MATTIE MEMO: Let Your Hair Up

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Keke Palmer hits the red carpet with a relaxed, flirty updo.

With the spring here, there’s a few things we should adjust. Our wardrobes, skin care and even how we wear our hair. For some of us, we’re brave enough to chop off all of our locks into a cute style for the spring/summer session. And then there are those of us who don’t want to face a haircut and still want to stay cool. Here’s where the fabulous updo comes into play. Sometimes you’ve got to let your hair up. (more…)

How To Wear A Red Dress

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Beyonce in a firecracker red body hugging number in NYC. (With red shoes, too!) Perfect for her new fragrance press tour.

I love, love, LOVE a red dress. I wore a red evening gown when I won Miss Liberia USA and so did two other contestants. LOL. Here’s the thing though, you have to aware of the shade, material and silhouette. A bright red like the one above may not be appropriate for church or a business meeting per se while a crimson evening may be just the right shade for a formal occasion. You have to take your body type, your complexion and the event all in consideration. But know this, wearing a red dress will always command attention. And so I salute my favorite red dresses on the red carpet within the last year. (more…)

Marchesa Spring 2010

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I. Live. For. This. Dress.

For those of you who read regularly, you know I heart Marchesa. A lot of the look of the day’s are wearing it and quite frankly it’s one of most feminine lines out there. Between the embroidery, draping and silhouettes – it’s just all around awesomery. The line is only 6 years old and co-founded by designers Georgina Chapman (Harvey Weinstein’s wife) and Keren Craig. I thought I would share their Spring 2010 collection with you because…well…I heart you, too. (more…)

Six Months Ago

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

My jewelry and dress on my big day.

So six months ago (time flies when you’re having fun!) I got married. My wedding day was a rainy one, but filled with happiness, family and fun. It was easily, undoubtedly the happiest day of my life. I wore ballet shoes, which were uber comfortable and my sister put them on my feet. I danced until my hair was frazzled and boogied the night away. I laughed, I cried, I danced and I conquered this thing they call a wedding. It’s wasn’t perfect…but it was all the imperfections that made it the best. (more…)
