Dressing like the boys from Entourage

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge Entourage fan. I love the script, I love the boys, and I love the clothes. And it bums me out majorly that this is the last season.

I just couldn’t let this great show end without doing a little segment about the styles seen on it. So last week I went on E! News to show you how to dress your man (or yourself) like the boys from Entourage.

Watch the video here!

Tearin it up at the TCA’s


Getting red carpet ready is always so much fun. I LOVE these opps to give talented makeup artists, hairstylists, and designers their time to shine and feel honored to be their muse for the night. Especially since I myself started out as a MUA (makeup artist), I know how special it is to give a star their signature look for the eve–it’s a modern day Cinderella moment. And I’m so blessed to have such wonderful artists around me to give me their magic wand wave for the night.

I go to about 2-3 parties a week where I’ll link up with my favorite talents to help me get ready. If you read my blog alot you’ll see my faves are from my very own Pretty Posse from my show How Do I Look? on Style Network. Last week I got gussied up for the Comcast Entertainment Group Summer TCA Cocktail Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Bev Hills. It was awesome being able to catch up with my fave faces like Michael Yo, the always dazzling Catt Sadler, sexy sistas like Danielle Fishel, Kristina Guerrero, and Amy Paffrath and more. Chatted it up with the Kardashians, and swapped tanning tricks with Olivia and Tracy of Jerseylicious, ha. Meanwhile Mel B. and I ooh’d and aah’d over our hot fits, and I still can’t get over Kendra’s slammin post mama bod. I’m honored to be a part of such a fun network that allows us each to shine in our very own way. From the staff that pumps out the sickest events to the stars that light em up, Style’s so got it goin on. I always look forward to the events we have because I know it’s gonna have lotsa glitz, yummy food, and lil special touches to make anyone feel VIP. Next best thing to being at these parties? Tuning in so you feel like part of the fam!

Thank you Shane Peacock for your gorgeous dress. Enjoy mai lil behind the scenes video below and do tell me what you think about the overall look!

What is my PrayerBox- on Fox 11 News TONIGHT

Wow oh wow. Before I get into the exciting news for the box, let me explain what it is.

For those of you who have followed my blog, you also know about my beloved Prayer Box I’ve placed at the steepest tip top of Runyon Canyon, a beautiful hillside hike here in Hollywood, California. I first had the vision for this box 2 years ago after an overwhelming sense of gratitude for each day that I’ve taken to hike to the top to pray and “reset” for the day ahead. I wondered if every other person who takes the time to hike these two tall mountains felt the same way after reaching the top… knowing that no matter how hard it feels, how badly you don’t feel like doing it, if you believe and put your best foot forward, you WILL.

Finally, my wonderful hubz made the first box and although it had some mysterious encounters, it had been there for almost a year as it filled up each day with prayers stuffed inside. There were so many prayers that I had to assign friends (thank you Grace and Eliot!) to come every other day if I was away to fill it with more paper and bring some prayers down to friends who can’t make it to the top. Anyone is always invited to send me prayers that I’ll take to the top, with a promise to have one from the box sent back from me. My dear friend Jaeson Mah also created an incredible movie that features the box in his documentary 1040, that features the prayer box. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to receive regular prayers from all over the world, my first from Ghana last week, different languages like Korean, Spanish, and even Hebrew- I even received a prayer from a 6 year old girl named Janie from Ohio who just started writing cursive!


Anyway, it came time that the box needed to be upgraded. In came the answer to my own prayer, Stavros, my dear friend who became the carpenter to bring the PrayerBox 2.0 to life. With prayers of patience and working hours into the night, the box was made, brought to Clairefoster who kicked in the dopest art skillz over the box, and bam. Here’s a pic him and  PB 2.o, once it was brought to the top. 

Instructions are simple: Leave a prayer, take a prayer.

It’s been only a month that the box has been up and already it’s filling up again. Prayers of hope, peace, individual prayers for loved ones who are hurt, broken, or just in need of love. It’s incredible. So just recently, a fan of the box and brilliant writer/reporter/world traveler/foodie David Fleming, contacted me to cover a story about the box on Fox 11 News. I accepted, more than anything to share my faith that prayer is hope in action, and to encourage everyone to Pray it Forward. The PrayerBox story will air TONIGHT 5/25 10PM on Fox 11 News, and TOMORROW 5/26 morning.

I just realized I look like I’m rapping in this picture.

Anyway enjoy the story tonight, please do make it out to the box if you’re here in LA, or email me at jmail@iheartjeanniemai.com to get your prayers to the top. (Include mailing address if you’d like a prayer sent back.)

As a community together, we each can keep each other lifted in faith and love. Heart you guys. So freakin much :)

Sensational Swimsuit Trends for 2010


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 :)

I get to play “Popo” to Fashion on E!

Fashion Police Me on Rumer I usually shy away from being considered as any popo to anything. Maybe it’s because I’m tarnished with memories of cops being kill-joys to parties just when they’re getting good. But when E! invited me to be a guest “popo” for some time to dish deets on Celeb fashion, I thought it might be kinda fun since I love E!. Plus hellooo.. I’m a “guest” and all.

K, fine. I’m such a sucker.

Join in on my stylish statements for the next few weeks here , kickstarting with Rumer Willis.

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

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 :)
