Ciara Wearing Givenchy – Style Breakdown Option

Ciara stunned everyone during New York Fashion Week 2015 wearing a sheer dress from The House of Givenchy. To re-create this sultry look, I have shared photos and links below. It’s not the exact replica (unfortunately we can’t give you couture) but as fashion girls, we can always search for a great option.

Style Breakdown: Sheer Dress, Bodysuit, and Over – The – Knee Boots

Personally, I am the queen of mixing high and low fashion pieces. I love couture but we live in a financially responsible world. Great news is that we don’t have to sacrifice style based on our wallets!

Simply pick up your favorite fashion magazine (or blog) and start shopping for the look you want to achieve. Don’t forget to consider your body type and budget in the process. Enjoy fashion and have fun creating your personal style!

Award-winning Journalist Soledad OBrien along with her husband Brad Raymond hosted the annual fundraising event, “New Orleans to New York City Gala,” with guests Bevy Smith, Ubah Hassan, Geoffrey Fletcher and more. The celebration was the biggest night of the year for the Starfish Foundation, created to provide promising young women a bridge between obstacles and opportunities. Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception followed by the evening’s festivities which included a special music performance by members of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra.

The Starfish Foundation Industry Roundtable Powered by Build N Blaze gave Starfish scholars a behind the scenes look inside running the Home Shopping Network (HSN). HSN CEO Mindy Grossman was on site for a Q&A with Soledad OBrien and to take the young women scholars through a day in the life at the network.

ABOUT THE STARFISH FOUNDATION: After witnessing the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2006, OBrien and Raymond began privately awarding scholarships to young women who didn’t have the resources for success. As their efforts grew, they officially formed the Starfish Foundation to expand their reach and help even more young women. Today the Starfish Foundation provides scholarships to disadvantaged young women in under-served communities and is committed to giving more than just financial assistance to its scholarship honorees. The Foundation creates a customized support program for each participant that reflects that person’s specific needs.

Met Gala 2015 Glamorous Recap and Photos

Fashion lovers everywhere witnessed the glamour, creativity, and art of The Met Gala 2015 or formally known as the Costume Institute Gala. Celebrities showed up wearing intricate designs and show stopping hats while music artists were seen wearing sheer gowns.

This year’s theme was China: Through The Looking Glass which was based upon a document. The annual fundraising event attracted entertainers and fashion industry professionals; purchasing a ticket to support the Metropolitian Museum of Art Costume Institute. Although this night was amazing in it’s own right, there’s always a memorable moment!

My favorite costume of the night goes to the lovely and talented Beyonce. Her dress was show stopping, appropriate according to the theme (loving her high ponytail) and it was detailed couture. My least favorite selection came from Gabrielle Union. Unfortunately, her dress did not exemplify the theme of the event and appeared to be a winter gown. I love Gabby (and hubby) but I’m hoping they will do better next year. She has a fabulous body and would like to have a designer create a gown for her figure.

Honorable mention goes to Blake Lively, Solange Knowles, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian West, and Jennifer Lopez. The ladies listed did it just right and added a special touch of whimsy to the evening!
