Hot 9-7 everyday thats my word!

So Hot 97's Summer Jam tickets have been on sale for a cool 25 minutes and I'm sure there near sold out. The line up was official announced yesterday by Angie Martinez and now I'm hearing not but hate from New Yorkers.

Dipset, D-Block, G-Unit, The Roc will all be not making an appearance but amongst those whole will be there are Akon, Swizz Beatz, Keyshia Cole, DIDDY (my baby fatha if you ain't no!) T-Pain, Weezy, and some others. Hot97.com has the official line up and details.

I think Weezy is gonna be a problem as will Swizzy, I mean everyone is rocking to "It's Me Bitches" and the remix is a real problem!! After the show in June I'll let you know all the details.

OTHER BIG NEWS: My magazine, Lavish, has now been renamed, IKON. No it is not a homage to Akon, Icon is just to simple & its a quick shout to my mom, Kim. We had some trouble with another up and coming magazine named Lavish who hadn't put out an issue but found a loop hole with a "on-line magazine." Either way 1st issue will be on stands this summer so check in for more information.

Lavish Magazine

So it's offical my magazine will go into print and be on newstands by mid July to early August.

Lavish Magazine is an urban fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment magazine bringing only the best to you. Our first issue is going to be celebrity and fashion packed so make sure you look back for more information.

Soon we will be selling subscriptions and posting information to the offical sites and the offical launch party. I am so excited to finally be doing this, I've been dreaming of doing a magazine for ever and then I decided I don't care how much I'm already doing I want to do it!

Sidekick i-D - "a summer of 2007" must have!

This Weds 4/25, T-mobile will release the Sidekick i-D. The i-D was made for people who want quick access to communication, the phone does not include a camera but has T-mobile's "My fave 5" ablities. The phone is reasonably priced for only $99 with a new contract and what makes this phone even cooler (& a total must have for celebrities and it people) is the fact you can change the color of the i-D all the time using the face plates.

Sidekick.com has an overview of all the features the i-D has to offer. I will definitely be coping mine this Weds so I can be super addicted to the internet with my blackberry and my new i-D.

Another item deamed "a summer of 2007" must have is the Juicy Couture enamel bangles. There $68 each at Bloomingdale's and come in a variety of colors.

Now I'm off to pull clothing for a shoot I'm styling this weekend and to shop my little heart out!

So Mariah's on repeat on my iPod

After a long Sunday, here I am, listening to Mariah on my ipod and really rethinking every decision I've made in the last like 6 months. I know I have always been the poster child for living with no regrets but I don't know anymore.

Well I'm in a "relationship" that's been on and off forever. This person is currently seeking refuge from the world & his world in my house. I can't even be mad or kick him out because I've ran to him for a lot of things that he fixed but I feel the love isn't there anymore. I think its partially because I'm only 18 and I want so much more from life than I've already been giving. He's older and is comfortable in his life. How do I just let him go, actually he won't just go, he thinks it isn't what I really want. Is it?

On the other end of things I used to deal with an "industry" dude who was on the come up but that was never why I liked him. He wasn't the type of guy I'm usually seen with but something about him I really liked. Recently, it's been all over the web you put the clues together, he was bagged on some charges and is now serving like a year I think. Ever since the last time I was with him he is all I can even think about, now my debate is do I go see him in jail and see where his head is at or do I just forget about him for now until he's out?

BUDGET- it's a word I don't know but I think I may need to learn. I am not broke but I am not a Trump either. Living on my own has been such a reality check, I find myself complaining about things my mom used to complain about, lights left on towels on the floor, etc. At the end of the day I had to leave home and be on my own to really grow up and find out who and what I want to do. My jacuzzi bathtub has become my private spot with candles around it where I lay, dream, and bath. It's definitely not the Sex in the City type of lifestyle I hoped it would be but it's only the beginning.

My head is filled with so much right now, I really need to be single maybe. I am never single but maybe its just what I need.

Eeer Happy 420 ?!?!

Let me say I think today is the dumbest "holiday" known to man, the best: December 28th *My Birthday*

I just wanted to let everyone know about Royal T by Amber Marion's next show. I've teamed up with Nolcha.Com (again!! they are amazing, join their site!!) for "Vogue & Vouyerism" on May 2nd at Pre Post on W 27th st. I will update with more info or the official invite but I want to see everyone their!!!

the journey begins....

First off let me make one statement clear: I AM NOT CLAIMING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT FASHION, DESIGN, AND STYLING NOR AM I CLAIMING TO BE THE BIGGEST FASHION DESIGNER/STYLIST EVER TO HIT THE STREETS.

With that said, I can now move on.
Why did I start this blog? As if the 900 things I already do on a daily basis aren't enough I want to let people into my life, my real life. Everything from auditions and castings I attend, to magazine shoots and dealing with press, and my ever so rising career. Every once in a while I'll mention must haves and what I think is hot. This is my first step before the creation of my print magazine.

Who am I? My name is Amber Marion, I am a designer and a stylist. I've created the line Royal T by Amber Marion, www.royaltbyambermarion.com, and I've had much success with it but I am striving for more. I've shown collections during fashion week in NYC, LA, Miami, and London, besides doing tons of shows in venues around the tri-state area. With the success of my line I noticed how much I trully love fashion in general so I took on another task, stylist. Now I have tons of photoshoots under my belt, music videos, and other events I am looking to expand even more and begin an image consulting company. As if that isn't enough I decided to do something about my life long passion for English and literature so I began my career as a freelance writer. I've written for dozens of urban publications including Vibe Vixen, Spanglish Magazine, T-mobile (Dwade SK3 release), and a daily blind item on another popular blog. And as of today I am doing all of that plus so much more.

What I am up to now? I've just moved out on my own and I am getting into to so much more. With all blessings hopfully later this year I will be opening my boutique in North New Jersey, it will be a collection of high end designers and lesser known indie designers. On top of that I am looking into funding to start my own print magazine, a collection of urban culture from fashion to music to lifestyle. I am designing my collection for fashion week in September as well as styling dozens of shoots.

Tune in everyday to hear stories from the inside, news, gossip, what I'm up too, and all that good stuff!
