Get it Shorty!

Don't let mini skirts have all the fun. Another way to let your legs breath is to don a bare of thigh skimming shorts. Wear them for a shopping trip, to travel or even on the red carpet (ok, maybe a party since most of us aren't famous). The best thing is, if you get the right pair of shorts they can take you seamlessy from day to night. Look to the ladies above for proof postive that shorts are the way forward!

Coats for Fall: The Pea Coat

Brandy arrives at the La Dolce Vita Benefit for the Sarah Ferguson Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street on November 1, 2007 in New York City.

Wikipedia describes the Pea Coat as having “broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, often large wooden buttons, navy-colored heavy wool and vertical or slash pockets,” but my how the Pea Coat has changed. Now you can find this classic teamed with bell-shaped sleeves, infused with military characterisics and made with tweed, plaid or basic black. Some have even forgone the traditional collar for the hot high collar. Find the perfect one for you then hang on to it for years to come. The Pea Coat never goes out of style.

Cape Town…

Brandy leaving the "Project Runway" Season 3 Finale show, during Olympus Fashion Week Spring 2007, in September at The Tent, Bryant Park in NYC.
Jessica Alba arriving at Crown Royal and Tab Energy Drink's Cool Down Post Award Season Party hosted by director Paul Haggis and Ludacris at the Beverly Towers Penthouse earlier this year in LA.
Rachel Roy at Damon Dash’s birthday party with a performance by Alice Smith and Citizen Cope in May of this year in NYC.

Volume is still in this season. Think oversized jackets and coats, puffball skirts and chunky knits. In the spirit of layering, capes provide the ultimate cover-up and offer an edgy alternative to the conventional jacket. If a straight cape is too ‘Superman meets Friar Tuck’ for you, then consider a jacket/cape instead (see Jessica Alba and Rachel Roy). See below for ideas on how to join these cape crusaders!

Did You Guess Right?!...

Brandy arriving at the LG and Jermaine Dupri’s music party for BET in June of this year in Los Angeles, California.

Love the outfit, shame about the make-up.... Brandy had better come correct with her next album!

Guess the Style Diva!

Guys I'm having so much trouble getting my pics to load, I need to find a new server. Anywho, here is a quick post that I managed to get up.... Have fun!

Kelis & Mya model for Heatherette

Kelis brings all the boys to the yard on the Heatherette runway!

Brandy backstage - lovin' her shirt!
Kelis and Mya leave after their runway appearances!

This looks like the one show everyone wanted to be at... Kelis and Mya looked amazing on the runway, they totally embody the Heatherette aesthetic! Brandy looks like she had fun, I wonder what she has lined up next for her career?!

Backstage at Sass & Bide

Tracee Ellis Ross and Brandy take their seats front row at the Sass & Bide runway show.

Tracee looks cute as usual, but Brandy? Is she slipping back to her old ways - I hope not! And check out Jojo getting her fashion week on... isn't she like 12?! See the complete Sass & Bide collection above.

Do It Brandy!

Brandy and the infamous ex-'husband' tatoo that is now a butterfly!
I definitely like her style!

I thought you may be interested in seeing Brandy's new photospread for OK Magazine. She really is getting it together style-wise! I hope her new gig as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' breaths some much needed life into her career... these photos are a good start!

Style on the Go...

Brandy made an appearance at the Bronner Brothers Annual Hair Show in Atlanta yesterday
Vivica Fox out and about in Toronto, Canada earlier this month - where's your toyboy?
TRL's Vanessa Minnillo spotted in Time's Square, NY - she always looks great! Ashanti at the Market America's 2006 International convention to promote her vitamin range (?) called 'OPC-3 Beauty Blend.'

They all look fabulous and it's great to see Vivica and Brandy fixing themselves up! Brandy has been making appearances in a lot of hair shows recently to help promote the hair line Ultima by Pro 10 and Ashanti has a beauty vitamin range out.... why I hear you ask?! I'll be damned if I know, but I can't knock their hustle! Speaking of Ashanti, she could have thrown on a light knitted shawl over that dress like my post suggests below, after all she's wearing the same dress! She needs to read this site! ;)

Note: You can buy Ashanti's dress at www.shopintuition.com for $220 (see previous post, The Jacket Redefined)

Brandy looking Fab-O!

I'm so happy to see Brandy back on the scene, and looking mighty fabulous I might add! She's a judge on the NBC show "America's Got Talent", so here she is attending the 2006 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour. I was worried for a minute, because those wigs she was sporting were hella scary! Glad to see her trying a more 'au natural' hairstyle. She needs to hurry up and get back into the studio... she never fails us there!!

2006 ESPY Awards

Sanaa Lathan and Brandy - Sanaa was doing the damn thing last night!
Married Couples Alonzo & Tracy Mourning and Kobe & Vanessa Bryant looked fab!!
Yolonda Adams and Kenya Moore
Rosario Dawson and Venus Williams - Venus looking pretty good accept for that hair :(
Janet and Mariah - Mariah, I am so glad you covered your-damn-self up and Janet, you'd better WORK IT! I see you making the rounds because your new album's about to drop!

The ESPY Awards took place last night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Everyone looked great bar Venus, but that is fast becoming a rule and not an acception! I wish she would stop sweeping her hair accross her forehead like that... NOT C.U.T.E! Be sure to catch the show when it airs on Sunday, July 16th @ 9pm ET on ESPN.
