It's a Brad Brad World

It was just announced that Brad Goreski, the fabulous former assistant to celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, is getting his own show on Bravo! It's a Brad Brad World, as the show is tentatively titled, will be a docu-series following Goreski through the challenges of starting his own business, but I'm sure there will be some personal drama thrown into the mix.  I can only hope the show will be full of the same "moody, snarky, Braditude" we all loved on The Rachel Zoe Project.

Readers-- Do y'all love Brad as much as I do? Will you tune in?

Obsession of the Moment: Janna Conner Bracelets

I am loving these cuffs by Janna Conner. They'd make such a statement paired with a simple t-shirt and jeans.

Readers--what's your obsession of the moment?

Quote of the day: Tory Burch--70s Style

 

"The Seventies are often referred to as the decade that taste forgot. This is unfair, and for anyone who really loves fashion, it's just not true...To designers, the decade is a goldmine of fashion inspiration. Any time there's a lean pant, a high waist, a jersey dress or a platform on the runways, the critics will write, 'Seventies-like, 70s-inspired,' etc. Take Spring 2011, where the predominant trend off the American and European runways was the Seventies, just updated. In fact, the Seventies actually referenced silhouettes and styles set in the Forties -- a decade that is celebrated for its timeless, classic appeal."--Tory Burch in an article for The Huffington Post

Angry Birds the Movie

I know this has been circulating the internet, but I love Angry Birds too much not to share this video with my readers.

Nashville Fashion Week

I cannot believe I'm missing my hometown's inaugural fashion week. With Christian Siriano, Akiko, Betsey Johnson,  Leona Collections and Cooper by Courtney Warren all showing and speakers like Style Blogger Zarna Surti and PR maven Kelly Cutrone on the schedule, Nashville Fashion Week is proving itself a legitimate event even in its first year.

If you're in Music City and attending shows, parties or speakers this week, please leave a comment and let me know all the details. I'm dying for information!

Music Video Monday: Pretty Girl Rock

It is quite the rarity when I actually enjoy having a song stuck in my head. Normally, ear worms like Rebecca Black's "Friday" and Justin Bieber's "Baby" irritate me to no end, but Keri Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock" is a tune I could endlessly replay in my mind. The number is catchy and a bit self-indulgent, with an elaborate video to match.

In this tribute montage, Hilson appears dressed as prominent African-American performers throughout the decades. Not only does the singer imitate modern singers like Janet Jackson and T-Boz of the popular 90s girl group, but Hilson also pays homage to the ground-breaking black performers of the early 20th century like Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge.

After the series of impersonations arrives in the 21st century, Hilson finishes the song in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, showcasing this songstress as a true "pretty girl."

Readers what song is stuck in your heads today?
