Style Profile: Rosario Dawson

 Rosario Dawson knows a thing or two about fashion. She is always put together. I can't recall a time when I've ever seen her as a fashion don't. She dresses for her body, and while she enjoys wearing color black seems to be her signature, and might even rock a trend or two. When it comes to adding accessories to her wardrobe, she doesn't scrimp. She's known to carry a statement bag and even adds a little bling with jewels. Rosario knows how to mix subtly with glamor and we like that.

Style Scope: Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Queen Latifah - Born March 18th

Mysterious and intriguing, the Pisces woman is all about glamor. She likes subtly in fashion but don't confuse it with her fading into the background. She will promptly show up anyone who tries to upstage her. She's one of those women who enjoys catering to the scene. She'll get in where she fits in.

The birthday boy.

Juelz Santana celebrated his birthday (he turned 28 on February 18th) with a party at M2 Ultra Lounge in NYC. Guests in attendance included Ashanti, Snoop Dogg, Lil Kim,Daz Dilinger and Fabolous.

Ok, ma. We like this look. 

Somebody tell Lil Kim the bleaching is not working out.

Alison Ceglio: Reality stars will drain their 15 minutes of fame won't they. She looks cute though. 

Somebody tell LaToya pink hair is never cute unless you are Pink.

Fashion Week: Aquascutum Fall 2010

Coats, jackets and long skirts were the center of attention for Aquascutum. The latest fall collection is combining daytime chic with evening glamor, complete with adornment and detail. It's almost as if the models were dressed for an formal ball at a ski-lodge, complete with puff jackets and toe-dusting gowns. But it's cool though! I'm digging this collection, simply because the garments were flawless and the models carried them off with no problem. Sometimes the simplest and most amazingly usual looks are the best. This is one of those times.

Fashion Week: Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2010

 Weird. Eccentric. Chic and glamorous could describe Vivienne Westwood's latest collection. Her Red Label ready-to-wear is jam-packed with prints, intriguing colors, draping, and things that make you go hmmmmm...Not that that's a bad thing, Miss Westwood has never been one to bore you on the runway. As for the fall 2010 collection, it isn't necessarily a must-have but it's not a schmoozer either.
