Le Looks Du Jour: The Fatabulous Shala Monroque @ Paris Fashion Week

This is the style of Shala that I'm used to seeing. I really missed seeing Julia Sarr-Jamois during PFW, but Shala, Shiona and Tamu brought it!

THREE LOOKS AND THE REAL STARS OF THE HOUSE OF DIOR 2011/12 Fall/Winter RTW

'THE REAL STARS OF 'La Maison de DIOR'

The "real stars" of the catwalk 'les petites mains' who work behind the scenes in the House of Dior's atelier, a trade that's quietly disappearing from many of the worlds reknown fashion houses. The livelihood of these men and women who create these beautiful works of art is at stake because of the circumstances that have come about because of this whole incident.

We all can learn a thing or two from this incident and that is, it doesn't matter how high you think you are and how much you think people revere you, we can all fall from grace. And I'm sure John Galliano and other's will think twice before they speak.  So, I say to 'les petites mains.' "Take a bow! Bravo! Bravo!

SHALA STYLE: EIGHT LOOKS

"She didn't make several international best dressed list for nothing. Love her or hate her, the woman is living out her dreams and I don't see anything wrong with that. Real style Rules!"

For me, it's all about real style or nothing else. If you see a celebrity highlighted here it's because he or she isn't receiving the same kind of shine or recognition as their peers. Now that I know that many celebrities wear borrowed clothing and jewels to many events, I can't get all excited about "faux glamour." *Diva Shrug* :)

Au Naturel: Julia Sarr-Jamois

This is another one of my favorites from fashion photo-blogger, Tommy Ton of JakandJil fame. Over the months Tommy has captured some of the most stylish women on the planet. Check out this beautiful Afrolista below as she braces against the cold while those beautiful coils dance in the wind. Beautiful!
