Finally Feeling Gaga

So I know I'm super late....but I'm finally feeling this Lady Gaga chick. Admittedly, it took me awhile. I'm not too into gimmicks and her "flare" for fashion was really turning me off. Lil too crazy for me. But I gotta respect her for being different. I encourage you to peep some youtube videos of her before she was "Lady Gaga" and she was just a girl in music school singing with her piano. Sooo different from how she is now. But I still dig her present pop-style of music. She definitely is talented. Peep her cover for 944 mag. Nice!

Love Can Wait: First Lesson

I've never been one to search for love. I've spent much of my teenage years and early 20s single. Neither happily or unhappily single. Just single. Just waiting for the right guy to come along, at the right time, the right place. Never actively searching. Just waiting.

I had a relationship with a guy that lasted way too long and was filled with heartache and pain. I realize now that that wasn't a true relationship at all. There was no commitment, no romance, no love. But being young and foolish I endured it thinking that the relationship would get better and grow. It didn't. It ended badly and subsequent events made the break-up even worse. However, the worst thing about the "relationship" was in the struggle to love someone else and give my all to him...I stopped loving myself. My life fell apart and I literally had no self-identity. Losing him made me feel like I lost my entire world. I realize now, that I had actually lost myself.

After that, I got my life back on track. Although I still felt lost and lonely, I was now focused on doing what was best for myself. I wanted to date and have a boyfriend, but I became so absorbed in myself that I became indifferent to the fact that I was single. That was a good thing. I achieved so much in a short period of time, merely by focusing on myself. Putting myself first. I became the number one priority--not him. It was my first lesson in my now personal maxim "love can wait."

Emma Watson for Burberry

Check out Emma Watson in the new Burberry ad campaign. She looks so good! Definitely model material. I love the purple coat in the second pic. The third pic is my favorite: (a) the bags (esp. the one she's holding) are definitely ones I want in my closet, and (b) the male model is making me laugh hysterically! He's really trying to serve us the fierceness isn't he? The last pic I was hesitant to even put up here because I was uncertain if it was really her. She's come a long way from being the little homely girl in Harry Potter!

 

 

 

Sexy Zebra Pump

Not too into animal print but I like these zebra print "Trinity" pump from Dolce Vita. Zebra-printed faux calf hair, round-toe, skinny stacked heel and hidden platform. Height is 4.5" including a 3/4" platform. $199.95 (Nordstroms).

Kim Kardashian's New Fragrance

Peep the ad for Kim Kardashian's new perfume. I'll definitely go and test it out. Interesting that Beyoncé is coming out with a fragrance too. I'll have to smell that as well. How many celebs have come out with perfumes? Britney Spears, Mariah, Usher, Diddy....nowadays everyone comes out with a perfume or clothing line. Surprised Rihanna hasn't done something yet. Anyways, if you read this blog you know how I feel about fragrances. Personal favs: Bvlgari and Stella by Stella McCartney

The Purpose of This is What?

I really don't understand stuff like this. These are fingerless gloves from UGG and the description posted was the following: "slick fingerless gloves feature light insulation for added warmth." Really? I doubt. The whole purpose of gloves to me is to keep my fingers warm.....what are these supposed to do? Somebody clue me in. Thanks. If you want these "palm/wrist warmers" you can get them at Nordstrom for $45 (sheesh! waste of money).

Tiffany Evans: Girlie Can Sing!

Peep this video of Tiffany Evans singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." She's REALLY good.

Miss Marc Watch

I absolutely love Marc Jacobs jewelry! I did a post before with some of his watches and he has this cute little character called "Miss Marc" aka "Marci." Check out this stainless steel watch (which also comes in white), $150 (Nordstroms).

Red Leather Shopper

I like this! It's a Dolce & Gabbana "Miss Heather" leather shopper with cute ruffles in the front. That paired with the red color will really make this bag stand out. Plus it's a medium/large bag (which can hold a decent amount of stuff), durable handles, interior zip pockets, cell phone pocket, and metal feet. The only drawback is that there is no magnetic closure or zipper (so beware). $1450 (ouch)

Sade Promo Video

Yassss! Check out this promotion video for Sade's upcoming release February 8th! I. Can't. Wait.

Sequined Clutch

Not too into sequined pieces but these clutches are kinda cute. Just enough sequins to make an outfit standout. By Marciano, these sequined frame clutches have a magnetic snap closure and an optional chain shoulder strap. Comes in a silver pattern, gold pattern, and black. $150.

Top 9 R&B Albums of 2009

So I really like R&B so I decided to list my top 9 R&B albums of 2009. I know most of you will disagree with me but I don't really care. This is mostly based on the albums that were on heavy rotation on my iPod. Now I haven't listened to the new albums from Mary J. Blige nor Alicia Keys so don't send me any hate mail. Also, I really didn't count Rihanna as an "R&B" album and Beyonce's album came out in 2008. Also Keri Hilson and Ciara have been omitted because I personally don't care for either of them. So here's what I got:

9. LeToya "Lady Love,"
8. Robin Thicke "Sex Therapy"
7. Electrik Red "How to be a Lady Volume 1"
6. Amerie "In Love and War
5. Chrisette Michele "Epiphany"
4. Jeremih "Jeremih"
3. Dream "Love vs. Money"
2. Trey Songz "Ready"
1. Mariah Carey "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel"

P-N-P's Person of 2009

Drumroll please.....Panache-N-Posh's person of the year for 2009 goes to......Amber Rose! I've had a love/hate relationship with her for most of 2009, but she's been my favorite person to post on all year. In her honor, I will re-post my top 3 Amber Rose posts. I love this bish!

Actually I'm too lazy to repost stuff. Just click on the "Amber Rose" link on the right side to peep all the past Amber Rose posts.  

Umm No. That Should Have Been a No-Go JLo!

Who is this woman's stylist? This is not the way to bring in the New Year! Jennifer Lopez wore this cat-suit for her New Years' Eve performance in New York City. This is simple dreadful. What in the world happened to her body? Her booty looks deflated. 'Tis a shame. I'm hoping that this was just an ill-fitting body suit.

Random: Am I the only one who thinks that all her new music material stinks? 

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Okay. That is all.
