time and again.

Tom Ford is one of them.

Seems like I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately.

Which lead me back to this video. It is one of my favorites for many reason.

The calmness that she exudes has always been alluring to me.

I dream to posses that level of calmness.

I am not sure if I have posted this video before...but either way...

For years I have been insearch of this life. A little simple mixed with a little creativity, mixed with everything peaceful.

I always argue that creative people are trapped between two worlds.

The real world and the world they wish to create.

For me, its a constant battle and struggle. So much to the fact that I conform.

And then find myself...in the midst of a world of black wool suits, polka dot ties, pencil skirts, and financial reports.

When I would much rather be laying on a boat in the middle of a lake hidden between two mountain peaks eating a homemade turkey sandwich and drawing animals out of the clouds.

The irony of this is that moments prior to seeing this video,

I re-enrolled myslef into a few more years of ill fittings mens suits, scholastic achievement and the over exposure of my brain to education.

In two years I'll have a Masters Degree in Psychology and in three more perhaps I'll be Dr. Shann....

one thing is for sure....I'll still wish I was laying on that boat.....playing hide and go seek with the sun.

Brrrriiiiiiaaaaannnnn!!!!!!

Curate Couture

2011-01-05T18:27:00.000-08:00

In the nook of Brentwood this little jewel has found a home.

Curate Couture a carefully crafted Boutique filled with delicious vintage goodies and lavish consignment pieces has planted its heels and is making a statement.

Curate, is co-owned by two women I have had the honor of looking up to and becoming friends with

Vintage Guru Micaela Beckwith formerly of Decadestwo and Miriam Sternoff stylist.

These two ladies have joined forces with Lauren Raquel and have already created a vintage utopia.

Stepping one foot in the door is like walking into the closet of your favorite 1950's movie star.

It is completely breath taking.

As of lately I have been doing contributing writting for Our Weekly newspaper in Los Angeles.

Fashion writting of course. In our of our last issues I discussed the lack of color on the runways. The disappearance of Black Models. In such a beautiful industry, we are missing a beautiful people.

I pulled this short film from Essence this morning. It touches on the issue and gives insider opinions on what agencies are looking for, and why Black models arent chosen as often.....

"They are looking for white girls dipped in chocolate"

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

2010-05-13T10:14:00.000-07:00

Many people have a misconception of the lifestyles of models, actors and high profile human beings. Often they have the same struggles, same insecurities and same fears as the rest of us. Add that to constantly being in the public eye...and it seems quite unbearable.

While I have no idea why Noemie attempted suicide, I do understand that it does get tough, no matter what your issues are. Life can be tough, but so many people were not as fortunate to get the opportunity to decided between life or death. Chose life....and chose a therapist....

Supermodel Noemie Lenoir was found unconscious after an apparent suicide attempt near a Paris apartment she shares with her boyfriend, English soccer player Claude Makelele. Lenoir, who recently appeared in Usher's video "Daddy's Home," is believed to have taken "large quantities" of drugs and alcohol, according to a hospital report.
A passerby found the the 30-year-old Victoria's Secret model on a forest footpath in a park near her home. She has a five-year-old son with Makelele.

Smell

2010-04-20T01:35:00.000-07:00

Smell is one of our most important senses. The gentle breeze that blows your fragrance his way could be the very thing that drew your hunny to you. Let's face it, when we walk by a man is he smells yummy.... we notice. Smell is often the largest thing that triggers our memory of someone.

So leaving a lasting scent is so important. As an alternative to perfume which can sometimes be overpowering the Beauty Girls at Essence tried this out! Its a refreshing powder for your hair. I for one think it is devine. Nothing is better than hugging your guy and him inhaling as he reaches you ear and whispering how great your hair smells......

Try this product out. I know that you will love it.

Apparently, Ms. Knowles-Carter is not only breaking charts selling records...

but her frangrance as well. WWD, as well as The Cut report that the Macy's chain store sold

$3 million of the fragrance between February and March.

Not to mention on the day of her instore the company sold

72,000 bottles!

A very close friend taught me a lesson....

Life, you can't always plan the outcome of

a situation. Sometimes you have to let it play out....

Often, it won't workout the way you plan anyway.

You can't make a game plan before you know the game.

I am really grateful for my lesson....

Sometimes I wish I could have known things

in the beginning before the experience...

but today I realized...where is the fun in that?

Live is built for us to live and learn,

if we neglect to either...we aren't living.

That is definitely one thing I wish I

would have known in advance.

Thank you all the same.

These amazing women have the opporunity to, and amongst their peers.

African-American actresses have traveled an unpaved road for many years.

These women, continue to travel that road, and lay a foundation for those that come

after them. They are breaking records, receiving amazing accolades, and being recognized not only as an African-American Actress...but just an Actress.

For all little girls at home with big dreams, we thank you.

Vogue Italia Relaunch

2010-02-25T17:41:00.000-08:00

Vogue Italia has relaunched their website to now include a page for Vogue Curvy (for full-figured woman), Vogue Black (for African Americans), and Vogue Talents (for up-and-coming talent). The site includes features such as video interviews, photo galleries, articles, and more. Along with the relaunch of the website has come controversy.

Many are glad to finally see Vogue Italia extend their coverage to all walks of life but many remain bothered by the fact that it done so separately. Instead of Vogue Italia including these new pages within the website as a whole it instead excluded them as if they are too inferior to be included on to the main page. Although Vogue Italia did issue an All-Black issue it makes us feel as women of color with curves that we do not deserve to be incorporated into the magazine on a regular basis. Vogue Italia does not stand alone for their separatist ways we also have to fault our own magazine companies such as Essence Magazine & Latina Magazine for focusing on one particular race. Do we blame ourselves for this unjust behavior?

