Star Studded Celebs In D&G

Dolce & Gabbanna Fall 2011 collection has became a red carpet and magazine cover trend. I know you’ve seen D&G stars print in various styles from bustier dresses, leggings, fitted dresses, chiffon dresses and strapless dresses on some of our favorite celebrities…

While in Malibu shooting the cover for Harper’s Bazaar, Kim K was pictured rockin’ two D&G dresses for the spread. Not to mention while doing some cake tasting for her wedding, Kimmy wore a D&G star print black dress…

UK singer Jessie J also wore a black & white long-sleeve star print dress from D&G  for the August cover of GLAMOUR UK

And even Glam-Aholic favorite, Solange Knowles rocks this collection!

Confess Your Glam…would you rock the Dolce & Gabbana Star Print?

Nicki Minaj Loves Betsey Johnson

Nicki Minaj is so B O S S! I absolutely love how she mixes prints and doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks! Taking risk is what fashion is all about! Ms. Minaj who recently performed at the Reggae Summerfest in Jamaica, rockin the one and only Betsey Johnson!

Nicki is wearing a Tigerlilly swimsuit paired with leopard print pants from the Fall collection from Betsey Johnson. And those Mary Jane-esque platforms were made exclusively for the raptress by Ms. Betsey Johnson herself! How ill is that?!

‘Single Ladies’ Style 101 With Anthony L. Williams

The mastermind and genius that is Anthony L. Williams, is the driving force behind the stylish wardrobe of Val a.k.a Stacey Dash on VH1’s hit show ‘Single Ladies’. We first met Anthony on Project Runway Season 7, who could forget the brilliant and vibrant designer?! One of his pieces has even  graced the cover of Marie Claire magazine, on the body of Heidi Klum! Anthony hails from the South, originally from Alabama, a graduate of Alabama University and is now a freelance designer residing in Atlanta. Besides hemming and sewing, he’s a Style Ambassador for Macys, in which he travels to stores all over the U.S. to host and bring insight to women on how to keep their fashion going forth & fabulous!

Confession’s Of A Glam-Aholic was BLESSED enough to get a chance to talk to the fashion guru himself….

It was a true HONOR to speak with Anthony! I was nervous and shaking leading up to the interview, but once we got on the line with him, it was pure joy. He was so down-to-earth and comical, that he made us feel like we were just kicking it with an old friend! I have a feeling this will not be our last time speaking with Mr. Anthony L. Williams… I can just feel it :)

View his portfolio, bio and upcoming events over at his website www.anthonylwilliams.com AND also follow him on Twitter @SewAnthony! Check out more about him in this clip from VH1..

Same Girl…Different Hair

You all know how I was head over HEELS for Rihanna and her red hair! Well she stepped out today sporting a new color. It’s a mix between auburn brown and a rusty deep red. I can’t lie I do like it, but nothing compares to the Raggedy Ann Red! This is no disappointment…I can’t wait to see the various styles she rocks with this color!

Also I couldn’t help but notice her boots! Immediately when I saw them I thought….PUCCI! Now after close examination of a picture I found of the boots that came to mind, they are not identical…but similar. They may be from the same collection? Confess Your Glam and let me know if you know the designer of the boots Rihanna is rockin!

Emilio Pucci Lace-up Suede Thigh Boots $1,074

Glam-Aholic Of The Week: Lauren

This week we honor the hard working girl behind the scene, Lauren “Nikki” Cameron, as our Glam-Aholic Of The Week. PR queen that works hard for her A-List Clients (WE tvs the Braxtons, Bridezillas, TNT’s Hawthorne, Fonzworth Bentley, Dondria, Jermaine Dupri, etc) is always red carpet ready with her trendy fashion-forward looks. While working behind the scenes or on the scene in the ATL Lauren’s look is always serving!

