Best Actress



"How To Get Away With Murder" is one of the BEST TV shows out to date. I commend the creator (Peter Nowalk), producer (Shonda Rhimes) and writers of this new hit phenomenon, that portrays diversity, mystery, and great drama for even GREATER television. Its star, Viola Davis (Traffic, The Help) stars as a law professor  (Annalise Keating) who teaches at a prestigious college set in Philadelphia, PA whom get's entangled in a murder plot with her fellow students. 

 The 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) which aired on January 25th, 2015 at the Shrine Auditorium here in Los Angeles, set the stage for one of the night's Most Honored Award, "Best Actress".  And The Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series goes to.... VIOLA DAVIS. 

Accomplished and Acclaimed Actress, Viola Davis took to the stage to receive her award dressed in a custom white halter, form fitting, floor length gown designed by Max Mara. I loved the actress natural glow along with her beautiful natural hair. Last but not least, Viola Davis's acceptance speech was one for the records books. The actress applauded the one's who cast her in this great role, thanking them "for thinking that a sexualized, messy, mysterious woman could be a 49-year -old, dark-skinned African American woman who looks like me." Viola Davis

Not only did the actress look great while winning her award, her message regarding diversity within her body of work will go down in history.

Golden Globe Awards Fashion Edition Pt.2


I'm not sure what designer Antonio Berardi was thinking when he designed the bottom of Tina Fey's off white and black crystal accented gown. The very visible hemline, along with the inflated ballon like bottom half, looks as though she is ready for take off. On the other hand, Bff Amy Poehler, memorized in her cobalt blue colored Stella McCartney. #GoldenGlobes2015 #TinaFey #AmyPoehler




ABC's "Scandal" star, Kerry Washington's two toned Mary Katrantzou gown, turned out to be one of my least favorite at this years Golden Globes. Although the fit of Kerry's dress was on point, fabric choice in my opinion, just wasn't red carpet ready. #GoldenGlobes2015 #KerryWashington




Last but certainly not least, "How To Get Away With Murder" star, Viola Davis, looked absolutely stunning in this Donna Karen Atelier gown. What more could you ask for than a fierce, red hot star of a hot new series, walking down the red carpet! #Winning #GoldenGlobes2015 #ViolaDavis

Golden Globes 72 Annual Fashion Edition Pt.1

The Stars we're shining bright at the 72 Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday January 11, 2015 in Beverly Hills, California. Once again, some celebrities shined as bright as the stars that lights the night while others disappointed like a brunt out flame. Golden Globes red carpet starring Jennifer (JLO) Lopez, never disappoints with her form fitting gowns. Jennifer is always hot no doubt, I just felt like she didn't step outside of her comfort zone of style and challenged the fashion industry with something bold yet daring. #GoldenGlobes2015 #JenniferLopez




Kate Hudson looked absolutely stunning in this white Donatella Versace designed knockout. It's sexy plunging neck line, waist cut out accented, form fitting mermaid shaped gown, proved to be one of my favorite top pics of this years red carpet. #GoldenGlobeAwards2015 #KateHudson




Last years raising sensation Lupita Nyong'o arrived in a flowing purple and off white floral designed gown by Giambattista Valli. Lupita's dress wins with it's beautiful shade of purple. Although I love the bottom half of the award winning actress dress, I'm not so fond of the upper portion. I just feel like seeds we're planted months in advanced so that the upper flowers of her dress would bloom just in time for the awards. #GoldenGlobe2015 #LupitaNyong'o

Spoken Words

                                                         SPOKEN WORDS

Take one of the music industries most eclectic, creative, and influential artistic entertainers and mix that very same individual with a unique, fashion rebel who makes his own rules when it comes to style and you get Andre 3000, 1. 5 of the Grammy Award winning duo OutKast. Andre's stomping grounds of Atlanta, GA could contest to his deep grass roots of music, art , and fashion.

During the birth of the now exhibited fashion statement, I couldn't quite figure out why Andre was ordering the same jumpsuit, 47 times, in the same color, black. Once the decision was made to which certain quotes (which were strategically thought of by Andre himself), and after seeing his words applied to the clothing by my mother, one word.... #GENUIS

Andre wore the 47 jumpsuits during the OutKast Reunion Tour which kicked off on opening night of this years Cochella Festival. All 47 pieces are now being displayed at Art Basel Gallery in Miami which is featured in Complex Magazine. Recognition from R&B sensation Miguel photographed at the art gallery which was posted on the artist instagram, proved to be liked by his many fans.
