Look of the Day The Obama's


Never have I ever been so proud to who my president is. And when I mention his name,his co pilot Michelle can not go unmentioned. This lady has brought serious glamour to the White House and has been the subject of conversations since before inauguration. As of late, one designer in particular has had some negative comments about Mrs.O. Oscar De La Renta has publicly criticised her for wearing the late Alexander McQueen's gown to the China State Dinner this past Wednesday. This criticism comes from the fact that this dress is very similar to one of his designs that was in Fall 2010 show. Also the fact that McQueen was neither an American or Chinese designer. Yada Yada Yada... Either way the comments were not necessary and I don't love her any less! She sizzles in this dress with both sexiness and class. None of this is to take away from the fabulousness that is our president! He too looked just as hot! Love these two and in my opinion,nothing comes close! SUPA FIERCE!

Golden Globes Red Carpet 2011














The first award show of the year kicked off tonight and it was dazzeling! The weather in LA was nice and warm and the celebrities matched the climate. Lots and I mean lots of nude colored gowns graced the runway from everyone to Nicole Kidman, Megan Fox, Carrie Underwood and Glee star Heather Morris. It was clearly the color of the night as was black. So,much to my delight,I was very happy to see pops of color from Angelina Jolie in a Fab deep green Versace gown as well as MY favorite of the night Olivia Wilde in Marchesa and another Glee favorite Amber Riley. As usual Halle Berry made jaws drop times 10 in her sexy Nina Ricci piece that just makes me sick. Eva Longoria wore Zac Posen and looked hot and newly single. Sofia Vergara redeemed herself after several past red carpet fails in a fushia Vera Wang or "Wong" as she pronounced it all night. lol There were a few let downs in the way of the ever talented Natalie Portman and a favorite of mine Sandra Bullock. I liked the new bangs on her though. One who didnt let me down however is Anne Hathaway who wore one of her favorites Giorgio Armani Prive'. Check out the photos of those who made the Fierce cut!

If Money were NO Object


In my quest to get my mind blown from the feet up,I stumbled upon this seriously FIERCE Gucci bootie. This suede fringed bootie is called to Akerman and will set you back a cool $1190.00 smackers! This is a neutral color that can work in lots of ways as a wow factor. I see this with some silk jodphur style pants in a chocolate brown with a a taupe colored blouse with a big floppy bow on the shoulder. That's just me though!

Rayven Symone Look of the Day


By now you have seen this picture of the "new" Rayven Symone minus about hey I dont know about 20 pounds. She hit the red carpet for the Peoples Choice Awards and wow'd the crowd with a new physique. She has always been a beautiful,positve role model for young girls but this should inspire healthy fitness as well. She has went on record as saying that since loosing the weight,she still wears over sized cloths because everyone is so taken aback by her weight lose. Well Ray Ray,you should be proud to flaunt this new hot body any and everywhere you see fit. I'm sure she worked hard for it.This multi millionaire mogul has channeled her business savy smarts into getting right in the waistline area. This too should serve as motivation to keep up your weight loss goals.

William Rast for Target








So Target is currently carrying William Rast for a limited time. If you don't know the designers behind this fresh label,one may ring a bell Justin Timberlake. He along with Trace Ayala put their heads together to come up with this bohemian/rocker chick line back in 2005. Originally it started as a denim line but quickly evolved to include both women and menswear. Starting at LA Fashion Week,they have since graced the runways of NY Fashion Week and attracted a nice following.
Now debuting at Target,the line is full of cool,relaxed tomboy looks that are both trendy and fashionable all within a comfortable price range. I picked out some of my favorite looks like the fringed leather jacket and the high waist,plaid top dress. Oxfords go really well with alot of this lines looks. The line debuted on Dec 19th and will be available til Jan 22nd so check em out. Online is probably your best bet for availability. Very nice Tar'get,very nice!

The Evolution of...Jennifer Hudson











When J Hud came on the scene via American Idol she was looked at as a sure fire winner hands down. When the powers that be decided otherwise,we all rooted for her when she blew our minds in Dreamgirls. One thing that always could be said, was the fact that she was the face of real women around the way. She had real curves,a very down to earth personality and cute as a button.
As we view her evolution, we can see that things started a little choppy in the way of ill fitted dresses and bad hair. Then once the nominations start coming in,things got good, real good!! She lost some weight,had a baby,got a new man and things were looking up. Tragedy struck and we all know that story. Any who,what I wanna focus on is, what we think when we hear her name today....WOW! This girl has lost major weight,looks better than ever and can put a majority of America to straight shame right now.Let this serve as motivation to all who have resolved to lose a few this year. Things had a bumpy start but boy is she on a roll now...lets take a trip down memory lane shall we!

New Year New You!

With the turning of a new year comes a time to resolve to turn over new leaves,drop bad habits and make this year better than the last. Also with a new year,you should resolve to be the best version of yourself in all aspects. I am a strong believer of when you look better you feel better. Not everyone is blessed with a model like figure but that doesn't mean that we can feel just as FIERCE. In taking steps to look your best, keep in mind that what works for someone else doesn't work for all. We cant all rock EVERY trend that hits the runway. Find one that works for you at a time,and keep everything else classic.
If your into the biker trend, rock just the jacket and keep everything else classic. If you love the military trend, rock the combat boots with the cargo's and keep everything else minimal. When rocking an animal print,simplicity is key. Say this with me: One at a time! That means,just the shoes,just the purse,just the dress or cardigan. Just don't deck yourself out head to toe in a consistent print. It screams "look at me" as opposed to grabbing all the attention by doing it the right way.
When considering how much to spend on what,invest in classics and penny pinch on trends. They come and go but classics will always work,thus is where the most money should be sent. With the way of the world,one cant fathom spending upwards of 300.00 on boots,jeans a sweater or coat. However,when looking at the variety of ways it will last,not to mention durability,it makes sense actually.
I know that my blog normally contains pictures but this time I just wanted to hit you with a little knowledge to start your new year off on a FIERCE foot. I hope that this advise helps and I look forward to seeing all my FAB ladies looking as shiny as brand new 2011 penny! Stay Fierce gals!
