Valentines Day 2014- Hearts of Valentine's Fashion

Valentine's Day always seems to come around quickly just like Christmas. 
And like Christmas, sometimes I dread this day. I know the single ladies can empathize with this. 
If you are at work on Valentine's Day, there is a parade of flowers marching through the main door. Although I don't get why people send gifts to the workplace, when you have to do a balancing act and navigate the balloons and flowers through the parking lot and into your car. Or even more of a chore to travel via public transportation with a garden of fancy.
On the other hand, I like the softness and the aroma of "amour" in the air on Valentine's Day.
You cant but help to feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I can't help thinking about Rupaul's infamous quote during this post, " If you don't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?" I have something to add to that "How do you expect someone to love you, if you don't have self-love?"
Whether you are married, single,divorced, or complicated...
Have a loving day on Valentine's Day and I hope someone is sharing their words of love for you everyday.

Wear a heart ...

Grammy® Glamour Fashion 2014

The stars on the Grammy® scene have stepped up their red carpet wares this award winning caliber this year.  The Grammy's scene is the site to be the show stopper of self expressionism and fashion hype. Just reflect on what a stir Pharrell's hat conjured up. Most played it safe not sorry this Grammy® season.
I must sayt the popular color trends worn reminded of Christmas... in hues of white, red, green, and gold.

A lot of shine from metallic dresses such as those worn by Rita Ora, Annie Lennox and  Taylor Swift. Sights of skin-exposed slits on the gowns worn by Paris Hilton and Beyonce. Overall I was pleased with the glamorization  at this award show. The one thing that baffled me is that Madonna is starting to look more like the "Puppet Master" than the "Pop Princess" she once was.

My picks for those wearing  glistening, glamorous garments goes to the following:

 

Ciara

Pink

Rita Ora

 

Katy Perry

 

Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose

5 by 5 Golden Globes® Fashion Favorites 2014

The dash for fash has kicked off this award season with the broadcast of the Golden Globes. Honestly, the show was somewhat of a yawn.  Sorry Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but I don't watch award shows for the hosts. Their scripted banter just gave me all the more reason to surf to Downton Abbey. One thing I like about watching the Golden Globes besides the fashion is the seating arrangements. You just never can guess who is going to win because they are not sitting close to the stage. The stars are mid-bite or sip and once their name is announced, they have to navigate their path to the stage whilst tipsy. By the time they land on stage and deliver their impromptu acceptance speech, it is like deciphering some unknown code.

As for the fashion front, there were inspirations abound at this event like art deco inspired looks worn by Kate Beckinsale, black and white color combo worn effortlessly by Jenna Dewan, the "tie-less" tuxedos donned in dapper fashion on Idris Elba and Bono, and "reved up" red gowns fired up the carpet on Amy Adams and Edie Falco. The coolest coif mention goes to Rob Lowe. Does he ever have a bad hair day?

My standing ovations for my favorite five women and men who stopped the show in their looks at the 

Golden Globes are the following:

Maria Menounos

Jennifer Lawrence

Lupita N'yongo

Cate Blanchett

Emma Watson

Sean Combs

Andy Samberg

Leonardo DiCaprio

Bradley Cooper

Idris Elba

 I'm not posting the horrid pics of the worst dressed, (ahem) Paula Patton. Gurl you didn't have to be so ruffled!

 

Merry Christmas!

                             Merry Christmas to all!
