Looking forward to Summer...already - SATC 2 sneak-peek

Ladies, there honestly is no excuse for my disappearing act but I've been unusually busy with auditions, bookings, and interviews this month. I will also share with you that I've been a little out of sorts...down and out...uninspired with the season's change to Fall. You would think that because I am into fashion I would love the Autumn/Winter season but it's hardly the case...

PLEASE, don't get me wrong, though...I do love the idea of layering, wrapping, and wearing rugged boots...oh, and did I mention layering? - But, I guess the weather just gets me down. After all, I am a SUMMER baby...hehehe. Speaking of summer, next year I am sure we all are anticipating the sequel to Sex and the City!! I know I am and to top it off (one of my excuses for my absence) I had the honor of being apart of this movie and shoot a scene at an undisclosed location where we had to look spark-tacular!!!

I didn't ask but these young ladies look familar to me...like I may of seen them on ANTM, maybe? Do you recognize any of them?

Saucy!



Okay, the shoulder pads on this jacket is SIC!! I was amazed at the detail that had to go into making this....although, I will honestly say that the dress on this particular girl didn't work - her shape was too boxy and even though this young lady was atleast 6'0"in tall I would of put this on more of a shapely, curvy, tall type....





Yourz truly with Sonya(responsible for the great pics...thanks lady!!) in our spark-tacular frocks for SATC 2.

I really wish I could get into where, who, and what I saw on set but I am not allowed - it's TOP SECRET. ;-) But, I thought it would be nice for you to get a tiny sneak-peek of a part of production. Oh, and ladies you would DIE for what Sarah Jessica Parker had on in the scene I shot with them!!! I HAVE to recreate the look....so off-beat, but festive, sexy, and flirty!

Can't wait for the movie to come out for the fashion but not only that, I just might make the cutting room floor and be featured in the movie! Let's keep our fingers crossed and in the mean time I'm gonna layer-up in this cold weather! LOL

in LOVE,
Lady Yvette

Inspiration of the Day: Giorgio Armani Fall/Winter 09/10 Ad Campaign

Models: Raquel Zimmermann & Sean Opry
Photography: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

****Was at the airport flipping through the pages of the lastest VOGUE and I discovered this masterpiece of fashion imagery. It's so SHARP, ON POINT, EDGY, and WELL EXECUTED as an campaign. This is one of many this season that I give two thumbs up!! And Raquel is FIERCE!!! She reminds me of myself....;-)

REPORTING TO ALL SHOE LOVERS...REPORT SIGNATURE is the answer!

Okay, those of us women who LOVE shoes, I am
betting you are thinking, "hmmmmm, what shoes should I get now...." Well, Mz. Lady Yvette is...and I want them ALL!!! Have you seen the Jimmy Choo for H&M(see pic above)? Or those Balmain Studded Crystal sandals? What about those thigh-high Gucci boots out for Fall? Whew...I could go on but I have to be honest here because, there is no way in Gods name I can afford these HOTT to def shoes, boots or sandals...HONESTLY! And if I could, you would see a pick of me rockin' them fo' sure!...LOL (For the record, though...the Jimmy Choo's for H&M will run about $99 to $299 - pretty reasonable!)


Well, to satisfy that urge immediately (since those Choos won't be out for another four months) I would like to suggest Report Signature for the sassy and daring! Which you all have to be if you LOVE shoes!! I happen to discover and fall in LOVE with Report Signatures back in November! I think I was going through either ELLE or LUCKY magazine and came across them(I may be wrong about the month but it was definitely a while back). I have yet to own a pair but I am just about to order a pair very soon(I will be sure to post what I buy). These shoes are very affordable, chic, sexy, glamorous, and right on trend! Plus, you will find all kinds of celebs rocking them...but I could careless about that because I wear what I like and just because a celebrity is rockin' them does NOT dictate what Mz. Lady Yvette wears!!...Can I get an "Amen"!!!

Anywho, mi ladies you should go to either their official website or check out SHOPSTYLE for a great selection of Report Signature shoes, sandals and boots!!

LOUIS VUITTON'S FALL 09 AD CAMPAIGN

Honestly, I am not sure how I feel about the Fall 09 Louis Vuitton Campaign featuring the Material Girl, MADONNA. It's not Steven Meisel's best I must say, though. And I think it's over done with this overexposed technique they use called solarization. Real talk, WHO came up with this concept??? I'd love to sit down with them and find out why they went this direction with the campaign.

I stare at it and it doesn't speak to me...I love the mood and color tones (purple speaks Fall 09...purple is my favorite color...purple is the color of royalty) but the post is too distorted...and why is Madonna modeling...how old is she, again? Well, I guess I can't talk but this is a bit much. Wouldn't you agree or tell me, are you feeling this??...But, what do I know because when it's all said and done it's ALL about sales...and last season (S/S 09 - the collection was SUPERB!!) they sold out within a few months according to Antoine Arnault, LV's communication director. Madonna does have that affect and I don't knock it, after all...




Marc Jacobs for LV is doing a WONDERFUL job interpreting this season's fall trends but I still do not feel it shows through in this campaign because let me tell you...you ain't seen nothing' yet until you've seen this fall's thigh-hi boots that are in trend this fall!

in LOVE,
Lady Yvette
