Let the frenzy begin! New York Fashion Week 2011 kicked off today (Feb. 10-17) with shows like BCBGMAXAZRIA, Christian Siriano, Luca Luca, Tadashi Shoji and much more!
While these designers are absolutely fabulous and we all love their designs, one cannot help but wonder, where are the designers of color?
Harlem's Fashion Row has an answer to this as it aims to create diversity in the fashion industry by helping emerging designers with the resources they need to be at the forefront of fashion.
That's So New York's lovely host, Kela Walker, sits down with the "soldier behind the movement"- founder, Brandice Henderson, to get the 411 on Harlem's Fashion Row. Check it out!
I usually work out in the morning and have a hard time trying to figure out what I should eat beforehand. I know that eating beforehand is a good energy booster but eat what- that's my issue! So, what I usually do is skip breakfast and go straight into working out. Honestly, I have enough energy to get in a good workout but I know that's not the proper or best way to do it.
Well, this morning I stumbled upon this great article by Cookinglight.com and they highlight the 10 Best Foods and Drinks for Exercising! Boy, am I excited! With foods like oatmeal, coffee (this I'm not too sure about...but we'll see), almonds and raisins, my workout is sure to be more effective.
So, it's finally here, New York Fashion Week! And, along with it comes Fashion's Night Out! On September 10, 2010, hundreds of NYC stores will throw the biggest fashion parties in history, which promises to be equally epic, splurge inspiring and full of even more stylish surprises than it did last year! I can't wait until the work day is over to begin indulging in fashion, food, drinks, and music with all my fellow Fashionistas!
For a complete list of participating retailers check out the official Fashion's Night Out website and plan your night out today, and check out my girl, Kela Walker (@kelawalker), from That's So New York, giving us all the deets on FNO 2010!
What stores will you be hitting up for FNO? Do tell! Hope to see you there! xoxo
J. Love rocked her Bensoni purple leopard dress to her book signing, while The City's Olivia Palermo rocked hers to the Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture show. Leopard print is all the rage right now! Everywhere I turn I see leopard print dresses, shoes and accessories outfitting store front windows! It's always nice to see a designer deviate from the classic brown/black leopard print and Bensoni's purple silk leopard is a deviation that's more than nice, it's absolutely amazin'!
Now, my vote is 100% for Olivia! Loved how she paired the purple silk leopard print dress with the traditional brown/black leopard belt! AMAZIN' accessorizing! Her shoes, on the other hand, I can live without.
Belly fat is so not cute (well, in some countries I think it is), not to mention that it can lead to all sorts of diseases and ailments. "If you store more fat in your belly than in your hips, your cells are likely to be resistant to insulin which puts you at high risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and premature death. -Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
Um...premature death? That's all I needed to hear! Thanks but no thanks! Women's Health magazine recently featured these 6 Fat-Fighting Foods that can help pare down that pesky pot belly of yours- and mine!
Snack on these and watch the fat melt right off! Wait...don't think that you can eat Popeye's every day for lunch and throw some of these in here and there, and your pot belly will magically disappear! You have to put in work! Exercise, healthy eats and portion control, along with these 6 Fat-Fighting Foods will get you the results you want!
Enova Oil Enova — made from soy and canola oils — is made of diglycerides, a type of fat that's metabolized differently from triglycerides (found in other oils — even olive) and so not stored as fat as easily. In a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, dieters who used Enova lost more weight than those who used other oils. 
Christina Milian, who split from her husband, singer/songwriter, The Dream, gave birth to her daughter, Violet Nash, on February 26, 2010. But, you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at her! She gave birth only 5 months ago and already her stomach is non-existent! Whoa! Christina, please tell me your secret!
With roles like "Neytiri" in Avatar, "Nyota Uhura" in Star Trek and "Aisha" in Losers, Zoe Saldana has recently become the "it" girl! The recently engaged starlet graced the cover of the August 2010 issue of GQ and rocked it!
Although Zoe's body isn't one that I aspire for- to me she's just slim- I do think she looks totally hot in these pics!
Good Sunday morning! It's been too long since I've done one of these posts. I haven't cooked since I returned from my vacay back in May. I know, I know...I totally fell off! But, I'm back and better than ever!
Browsing through the VS website, I came across this gorgeous little number that reminded me so much of Solonge's Boxing Kitten Resort 2010 Tam Tam dress! The dress is currently on sale for $49 (click on photo to purchase), but unfortunately, it's on backorder! Ugh! August isn't that far away, right? :-)
What do you think? Good Cop The Look? xoxo

Solonge rocked this absolutely adorable printed Tam Tam mini dress by Boxing Kitten @ Tao in Vegas Saturday night. She paired the colorful number with gold YSL Tribute sandals! Oh how I heart YSL Tributes!
This is the perfect summer dress! I love the vibrant colors and bustier top! For more of The Resort 2010 Boxing Kitten Collection click here.
Are you a fan? Let me know! xoxo
