Amy Winehouse



This song was produced by Mark Ronson who is the coolest guy & dj. Mark Ronson is also the brother of Charlotte Ronson of
CRonson whose line was licenced by Damon Dash at some point then they cancelled it after a few years. I guess thats when they launched Rachel Roys line. Charlotte now has 12 stores in Japan and is doing sooooo well. Can somebody say konichiwa! lawl.. lawl Japan loves fashion.. Konichiwa!! lawl

I am sooooooooooooooooo loving Amy Winehouse. I love her her voice and her lyrics are VERY VERY original. She sings about weed, smokes.. F me pumps. LMAO! and waking up alone.. shes just very refreshing not trying to be cute just doing the darn singing and I just love Amy Winehouse.
A few months ago a friend told me he had exclusive tickets for Amy Winehouse show. I was like Amy Who?.. Amy what? Well I did go and I saw this whte chick stumbling on stage and the minute she sang.. I was hooked. The voice, The beehive.. oh my.. Amy is the Queen bee of the beehives. Trust me, I dont think anybody has the courage to rock THAT humongous beehive. Gwen stefani tried a subtle version but Amy is on her own with this one.. LAWL! love her though. Still on the hair tip I hear that Rihannas assymetrical bob is the most requested hairstyle right now everywhere.

leaving u with some of her funny but real lyrics..LMAO! LAWL!!

F ME PUMPS
"When you walk in the bar,
And you dressed like a star,
Rockin' your F me pumps.

And the men notice you,
With your Gucci bag crew,
Can't tell who he's lookin' to.
You don't like ballers,
They don't do nothing for ya,
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller. *LOL*

With your big empty purse,
Every week it gets worse,
At least your breasts cost more than her

My friends

We are each of us angels, with only one wing. We can
only fly by embracing each other-
This is my quote of the week.
Independence is good but interdependence is letting go of that control and allowing others to help because we really cant do it all alone. With that said I am really grateful to my darling friends who are my cheerleaders and give me the support & encouragement which is so needed.
This weekend I did a huge fair in Brooklyn. It was just alright nothing specatacular but my very good friend Note came to help me out. He really is a true friend. When I was packing to leave my studio in the garment district he was there helping me again. Aissata also came for that moral support. I love my friends!

The last couple of weeks have been super crazy. My highlight however was the CFDAs. I went to the afterparty.. saw some very beautiful people. Miss USA is really beautiful.. oh my. I also went to the Kanye West party at the Luis Vuitton store. Now that was something. I saw many faces I see every week in the pages of Life& style. LMAO! Designed by Jun Aoki, the Luis Vuitton store is a sight to behold with its milky checkered glass facade. Just beautiful!!

Outing with Cirese

Cirese, the girl I met this past sunday is the creator of this fabulous soap for Bobbi Brown.

The reason why I was just blown away by Cirese is her drive. Shes so young, only 26 and she makes soaps for Estee Lauder and Bobbi Brown. The amazing story is that she met Bobbi Brown doing a fair in Montclair NJ where BB lives 6 yrs ago and Bobbi Brown loved her soaps and gave her this wonderful opportunity. I just love stories like that. I actually got a little emotional just hearing it. So beautiful and inspiring! awwww!
So.. Yesterday we went for the opening of the Bobbi Brown store in Montclair.

I took another picture of the soap. Cirese is just so humble and I love & admire that so much about her. At one point Bobbi Brown introduced her to the president and another bigwig from BB and they were just so excited to see her I think even more because of how the whole thing came about-how it started and all. Everybody loves that soap! Its in this months VOGUE too we found out.
It was such a beauiful evening, so inspiring.. just amazing.
I had a hit with my silk organza top that I made 2 hrs b4 the event. Who would've thought? The fabric had just been sitting there.. this yummy cotton candy yellow with this fluffy embroidery. Apparently yellow is the new black-LOL
