Anna Wintour Movie!!!

If you don't know...Anna Wintour is the Queen Bee of fashion. As the Editor-In-Chief of American Vogue she calls the shots of what's hot and what's not, especially since Vogue is considered the bible of fashion. The movie The Devil Wears Prada gave a dramatized perspective of her, but we will now get a real behind the scenes look at her and what she does in "The September Issue".

FABULOUS IS BAAAAAAAACK!!!

Your FFF has been on break for a little bit, but is now officially back! I've missed you all and have been very busy working on new exciting projects. Stay tuned for details...

FLY FASHION...BUT WHO STOLE THE GOODS?

Every year Adidas designs exclusive fashions for the star players at Wimbledon. That's the good news - bad news is, someone stole this years shipment! Here is the official story from Wimbledon.org:

By Byron Vale
It has been reported today that a truckload of adidas kit made for the sportswear giant’s stable of players at Wimbledon was stolen. Apparently 390 boxes of shirts, shorts and other clothing were stolen. Perhaps that explains why Stefanie Voegele and Tatjana Malek are currently both on court and both wearing the same outfit — the third time already this tournament that players have clashed. No danger of that happening to Roger Federer.

WHAT'S THE SECRET?

The Victoria's Secret held its annual fashion show  was held in Miami Beach, FL this year and it was FABULOUS as usual. This year's theme was "Return to Glamour" and the ingredients for the costumes came from all over the world. The previous shows have been more consistently FABULOUS, where I loved just about every look, but this show was good nonetheless. The best addition to the show this year was USHER performing live. Here are my favorite looks from the show...

FASHION FIX #5

WHAT TIIIIIIIIIME IS IT!?

I have to confess -  I have an obsession with timepieces aka "watches". There is something special in how a great timepiece can uplift a look to the next level. Classic colors of black and brown are great but the funnest way to incorporate this amazing accessory is to use color! In this edition, I'm giving you a lot of options. Because these are budget conscious times (ha-ha - no pun intended) , I present to you a mix of high time and low time...

FASHION NEWS

On another fabulously fly note...Alexander McQueen is designing a line for Target aka Targe' with pieces prices under $150.00! This is a major move since McQueen's designs go for thousands of dollars a piece. McQueen designs womens, mens clothing and accessories. His looks are dramatic and bold. His accessories are off the chain! Target is one of my favorite retailers to get fabulously financially fly fashion. Target does "Design For All" which features designers for fashion, beauty and home for a limited time at Targe' prices. Adding McQueen to their line-up gives you an even greater reason to venture there. The McQueen collection is said to launch in March and will be available at select stores as well as target.com.
