Minty Report: Proenza Schouler NYFW

  Here are my three favorite looks from Proenza Schouler from their F/W 2013 collection. The pieces were amazing in photographs, I can just imagine how they were in person and how supple these fabrics felt. Including white and black leather, along with tweed boucle jackets. Simply to die for! This collection might not be for everyone, but I personally loved it.

Mint Report: Custo Barcelona NYFW

I must say after working with Custo Barcelona during fashion week back in 2007 I was not familiar with the brand, but since my departure I've kept up with them. This brand might not appeal to everyone but that is what I love about it. Custo never changes what he is known for to fit into a box. It's always different with a mixture of prints, and fabrics. They're pieces from this collection that I absolutely love and feel like the designer in Custo has grown and some I'm not into and that's ok. But what about you...have you ever heard of Custo?

Mint Report: Not So Minty Grammy Looks

By now you've seen all the fantastic grammy looks from last night but have you looked at the fashion don'ts? The sad thing is, I love all these ladies very much, but the fashion choices, not so much. 

• Lets start with Tamia. Beautiful voice and equally beautiful lady, but this grecian turban ensemble is a no go. You are too cute for this Tamia.

•  Grammy Winner Esperanza Spalding is beating the odds and I adore her music, but this look is just wrong.

•  Now Janelle Monae...I have always supported your fashion choices and diversity with the uniform aesthetics, but I did not love this on you. Beautiful girl inside and out but I'm not feeling this look at all.

•  Hey Ashanti! This dress is not very fashion forward. Gorgeous girl, amateur dress. 

Mint Report: Tracy Reese NYFW

I think anyone that knows me personal, knows I am a sucker for Tracy Reese. This past weekend Reese presented a fabulous Fall/Winter 2013 collection. It was filled with various prints, textures, and silhouettes. The materials included leather, lace, knits, faux fur, and tartan prints which will be a hit this fall. 

Now that you know how much I adore this collection, how do you feel about it?

Mint Report: NAACP Awards

Congratulations to R&B/Soul Singer Elle Varner and Miguel. They were nominated for multiple NAACP Awards, which was revealed during a ceremony on Tuesday. I'm super excited for both artist because although they are recognized in the music industry I still believe they are very underrated. The "Refill" Singer Elle Varner is up for three awards, against artist including Alicia Keys, Tamela Mann, Missy Elliott, and Estelle. Miguel has earned two nominations for outstanding music video, and outstanding male artist. He shares these categories with Bruno Mars, Usher, Trey Songs and Lupe Fiasco. Good luck to both Nominees.

Are you familiar with Elle Varner & Miguel? Check them out!
Until next time.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Mint Report: Balmain

Can I just ask you, how sick are these Balmain 5" black & white embroidered ankle booties? 

Spring 2013 Collection by the way!

It also comes in black.

Love, Love, Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mint Report: Stiletto Nails

This summer was filled with new trends. One trend that will be continuing this fall is the Stiletto Nail, also known as dagger or talons nails. Its style is sharpened and tapered to a triangular shape. Celebs including Amber Rose, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Lana Del Rey have been known to sport these lethal looking nails. Some fashionistas love the super sharp pointy shape but I like mine more subtle. What about you, are you feeling them?

Mint Report

The beautiful Angela Simmons was spotted in Los Angeles at the She Cares Foundation's 3rd Annual She Cares Celebrity Basketball game. I could not help but notice her sneakers by Maison Martin Margiela. If you want comfort and style, these cool shoes are the way to go. Check out her skin, radiant!

Mint Report: Roses are Red

Is Red not tennis star Serena Williams' color? She looks amazing! We all know she has a wonderful body underneath it all, that helps garments fall graciously in the right places if you know what I mean. Look at those shoes she wore to the David Letterman Show recently, respectfully by Christian Louboutins from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection. To die for, as Rachel Zoe would say.
