I haven’t had my nails done in about a month, and they look a mess. I want an amazing color to put on them, and I know some of my readers have been waiting for this post, so here it is: Shantee’s Winter Nail Trends, featuring some of your fave celeb fashionistas!
- Alicia: The singer hosted the 5th Annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball in N.Y.C. as she shined in her metallic Armani dress and fitted blazer.
- Sanaa: This blue Alberta Ferretti dress looks great against Sanaa’s skin. She topped off her cute ensemble with a layered statement necklace.
- Selita: The Victoria’s Secret supermodel presented two fab looks this week. She first wore a frosted brown Gianfranco Ferré gown with an asymmetrical wrap to the ACE Awards, and then a silver gown with black overlay and detailed beaded necking to the 2008 Glamour Women of the Year Awards.
Hey Lovies,
I’ve decided to expand F101 to host its own social network. Some of you may not know what a social network is, so I’ll explain. On a social network, you - the reader, can contribute and be much more active with the site. You can host your own blogs there, chat, create and participate in forum discussions, view photos and videos, listen to music, and showcase yourself, all while staying entertained with the latest. Fashionista101.com will still be the main page and site that will host all the stuff you love to see.
So, to wrap this up, I hope you all enjoy the network and continue supporting Fashionista101.com!

* So, I’ve chosen my fave looks from last week’s star-studded events. It’s obvious that I pretty much like them all, but I wanna see how you all feel.
Kerry - She was spotted last week @ an NYC fashion event, wearing a black Marchesa Resort 2009 gown, with jeweled embellishments. She was def one of the best out the bunch!
Solange - Solo looks super-cute in this belted 3.1 Phillip Lim mini-dress, and Miu Miu Dragonfly sandals. I love her hair, and she no doubt wore this better than the last few.
Ciara - Receiving Billboard Mag’s “Woman of the Year” award, Ci posed for the cameras in what I feel is an amazing business-fashionable ensemble! She wore a fitted white blazer, crisp black bustier dress, and a fab pair of Balenciaga’s Escarpin booties, straight from Balenciaga’s Fall 2008 line. She too, wore this better than her competition.
* Love those boots in the 1st pic!
So, again, it seems Miss Meagan Good is up to no good! She’s already been admitted into my *Style Rehab* clinic, once before, which was obviously not enough. Don’t get me wrong – every woman has her favorite pumps, flats, top, bag, whatever. But, Meagan has gone overboard. She’s been acting since way before her pre-teen years, and dates NFL player, Thomas Jones. So, my whole thing is: when you’re a celebrity, with celebrity money, and a celebrity man — why should you leave your home this way?!
In this edition of *Style Rehab*, peep Meagan’s favorite strappy Jimmy Choo gladiator sandals, Leopard YSL Tribute Heels, black latex leggings, leather jacket, black spikey hoop earrings, gold plate belt, and double chain anklet. She also has a mild obsession for her black denim Louis Vuitton bag — but we won’t go there!
* My last thought: It’s sad that I still look at Meagan as a fabulous individual. I love her! So, I’ll create an excuse on her behalf –> Okay, so she’s dating T. Jones, right? Well, maybe she and all their friends got together for a game of Chinese Checkers — Miss Goodie winds up losing — and the bet was for her to O.D. on the same outfit, or close to it, for the rest of ‘08. Yeah! That’s it! Duhh. Well, it’s obvious that Meagan’s a good sport, because she still manages to put on a smile! Go TEAM GOOD !
Ashanti celebrated her bday bash on Monday night, at Area Nightclub, in West Hollywood, CA. Tons of celebs (mostly D-Z listers) came out to be a part of the festivities, which was surprising because I didn’t see anyone there, except for Tamala Jones and Meagan Good, that would be friends of hers. Anywho — she wore a pink and black Marchesa dress, with a pair of black suede pumps, which are so classic, and a definite must for this fall’s fashion trends. Keyshia Cole also [apparently] celebrated her bday that night, along with Ashanti, and has worn the same style of Marchesa dress to this year’s BET Awards, back in June, with a pair of black Manolo Blahnik ‘PEPE’ sandals (see below photos).

I didn’t know this until the other day, and I don’t know if it’s a good thing, or bad, but Chanel Iman is the first black model to walk the runways of Gucci, since 2005. It may sound bad, but what’s worst is that British model, Jourdan Dunn, walked for Prada last season, and was the first brown sista in 10yrs!!
Former Gucci designer, Tom Ford, ended his reign in 2005, so maybe it’s the fault of current designer, Frida Giannini, why it has taken so long. And, why only one black model? I know it might not seem like there’s a lot of black models around, but believe me, there are. They just don’t get the same chances.
* So, my question is:
- If you were a black model, and in Chanel or Jourdan’s shoes, would you feel honored to be employed to a company such as Gucci or Prada?

Guess which Brown Sista celeb attended yesterday’s Emporio Armani fashion show, wearing a feathered headband. Clue: This year, she was named the official ambassador of Armani Jeans.
