Moschino Beaded T-Strap

I love this sandal! Moschino black beaded t-strap with an intricate medallion design in the center. Adjustable ankle strap with buckle, red sole, and 4". On sale at Nordstroms, $799.90 (previously $1195). Note: Whole sizes only. If you're a half size, round up.

New Year's Eve Bootie

I normally wouldn't wear booties as "cutesy" as these but New Year's Eve is coming up and these would be the perfect compliment to the "Janelle Monet-ish" suit I'm contemplating wearing. 

Called the "Dobson" Booties from Harajuku Lovers, these are tuxedo-inspired booties made of patent leather with a  black and white bow tie and button accents. 2009 has been the year of the "peep toe" and these booties are no exception. Heel height is approximately 4". $89.95 (Nordstroms)

Vertical Tote

Oh how I've missed doing fashion posts! Check out this "Devon" Vertical Tote by Michele. This is an extra large tote with slanted zippers down the front, soft leather, and slender profile. Also has adjustable shoulder straps, hidden magnetic closures, and cell phone pocket. Seen here in black, but it also comes in khaki (personal favorite) and cocoa brown. $545 (Nordstroms)

That Nicki Minaj Girl

So I haven't really been a Nicki Minaj fan. I feel like her sound and look is totally contrived. When she first came out she was trying to sound like Foxy and now that she's signed to Young Money she sounds like Wayne. Homegirl switches it up so much she doesn't really seem to have her own identity. And that whole "harajuku barbie" sh*t works my nerves. The robotic sh*t and her stage performance annoys the hell outta me. All that said, I got bored over winter break and decided to download one of her mixtapes......and I'm ashamed to say it but I was kinda diggin it. I don't know if I've been totally converted into a Nicki Minaj fan but I'm now at least 80% receptive to her. I'll listen to to her stuff. On that note, I decided to post a random track off the mixtape; however, I just realized that the site that I use to upload music to the blog is down. I'm going to have to find an alternative. Hopefully I'll be able to post music soon and repost all the tracks that I posted before .

Sidenote: I'm really curious to know what the 22-30 year old crowd thinks of Nicki. Not these lil' kids who actually watch BET, but the older folks who grew up listening to Kim's "Crush on You" and Foxy's "Gotta Get You Home With Me Tonight." What do they think?

I Lied....I'm Sorry

About a month ago I lied to you all. Said I was coming back. I got caught up in other things . But for real....for real.....starting TODAY. I will do at least 2 blog posts a day. I miss blogging. I've been keeping my eye out on my competition...not digging the pics, writing style, topics, etc. I gotta come back and give the fashion, gossip, music, and my two-cents. No more excuses. I've been gone too long....

Are you Ready for a Comeback?

So I previously claimed that I would restart this blog and then I totally forgot. Between school full-time and three jobs I wasn't able to do a single entry in the last three months. Starting TODAY I'm going to start doing posts again and try to do at least 2 or 3 a day (with at least one music post included in that). I might even change the background too to make a full revitalization of Panache-n-Posh....but I think I'll stick with the urban music/celebrity news/fashion format but also sprinkle in some personal posts and issues that I think are important. I know I've probably lost some daily readers but I hope to bring them back and also gain some new ones! Feel free to add me on facebook and follow me on Twitter too!

Get ready for my comeback.....
