Isabel Marant For H&M Collection Lookbook Is Here

I was excited to hear a couple of months ago when H&M announced their collaboration with Parisian designer Isabel Marant. She is one of my fave designers, I love her effortlessly bohemian chic mixed with rock 'n' roll creations. The collection's lookbook is now available for all to see. I must say I'm loving what I've seen and I can't wait until it hit the stores and online on November 14th. The collection features clothing and accessories for men, women and kids. Here are a few of my fave pieces being modeled by Milla Jovovich, Alek Wek, and Lou Doillon!

Jay Z & Beyonce Top Forbes List of Highest Earning Celebrity Couples

THE GLAM LIFE: ENTERTAINMENT

The Carters land at the top of the food chain of highest earning celebrity couples!

C'mon people, are we really surprised?!  Not at all.  In fact, if they weren't at the top of the list, something would be just wrong.  I mean, let's think about it like this, you take a work horse like Beyonce and a super intelligent business man, like Jay Z.  Put them both together and they equal an unrivaled powerhouse match up.  Not to mention, they have one of the most endearing, fairy tale, Bonnie & Clyde type of ride or die love that we have seen (which seems genuine) in the entertainment industry to date.  Which is a rarity now days (just being honest). They have it all.  What gets better than this?  Um...pretty much nothing.

So, let's recap, both are entertainers at the top of their games, with a gazillion hits under their belts. Jay Z’s Watch the Throne album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America.  Dayuum!  Queen Bey, who took a miniscule break to become mother to Blue Ivy in January last year, and was back with a vengeance this year with her Mrs. Carter World Tour, grossing an average of $2 million per night.  That's some serious cheese.  But we all  know some of that money came right from those high a$$ ticket prices.  I mean, you know I love me some Bey, but those ticket prices were just way too high (I'm jus' sayin).  

Of course this isn't it for the power couple.  They have other interests too.  Jay Z is part owner of the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home to the Brooklyn Nets.  However, he recently sold his stake in the team and will therefore be dumping his share into the arena, all because he started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant, Victor Cruz and Skylar Diggins.  Bey also has a collection of fragrances and her House of Deréon clothing line.  And not to leave out the adorable Blue Ivy, as she will most likely be joining the Carter family business sooner than later.  She not only has already been featured in her Dad's song, 'Glory', but her parents have also petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys.  Hot damn!  I'm definitely not mad at them for that.  Winning.

Bey and Jay earned $15 million more than the No. 2 couple on the list of highest earning celebrity couples: Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.  Ha!  I'm lovin' it.

Our Spring 2014 NYFW Front Row Faves!!

THE GLAM LIFE: FASHION

Yes, I know that NYFW has been over for almost a week now.  Ahem...but it's never too late to share some of our favorite things, like fashion and celebs, even if we are a day or two or three...maybe even four late!!  But who's counting?!  There's no time to share like the present, right?!  After all, I was taught that sharing is caring.  

So check this out.  We've compiled some of our most adored and favorite front row Glam looks from designers all over NYC's fashion week.  Out of this glamorous group of the fashionably fabulous, I'm partial to Coco Rocha and my Glam Style Crush, Nicole Richie.  Both of these lovely ladies are always on point in my fashion book (I mean, it does help to be a super model OR the daughter of an R&B icon though).  All looks display some sense of femininity which is always a winner in my mind!  I love being a woman, and there's nothing like workin' what yo' mama gave you!

Anyway, take a look and let us know which Glam rocks your style boat!!

Beyonce Does Gucci and 3.1 Phillip Lim...

THE GLAM LIFE: CELEBRITY FASHION

Matching prints and bright colors and designer labels.  Oh my!  Mrs. Carter is still hitting us off with fun fashionable glam snapshots via Tumblr and we just can't seem to get enough (well, I can't get enough).  It appears that Queen Bee, has put her Topshop finds to rest...for now, but has decided to grace us with some ultra-glam looks from 2014 Gucci Resort and 3.1 Phillip Lim.  

Check out Bey giving us life in a chunky statement piece and head-to-toe printed yellow Gucci ensemble (Werk that red lip Mrs. Carter, we see you!!):

And if we didn't think that she gave us enough with the yellow on-trend printed look, check out how sultry she looks in this feminine blue sheer polka-dot 2014 Gucci Resort  jumpsuit.  That necklace though!  I die.  Just gorge, I swear!!

I'm a lover of color in any season for any reason!  So, I absolutely adore the bright striped Gucci sweater Beyonce is wearing in this look below.  Her hot pink linen pants are a perfect match for that sexy but casual compliment to her bright multi-colored top. Score, once again!

Lastly, dressed up sweats made a huge appearance on the runways for Fall 2013, and I have to say, I'm kinda diggin' it.  For one, sweats are hella comfy.  Two, they work as a great camouflage (for those problem areas).  And three, they are now super glam and stylish. This is a win-win! Plus, anything that can be paired with a fierce heel and layered with accessories, and maybe even a leather moto-vest, definitely works.  And, we see it works for Mrs. Carter too!   

Check out Bey as she rocks a 3.1 Phillip Lim Sono Mama Embroidered Sweatshirt paired with a blinged out chunky gold chain and tousled beach waves (it doesn't any get better than this)!  

Tell us, what do YOU think of Beyonce's designer fits?!  Subscribe and tell us in the comments below.

Ciara Celebrates The GRAMMYs...Employee Accomplishments!!

THE GLAM LIFE: CELEBRITY FASHION

Okay, so for starters, my work day (Thurs) was filled with lots of excitement and fun, to say the least. Not only was FREE FOOD provided (Yes, some would call me Greedy Gretchen. C'mon, who doesn't have an appreciation for food?) at our end of Summer Celebration and Employee Appreciation Day, but not only that, we were even treated to two very exciting artist performances. Our Glam, Ciara and the awesome Gavin DeGraw (such a wonderfully humble and talented artist). Actually, Ciara did her thing too.  I was very impressed.  I was really looking forward to seeing her signature pop-it-drummer-move, but she was more subdued this time.  It was different for her, but I was still feeling it nonetheless.  So...let's get straight to the point, I'm not really here to discuss her performance.  I'm sure what everyone really wants to know is, what she was wearing and if Future was with her, right?!  

First, let me just say that Ciara, is absolutely stunning in person (with minimal makeup), and much thinner (like model thin) than I expected.  She's tall too.  Anyway, she showed up with little longer than shoulder length semi-blondish highlighted hair, wearing a Chanel t-shirt w/four pics on the front (can't find anywhere online), leather leggings (so on trend for the Fall) a red plaid shirt (on trend too) tied around her waist and a pair of $2645.00 Christian Louboutin Monicarina Over-The-Knee Leather Platform Boots.  GASP!!  Love.  

Accessories were sweet and simple.  Gold chain with diamonds and thin gold rings on every finger.  She looked super glam!!  Loved her look from head to toe.  And by the way, I heard that Future was in the building (didn't see him with my own eyes)!  These two are sooo in love (I love, love). Happy for her!!

Get a closer look at these bad-ass killer Monicarina Loubies here.  Glam Splurge!!

Today (yesterday) was a good day (say it like Ice Cube).

Until next time...toots!!
