Designed to Shine: Monika Chiang

If Tory Burch isn't your style and a bit too reserved then Monika Chiang may be more your speed. I fell in love with the edgy glam L.A. designer and boutique owner on Bravo show, Million Dollar Decorators when she commissioned designer Mary McDonald to design her NYC boutique. Monika recently presented her Fall collection at NYFW. Jennifer Hudson was rocking Monika Chiang at Superbowl performance and Eve who was recently spotted front row at Monika's NYFW show said that she's absolutely obsessed, stalking Monika's boutique. Gotta admit I've done the same with her website and sale on Hautelook. So glad I'm not not alone.

School House Rock

DSquared was one of my favorites from this past Fall collections jn terms of a style perspective. Everything eased too cool for school. The Daten brothers always take casualness to another level.

Hair Stories: Hot Red Coco

 

Since I can remember I've been attracted to red hair. While I've always had a thing for a knucklehead with a fade and a fresh edge up, you can best believe that the freckled red headed boys on the playgrounds got the business back in the day. To this day I still can't help but compliment a natural Ginger in passing. But the red effect doesn't apply to women, so nevermind my fascination. It has been made clear on red carpets this award show season, that The Side Part a la "Veronica Lake"is the hair of Spring 2013. Recently Kimberly Kimble laid Mrs. Beyonce Carter's hair for her dazzling press conference, giving her a mean side part with volumous curls. I was looking like Sheree Whitfield who rocked a similar style on last seasons #RHOA Reunion when I seen her. But Mrs. Rocha for davidelfin gets a YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! for the red, neck grazing, wavy side part bob with baby hairs, barely there brows, red lips and all.  (See More Hair Styles from Madrid Fashion Week S/S 2013)
