Best Moment Of 2009: President Barack Obama's Inauguration

On January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the first African-American President of the United States of America. Our 44th President made history. Millions of people brave chilly Washington D.C. and millions more watch all over the world to be apart of this amazing historical event.

It was a magical weekend first kicked off with the concert with Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and many other all-stars honoring the president. They actually attended over 10 official Balls. Michelle Obama wore a gorgeous white one-shouldered applique Jason Wu dress.

I just thank God for allowing me to witness this once in a lifetime event. I cried for joy until I couldn't cry anymore.

I wish everyone a bless and safe New Year and I would like to thank all of my fabulous readers for their support. Remember to love fashion but never take it too seriously!

See you guys next year for all the stunning gowns on the red carpet and of course the foolishness on the red carpet!

Cold Kool Stops Stop

Brrrrrrrrr.

Last night was the coldest ride in a long time.
The reasons are complicated, but for the moment I have the old style black brake blocks on my front brake and salmon Continental Kool Stops on my rear brake. On the ride home my face was frozen, the bottoms of my non-skid Dansko clogs were frozen, the black brake blocks felt like ice cubes scraping against my rim... but the Continental Kool Stops performed like it was an afternoon in June. It was incredible. I'm fully converted.

Speaking of conversions, I have a set of Kool Stops for the front brake, I was going to install them with my new front wheel. More on that soon!

First Lady Michelle Obama is known for her impeccable style. Michelle looked amazing all year. Her favorite designer was definitely Parisian designer Azzedine Alaia which Naomi Campbell is his muse for many years.

She is confident and she knows what works for her. The First Lady has been criticize for showing her tone arms but if I had arms like hers, I would wear tank tops everyday!

Michelle O. is not stuffy nor boring. I remembered when I had my boutique upstairs from Van Cleef Hair Salon in 2003 where Michelle Obama got her hair done by her stylist for many years named Rahni Flowers that she would always try on unique and sexy pieces like Comme de Garcon and Barbara Bates(a local Chicago designer).

Not since Jackie Kennedy Onassis have I been intrigued by a First Lady stunning wardrobe.

Best Designer Of The Year: Prabal Gurung

Ashley Greene


Zoe Saldana


Becki Newton

Demi Moore

Rachel Weiss

Prabal Gurung took over the red carpet this year with his fabulous creations. Celebrities were eating up his chic cocktail ensembles. Zoe Saldana and Demi Moore were the first to rock his pieces and everyone else got on the band wagon.

I would rock every single of his garments. I am looking forward to his Fall 2010 collection to blow me away!

Gentleman's Bike

We're not spending much time outside these (cold) days, but I did see this handsome bike.

Best Diva Of The Year: Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana has been giving me Hollywood glamour since day one of 2009. I am still recovering from all of this fabulousness!

The "Avator" actress is beautiful and talented. I love her style because she doesn't try too hard. She is tres chic from head to toe.

Zoe is not devoted to one designers. She experiments with sensational designers such as Roland Mouret, Marchesa, Calvin Klein, Chloe and Giambattista Valli.

My diva left everyone in the dust with her stunning wardrobe!
