Fashion Magazines Keep me Motivated!

I'm a full-time mommy, wife, freelance fashion stylist & makeup artist and sometimes its very easy for me to get side track or lose sight of my fashion sense. But with the help of monthly fashion magazine, I won't ever lose hope of my fashion sense or style.

Every month I run to my mailbox looking for my favorite monthly issues; Vogue "the fashion bible", Elle, Bazzar, People Style, Glamour, Lucky &InStyle.
Each of these magazines bring a different perspective and each season they all report the Season Hottest trends.

Vogue, Elle, Bazzar are my favorite high favorite magazines.
Vogue is urbane, sophisticated, feature the high-end and most avant-garde designers and take a lot of risks.
Bazaar is bold, edgy, and arty in their photography, fashions, and style.
Elle-incorporates cultural and design influences from all over the world, including Africa, India, and features the work of more cutting-edge and avant-garde designers.

I love People Style, Lucky & InStyle
Glamour magazines as well. They focus more on beauty with a glimpse of fashion.

Glamour takes beauty and fashion trends from the runway and translate them for working women. The fashions it features are more practical and less expensive than the fashions in high-end magazines. Glamour is also great for learning how to take care of your skin, hair, and body,and how to apply makeup.

Fall issues are very crucial, they show the hottest trends, styles and silhouette for the season. Also fall trends and styles set the tone for the entire year!

I love reading cover to cover!

2012 Bet Awards

I have waited all year for one of the hottest and stylish award shows. They are finally here and celebs were looking hotter than ever. My favorite part of the show will always be the red carpet looks. Celebrities are the canvas of pushing fashion trends forward. Some of their infamous looks become the hottest looks for the season. I didn't have a favorite this year, but I notices a lot of menswear's, flirty silhouette dresses and bold beautiful colors. Here are photos from this year BET Awards.

Spring and Summer are my favorite time of the year, when comes to fashion. This is the time to explore daring NEW trends and styles. I love trying edgy looks and taking risks, and that's what's some of my favorite designers did this season. They took some risk, and I'm loving it.

And now they are the leading fashion trend of the season:

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Shoes

I'm Addicted to shoes! I have purchased over 1000 pairs of shoes, in my lifetime. I keep over 200 in my collection. Every 3 months I get rid of the ones I don't wear and then buy NEW ones! I give away a least 50 or more every 3 months. Last, month I gave away 60 pairs to a charity!

My favorite style of shoes are stilettos, I just can get enough if them. They come in difference styles, colors, shapes, textures and looks! I love Jessica Simpson's shoes. They are VERY comfortable and VERY stylist. You just can't own one pair of her shoes. And every season she continue to chic up her stylists. When I go shopping I'm only looking for her shoes.

But other designers shoes do catch my attention too. Like, Rachel Roy, Steven Madden, INC, and Betsey Johnson. I have several pairs of other designers shoes too!

Here a glimpse of what I'm loving this spring!
