Empire State of Mind

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**



The SS was more than excited to see Jay Z and Alicia's performance during the World Series. This performance was sizzling, Baby! Did you see Alicia's boots? OMG! No! Have you seen the BOOTS!!! Fabulous!

Michelle's Glamour

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS really does love this Glamour cover featuring Michelle Obama. Yet, the Stylist should be fired! Where was the imagination for this HUGE issue!!!! OMG! Why would you pair a 2x4 choker, with this dress?.....Plus, try to make it look correct by skillfully placing the bows on the outside? The choker does not go with this dress. The SS would have accentuated this dress with a fabulous brooch or a sparkling belt (Michelle LOVES belts). The neck would have remained bare and the ears would have been blinged out! There were so many areas to play with....what about the wrists and the hands! Wow! Nevertheless, pick up the magazine....it's sure to be a great read!

No Comment

Well, all I have for you is...have you seen this album cover? I'm sorry....the makeup is flawless. Airbrushing can be a wonderful thing.

Do U Dare to Flare?

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

Lady Gaga will be featured in the December issue of Flare magazine. Although her makeup and style is quite eccentric, she always looks flawless. Check out the lashes!!!! The hair jewel is just amazing; not to mention, the contouring around the nose and eyes.

J Hud and Versace

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

It is so good to see Jennifer glowing. She looks fabulous in this glamorous blush gown. The smokey eye is a great contrast to this simple look. I am assuming this was to be a matching ensemble with Donatella. What do you think?

Mr. President and His Family

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

There is just something truly sweet about walking to church. No traffic, no struggles, no drama on the road....just walking to a peaceful place. Then again, when you are the President of the Unites States....do you really ever experience traffic?

Old School meets New School

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS was a huge fan of the "Money Earnin, Mt. Vernon" Overweight lovah. Heavy D is still out in the mix and someone snapped a shot of him with Nas.

Keep A Child Alive

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

Halle Berry and a host of celebrities attended the Keep A Child Alive event in NYC. Halle minimilizes this look by wearing a black cuff bracelet and drop earrings. It is apparent that the dress is the main attraction. It has texture and drama; plus, she breaks up the black with a scarlet clutch.

Purple Rain

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

Check out Prince and his lady supporting Fendi (great line). His lady is taking it a little overboard with the chunky, armoured necklace and chandelier earrings. Plus, the one shoulder dress! Tragic! She should have paid more attention to her man's simplistic approach to this dramatic neck piece. The necklace is the focal point and everything else is just......EXTRA!!!!

Louis Vuitton's Travel Upgrade

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS knows that this a travel bag that most would love to have in their accessory wardrobe. Louis Vuitton has taken it to another level with the Speedy Travel Bag. Your bag can be customized just for you. LV has given you the option of initials and vertical or diagonal stripes (17 colors). Now, this is personalization at its best and you may want to consider this item. Oh! The initials are painted on the canvas and a special coating is applied to prevent flaking. Lifetime guarantee, for sure!

Trick or Treat?

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**



The SS was terrorized, as a young child, during one of the neighborhood halloween outings. Picture this....eight children...knock on the "wrong" door...a man opens the door and comes outside with a shotgun!!! Not a trick or a treat! So.....I am not a huge fan; but, the decor gets me every year. There are a lot of creative people and Eddie Ross just takes it to another level. An upscale candy bar has got to be ingenious. Love it!

Grandma's Doilies Revamped

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS has a thing for quality, vintage items. I especially love doilies and linens; because, they remind me of Grandma. Have you had this experience? The "untouched living room" and awakened by the scent of breakfast. A house always filled with guests and homecooked meals three times a day. Wow! Those were the days. These pics just blew me away and definitely broadened my horizons. I thought that it would be nice to share and travel back in time with a twist.


Vintage doilies from the Salvation Army

Amazing idea....Rite Fabric Dye (Who would've thought?)


Beautiful!

Men: Are You Dressed for Fall?

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS loves a stylish man. There is just something sexy about a well-dressed, confident man. A man that can take care of himself is a major turn-on. Of course, a woman is always willing to assist where wanted/needed. This is what woman do; however, if you can take care of yourself and the lady or whoever (as we have seen below) in your life....that's major!




There are so many definitions of a well-dressed man. He can be in a pair of cargo pants, with a newsboy cap and a leather jacket. He may choose to add a pair of Timbs or Adidas. Whatever! The SS has stated before that style is NOT a size....it is an attitude. How do you style yourself? When you get dressed in the morning, are you in struggle or statement mode? Are you in style? Just make sure that your belt and shoes/boots match!

Afro Chic at Louis Vuitton

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS is in love with the Spring 2010 Louis Vuitton line. The trend is being set for "outside the box" messenger and duffel bags. The exterior, straps and hardware details of these accessories are simply amazing. In addition, the actual clothing line is breath-taking. The afro's are just fabulous!

Speechless Style!

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The SS is all about style and stylish people....places and things. Nouns. At first, I did not want to cover this grand event. However, it is too creative and jaw-dropping....not to share. Have you seen this ****? There are plenty of four letter words. You take your pick and fill in the blank. Precious has her precisely trimmed hair draping this pinstriped, metallic grey...curtain style trench coat... with a train. So, which one of you would like to remove this garter belt? Just because...Who's gonna check her boo?

Who Stole the Cookie from the...?

**From the Desk of The Style Sage**

The recession stole the Cookie from the cookie jar. Conde Nast has decided to shut down the following magazines: Gourmet, Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride. This is horrible news, as approximately 180 jobs will be eliminated. Wow!
