  3. Baby Phat Goddess Golden by Kimora Lee Simmons Simmons gives us a warm and sensuous scent, but keeps it clean. A floral gourmand scent by Firmenich with a top note of bubbling champagne; a heart of seringa, blue lilies and night orchid, and a drydown of caramel, vanilla flower patchouli and vetiver.

L-A-M-B.com

Yummy took a browse through Gwen Stefani's website for her clothing line at l-a-m-b.com, since there is a lot of hoopla about how her line is overall doing much better than Sean John. What a surprise! So of course, you have to get the review on her collection and line from yummy411. The website is fun, trendy and has that retro feel.... as if the same web designers that hail from Urban Outfitters has come to lend a hand. The selection is small like most of the celebrity lines (ahem, House of Dereon.) There is a page on the site that shows items featured in magazines from the lamb collection (the typical "as seen in" deal) that boasts shopping on the web. I saw a crazy hot jacket that I couldn't even find online! tisk tisk.... She's doing doing her thing, definitely, by creating a line for those of us that identify her by her sense of style... trendy, rock, edgy and boundless. Disappointingly, many of the items are track jackets, pants and canvas loafers (the rave of the summer,) but very cliche for Stefani's line. We really wanted the Japanese girls to help pump up the fashion. It is rumored that the truth behind her absence at the VMA's is because of the demand for her line to make it in Fashion Week. Her fans really must be obsessed for this stuff to go so far in the markets. Prices are for the casual LA and NYC shopper, but not for the practical mall rat. Yummy will skip and be a Sean John fan. (Puff, what's up with your ladies' line?)

(yes this is a woman's shoe!)

Long weekend folks!

Uli, Kayne... uh what's her name and 'em??? (not picture worthy) Or is it ATL's Michael Knight?? (If you really care click here to vote!) If you said Michael Knight like i did, sans the falling forward tooth, then we are on the same page...straight (rodonline confirms it), fierce and can wrap my tail in some cloth anytime!

Hopefully, I can feature some of his designs to show his skills, but until then check out this site for some fab fashion talk about the show from some of our 'faaabulous friendses' @ rodonline and here for some more pics of this oh so yummy designer. Whatever you say, he's cute in his own way =)

ALL ABOUT YOU!

Hey readers, I want to know what has inspired your style... Have you had any life experiences that have influenced your style? Who's your fashion/style icon? Let me hear what you have to say in the comment area below!

 

Catch it before it's gone...

I was thinking about trends that I like, but.. oh no! those are all summer trends that are quickly vanishing with fall looming around the corner. retail stores are bringing out their drab black, browns and greys. The air is cooler today, and leaves are starting to hit the ground already... remember the aura you got as a kid getting ready for school, trying to make the summer last? aaahh fall nostalgia...

well, being a little older now, here's my 'make- the- summer- last' treats....
1.)PASTEL POLISH.. fashion icon Kelis is on it!

2.)PLAID SHIRTS.. these make you think fall, but there are some still out there on clearance with a wide range of summer fun colors... pinks, yellows, purple...... wear them with your favorite pair of denim and work it like Madonna!

Lastly, what do these girls have in common besides being beautiful and rich? Fabulous skin! The 3.) dewey skin look is season-less, but definitely a fav for summer. Lots of sheen, youthful and glowing (but don't go super slick greasy on us.) I know you are thinking that's just the magic of photos, but the effect is there and you can achieve it too... and look natural. You can do it by going through the regular steps such as hydrating your skin, exfoliating and moisturizing (click here for more tips)..or you can buy the look! Try MAC's strobe cream (check in the yummy product section), SMASHBOX'S artificial light, or a drugstore product (Wet 'n Wild)... usually with anything being described as illuminating. Top the cheeks or t-zone with a bronzer or fleshy blush and feel young all over again! Bring life to these fall and winter months when dryness looms and your color washes out.

My fab beauty tool of the day/aka yummy product section: M.A.C. Strobe cream ($28.50)
The ultimate pick-up. De-stresses and wakes up tired skin with a moisturizing, vitamin-loaded zap. Iridescent texture makes skin glow. Leaves skin with a natural, healthy glow inspired by backstage lighting techniques. Mix with foundation or wear it alone, put it on your shoulders, be fabulous and oh so yummy!

Does M.A.C. need to pay me or what? For a less expensive version of some great moisture and sheen, Palmer's has a great illuminator moisturizer (about $8, drugstores.)

FASHION ICON:

Yes, I said it earlier and i say it now. Kelis is a fashion icon.. why? not because she's married to Nas (she knows how to wear that accessory!) but because she knows how to take trendy, spunky and cute and still be sophisticated Ms. Jones-- she defines who Ms. Jones is and it isn't dictated by Nas! (They can teach my girl B and her weak man Jay a thing or two.) Work it girl... moreover... my girl may not always look cute, but she's edgy, and fun and can work it with confidence... now let's see you do that!

Find out more info on Kelis and see her in some great fashion and makeup in an old One World magazine- May edition featuring Kelis.
