AWARDS SEASON: NAACP Image Awards

Once the again the NAACP Image Awards have wrapped and we have been wowed by the amazing nominees, winners, and those that came out to support them.

We were also in awe of the stunning fashion and style that graced the red carpet, especially those snatched right from the runway.

Men and women, young and old, blew us all away with their bold colors and dapper, yet snug fitting tuxedos.

The ladies that truly glowed and stood out, ranged from this years' red carpet 'it' girl, actress Lupita N'yongo to the queen of all media, Lady 'O' herself. Yes, Ms. Winfrey gave us life with her tangerine colored gown, big beautiful curls, and flawless makeup.

The noteworthy or shall I say flash worthy men that stepped up and stepped out last night stretched from Hollywood's new 'go to' guy, actor Michael B. Jordon to the handsome and ever so sexy, actor Idris Elba. 

Though the night was filled with laughter and tears there's no doubt the Image Awards was a success both on stage and back stage but the red carpet was where all the glamor fireworks took place.

Though no one knows all of the blood, sweat, and tears that it takes to pull off the perfect outfit, shoes, makeup, and hair for such an awards show, we were sure impressed with the results. This awards season, there have been a lot of hits and misses but the designers have definitely brought out the big guns and have continued to keep us in anticipation of the next red carpet event. And we are most definitely going to hold them to it.

Until next time!

NYFW 2014 WRAP-UP: Go Red for Women

New York Fashion Week has wrapped and the designers, models, celebrities, stylist, and glam squads have all returned to their day to day grind. 

However, the mark that was left on the fashion world the very first evening of NYFW was enormous. The celebrities from the reality world to the sports world lent their hearts, hands, bodies, and checkbooks to the Red Dress show sponsored by the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. 

February is National Heart Disease Awareness month and this Red Dress show definitely delivered on bringing attention to such a great cause.

From 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star NeNe Leakes donning her spicy red Dolce & Gabana dress to the 'Food Network's' Giada DiLaurentis' Carolina Herrera gown, the runway was set ablaze with celebrities showing their support for this very important cause.

The highlight of the night, however, came when gold medalist skier Lindsay Vonn ripped the runway in her sexy Cynthia Rowley dress with her crutches as an accessory. Vonn is still recovering from knee surgery but she proved that she is definitely not letting that keep her down.

The audience, full of heart disease survivors that were also decked out in red evening gowns, made for a night to remember. The support for this cause was a huge way to bring awareness to such a devastating disease effecting women and families across America.

Kudos to the the stars and fashion designers that showed up and showed out for such an important event.
