CASSIE VENTURA'S CLOSET.COUTURE

NOWADAYS music and fashion go hand-in-hand. Or maybe it's always been that way? Well, now more so than ever, I guess ... Any who! Please! find me a 24-year-olds' closet that's more fabulous than this one. 

Cassie Ventura, a singer-socialite-model-trendsetter, let's us take a peak inside of the fabulousness that is her closet (a spare bedroom in her NYC penthouse, turned closet).

STYLISH BABY SISTER.

There's no one in the world more adorable than my youngest sister, Khyla!! A sophomore at Howard University, she's one of the best dressed students that school has ever seen. (I may be slightly biased, but I'm right!)

STYLED BY SELAM

2 more looks! I'm not much of a model but I'll do anything to help out my hard-working, and very deserving friends.

25 INFLUENTIAL BLACK MODELS

I must admit, being a black girl, it's so encouraging, inspiring, and all around AWESOME to see brown faces in the midst of high fashion.

In honor of Black History Month ... :)

STYLED BY SELAM

i had the honor of being styled by the extremely sagacious FIT student and dear friend of mine, Selamawit. She used the clothes in my closet and her own creativity to create these amazing, and innovative spring looks!

she allowed me to be her "muse" ... :)

1980's J.C.PENNEY . COUTURE

J.C. Penney 1987 Denim Commercial (CLICK)

5 Amazing things about the above video:

1. Julie. (in her "fast moving denim outfit." .. Go 'head girl!)

2. Bernard's mashed-potato. (that sh*t cray.)

3. The fact that Tracy is able to "twist and shout" amidst 50 layers of clothing.

4. We can all agree that Joe is the best/worst dancer of the group.

5. The snippet you just watched was "just a sampling." I'm itching to see what else they have!

ARM PARTY, PERSONAL INVITE.

I sure hope this little guy (the Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry watch) shows up to my next arm party! Maybe he'll show up dressed in a box, wrapped in red and green paper... Hint! Hint!!!!

THE MAN REPELLER.COUTURE

i love this girl. She literally makes me LOL! to say that i'm jealous of her closet would be both obvious and a complete understatement.

watch her. and please check out her blog!

kind of reminds me of...

FASHION INSPIRED SHORT DOCUMENTARIES.

Check out these 2 unrelated very short Youtube clips that have more in common than you actually think. 

The first clip is a 'day in the life' so to speak of the public relations power house for one of the largest fashion brands ever DKNY by Miss Donna Karan. Public Relations is an integral and vital component for any successful fashion brand. Aliza Licht shows us how it's done!

The second clip gives us a peek in the the mind of the genius talent that is Tom Ford. His full documentary will air on "Visionaries" on the OWN network.

ADELE INSPIRED FASHION.

Me, being a self professed "Adele Addict," I couldn't not make a post about her vintage/Elizabethan/original style. I'm actually her number one fan and this girl can do no wrong in my head. You all better know who she is!!! 

ADELE'S LOOK VIA POLYVORE.COM

MY FIRST LADY'S INAUGURATION GOWN.

The dress that made, the ever so talented, Jason Wu a household name in fashion. Michelle Obama's inauguration gown. During a recent trip to our D.C. I was privileged enough to see The Gown up close.

It was an amazing experience. A gorgeous dress!
