The Stars in Paris {Paris Fashion Week that is}

Just like NYFW the stars arrived in Paris just as fabulous - if not more. Take a look at who and where we spotted your favorite A-listers. The jury is still out on whether or not these celebs get a little pocket change to attend these shows, or do they enjoy the glits and glam as much as we do?

FASHION FAILURE: Beth Ditto in Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 2011

Nobody loves the mean fat girl, but why does the fat girl always have to look like Homey the Clown?
Everytime I think the fatosphere is beginning to shape up (no pun intended) some fat girl goes and messes it up. First Crystal Renn with those dreadful photos, now Beth Ditto.

Who is Beth Ditto?

Each day I wake up it gets cooler and cooler to be a fat girl. Who know it would only take this long.
Allow me to introduce you to Beth Ditto. I know you didn't know who she was/is because I didn't until I googled her name.

Louis Vuitton PFW Spring/Summer 2011

What is good taste? What is bad taste? Taste is such an awful word and no one should ever really use it, according to Marc Jacobs.

You cannot help but to love him - PERIOD. As person is hard not be repetitive. But Marc Jacobs is truly one of the best designers there is.

Marc by Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are so different yet a very interesting connection of decades between both collections. And of course springs hautest trend, animal print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In case you haven't noticed the new trend for the runways is designers walking in there own shows.

Alexander McQueen PFW Spring 2011

Alexander McQueen may be gone but his style and traditional over the top pieces are still with us. Now with a touch of femme!

Sarah Burton does an amazing job reminding us why we all loved McQueen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out a few of my fav looks and the full video of the show.


Lanvin PFW Spring/Summer 2011

Lucky for us Lanvin is the newest luxury brand to get with the recessionista era. Last month H&M announced that its next designer collaboration will be with Lanvin and will be available at H&M stores on November 23rd.

If you're not familiar with the brand take a look at what you have been missing! And what may be coming to H&M stores next month.

The new spring collection is womens apparel at its best. It flows, it's bright, and it fits in all the important places.

 

 

 

 

 

Can I just say these would make an awesome Xmas present! (hint hint, wink wink)

I'm pretty sure her toe isn't suppose to hang like that but let's just focus on the shoe people.

I think we get the memo - NUDE faces are in for Spring 2011.

No one has really said much other than nothing about the fact that ALL 5 black models walked out at the same time during what seems to be the finale. I think I would have been a little happier to see them grace the runway individually but you can't please everyone right. At least there was some color on his runway.

Shoegasm: Christian Dior Spring 2011 PFW

The Christian Dior label has always been one of my favorites. But the shoes in his Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 show are literally to die and kill for!

The clothes were cute too.

Check out some of my fav looks and a video from the show.

Loving the sailor theme! Gotta love Chanel Iman for rocking the Paris runways during Paris Fashion Week.

Big "slouch socks" and booties will be the new shoe new spring show trend. But this trend is only cute for the fashionistas will skinny ankles. Curvy divas DO NOT try at home.

This one is my laptop screensaver! I'm sure you would agree that paired with the right spring attire these shoes are FIERCE!

Tweet for $pa Money

SpaWeek.com has to be one the best creations God has given us in a long time (next to Twitter and cupcakes of course). Normally a trip to the spa can really damage the inside of your pockets, and we all don't have sponsors.

Luckily for you, and me, we can pamper ourselves as much as we want from October 11th-17th for just $50 a spa treatment. You can even win some extra cash too!

But only If you are a habitual tweeter like me. @SPAWEEK is thanking all their tweethearts for tweeting about #SpaWeek. 10 uber fab Twitters will win $25 Spa Week Gift Cards – winners will be chosen at @SPAWEEK’s discretion.

OOOPS correction that's 9 uber fab twitters will win $25 Spa Week Gift Cards because I am the 1st winner! YAY me! *fist pump*



Make sure you include @SPAWEEK in your tweets and that you’re account is set to public or they won't see your tweets.

PS - Since this will be my FIRST spa experience (please don't tell anyone, I am quite ashamed.) I decided to put together a spa day or, as I am affectionately calling it, A Spa Social to share with all of my bella friends! (shout out to Spa Lacosta for thinking of an uber fab name)

Deets coming soon!

Save Your Breasts (and other parts that Cancer kills)

This weekend I run/jog/walked the Susan G Komen RACE FOR THE CURE. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely be back next year with my team of gorge gals to represent HeyBellaBlog!

Can you believe that I was one of 29,000 people participating in the race? There were people running, walking, people in wheelchairs, some people brought their dogs, people wearing pink wigs, brought pink flags, and of course pink Ravens fans! Organizers say the event is expected to raise $3 million for breast cancer research and support programs. Wowsers! Take a look at my journey to that finish line.

Lynn Brick from Brick Bodies Gym (where I faithfully go now) opened with a warm up for everyone! ZUMBA...

Been up since 5am - that's the best face I could give!

JaBooBoo (LOL) and Tiara (one of my fav Tweethearts!)

The team I joined (Western High School) won an award, and this heavy yet uber cool banner, for the new school with the most members. GO WESTERN!

Catholic High won with the most members - it was green EVERYWHERE!

And we're off!

There was even a band. Sorry for the bad shot - I was run/walk/jogging, LOL

Felt good finishing!

Race is over ... time to "get silly"!

You've got to end every event with "The Electric Slide" - it's tradition.

 

 

And of course at every event there's a ton of pride but I have to send a "Hey Bella" shout out my Bmore Hon's!

Uber fab if I must say so!
