Kerry Washington!
Kerry Washington -- most famous for her role in Ray but to me, she was most memorable as the wise cracking friend to Julia Stiles' character in Save The Last Dance. She shot to the A-List after her role in Ray and has continued to dazzle each and every red carpet she has graced.
But, what inspires my post today is how BEAUTIFUL (truly beautiful!) she looks in this Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 gown in Cannes for the screening of the new Coco Chanel movie. Everything about her in this dress is PERFECTION.
Derek Lam opens store!
Location: New York
Derek Lam's clothes are amazing, they're clothes women would actually wear. He definitely knows what women want and look for in an outfit; they're classy, sexy, and hip. Just beautiful. I put on my Facebook 4 years ago that I want to work for him one day, and that's still one of my dreams.... hopefully one day I will : )
Cinderella for a Night
MET BALL 2009
The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art held its annual benefit. The theme for the fashion institution was "The Model As Muse".
Alot of people want to go the safe route when it comes to the red carpet and you start to see the same old same old, but what I love sooo much about the MET Ball is that this is where people can be as creative as they want.
My favorites of the night:
Cool Website
ModCloth is a indie & vintage clothing website started by a young woman named Susan and her husband.
The owner's story from the site:
Just a Girl in a Thrift Store
ModCloth started as an outlet for a teenage “thrifter.” Susan Gregg-Koger spent weekends and summers in high school thrift-store shopping with friends and found herself unable to pass up a great find in any size. Susan’s closet was soon full of vintage wares she could not wear.
With the help of her boyfriend (now husband) Eric Koger, Susan turned thrifting into a modest money-making hobby by launching a website in 2002. She had a sale the first day.
Six years later, Susan and Eric turned ModCloth into a career. Susan searches the world for small designers and unique pieces that fit her customers’ discriminating tastes. Eric runs the business, using his web expertise to rocket ModCloth to the top of Google searches for numerous hot keywords.
