11 Little Black Dresses for 2011

The Little Black Dress of the year... 


Belongs to Harry Potter's Emma Watson, who wore this flirty feathery frock by Spanish designer Rafael Lopez to the November 2010 premiere of 'Deathly Hallows.' 

Other LBDs that top the charts in terms of style, simplicity and elegance?

Well, I'm no Robin Givhan, but if I were then I'd start with Washingtonian (by way of Chicago) Michelle Obama and the TDF (to die for) vintage 1950s Norman Norell cocktail dress she wore to the December 2010 Christmas in Washington event at the White House.
The First Lady in vintage Norell.
Dresses like this are valued at $250,000 and are usually only on display at museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, according to the Vintage Style Files. 
You can look, but don't touch
this 1955 Norell vintage dress.
It is on display at the Met,
reports the Vintage Style Files.
Another first lady (of Spice, that is) who doesn't disappoint in the LBD category is Victoria Beckham, seen below in this ruffled black mini. The World's Most Glamourous Celebrity, according to a 2010 Max Factor poll, wore the frock to a lunch in the Piccadilly neighborhood of London in May of 2010.

Style Tip: Tan heels with a little black
dress makes the legs look longer.

But no one with multiple children from multiple nations is more stunning than Angelina Jolie in this sequined Armani LBD, which she wore to the premiere of Salt in July of 2010.
Stunning!
Here's how some other celebs are rocking their little black dresses...

MIA!! & HAPPY NEW YEAR!


First off I wanted to say sorry guys, I've been MIA! I've been buzy working on business since this is our most busiest time of the year. Most of you know I own a graphic design business with my Tulio. Anyway, with the holiday and work, I haven't had much time for anything. But look out, I will be posting hopefully this week, if not Saturday for sure.

Thank you for all those who have stopped by, please let me know if you have any questions! SAVE me on twitter so you can reach me faster!

I want to thank everyone who has supported me, and my blog and what I do with my love of makeup. It really means a lot to me knowing such great people I've met, from all over. I have this huge opportunity to meet people from all over that most people couldn't dream of doing. I have met talented men and women in this field and appreciate all of you.

I just wanted to let you know that, in 2010, let's all breathe a lil easier, don't sweat the small stuff and just LIVE! LIVE our own lives, and not worry about others..focus on the positive and never let anyone bring you down. This is your life... it's yours.. forget about the people who don't support you.. just know I do! Whatever you love to do, keep doing it..Happy New Years and may all your dreams be possible this new year.

<3 Happy NEW YEAR!
