Mommy & Me Dress

In the recent issue of In Touch I saw something so funny. Kris Jenner, mother of Kim Kardashian and the whole Kardashian/Jenner 11 child crew, attended Jillian Barberie's baby shower wearing the same dress Kim had worn at the Sidekick iD launch party back in April. 3 out of the 11 children attended the shower with mom including Kim and her business partner sis Kourtney. Also the younger but beautiful sib Khloe was there. I think all the K's were meant on purpose.

Here's the pics for yourself:

And there is Kim looking beautiful at the LA launch party.

Ron Herman has Disney Couture by Kidada Jones

Like I said, as soon as I find out where you can snag some of your own fairytale pieces by music's biggest heiress turned jewelry designer I would let you know.

RonHerman.com is the spot for your fix. Like I predicted I bought almost everything the site has.

http://ronherman.com/ShopBrands.aspx?CategoryID=638&view=all is the exact link to view Ron Herman's entire inventory of Kidada Jones' stones.

And everything was priced just right, and trust me ladies Ron Herman has the cheapest prices around on the goods and also some exclusives.

Some of my picks & purchases:

As I said the Tinkerbell Bamboo earrings are to cute to live without. At $90 a pair why not have them, Denise Richards has been spotted sporting them every since attending the launch.

And as I promised last night I would have the amazing Castle necklace in my life and I was soo excited when I found it for only $80 at Ron Herman. I can't wait to rock this stuff.

A piece of cake !

This is another post I promised someone I would do. Pastry Sneakers by Run Athletics are the newest kicks on the market for the ladies. Created by Angela and Vanessa Simmons, hip hop heiress' to the Rev Run and Run DMC throne.

I attended the NYC launch party at Ultra back in the beginning of May and I snagged myself a pair, it was only a matter of time since I know 1/2 of the designing duo. A lot of people thought the sneakers were going to be a dud and just some names on another pair of sneakers but with Pastry that is not the case. There hard struggle from coming up with a concept to pitching the idea was documented on the hit show "Run's House" on MTV.

My favorite are these, the "sprinkle" shoe based on Angela's favorite cake to bake, the confetti cake. Lucky for me I got a pair of the "Strawberry shortcake" which have my fav color pink in them!


They're ultra comfy and stylish. And with the wide variety of color schemes, all based on various cakes and patries, they go with everything. I love them and it seems that the ladies of New York are loving them too. But get them quick, the Cake Collection which is the current collection out will be replaced by the fall collection boasting deeper and darker colors.


Happy Ang, I told you sooner or later it would be up here =)

Kidada Jones & Disney Jewelry

I first read about Kidada Jones' line of Disney jewelry, Disney Couture, a little over a year and a half ago in Vibe Vixen. I knew the line was going to be hot because Kidada has style (her daddy is Quincy Jones and sister is actress Rashida Jones) and she's been a fixture on the Hollywood "IT" girl scene for a while.


After the a very long wait the line finally launched with a May 31st bash in Bel Air, Cali.



And no Kidada isn't Nicole Richie's new best friend, pictures of the two of them hand in hand date back to Nicole pre heroin, so it was no suprise Nicole was there supporting Kidada. I love the little castle necklace the two of them are wearing, deifnitely something I need in my life! Once the line is available for sale I will let you know where.

The item I am most looking foward to besides the castle necklace are the Tinkerbell gold door knockers, they are bamboo earrings with Tinkerbell inside and black diamonds on her.

Top 5 must haves for summer in accessories

This summer be the hottest chick on the market. These top 5 accessory picks of mine will have you looking like the baddest. And a piece of advice to all my ladies, go with the real deals, like Rem says "it's official just look at the tag"! These accessories are sure to have you looking more than faboulous this summer.

1. A mean metallic sandal and/ or a cute jelly shoe


Yep, the jellys we all loved when we were 5 are back and going to be smashing the concrete this summer. Marc Jacobs has these cute durable jellys (shown in blue) for less than $150. But for dressing up at night, your go to shoe is going to be a metallic sandal. Not only are metallics hot this summer but sandals that go up the foot and ankle are definitely in as well. These Stuart Weitzman are under $300 at Saks but are so durable and comfy.

2. A dark pair of shades so they can't see your eyes ...


A good pair of sunglasses are always a must have for summer but this year the glasses are going to be darker than ever and have more decorated than ever. Look for all sorts of embellishments including gold, rhinestones, and huge logos! Don't be left out, get a cute pair. If you splurge on a good pair they'll last you through every party, one night stand, beach day, and street fair this summer. Designers like D&G, Chloe, Fendi and Gucci are going to be your go to's for the hottest shades.

3. A dope set of bangles


Keep it going with the metallic theme that dresses up everything. A wife beater and skinny jeans can look red carpet ready with the right accessories and metallics are taking everything from plain to paparazzi worthy in seconds. Clear plastic bangles will also the job done. Don't break the bank and get $200 Juicy Couture bangles when some of the best finds are at the street vendors and flea markets.

