Hey Dolls!!!!
OMG, Iowa has officially become the north pole...i don't think we need to wait for december to see Santa!!!
It is that time of year to start thinking of what great winter accessories you're going to throw on because you have to look FABULOUS during all seasons!!!
Here is a sneak peak at some essential winter gear that should help you guide your style quotient this winter...
1. Erin Fetherston premiered some FABULOUS fall/winter couture early this year at fashion week!!! Inspired by Nico, the epitome of Bohemia, Fetherston used soft fabrics to combine chic with rock 'n roll!!!
2. Over the Knee boots: termed as this winter's must have essential, these classy boots are available in bold colors (purple being my fav!) for the risque, or just the classic black for those who like to keep it classy!
3. "Masculinized" wardrobes: its the year of woman power! Military prints and the traditional camel color palate is back! Features like bow blouses, ruffles and tailored waistcoats that feminize "masculine" styles are soooooo in style dolls!
4. If you have a fetish for scarves like me or hats like my friend Kari Bornong, there is something for everybody this winter. I just checked out 'Simply Vera' by Vera Wang, and let me tell you....her stuff is to die for! Given that classic gray and black are hot colors this winter, always remember to add some color to that palate with a HOT accessory....like the purple 'Simply Vera' scarf...or a fun Nobis Adora knit cap (super trendy this season too)...
5. SHOES: Tia Cibani at Ports 1961 has designed the "IT" shoes this season, with the two-tone angular heel which can be attached to several styles, including a crisscross platform sandal and tall boots in both leather and suede...yummy! The bootie trend is still very in and this year fashion icon Marc Jacobs, and fashionisita Olsen twins opted for lower heels! Whatever your preference, invest in some booties today!!!!
6. LBG: move over LBD...its the age of the little black glove! Oh so chic, and Oh so adorable! Jenni Kayne, igal Azrouël, and Dennis Basso all premiered their LBG obsession this year at fashion week! The most adorable one was Cushnie et Ochs, which was literally dripping with Swarovski crystals.
7. Lastly, geometric prints and accessories are totally in! Donna Karan showcased cubes, orbs, and jacks which added some edge to the slick black and gray palates!
Hope this helps you get a clue on what to wear this winter because no matter what the season, remember to always keep it stylish!!!
until next time dolls...

It Gets Better!!!
Hey Dolls!!!
hope you guys have been bundling up cause it is getting 'chilly' outside! I know I have been really bad about updating you FABULOUS dolls with the latest happenings, but being a college student is just so hard! However things are going to change!
I wanted to start off talking about the HUGE "It gets better" campaign that had the nation by storm. The campaign is set up to end homophobic bullying and bigotry. So many people have shown their support and it is amazing to say that times are officially changing! Homophobic bullying, slander, and bigotry are just ignorant minds that are resting in a devil's workshop! Thanks to the amazing support from family and friends, I have never been a victim of such dehumanization, but there are so many young lives lost to the societal evil of homophobia! It is a lot to ask every single individual to make national protests against homophobia, but there are small changes we can make in our lives which are baby steps towards the larger goal! One thing I noticed is that people use the word "gay" to symbolize something negative! NOT COOL...It is not okay for people to say "that's gay" or "you're gay" for things they find unpleasant. Recently I saw a friend use the term "faggot" and we had a heated discussion on it. I know the person did not mean for it in a derogatory fashion, but how dare you think it is okay for anyone to use that word in any context??? Is this not one step back??? I was OFFENDED and I'm sure millions out there were too...
Second on the agenda, I wanted to clarify some things. This blog is not an outlet for me to criticize and "gossip" about people. I love to talk about fashion, family, friends, relationships, heartache, and so much more. If there is ever a time you think I have offended your sentiments, please write back and let me know how I can change it.
Now that we have gotten all of that cleared up, lets discuss one of my favorite things...MARGARITAS....I am in love with Hacienda and their strawberry/mango margs-They are FABULOUS and to die for. I really recommend everyone try one! Their food is super too! The other night we were at Hacienda- and one fishbowl and a couple of jumbos later, let me just tell you, thins were getting freaky! Move over cocaine, we are in for a tequila overdose....LOL
Talking about fabulous food, I wanted to ask all you dolls about what your favorite food was....Mine is definitely home cooked Indian food...especially now that I only eat it once every 4 months!!! :(
Well that's all for today! Write back and let me know what you wanna hear about or just what's on your mind lately! Even though I am swamped with tests, and homework and all that other fun stuff, I wanna know what you fabulous people are up to!!!!
Until next time....
Peace and Blessings, peace and blessings...

FASHIONISTASSSS!!!
Hey Dolls!!!
so i realized that this is my first post for the new month of October!!! I have just been so tied up with college, tests,catching up with friends, research, and all that boring stuff that it has given me no time to post something fresh for you guys...even my mother said, "You haven't blogged in a long time!!!" But, things are about to change.
First things first. I promised you guys the last time we spoke that I had a fashion surprise for all you FABULOUS dolls! Therefore I have picked 5 MUST HAVES in your closet, regardless of the weather of course!
1. The most essential accessory to a woman's wardrobe is the quintessential stiletto! It is great for any occasion and looks great with almost anything! My good friends at ShoeDazzle have a great collection of shoes designed especially for your style statement! Some of the hottest new styles are below:
2. Second, every person, whether male or female, must own a cute button down plaid shirt. Many times mistaken as a fall only accessory, the plaid shirt is great during all seasons.
You are allowed to wear plaid in any color. However flannel is just not acceptable! The great thing about plaid is that it is flattering! It works well for a plethora of body types!!!
3. At little rock accessory has never hurt anyone! I'm a big fan of the skeleton key necklace for women and those stunning wayfarer sunglasses that are ooh so chic, and invading all the runways of the fashion capitols!
4. The Mulberry Alexa Bag!!! This bag is just so delicious that one can't stop drooling over them. Watch out HERMES cause we have a new diva in town!
5. A great pair of jeans! Most people go wrong here because they choose something that is cost-effective but not style effective! Good jeans are an INVESTMENT dolls!!! There are jeans out there for all shapes and sizes and it is just about wearing the ones that flatter your assets and hide your flaws! If your a little chunky on the thighs then stay away from the straight cut skinnys! If you have nice toned legs then throw away those boyfriend jeans and wear something more fitted. I am a fan of boot-cut but not for someone who is below 5 ft tall! I am not going post a picture of the perfect jean because it varies from person to person! Dolls, head out to your nearest jean heaven and find yourself that perfect fit. ITS WORTH IT!!!
Hope you guys enjoyed this segment. Write back and tell me what you think of my top picks and if you agree/disagree, or just have some more suggestions!
Until next time...
