GET THIS LOOK: Dawn Richard In Alice + Olivia

First of all...

WE'RE BACK!!!

Sorry folks. I've been really really busy trying to do something called MAKING DIRTY MONEY!! The reality is, I have to work to afford to do some of the things that I like to do. One of those things is shopping (go figure). 

So what better way to use as a segway into Dawn's newest fliest look than to get you revved up with a new post on a fabulous find from Alice + Olivia.

Who Rocked it Harder? Dawn Richard vs. Lydia Hearst

Yet another "Who Rocked it Harder?" post where you tell me who you think rocked the same fashion piece the hardest!!

Dress Like Dawn: Fever by Natischa Harvey "Tiff" Pump

So about a week ago, during New York's Fashion Week, our girl Dawn Richard walked some really up-and-coming but high-profile runway shows that featured only the hottest celebs and socialites in Music & TV like Sachika & Edwing DeAngelo. And if you remember way back then (lol,) she tweeted a picture of a very SICK shoe that we found out to be, ORIGINALLY, by Gianmarco Lorenzi! However, we have come to learn that the shoe that Dawn is wearing is NOT Gianmarco Lorenzi (the higher end version seen worn by celebutantes and socialites like Raven-Simone and Amber Rose) but actually Fever Shoes by Natischa Harvey, an up and coming shoe designer straight out of Atlanta.

You Give Me Fever... Christian Siriano for Payless

I may have just lost it. MAY HAVE!!!

You Give Me Fever... Gianmarco Lorenzi Swarovski "Disco Night" Pump

Dawn sent a twitpic of her "new shoes" the other day and I have to admit, this is possibly the most beautiful shoe in the world. Sorry Louboutin, you make some really nice shoes, but this here takes the cake!

"... we aint never gon' die- BAD BOY BITCHES WE RIDE!"

Check out this DOPE track by Bad Boy's own Aasim ft Dawn!
Somebody help me... I can't stop singing this damn hook: "We Like Bonnie & Clyde, we aint never gon' die- BAD BOY BITCHES! WE RIDE!" (I FREAKIN LOVE IT)

Its That Dirty Money: Loving You No More (remix)

It's HERE!!! The official REMIX with Aasim, Diddy, Kalenna, Dawn & Drake!!!

Adam Saaks T- Shirt Tutorial

Yeah I jacked this entry from BitchieLife but so what!! ;0] It's a really good tutorial if you're into DIY and making your own variation of clothing. Honestly, I think all of us Fashionista's have a little "designer" in us. Maybe this tutorial will help you or inspire you to do something of you own. Who knows... maybe we'll be featuring you here soon too!

You Give Me Fever... Jeffery Campbell "MaryRocks" Wedge Lace-up Bootie

So by this point its no secret that I have a thing for shoes, almost OBSESSED (Every time I think about someone being "Obsessed", I think of Beyonce's stellar performance in the movie of the same name. Classic.). So let's just say for the sake of conversation, that shoes are possibly the only things (besides food and tea) that GIVE ME FEVER... can you blame me though?

Bye Bye Mini... Hello "Nana Skirts"

Don't get it twisted, I love this new LONGER look. Thank goodness a skirt that I can finally wear that can possibly make me look a bit taller- BUT, I also feel that this new look can possibly add AGE to the new, younger, fresher trends to Fall 2010 collections. I guess we'll see. But here are some looks like I would most definitely try.

I Whip My Hair Back & Forth

Ok Young Willow Smith... we see you! This track is so much fun and I can see this girl seriously knocking over your average cookie cutter pop star with this joint. If you don't know... NOW YA KNOW: This song is BANOODLES!!

You Give Me Fever... Nicholas Kirkwood "Bounty Platform" Shoe

A work or art... architectural genius?! To me, this shoe is just all types of yum...

You Give Me Fever... Sam Edelman "Lorissa" Shoe

Are these shoes hot or what? This is what you call a "STATEMENT PIECE", lol. A shoe that does all of the talking for you. Shit, I'm speechless...

DawnBlog: Hmm... Looks Familiar?

Dawn recently updated her blog with a thread about a particular style of shoe... looks familiar?

We recently did not one, but TWO updates about wedged boots and leopard print boots... you can check them out in our archives.

