Do It Dirty - Raquel Reed & Blam

I'll Show You - Raquel Reed feat. Redman

"Raquey Horror"

      

    

 This girl is my inspiration, this Peruvian, African American , part Welsh and Puerto Rican, triple threat can, sing, dance, model, and is a Mac makeup artist. Ms.Raquel Reed is a self made icon. Her unique style and talent is over the top and authentic. You may notice her from running with Jeffery Star and his clan but she has moved on from her Scene Queen image and had made a "real" name for herself. She started backup singing for Jeffery Star in 2005 but has now worked with many artist such as "Redman", to pursue her own singing career.Reed is working on her debut studio album "Reed between the lines." If you Google her name you will find videos galore on this alternative model/pop star. She is covered in tattoos of cupcakes to lipstick and not everyone in her life has been supportive but she has proved everyone wrong and is becoming very successful. To makeup artistry at Mac, modeling for Ed Hardy and more, to styling shoots, running her up and coming empire all from her New York pad.

"Check it out"

         I went to go get my hair done at a salon,  for the first time in two years. I have curly, crazy as my father said,"Don King hair", so I don't trust just anyone. I recently met Heather Langeveldt, a salon owner in Katy,Texas. I did an event with her at a country club down the street from her salon. I got my hair and makeup done including eyelashes and I got my hair colored by the girls at Salon Langeveldt. I instantly fell in love with their amazing service. The salon is in a clean quiet neighborhood in Katy on westheimer parkway, the salon was colorful, edgy and just a perfect lounge spot or women to get away and really feel at home. The stylist were all very professional and fun and the customer service was great. I can't thank them more for their attention. They have all salon services and more, from parties and mothers day out to dance classes for the family. Call to schedule an appointment with the Langeveldt Girls.

"Lea Michele"

My celebrity of the month is Lea Michele. I love this 24 year old "Glee" star. Her fashion sense is amazing. She's so classic yet so modern. She looks so beautiful in everything she wears.Who ever her stylist is , they are doing their job.

Lea Michele stole the Red Carpet at the Emmys, when I can find someone who looks better on the Red Carpet, I will be sure to let everyone know.

I love the nude heels with this one sleeved lace dress. Classic and young , but my favorite are the shoes.

2010 Grammy presenter.She looks fabulous in this mini. It's hard to do a mini right on the red carpet unless your Jlo.

2011 Grammy's , this look was not my favorite of the whole night but she was sure in my top five.I love when she wears classic black.She did the slit well, Kim Kardashian's stylist should learn from Lea Michele's cause though Kim is the most beautiful woman ever that gold draped, high slit dress was awful at the 2011 Grammy's.

Lea Michele Red Carpet Goddess in that long strapless champagne dress.That is the dress that made me fall in love with Michele's style. Also, how many people can wear a brown shear and white long sleeve mini, with thigh high lace ups and look as good as that?Point blank, she inspires me.

Three words "TO DIE FOR!"

New York Fashion Week

         It's the end of New York's Fashion Week, and all of the designers, celebrities, fashionistas and journalist make their way home. Twice a year designers show their collections at the new location of  Fashion Week in New York's finest Lincoln Center. The Fashion Week Fall shows are held the preceding winter in February. Spring shows are held late summer in September. This fabulous event is by invitation only, each designer is in charge of their guest list. It's not impossible to get in, but it's all about who you know.
        Michael Kors celebrated his 30th anniversary this 2011 Fall Fashion Week. With an audience that seated celebs such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Emma Roberts, Bette Midler, Michael Douglas and more. Mk's collection took Fashion Week by a storm and rocked it. His show was so Kors, with tunics and trousers, the collection was polished yet sporty. Kors can use a million neutrals in his pieces and each one is still so unique and chic. 70's disco draped jersey gowns graced the runway, luxuries and elegant.
       Think, nude one shoulder toga gown flowing across the runway, like a feather in the air after a pillow fight at a slumber party, Amazing! Kors brought back thick, chunky belts, long skirts and high slits, he did it so perfectly. My favorite piece of the collection was a suntan turtle neck with suntan charmeuse pajama pants, thrown over was a huge cross body fur bag. Need I say more? Though Michael Kors did not let us down with his fab collection, there's someone else who didn't go un-noticed. The one and only Oscar De La Renta.
        De La Renta went Russian chic. He put out statement pieces that you can wear forever and never go out of style. His collection was filled with glamorous embellishments, eastern textures, knits, lace, leather, fur, floral's and colors to die for. The technique used in De La Renta's work is unbelievable. I highly encourage everyone to sulk themselves into a little De La Renta.
       These Fashion Week vets, have inspired many women with their creativity and understanding of a woman. Want to experience the fashions of Kors and De la Renta, check out www.michaelkors.com and www.oscardelarenta.com


     

Valentines Day Take Two

      Here's a little valentines advice for you guy's out there for next year. What not to get your girlfriend, unless you want to sleep on the couch. One, gift certificates; Its impersonable and shows her you didn't take your time and actually think about what she wants. Two, A gym membership; she will think your calling her fat and its over from there. Love what you got. Three, anything that belonged to or reminds you of an ex; If it reminds you of your ex your girlfriend will know. Four,plastic surgery; she wants you to want her the way she is,even if she's unhappy. Five, money; she's not a hooker need I say more? Six, regifting; it makes you cheap. No girl wants someone cheap.Seven,candy and a card be unique its too typical. Do not forget what her likes and dislikes are unless you want to piss her off.Just some other advice.
     When she walks away or leaves she wants you to do anything to get her to stay or at least run after her.When she says, "Do you want to talk about it?", she means you better talk about it because she does. When she says she's okay when you already know she's not, expect hell because she's not.When she says,"What are you thinking about?", she means "Do you still love me?",and you better say yes.Also guys we all know what, "I need some space", means so when your about to bounce try three new words or expect to see the wrath. Oh and do yourself a favor and never ask for a threesome especially with her friend.
      Hope everyone had a wonderful valentines day. Be creative and make your girl happy she deserves the world and more and do it often not just Valentines Day keep it unexpected and exciting. Xoxo Ashley
