Style Star September 2012 - Rihanna

Yes. Rihanna is my style star for September 2012 (really my everyday style star but I can't make this whole blog about her)! Whether she is hitting the basketball court, the red carpet, or the streets of NYC Rihanna commands attention through her style. No one does street style the way she does and her red carpet glam leaves nothing to be desired. Rihanna is a trend setter, a fashion magician, and my style star!

Accessorize Fall 2012

The most fun part about fall is being able to accessorize. Blazers are amazing for the fall they keep you warm but also keep you ultra stylish. Scars create a unique layering affect that clothes neck but also give you an extra flare. This fall when it comes to the boots, the higher the better! Take your stance and strut your stuff whether you're wearing booties, thigh-highs or knee boots. Don't forget the handbag that is uniquely you!

Favorite Fragrances of the Month

So it does seem like everyone and their mother has a perfume nowadays but I have come across a few new fragrances that are worth purchasing let alone smelling. The first one would be the infamous Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" perfume. This fragrances comes in an "immortalized" Nicki shaped bottle and though it hasn't been released yet I know it will be a favorite of mine just because I am in love with the bottle (OMG) ! The next fragrance on the list is Swarovski Edition by Swarovski. This fragrance captured my attention first because of it's unique clutch handbag bottle design. The scent reminds me of a powerful woman that embraces her femininity but doesn't embody it in the way she smells. This fragrance commands the recognition of power.
Last but not least is Lady Gaga's FAME. This fragrance is all around genius from it's bottle design to the idea of creating the first ever black fluid perfume. For the image of the perfume to be so Edgy the scent itself is so sweet and wearable.

Definitely get to your nearest Swarovski, Macy*s and Sephora to pick up these fragrances. They are divine.
