When I first heard that H&M was having a more upscale co-brand they call it “The new fashion brand that puts the haute in high street” but I call it “chic-ness for cheapness!”…But then I saw the pictures and these clothes look a lot like Banana Republic to me, or even a Club Monaco. What’s the deal?

H&M says “COS is the new fashion concept that’s set to land in London’s shopping
heartland, with a sleek William Russell designed Regent Street flagship, due to
open its pristine doors on 16 March. COS is the progeny of H&M that merges high
fashion attributes (meticulous fabrics finish and fit) with ground level
pricing; creating inspirational design that’s financially accessible. “

I think COS will do well with the khaki happy crowd that already shops at Gap, J. Crew and Banana Republic.

Soul Train Awards was Blasé.

The Annual Soul Train Music Awards took place this Saturday the 10th of March, without much of the fan fare and satr studded-ness as other awards shows. It really got me asking myself “Ok, where was the soul?” Most of the nominees were absent!!

The big question for me was, where were the A list stars? What’s the deal if a show that’s giving away awards can’t attract people who love awards? Beyonce, Mary J Bildge, and Jamie Fox were all winners and all were also absent.

Any who, I do fashion, so here’s my pick of some of the nights “better” dressed, the others just looked like they’re going to have dinner at their grandmas, seriously.

Jennifer Hudson, who collected the award for Entertainer of the Year, looked more relaxed than glamorous in this black and white two-toned dress. What’s up with her hairline? Is she wearing a weave, her head looks a little funny? OK dress though.

Tia Morwy…remember that kid from ‘Sister Sister’? Well she’s all grown up and even has a new show (minus her twin sister) on the new CW called The Game?. I think its a plot to get me to watch more TV because next to Girlfriends on Monday nights I have to watch it because the story of the young naïve Pro footballer and Med Student couple is so sweet and funny!

Omarosa …come on now, who knew 15minutes could last this long?

Letoya, who co-hosted the show was probably the reason why Beyonce was a MIA ( Letoya was a part of the first Destiny’s Child).

I usually love Chloe’s fashion shows, and the clothes. Here is a case where I like neither. The only thing I really liked were the handbags. I don’t know I’m just not feeling the rebellious upper crust look. I think the dresses are too embellished with glasses and the punchy oranges are just not my speed, except as an accessory. Anyways, I wait to see how people where it on the streets, I might like it then. I really miss the flirty lil dresses and blouses they had. Like time changes, so does fashion. Whatever, there’s always going to be next season and thrift shops.