You can visit the re-launched Vogue Italia site here.

We've been waiting since 10..to see the lights go dim

2010-02-17T02:40:00.000-08:00

It feels like yesterday when I entered the Santa Monica airport hanger to assist in my very first fashion show.

The air was crip and fresh, I walked in and it was like a scence right out of

my wildest dream.

The stage was built, the lighting was being tested....models arriving....as designers stand around in their (yes i am a designer) outfits....and the chairs, the most delicate and important part..well of course they were in place.

For a moment, I stood there and took it all in knowing there was no other place in the world

I would rather be.

I could go on and on with this story as it is so vivid in my mind.

It wasn't until recently that I realized my love for Fashion was very deep, its more than material things,

it's a passion for beauty.....for texture, for art, for creativity and for life.

I am vert fortunate to feel this exact same way everytime I assist, see or produce a fashion show.

The images below are more than pictures, they are emotions....

Alexa Chung
Madewell Capsule Collection
Bowery Hotel Terrace
NY Fashion week 2010

Come in close for a little lesson.....Allow me to introduce you to Alexa Chung. For those unaware she is an English Tele (in my fake English accent) personality and one of America's "It Girls." As a young girl she graced the pages of Elle as a model and moved on Fashionista, TV personality and now Collaborative Designer for J.Crew's sibling line "Madewell."

Madewell’s “vision is kind of the same as mine. They like laid back styles, they like kind of relaxed clothes — classic, timeless things. So when they asked to collaborate, it was a perfect fit,” Alexa reports to the Wall Street Journal blog

While she is not sure if this collab will continue into seasons to come, she does admit the design process is very egotistical. "Everyone around is dressed like me"

We over at Candy Coat Me....give it two thumbs up. (But of course we do, we moved our lunch break so that we would be able to catch Alexa's MTV show!)

The line appears to be the perfect mix of the school girl next door meets, the artsy girl in yearbook...its very New York.

Let my people go.

Glitz and Glamour. Front rows and backstage passes. Many young fashionistas and on lookers have an opinion on the fashion industry, the runway shows, the photo shoots, the parties. But looks are decieving.

The Fashion industry is amazing, it really is. But amazing is only acquired after most times, 15 hr days, uncomfortable working condidtions, STRESS, pressure, and a high level of expectancy to produce.

Which many on lookers do not get to see.

Enter Kelly Cutrone. Many of you may remember Kelly from MTV's "The Hills" or "The City" as she was both Lauren Conrads and Whitney Ports, emotionless, and very no-nonsense boss. Kelly is the owner of public relations, branding and marketing firm "People's Revolution." She is none the less an Iconic. Her company represents 46 brands and in 2002 broke the record for most fashionn shows produced in one day.

Kelly's next venture...."Kell on Earth." A new series on the Bravo network, following Kelly throughout her life, her business and all her interns. It is no accident that "Kell on earth" may often be confused with the infamous phrase "hell on earth" because, that is what it may often appear to be.

Tune in Monday nights on Bravo for behind the scenes introduction to the real Fashion industry, the drama, the tears, the screams, the beauty, the models, the dreams of all fashionistas.

Check out the clips below for a little bite..of Kelly Cutrone.

And even with all this said...I still live for this!!!!

Derek Blanks is really a creative genius when it comes to shooting and the creative direction of the "Alter Ego" shoots.

They are by far my favorites.

Kelly Rowland is the newest face to express her alter ego.

Allow me to re-introduce myself

Just recently our favorite fashionista was seen in London sporting tons of Fur. Well, as a result, she was sent a letter by the good people over at PETA....and as any diva...she responded. Check out her response below......

“There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research……. I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot! Beyond the fact that I think she’s a diabetic, which means she needs insulin, which is taken from lab pigs (I know this because my sister happens to be in veterinary school), which would be completely hypocritical. It’s like don’t abuse animals unless it can help me.

I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.

If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. (Which btw for the record I would not – I do believe in the preservation of endangered species) But the minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if weren’t in the form of a coat I would demand they be put to death anyway are not an issue to me.

The death of high fashion. Ugh.

I eat meat, and in fact my mouth salivates as I type the word meat! And the paint throwing that’s just ridiculous! What if I was hurling Loubitons and Pierre Hardy’s at every sad poorly dressed person on the street? As right as I may be it’s just fanatical and crazy. And people have the right to feel as they please. What about art? Survival of the fittest. Natural selection? No let’s just let all the rodents run free and over take our cities. Oh wait they have, NY and LA in particular are infested! Why don’t u save them all from scavenging on the streets and ruining my evening strolls, take them home. Make them pets! Get off my back! Pun intended!

Underpaid minorities picking your vegetables, now that’s fine for you right? Please, fight for their rights. How about the poverty in the communities of brown people around the world. She had the nerve to say (and I quote) “get over it” talking of the issue of black people and slavery in this country verses cows being slaughtered. Is she kidding me? Lol yes she must be. Actually, she’s lucky most black people have real issues to worry about in the U.S and don’t give a crap what her delusional privileged opinions are. But she should try saying that again just for kicks n giggles on the corner of Adam Clayton Powell Blvd in Harlem n see how well people “get over it” lol.

If u want to preach do it about something worthwhile don’t waste my time trying to save the dang chipmunk.

Find a worthwhile cause like the women being maimed in these Middle Eastern countries. Or female circumcision. Or women’s rights here in America, we still get paid less for doing the same jobs as men. Quite honestly if you hate the world so much go live in the forest where no one else has to hear you complain about the perfectly good food chain the good Lord created. Everyone has the right to an opinion, and that’s mine on that! xoxo.”