Arjaunjubri: What does FASHION mean to you? “La mode est l’art et je l’aime! It’s not just clothing. It’s everything from hair, nails, make up, jewelry, attitude, confidence…”

Arjaunjubri: What are some of your favorite trends that are happening right now?  “I am in awe with the BRIGHT COLOR trend right now; its so fun! And NUDE! I will always and forever love NUDE… NUDE lip, NUDE pump, NUDE everything!”

Arjaunjubri: What are your 3 favorite hot spots to hit and find haute pieces? “My great friend Veta Roots, is a fabulous celeb designer and stylist. I love that she can whip up anything for me. Bill Hallman in Little 5 Points in Atlanta has the best party dresses. Necessary Clothing in NYC has great cute inexpensive pieces! I can go here and find HAUTE pieces for the office as well as evening events.”

Arjaunjubri: What trends do you love that mostly describe and inspire your style? “CLASSIC, FEMININE, CHIC  is me all the way. I may spruce up my look with a bold lip from time to time but for the most part I like a classic feminine look. And I love to show my curves… Owww!” 

Arjaunjubri: What are 3 things in your closet that you can NOT live without?  “G Star jeans — they fit like a glove. Michael Kors flip flops. My MAKE-UP bag –> like seriously,  this is my baby!”

Arjaunjubri: And who are your top 3 most fashionable celebs? “Eva Pigford is always FUN! Kourtney Kardashian is always FAB! Victoria Beckham is always Classic!”

Arjaunjubri: Who do you look up to in the fashion industry? “June Ambrose… I wish she was my mom. She just gets it! Simply put. Rachel Roy- I worked for her and her beauty truly shines from within. She’s the nicest person you will ever meet and her style is SICK! Mr.ALT himself… Who doesn’t love Andre Lean Tally? And he def put turbans on the map way before Mrs. June did!”

Arjaunjubri: What tips can you give our Confessions Of A Glam-Aholic readers on how to achieve stylish looks? “Be confident in your approach. Where what you want but OWN IT! I see many chics attempting to wear whats in, but they don’t own it! Dont be afraid to spend MORE money on staples pieces… Cheap isn’t always best! Remember a nude lip, bronze blush and black liner (only on top lid) will make you look fabulous any day of the week no matter what you’re wearing.”

Perfect For Color Blocking

I received a few questions about the outfit I rocked at the Glam-Aholic Shopping Experience, and you guys know I can’t hold water when it comes to my looks. I purchased my top & pants from Forever 21. It always trips me out when people say they can never find any great pieces in there! I almost ran to the rack when I saw these slacks. The first thing that came to mind was this was a perfect piece to color block with. I decided to go with color blocking because I’m currently obsessed with this trend, I can’t escape it! I will put my last dollar on the fact that you will see me in these pants again..

Never judge a book by it’s cover! These pants don’t look flattering at all on this model!

I also got to rock my new BCBG “BOSS” bracelet!!

Glam-Aholic Trend Alert: Jumpsuits

The jumpsuit is the Summer’s most versatile trend, can either be worn dressed up with platform pumps, bold jewelry, or for a more relaxed looked with stacked bangles and flat sandals. The fit is very comfortable and flattering for all body types. Many fashion-forward celebrities have been spotted out rockin’ their jumpsuits in a variation of styles. Beyonce took a laid back approach to the trend, while Kim K dazzled us with her sexy belted jumper and June Ambrose’s leopard jumper was “haute pepper approved”, paired with her signature turban…

Even we have been spotted out in our jumpsuits!

Mia Ray kill’ em in her nude jumpsuit and feather Bebe earrings and nude platform pumps! (Ps: she was up on the trend in 2010..O_o)

I wore my Torrid brown/ cream jumpsuit, Messeca Wedges and Ashley Stewart one dream catcher earrings to the Glam-Aholic Shopping Experience!

Jumpsuits fits into any style type, so I recommend that every Glam-Aholic give this trend a try!

Confess your glam, how would you rock your jumpsuit?
