Cover Girl: Beyonce for Vogue

One of Fashion Fiend's favorite fashionistas is covering the April issue of Vogue!!!! Gotta love Vogue for embracing women of color... it's only March and they've had two African American women as their "it" girls!!! Pure fabulousness at its best!!!! I am also loving them for the cover topics about fashion for all sizes and weight in general. If you know Vogue then you know their pages are normally filled with the smallest models around. To acknowledge weight issues and that fashion can be for the curvy girls too is beyond fabulous and definitely a step in the right direction in more ways then one. Thumbs up to Vogue!!! It happens to be one of my favorite magazines, so luckily I'll be getting my copy in the mail shortly!!!!


B looks insanely Fabulous on the cover......but what else is to be expected?!?!?

Trend Fiend: Jumpsuits

Some call them jumpsuits, some call the playsuits, while others call them rompers, but whatever you call them I'll bet you your favorite pair of shoes you will see them everywhere this Spring!!! I'm deeply in love with the idea of a fitted jumpsuit with a belt right at the waist, a fab pair of shoes...heels of course, and just the right amount of bangles with the perfect pair of earrings...close your eyes and envision it. Nothing new of course, but jumpsiuts are so fiercely sweet and edgy, nothing short of fabulous and every Fashion Fiend should have one. Here are a few options....


Baby Phat Strapless Belted Jumper $63


Rag & Bone Teddy Romper $450


Kova & T Mrs. Roper Jumpsuit $374



Twelve by Twelve Sweater Knit Jumpsuit $34


Forever21 Corset Cinched Jumpsuit $25

They also look fabulous when worn under a well tailored blazer!!! The jumpsuit is ageless so you will definitely get your monies worth!!!

We've already discussed the fabulous and not so fabulous collections for Fall 2009, but I've failed to mention the most Fabulous accessory, the nerve of me, THE SHOES!!! I've done my research and compiled some of the most fabulous and of course not so fabulous shoe collections for Fall 2009 from our favorite designers....When I tell you some of these collections are to live for....I mean some of them are to Live For!!! The pure artistic design on most are insane....while some of the collections are just a blast from the past, or a little bit to much for even me....

Louis Vuitton





Alexander Wang




Marc Jacobs


Christian Siriano

Gucci

Christian Dior

Givenchy

Stella McCartney


Alexander McQueen


Chanel


Favorites:
The Givenchy collection is insanely sick!!!! I live for studs and feathers...I gasped when I first laid eyes on those puppies....They definitely had me at hello!!
The Christian Dior collection impressed me as well!!! Both artistic and wearable, John Galliano did his thing with this collection compared to his own....Hello Lover!!!
Christian Siriano not only impressed me but surprised me.....who knew?!? His collection will probably be more in line with my budget, probably not...and I loved his edgy but chic approach...I'll be watching him...

Ms Fashion Fiend Update

Hey Fiends!!! I hope all is fabulous in your world!!! Just a quick update on things in my world. Sorry I didn't update for a few days...I was spending time in Atlanta with my amazing boyfriend for his birthday!!! I almost didn't want to come back to NYC, but my dreams reside here so I definitely had to return to chase them. Since the debut of Fashion Fiend I've been getting some really great feedback and even a few great opportunities(I'll tell you more as they unfold). It's been less than a month, and I've already received almost 1000 hits..... YaY!!!! I'm so excited to have the opportunity to share my passion and ideas with all of my fellow fashion fiends. Starting this blog has definitely enhanced my creativity and it has become an outlet for the million fabulous things running around in my head. I'm so in love with this amazing art form and there are no words, even for me, to really describe my feelings. I just know this is for me....... I'm claiming 2009 as my year and I taking you on this ride as I chase my dreams!!! Stay tuned and in the mean time Fabulous!!!

Smooches,

Trend Fiend: NEON

So it's no new news that bold colors are the must wear for this spring, post , but Neon colors have been popping up everywhere.....and.....I love it!!! Yes I said neon!!! Seems kind of bold, I know, but when worn right your fabulousness will be as bright as a caution light!!

Perfect for spring and definitely can be taken into the summer.....neon pink, green, and blues look great by themselves or even more glam when paired with black. If you're not brave enough to rock a neon dress or shoes than embrace the trend by rocking neon nail polish. I beg you not to go crazy and start mixing to many neon colors....that my fiends is what I call a mess!

Quontom Neon Cup Dress $79

Davis By Ruthie Davis Sushi Mary Janes $895

Who is Amber Rose....

So this chick Amber Rose has been popping up all over the net and blogs and apparently she's Kanye's new boo. Who she dates doesn't concern me, but what she wears I definitely care about!! Known as a video vixen by the masses, appearing in Ludacris and Young Jeezy videos, she just popped up out of no where like your favorite shoe that's been missing for days!! The girl definitely has a style of her own that I will admit has gone from 0 to 100 thousand trillion (that was to easy). She's been seen at all the best fashion shows in NYC and Paris, the ones fashionistas only dream to attend.....hence my dream last night. Talk about overnight celebrity.....in a matter of weeks we've seen this Italian and Cape Verdean blondie go from "who?'' to "I thought you knew".........






Her style game seems to be edgy and flashy....I'm not in love but I'm definitely not in hate.... I mean do you see those Chanel Glasses and Louis Vuitton Shoes!!!! OMG!!! Anyway... I'll be watching to see how this goes!!!