4. A cute printed scarf for your hair

Nothing is worse than being on the beach and getting that nasty beach hair because we all know it does not look how it does in the movies. Actually there maybe something worse, walking on a hot day and having your hair stick to your back. The quick and chic solution is a ultra cute and trendy scarf. Get a long one that isn't meant for hair and tie it has a headband, it even looks cute with a ponytail. I happen to be in love with the Alexander McQueen skull scarfs ($230, pictured from my personal collection) and the classic Emillio Puccis ($275).

5. A colorful durable handbag

Color is going to be important this summer in your every day items. So get a handbag thats colorful and still cute but BIG. The bigger the better this way your bag can play beach bag for an impromptu trip to the beach or a weekend getaway with a new summer hunny but it can also be played down for work and everyday use. The Chloe Paddington pictured is from my personal collection and is under $1000 at Neiman Marcus.

This Week's Style Spotlight: Kim Kardashian

She has successfully shed the title of Paris Hilton's BFF & Hollywood trustfund baby. But with all the rumors and stories surronding this girl's love life we tend to over look what Kim Kardashion does best - DRESS! Kim makes her own ends, not like she has to, by being a stylist to the stars and also a closet reorganizer. Kim also owns (with her sisters) Dash, a high end LA boutique which has become a staple for all fashionistas. Kim is this week's style spotlight because she's someone who is always being photographed and never looks bad! That's a skill!







And ladies stop hating on Kim, calling her Ms. Hoedashian, if every single man you ever dated was on display to the whole world a lot of y'all would be looking worse than her out there! I'm not condoning her sex tape but I am condoning her amazing style.

fashion shows, summer jam, & photoshoots ...

It's been a while since my last post and sorry to all my readers, I've been supppper busy. While I wasn't in Miami for Memorial Day weekend =( I was still having fun. I've been on my super grind but I promise a lot of posts are coming, tonight look out for the top items, places, and things of summer.

Early last week I had a photoshoot for GeeChee One magazine which is honoring me as "One of the top people to look for in 2007", it is definitely an honor and I had a lot of fun shooting. I am not used to being in front of the camera but thank god Joel (my make up guru & bestest friend) who made me comfortable. I will post pictures in the next posting, it's crazy that I'm being honored in an Atlanta based magazine and I've never even touched down in the A, but I swear I'm coming!!

June 2nd I showed pieces of my new collection from my line, Royal T by Amber Marion, during Brooklyn's Sun Fest as apart of the Soul Beauty fashion shows, check out Soulbeautyonline.com, and I have to thank Latima for putting the show together and making me feel at home. The crowds response was amazing, everyone LOVED the new pieces and was amazed at all I do. Thank you to everyone, both personally and professionaly, and braved the heat to check me out!

Now what would Hot 97's Summer Jam be without my mother and I ?!!?!? Truth be told I haven't missed a Summer Jam since like '97. Last night's Summer Jam was shorter than usual but still a must see. If you weren't there than you just aren't normal. I missed the festival where Lil Mama, Shopboyz, and some other new artists performed and many promo events where going on because of the rain which I hoped would let up once the show started but in only got worse. The rain ruined my Blackberry and my new CTS as I literally stood in the rain for 6 hours but it was so worth it.

HERE'S A RUNDOWN OF THE SHOW:
T-Pain opened the show followed by Ciara who was looking way too toned (YES! I AM STARTING TO BELIEVE THE RUMORS), Swizz Beatz who was fresh out the hospital came out in a wheelchair and hospital gown and then tore down the stage bringing out Kanye West for a producer battle. I don't know whose bangers are more crazy, Swizzy or Kanye. Next up was Ne-Yo who brought out Fab (as if no one was expecting that) then Fab brought out Jeezy. Jeezy had every hood mothafucka in the buildning bouncing and going extra hard, PEACE UP A TOWN DOOOWN. Yep, I'm reliving the moments. Chris Brown followed up Jeezy and was having some problems dancing due to all the rain but he looked like Cambells. Chris Brown brought out Juelz and Weezy, the Weezy took over the show with Birdman (no, they didn't kiss, thank god for that). But Weezy spit one of the craziest freestyles I've ever heard along with Fat Joe to the make it rain beat, let me kick something for you from Weezy's mouth "Your watch reminds me of the '80s/ crack rocks on the face". Then the main event, in my eyes, D-I-D-D-Y. I knew Diddy was gonna kill the show because I mean come on now he's fucking Diddy. He brought out Keyshia, Elephant Man, T.I. & T.I.P. I guess, and The LOX but it was Lil Kim who made me almost die as she spit her "Benjamins" verse. After that I left, I heard Mims and Akon came out but seriously why, WHY would you follow up Diddy, how is that even possible.

Aside from all that I'm ready to get back into work, photoshoots, and shows! Check back tonight for the ultimate summer must haves!
