J-Hud at The Superbowl

thegoodlifelookbook — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:24:44 +0000

I was about to call it a night after watching the Super Bowl XLIII.

But I just couldn’t do it!

Had to share my thoughts on Jennifer Hudson’s performance — and ensemble.

In addition to starting the game on a high note, she also rocked an outfit, which I think was just fitting for the occasion.

And the fit was flattering to her figure.

Let’s not forget the accessories, which weren’t over the top or inadequate.

Everything was just right!

Yaayyy, J-Hud (and your stylist)!

Watch the performance (and see what she wore!).

The Truth About Heidi Klum

thegoodlifelookbook — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:29:10 +0000

Heidi Klum’s a pretty busy woman.

But the mom/wife/TV show host/model is still finding time to do other worthwhile stuff.

This time around, she’s penciling Diet Coke in her busy schedule.

For the second year in a row, the beverage makers have chosen Heidi Klum as their heart health ambassador in support of The Heart Truth campaign.

It’s a national effort sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to educate women about the risks of heart disease.

In true Klum fashion, the campaign will include Diet Coke’s sponsorship of The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection fashion show on February 13 at Fashion Week 2009.

You’ll also see lots of ads starring the supermodel as she takes on the dual role of jewelry designer and model.

According to a statement released today, she has created a Diet Coke Red Dress Charm, inspired by the Red Dress symbol.

It’s encrusted in rubies and diamonds and “shaped like an hourglass to remind women it is time to get educated about heart disease.”

Best and Worst of Inaugural Fashion

I chose to travel during Inauguration and was able to do limited blogging during the festivities.

So after all this time, I’m only now catching up on what the blogosphere had to say about inaugural fashion.

The Fug Girls’ commentary–on who wore what and how–definitely brought a smile to my face.

I think you’ll love it, too!

DVF and AMEX Team Up

thegoodlifelookbook — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:57:19 +0000

Now this is what I call an exciting partnership!

And it’s a great opportunity if you’re an American Express Cardmember.

The global payments company is partnering with acclaimed fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Together, they’ll present a unique runway show for Cardmembers on Wednesday, February 18 at 9:00 PM during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Apparently, the designer is taking a new, never-been-done before approach to the runway and creating an opportunity for Cardmembers to experience a multi-season selection of her sought-after designs.

Want another reason to be excited?!

It’s hosted by André Leon Talley, editor-at-large for Vogue magazine.

Those attending the event will have access to the coveted floor seats under the tents to view designs inspired by von Furstenberg’s Spring/Summer 2009 ‘Rock Goddess’ Collection and a special look at some of her Fall 2009 Collection shown only to industry insiders just days before. (Suh-weeet!)

Invitations to this memorable event are on sale. Just four per Cardmember, though; don’t get carried away.

What Happened to The Versace Mansion?!

thegoodlifelookbook — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:50:41 +0000

The property formerly known as the Versace mansion has been converted into a hotel.

The former home of Gianni Versace, who was shot dead on the property in 1997, has been rebranded Casa Casuarina.

Located in the heart of Miami Beach, it will also double as a restaurant and event venue.

Check out the Mediterranean-styled estate, still beckoning the privileged few.

Btw, it’s still open for tours at $65 per person, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
