Sensational Swimsuit Trends for 2010

April 2, 2010 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good 4 comments


My favorite thing about shooting segments for the Daily 10 is how freaking FUN those guys let me be. Overcast day, 2 hottie models, and LSpace suits to make a big splash?

Yes please.

Here are some pics from our shoot where I breakdown the best trends for 2010. My fave piece? Hellooo.. my monokini with FRINGE!!! U’ve GOT to check out their new 2010 collection. To die!! Omg, the sweet and saucy ruffles on bust AND booty for all you *tarts* out there? Thanks LSpace for the fab piece- now if I could just find a grocery store to wear it to. 

No idea when it’ll air, check my twitter for updates!

*Great pics courtesy of my J-babe. Thanks Jocelyn :)

Me, Gaga, and Mai Today Show Appearance.

January 21, 2010 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good, Mai News 8 comments

I just arrived back from NYC to film this segment-posting here for all who missed. It’s always so much fun teaching women ways to work their wardrobe. My fave part of this was having our special guest Nicole back from this week’s episode of How Do I Look. Not only did she look Un. Be.LiEvAbly hot, but she was just so happy. So different from the woman I first met on our show. (See video to the right on blog homepage) I was elated to see her glow from feeling so gorgeous within. And um…watch her in this clip as she helps me help her get these looks on!

Thank you all for watching! Thank you Camilla and Tim for helping me pull this off together. Thank you Style, the always lovely Lindsay, and Dom for being the absolute host to make sure I had everything I need- esp rest. Thank you Nightlight Jewelry and LAS. Oh, and of course..my Gaga-licious sighting? Ok, there I was on Delta airlines red eye to NY, and in she comes to sit in my row, in a strait up red zip up velour tracksuit with a super million watt bedazzled jacket that could have lit up the city itself. No, this outfit was not cute, but as we all know Gaga makes it work like no other. She had full drag makeup on with lashes longer than mine (and if anyone knows me they know I put RuPaul to shame with my falsies.) Long story short, at the end of our flight I didn’t know if I should have even done this since it’s like 5 AM and nobody feels like talking- but I said, “Lady G, I just have to tell you thanks. Thank you for empowering young people with creativity and a message of love… And girl, I haven’t see velour like that since Hugh Hef and Britney’s bridal shower but wow u make it work.”  She died and gave me a hug with thanks. I love Gaga, man.

K I’m off to bed now for an Extra day tomorrow ! Heart you guys !~

Stretch your Style– 3 Ways to Wear

October 20, 2009 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good, Mai Musts No comments

I always teach my friends how to shop strategically. Sure, there’s those signature finds you just must own because you’ll never find em again, but the best way to get most bang outta ur buck is to shop for pieces you can wear in various ways. A surefire way for me to buy is if I can think of 3 ways I can wear that top, skirt, scarf, etc, right there in the store. Not only will you love the diverse closet you’ll have of mix and match staple items, but you’ll also stretch your styling muscles to be more creative in your unique couture. Remember friends: Fashion fades, but style is eternal!

A Fashion-Forward Find in the Fashion District

October 13, 2009 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good, Mai Musts 6 comments

Shiny me. I just have to share this new fave find of mine in the fashion — Beauty in the City. Located in the depths of downtown LA, this store is a freakn gem. I don’t know if I love more the adorable employees and store owner, Mindi, who are so “on it’ like a bonnet about fast service and diligent help, but this woman knows how to buy banging things. Sick boots, awesome use of feathers and pearls, even lace bibs for layering. This belt here is one of my faves, under $20, and do look out for more gems on my show How Do I Look! Thanks Mindi!

Feeling weightless with Ali from The Biggest Loser…and my Switchflops

October 7, 2009 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good, Mai Musts 6 comments

Sexy in Switchflops Yesterday I met the beautiful, and might I add, sexy skinny Ali- biggest winner of last season’s Biggest Loser on the actual set of the show. No really, the biggest thing on this new svelte star was her huge smile. She looks like a person who is really happy with herself. It’s that self made glow! When I jumped on the show’s infamous scale with her I felt like we were shooting and had both won because her energy was so infectious. Yano why else I was overjoyed in excitement?  Miss Lindsay Phillips and her dreamy footloose Switchflop flats that I’m wearing here. No, really–these things are saving my life right now in between all these lengthy shoots I run back to back in. After standing for hours in haute heels, not only do my feet go scurrying for these comfy kicks, but only Switchflops keep me struttin in my own sassy style with their snappy styles I can switch and change. Lu-Uv! (Doesn’t hurt that I heart the designer, Lindsay herself who is too stinkin cute!)  Anyway,  do tune in to me on How Do I Look on Style Network or Extra TV to see more of my fave fashions. MWA guys!

September 16, 2009 $tyle $tealz!, Fun, Looking Good, Mai Musts, Uncategorized No comments

me with actress bella thorne at brent shapiro black white ball “Giving yourself a makeover is easier than you think– I do it all the time in my very own home. It’s essential to refresh the areas you spend the most time getting ready so that each morning you hustle to get dressed out the door, you’re not reaching for that same brown liner and nude gloss that’s within easy reach. Here are a few easy tips on how to start!”…

For the rest of this blog, hit up my post here on 944 Magazine. Enjoy friends!

$tyle Sneak Peak: 1 Look-3 Ways airing on Daily 10 on E!

August 12, 2009 $tyle $tealz!, Looking Good No comments

I’ve always been a natural frugal fashionista. I believe you have fashion when u spend on the name, but you have style when you spend on being creative. I was blessed to understand style by growing up with humble surroundings and having a mom who taught me how to think outta the boring box to stand out. How to swap buttons on an old shirt to make it fly again, how to make “spanx” before they were even invented with the extras of control top hose. Today everyone is strapped for cash, but that doesn’t mean u at ALL need to be strapped on style. Wow. I just said “strapped” and “on”.

Tired ol tank

Moving along. Here is a sneak peek at what you’ll be seeing airing on the D10. How to shop in your OWN closet to revamp things already owned. I cannot tell u how much you probably already own in ur stash right now that can be revamped just with a few key pieces!!! Por ejemple:

Here Jessica’s rocking a basic tank. Yawwwn..boring for such a fabulously gorgeous girl. So here’s where with a few key pieces, we were able to go from now to WOW.

Look #1 First Date Diva

First Date Diva JM Must- Transform this long top into a tucked tank!
Sometimes we forget tops can take on a whole new look with just a quik tuck. Add a solid vest to play off the plaid and bring focus to the embellishments down the center.


Look #2 Meet the Parents

Meet the Parents

JM Must- Studies have shown that warm colors create an inviting, welcoming mood. Find a bright, warm, tank (this one has ruffles) and layer it beneath for a friendly flair. And respect those parents- avoid looking too revealing! Here in the chest, I created a V shaped angle by unbuttoning the outer top to layer the ruffles, creating a flattering shape and distracting from too much skin.

Look #3 Glrz Nite Out

Grlz Nite Out


JM Must- Turn this casual everyday top into an nightime knockout by pairing with a sharp blazer and focusing on accessories. Pile on necklaces, chains, mix the metals! Well fitted skinnies, peeptoe pumps, some quick BBM’s (blackberry messengers) and you’re out for the eve!

There you have your sneak peak! Set your DVR to 8/18, 8/25, and 9/8 for more :)
