TOAST 2 THAT / ALL THE BUZZ ON THE HOUSE

Stunning Photos of Joan Small on Cover of Vogue Australia May 2012 /

The Black and Puerto Rican model has appeared in campaigns for Ralph Lauren, The Gap, Coach and Ports 1961 and walked the runways for Oscar de la Renta, Givenchy and Diane von Furstenberg. Her career has flourished beautifully since her entrance in 2007( and to no surprise). She is amazingly beautiful! Her high cheekbones and piercing eyes seal her beauty as Effortless. Check out the photos from her spread below:

Trey Songz shines in the latest Issue of GQ Magazine /

Trey Songz was photographed by famed photographer Ben Watts for the latest issue of GQ magazine. Trey shined in European cuts from Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Armani. Check out these exclusive takes from Watts and Songz GQ shoot. I really hope these are outtakes, and we can expect better shots. It seems like the camera angles really distract from the ensembles. Thoughts?

Vogue's First Black Cover Girl Does Reality for OWN /

I was still slightly confused about the concept of this show. So, I visited the OWN website and managed to find this description of it:

Despite sometimes overstepping her boundaries and at times having her intentions misunderstood, she loves her family and is determined to right past wrongs. Along the way, viewers will witness the drama, good times and bad times as Beverly’s traditional/non-traditional family comes together, bound by love, and learns to make it all work.

This kind of puts the show into perspective, and kind of gets me excited about it. Hey fashionistas, will you be watching?

Karl Largerfeld Thinks Pres Obama Should Be Re-Elected Because of First Lady, Not Policy /

Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion altier himself, recently took time out of his hectic schedule to do an interview with the Metro Newspaper about the life of Lagerfeld. Okay, let's cut to the juice! During the interview, he took time to introduce the world to his love for first lady Michelle Obama (while speaking about President Obama's re-election). Largerfeld (unfortunately) had some pretty unflattering things to say about soul singer Adele & Russian men. You guys couldn't have expected a Karl Largerfeld interview with no shade! #HA

I have an insurmountable level of respect for people who have strong opinions, however, as an icon there's just certain things one should refrain from saying. That comment about Adele was out-right mean! (baffled)

Jean Paul Gaultier Tributes Amy Winehouse At Paris Fashion Week, Winehouse's Father Is Mad As Hell /

“The family were upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock. We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six month anniversary of Amy’s death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on … We’re proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life. That’s upsetting for her family.”

Victoria's Secret Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio Struts at 5 Mos. Prego /

Nothing can stop Alessandra Ambrosio from hitting the runway, not even her five-month old baby bump. The very popular Victoria's Secret angel ( from Brazil)  stole the show this past Sunday while on the runway for Colcci's Fall 2012 collection at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.


Colcci, a Brazillian fashion company, had an amazing collection! I watched the video about 10 times in order to get a full look at the entire collection. Here, Ambrosio sported a variety of looks but my personal fav was the opening number: the knit sweater, leather trim shorts & pumps! Simply Effortless! The red lip was the perfect compliment to her sun-kissed glow. She stole the show with that opening strut! Check out the video from the runway show below:
