Bag Ladies "Look of the Week"

So much to choose from but we couldn't keep our eyes off Rihanna and the look she was sporting at this weekend's 2010 Kids Choice Awards ...you know the awards show where folks get slimed? But you know RiRi wasn't having any part in that modeling on the orange carpet (not red), in a pale pink Christian Dior dress. This is a look you can recreate which we definitely like. We love the defined shoulders which has become RiRi's claim to fame as of late. And paired with nude Brian Atwood pumps, the look works. And further accessorized with sequined, sheer white socks, a belt to cinch that waist (always a plus), and dripping in Neil Lane diamonds, how can you go wrong?

The look is the perfect combo of chic fashion and effortless style ...has a kind of nostalgic feel to it. And loving the clean face with the dramatic eye and soft lip. Our pick for "Look of the Week"

Tune into Bag Ladies Reality Radio every Tuesday at 7:30p for REAL Women ...REAL Talk!

And join us for a "special edition" live broadcast from Soul Parlour featuring Bag Ladies, tomorrow at Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington, DC.

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Halle Berry

Who else on this planet could rock a simple long-sleeve, belted, black jersey dress, better than Halle Berry? From the top of her pixie cut head to the bottom of her feet which are covered in stunning charcoal grey suede platforms. And you might think that she was stepping out for a true "fashionista" event but instead, Halle was stepping out all for the cause. Bag Ladies (always on the scene), caught a glimpse of Halle stepping out on Saturday for the March of Dimes fourth annual Celebration of Babies at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Halle kept it simple but still kept it hot! Did you really expect any less? So you know the routine ...Recreate the look, snap a few pics and get em to us for some FREE swag. Bag Ladies never lets you down and always hooks you up! You have one week to get the pics to us here.

And don't forget to tune into Bag Ladies Radio tomorrow at 7p EST for a brand new show. Talk to ya then!

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: First Lady

As we were perusing potential looks to post for our Bag Ladies Look of the Week, we came across this pic of the First Lady last week on the south lawn of the White House promoting physical fitness at the Healthy Kids Fair, and fell in love that much more since if you're like us you were already in love with Michelle Obama. We couldn't take our eyes off this pic and it's less about the fashion this week although she brings it but instead it's more about the "free spiritidness" she portrays. Who doesn't want that? Who doesn't want to be able to pull that look off? She's so unpretentious and real which is why Bag Ladies Reality Radio loves her. She is totally oblivious to the press and paparazzi which we can deffie relate to cause the press and paparazzi always trying to capture our fabulousness but I digress. But to be able to capture that carelessness and still look nonetheless put together and sharp with a black studded wide leather belt, royal blue cardigan, slim fitting tapered capri pants, First Lady Michelle Obama won hands over fist. As for your role in capturing the look and getting us some pics ...if you so choose, cool but know that we want the look in its entirety which includes the accessory that is the hula hoop. That's right ...you gotta accessorize it up. So get to pulling the pieces together, dust off that old hula hoop and oh, be sure to put those hips in action too. You got a week as always to get your pics to us here for some FREE Swag.

And not to be forgotten, tune into Bag Ladies Radio tomorrow at 7p EST for "All For the Cause." And be on the lookout for this week's edition of Thru The Eyes of Bag Ladies, hits inboxes everywhere tomorrow. If you ain't on the list, click here now and join the club.

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Beyonce' Knowles

Beyonce "rocked the frock" Friday literally at handbag designer, Samantha Thavasa's Meet and Greet at Studio Mouris Roppongi in Tokyo, Japan. "B" is simply chic, adorned in Rock & Republic as both the strapless black cocktail dress and cobalt blue suede "Celina" pumps with spike detail are both R&R. We love the trend that is the black strapless dress and the platform pumps are to die for and that color is making us drool. This is such an effortless look which are sometimes the best.

Currently performing in Asia, "B" was able to find time to make a pit-stop and support designer Samantha Thavasa whose handbags "B" refers to as hip and chic. Last time she was caught at a Samantha Thavasa event, sister Solange wasn't too far behind but this time "B" stepped out solo but not without a Samantha Thavasa design on her arm.

So wassup, what do you think of the look? You think you can pull it off? You ready to snap some pics and show us? Well get to it. We may just snap some pics of ourselves pulling this look off but "B" is modeling one of the hottest fall trends. You can easily find a similar style strapless black cocktail dress for less than 40 bucks and if you click here, you can find that must have cobalt blue shoe or do some searching of your own for a similar style at a lesser price. We are less interested in the brand of course and more interested in how you hook it up and pull it off. Show yourself off and get some FREE swag in return. You know we got you but you gotta pull the look together and email your pics to us at info@bagladiesradio.com. You got a week ...until next week's Bag Ladies Look of the Week.

Be sure to tune into this week's show Tuesday, at 7p EST on bagladiesradio.com and don't miss this week's Thru The Eyes of Bag Ladies. If you ain't yet on the list, get it together and click here now.

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Gabrielle Union

So many hot events to pull great looks ...from Paris Fashion Week to the Los Angeles premier of Chris Rock's Good Hair ...Bag Ladies had a chance to check out an advance screening last week. And definitely gather the girls and check it out cause it is a movie although I think technically classified as a documentary, but surely a hit that you won't wanna miss. It's that good, that insightful and damn sure that funny!! Anything that explores how territorial and possessive Black Women can be and have always been about their hair whether it's their own biological hair or someone else's, is a guaranteed riot!!!

But back to what we doing here, we at Bag Ladies just couldn't take our eyes off the comfortably chic look Gabrielle Union rocked at the Good Hair premier and we are that much more excited to see how you, our listeners might pull it off. Like we said last week, we are switching things up and no longer recreating the look for you, we are turning it over to you and instead, you show us the sense of style we know you have.

So get to recreating, snap some pics and get them to us along with your contact info, for some FREE Swag!! You have 1 week and we made this one a bit easy because everyone should have a cropped jacket, tights (of course), a black belt and if you don't have a jumper or romper such as what G Union is sporting, you surely got a mini that you can work. Anyway, click here to email us the pics and show us what you can do.

And don't forget to tune into bagladiesradio.com tomorrow at 7p EST. It's a show you don't wanna miss particularly if you are as much a fan of the RHOA as we are. But somebody just might get checked and it ain't gonna be us!!

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Eve

It's Monday which means it's time for another fabulous look! Perhaps you might've caught some of the looks posted all over the world wide web from VH1's Hip Hop Honors 2009 which is the only way you will sneak a peek since the show doesn't air until October 13th. There were many head turning looks on the red carpet ...some good, most bad. But one look in particular that we liked and selected as our fave of the week, is our girl Eve. Always on the radar, Eve maintains her style and doesn't compromise. Eve achieves such a great balance between femininity and confidence with just a touch of testosterone thrown in! We love the way she rocked this little black dress. Everyone should have one ...of course it doesn't have to be Helmut Lang but Eve set it off with a gorgeous yellow and black striped clutch, fingerless gloves and Diego Dolcini heels. Evidently she took the stage and presented so can't want to see her do her thang.

BTW, Bag Ladies is switching things up a bit and further details will be revealed on tomorrow's show. But instead of our recreating the look at a more cost-effective price, we want you to do it!!! That's right, we are turning it over to you. Bag Ladies Radio wants to give you some FREE swag but you gotta do your part too. Once our fave is posted, you then take the look, recreate it on yourself, snap a couple pics and submit to Bag Ladies providing your contact info. and details to include where pieces came from (brands), and price points. Each week, a different winner will be announced and that winner will be sent some great goodies!!! And trust, we don't front. We mean what we say, you will get some great goodies!! So get to recreating, snapping and sending. Submit all entries to info@bagladiesradio.com.

Tune into Bag Ladies Reality Radio tomorrow at 7p EST for more. Talk to ya then!!

Look of the Week: Olivia Wilde

Bag Ladies Look of the Week!!

Pictured at right and below: Olivia Wilde from House

All attention of course was paid to the Emmy Awards Red Carpet last night. I felt a bit sorry for those that had to endure what was like 102 degrees to walk the red carpet and give it in an effort to get that one shot. You could clearly see the sweat on the brow of everyone. It was probably the most talked about subject on the red carpet. But nonetheless, there were definitely some standouts from Christina Applegate to Mariska Hargitay to Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. And you know I'm a die-hard Seinfeld fan and although Julia didn't make it as our look for this week, she can do no wrong. But our pick for the Look of the Week is Olivia Wilde from the show House. She drove home skin is in and perhaps the barely there dress left her a bit more room to breath cause I certainly didn't notice a bead of sweat anywhere on her. But this bare back, full skirt Marchesa dress not only garnered the attention of everyone at the Emmy's, Paparazzi and all but Bag Ladies as well. And the smoky eye was a great compliment. We are gonna try our best to tell you how to get it. And first time for everything ...we had to give Heidi Klum a gold star b/c she is absolutely the most gorgeous "preggers" woman we've ever seen and she worked the red carpet w/ Seal by her side in all her pregnant glory. And wouldn't you know it, we found that her black strapless lace gown w/ embroidered bodice was Marchesa as well. Seems that both Olivia and Heidi have great taste!

Tune in tomorrow at 7p EST only on bagladiesradio.com. Bag Ladies is joined tomorrow by Dr. Legs to talk about Catwalk Confidence, "How To Live A Fitness Chic Lifestyle" and hot footwear trends for fall.

Get Cassie's Look ...

Get this week's Bag Ladies fave and don't break the bank doing it.

2nd option - Rebecca Taylor Mini-Me Floral Print - Neiman's - $375

Accessories: Ruffle T-Strap Bootie, Mandee - Steve Madden, $79.99

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Cassie at the 2009 VMA's

So many fave looks to be had at last night's MTV VMA's, it made it nearly impossible to pick a fave. Although there were just as many looks that you wouldn't wanna be caught dead in on the red carpet. But for Bag Ladies Look of the Week, we just love the print of Cassie's plunging neckline silk floral print mini paired with metallic peep-toe booties. And the contrast of the bright yellow clutch totally sets if off not to mention those diamond cuffs. Say what you will about her hairstyle but still loving the originality and for this look, it's styled in such a way that it is garnering less attention and is rather a compliment to her sassy style. Her makeup is not too extreme or overpowering. The nude lip and smokey eye is perfect!

Tune into tomorrow's Bag Ladies Reality Radio at 7p EST and we'll tell you how to get the look for yourself.
