True

 

I believe that every little girl dreams of becoming a princess. Well in the case of KIM KARDASHIAN, Dreams really do come into fruition. Every girl that loves fashion, as I do, has the VOGUE Magazine as their book of encyclopedia. In the latest April 2014 edition of VOGUE, KIM K and her famous Grammy Award winning fiance and proud father of her daughter NORTH, KANYE WEST, we're blessed to grace the cover. I'm sure that in her wildest dreams, she never saw this one coming.

To be able to share this dream with the love of your life, makes this opportunity that much more special. We have all been able to be apart of KIM K's world via "KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS" on E. Through all her ups and downs, lavish lifestyle, to the pregnancy and birth of her first child. For all the music lovers in the world, even if you don't prefer his style of music, or brash attitude, you have definitely heard of the Louis Vuitton Don, aka, KANYE WEST.

KANYE WEST is currently making his mark in the Fashion Industry. From his LOUIS VUITTON custom sneaker, from his NIKE deal (Air Yeezy's), to his reported 10 million deal with ADIDAS in which he get to retain creative control. Theirs no doubt these two fashion powerhouses connecting together would have the world talking and taking notes. I congratulate the beautiful fashionable couple on checking off yet another goal on their bucket list, THE COVER OF VOGUE.

ATHLETES AND FASHION FOR A CAUSE

Champagne Reception at Versace for Matt Barnes’ Athletes Vs. Cancer

By Michelle Stokes

On January 31^st, 2014 Los Angeles Clippers player, Matt Barnes and wife Gloria Govan teamed up with the high-end fashion company, Versace, for a champagne reception to bring awareness to his Athletes vs. Cancer Foundation. Matt Barnes founded his program in honor of his beloved mother Ann Barnes, who was diagnosed with lung cancer on November 1^st, 2007. Unfortunately, she passed away just 26 days after she was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 50. Structured to educate and bring awareness to the disease in low income neighborhoods, Athletes vs. Cancer provides free mobile screening to families and patients suffering from cancer.

The evening also included live music by a five-piece orchestra, sexy cocktails, tasty hors d’ oeuvre, a private in store fashion show, and an exclusive private shopping experience of the Versace signature collection, from which 10% of the sales were donated to the foundation.

Style and Grace

BRIAN ATWOOD

A sexy shoe in my opinion is everything!!!!!! Having a great taste in shoes can really boost a lady's ego. I feel that a woman's shoe, tells a story of what emotional mood she's in at that space in time. The higher the heel, the abstract in colors and patterns, down to the very outfit one chooses to wear. Certain heels set the mood, and tells ones personal story.

Colors such as one of my favorites color combinations black and gold, speaks strength, independence, of a lady who's in control and knows exactly who she is and what she wants. As in this BRIAN ATWOOD"Rocyce"Armandillo Pump.

GIANVITO ROSSII'm so in love with this GIANVITO ROSSI designed shoe. This Lace-Up, Honeycomb Open-Toe Bootie eludes the definition of sexiness. When wearing this shoe weather it's with a pencil skirt, fitted dress, or just to dress up any great pair of skinny jeans truly whispers sexy, stylish, sweet nothings in your ears. Recently worn by reality personality KIM KARDASHIAN during her fiance's, Hip Hop's KANYE WEST recent "YEEZUS" concert tour in Miami on Friday, November 29th. 

JIMMY CHOO

Any women walking into a room with these JIMMY CHOO masterpiece, simply OWNS IT. If a shoe could talk.... This Tia Pointy-Toe Jewel Pump would scream of self confidence, loves to shine, and from a glance, let's you know that it has very expensive and exquisite taste. I am fabulous, glamourous, loves the spotlight, and turns heads with every step I take, never shy and always breathe taking.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

This CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN shoe shows the classic definition of the sexy corporate shoe game. I'm a decision maker, a boss, one that makes up the rules to be followed. I'm intelligent yet classy, smart and sassy, commands respect, and reveals that this lady has a style that's not considered flashy but a more subtle approach to fashion. If only shoes could talk, what would your shoes say? #SigningOff #SexySweetBlogHearts #Never HaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #MichelleStokes #dominiquedeveraux.blogspot.com #instagram@michellestokes #BrianAtwood #GianvitoRossi #JimmyChoo #ChristianLouboutin #Barneys #NeimanMarcus #KimKardashian #KanyeWest

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.