I tell you, that Dawn Richard has such a SNAZZY sense of style... *wink*

Alice + Olivia CAREER Collection

I wish I had a career that was sexy like this... OWW! One of my fav labels, Alice + Olivia, FINALLY started their own career collection featuring pieces that are simple, sleek and TO DIE FOR!

Dawn & Diddy- Dirty Money X 2010 Teens Choice Awards

Who Rocked it Harder? Dawn Richard vs. Nicki Minaj

Yet again Dawn is CRUSHING all of you ladies in the industry... well, except Nicki Minaj! Both ladies rocked this amazing Tsumori Chisato Fringe Lace-Up Wedge this year. Although Nicki wore hers earlier this year at BET's Spring Bling, Dawn wore hers last night at the FOX Teens Choice Awards during her performance with Diddy-Dirty Money! Also take note that Nicki's also dons a multicolored print on hers, where as Dawn's is plain Cream.

REMIX: Leopard Hi Lo

Remember last months entry entitled "Boot Camp" well we found several variations of the same boot at various prices! (Even a pair from Forever 21) Keep reading...

BROWN SKIN... Orange Lip [VID TUT]

Shingai Shoniwa of Noisettes

So basically, I'm a big ass wimp. No I do not deny it or make excuses for it. I do not like to take DARING risks. Primarily because THEY'RE RISKS! The further you push the envelope the further you have to go for an explanation. And I suppose, its safe to say we all know how I feel about explaining things. So we (meaning me) just don't go there. However, today I found this AMAZING video tutorial on wearing a BOLD ORANGE OPAQUE LIP! Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! YES! An ORANGE lip! And I've got to say, its probably the best thing I've seen in cosmetics since Maybelline's XXL Lash Extensions Mascara! (Yeah I know that they have more IMPROVED versions, but ladies, you know how it is when you find something that you really like... I SWEAR BY IT!)

Cop 'Em: Jeffery Campbell "CLINIC" Shoe

LADIES IN THE GAME... Dawn Richard is killing you right now! Her shoe game is always BEYOND ON POINT! Dawn is probably one of the few celebs that will rock something totally left field of what traditional standards of fashion SAY you SHOULD wear. And let me just say, she rocks them shits well!!

Poppin' Them Bottle on Her Birthday

Anyhoo... here's an avatar of these shoes if you'd like it:

Boot Camp

As you can probably see, yeah, I'm a "Shoe Whore" (NOUN: One who will do anything for shoes) but I can't seem to help it, to me shoes are the HIGHLIGHT if not THE boldest accessory you can ever wear with your outfit. For most of us, shoes have significance and give your complete outfit a STATEMENT!

So as a result, the shoe is essentially the most important piece to your look!

And it is no surprise that this season the boot has made a very STRONG statement (also, look out for the boot & bootie in the Fall and Winter seasons as well.) These are some styles that can take you from Plain Jane to Va Va Vixen in 0 to 60 mph FLAT!

(Also, make sure to post your own finds as well)

So Shiny and New

Tis the season to wear Metallic, Metals & anything SHINY... Falalalala Lalalala
These are the things that dreams are made of...

Ring The Alarm

It's early in the morning and I'm on my way out of the door, headed to work and the first thing that flashes through my mind is "WHOA! Where's my ring?" Yes, I too happen to be one of those people who have a finger complex and need to wear rings AT ALL TIMES!

So today's first post is all about the rings. We go from high to low and I think I picked out a few really cute and exotic styles for you to check out. Let me know what'cha think!

Metal Mania

I did a post yesterday that featured a pair of Raphael Young cutout booties that featured a heavy dosage of metal fringe on the side. Well I've decided to do a FRUGALNISTA play on the shoe and give a more affordable version of the shoe as well as a few pieces that I felt worked well with it.

Charlotte Russe for FRUGALNISTAS

So if you haven't heard already, specialty retailer, Charlotte Russe, whose known for their affordable juniors apparel has just revamped their look and their apparel. Now, it may cost you a little bit more to get your hands on these pieces, but the benefit of this make over is that the quality is a bit better than before.

One of the new lines that they've released is their Sport Couture line. Lots of sportswear pieces including cotton racer back tanks, bombers, fun prints, & plenty of FABULOUSNESS for you to shop (by outfit by the way).

Here are some pieces that I thought was very DAWNesque and that you FRUGALNISTAS would probably like, especially since this entire outfit is under $100!!
