Dangerously Beautiful's Bossy Collection

Dangerously Beautiful is back with a new bossy collection.  With tees and tanks that will make the sweetest girl get a little aggressive, this line is cute, feminine and easy to wear.  My favs are the Lady Boss Oversized Tank and the Golden Girls tee.

"MICHAEL" Listening Party in NYC

Last night die-hard Michael Jackson fans braved the bitter cold for hours just to get a listen of his first posthomous release.  Held inside the Roseland Ballroom, people came together in the midst of what seemed to be a heaven for MJ fans.  DJ Cassidy kept the music going while dressed in a Billie Jean inspired outfit, Jackson's biggest hits "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Beat It," came with full on choreography sequences by in house dancers, and in every part of the room there was a poster, video, wall, cup and napkin that read, "MICHAEL."

Besides the music from the new album (which honestly you could understand why the King Of Pop never released on his watch) the real beauty of the night was how so many different people came together for one man.  While standing in the midst of it all, a thought came to mind and I wondered how MJ would've felt looking down on it all.  I honestly doubt that he would've cared about the event circling around him, but I do think that he would've been more happy just knowing that he was touching everyone and in a small corner of the world, people were united while enjoying the madness and the music.

Cover Girl: Heidi Klum on SELF

In the magazine world, December will be over in a few days, but you still have some time to grab this month's issue of SELF featuring supermodel (and super mogul) Heidi Klum.  When I began my internship at SELF, this was the issue that the magazine was prepping for.  Therefore, it holds a special place in my heart.  And if you get to flip through a copy, a lot of the jewelry and some of the accessories featured have been touched by moi!  

Movie Review: "The Fighter"

In October I had a great opportunity to view a screening of "The Fighter" starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. I could easily go into a deep analysis about the movie that is set in the 1980s and based on the true story of two brothers who live, eat and breathe boxing. But I will just get straight to the point---this movie is AMAZING. Bale's acting in this movie is superb, and may I say, more so than Wahlberg's. There are moments in this film when you will laugh and possibly get a bit emotional. But overall you will be rooting for the brothers to band together. ♥♥♥♥♥

Thrift Store Find: Cozy Cardigan & Kelly Clarkson CD

I have been a huge fan of thrift stores lately--especially the Unique chain of stores.  I've also been on a huge Denise Huxtable kick of great old school chunky sweaters.  So I was delighted to find this sweater ( about $2.50) that I know Denise would've loved.  What's fun about this sweater is the interior colors of red and turquoise along with the awesome 3/4 sleeve that just wants to be pushed up on the arms to create a great poof effect.

I also snagged Kelly Clarkson's first CD, "Breakaway," which contains all of her memorable hits for a little less than $2.
