posh brown's muse of the moment...tracee ellis ross

tracee ellis ross style-

eclectic and clever, tastefully done.

p.s  ms. ross's style is so fierce, her flawless yet fearless make-up is usually never mentioned.  i noticed, tracee.

my guys

good luck to my guys tonight.  the last game proved that they are such a phenomenal team.  what a show!  in case you missed it, dwayne wade seriously injured my fave celtic rondo.  rajon rondo, reaffirming what a class act he is, came back to the court despite the scary injury that would have most done for the rest of the playoffs.  anyway, enough gushing!  i hope they do well but either way they have a fan in me.

where i was... (naples)



hi guys!  i am feeling relaxed and refreshed thanks to my south florida vacation.  the trip was quite amazing.  ninety degree sunny weather helps ALOT.  the intention was to do next to nothing (besides lounge and party).  mission accomplished!!  fantastic food and drinks (had a marvelous mango margarita that was to die for), dancing in the street and lazy days at the beach filled my time away. plus, i had the best company.  remember last time i hit the sunshine state?  i ended up doing a whole lot of shopping.  this time, i resisted the urge.  the exception was some cheap n chic jewelry shopping at this huge accessories shop on their 5th Avenue (naples, florida).  i didn't bring my lovely laptop so i was unable to really keep up with the blogging.  i did have a few posts in the queue, of course.  but there was so much i wanted to discuss with you: the royal wedding especially.  i've decided to post on the big event, even if its a bit after the fact.  anyway, back to the regular scheduled programming of my life. 

p.s  thanks for all the comments while i was away...

catching grenades for bruno mars

its been quite a while since i've been inspired by a man and his wardrobe.  but then came bruno mars.  his retro yet relaxed look has taken the entertainment world by storm.  the elvis do and 50's doo wop sense of style has definitely won me (and not to mention a million others) over.  of course, those boyish good looks, truckload of talent and never ending charm don't hurt.  safe to say there are a number of ladies who would  gladly catch a grenade for him.  wanna rock the retro look bruno style (ladies, you too!)?  read on...

becoming bruno...the 7 essentials

• the perfect fedora
• great white tees
• a massive collection of skinny ties
• leather jacket with a fab fit
• plenty of plaid button downs
• good pair of shades
• a bad ass pompadour

THE gossip girl, wendy williams

so, it turns out wendy williams can't do it all.  she was booted from the hit show dancing with the stars in second to last place.  hey, at least she tried!  anyhow, she has been blessed with a more prestigious honor (in my opinion).  she is the new cover girl on the may issue of essence magazine.  and, she looks fantastic!!

like all of the greats in history, she  has evolved over the time. from the infamous shock dee-jay you could count on for all the gritty, inside gossip to the respectable princess of morning tv talk, wendy has transitioned into a hero.  how u doing, wendy?!

It’s Not All About the Clothes

Edited by Meghan Donovan at WIT & Whimsy


If you’re a fashion blogger, you know that personal style is often not just about what apparel you put on each day, but it’s about accessories and shoes and beauty, but even more so, it’s about the little elements in every day life that inspire you and influence your taste. As fashion blogging continues to evolve I’ve watched more and more bloggers share little intimate looks into their every day lives, the moments that fill their weekends with joy and those unexpected experiences – as trivial as they may be sometimes – that have you taking to the keyboard and storytelling to your readers.

spotlight: ms. melody and her jewels

i don't know if you've heard about melody ehsani but she has become a bit of a hero to me.  a woman who turned away from what was expected of her to pursue a passion is someone i feel the need to celebrate. leaving law school behind, melody chose to work on design and has become one of the hottest accessory designers in the business.  how do i know?  well, there is hardly an it girl celebrity that i can name that hasn't been seen rocking ehsani's cool designs.  cassie, ms. badu, rih rih, ms. minaj, kerri hilson, amber rose...i assume you get the point.


  melody's pieces are not for the wallflower type.  they are bold, fearless, colorful and expressive and usually have a feminist girl power message behind them. i'm sure you can see, whether her accessories fit your style or not, ms. melody should be applauded for her moxy and brave heart.  learn more about melody ehsani and her wares at her website.

video voyeur - Turn Your Lights Down Low-bob marley & lauryn hill

i've been slacking off a lot with the video voyeur feature.  i apologize but maybe today's choice will make up for it.  this is "turn the lights down low" by lauryn hill and bob marley with julian marley starring as the love interest (in the video and reality).  i don't know about you but this song makes me feel relaxed and romantic.  the tune is so mellow and passionate, how could one NOT love it?  the same goes for the visuals.  lauryn hill looks stunning, her make up, hair and wardrobe enhancing the soft and free mood.  then there is the lush scenery that makes you want to leave all the hustle and bustle of home to live in the calm caribbean. don't forget the most important factor in the success of this song: the king bob marley.  if bob wanted to give me some good love, i'd surely take him up on it.  enjoy the show!!

here are a few looks from rachel roy's collection.  these three outfits remind me of what i use to wear to work in my junior high school teacher days...good times!  i've been working on a post about the fabulous rachel roy and her talent.  keep an eye out for it!  hugs and...............besos jenna pearle*

gwen and her gorgeous LAMB

if you've been following me for awhile, then you already know my adoration for gwen stefani.  i feel like, style wise, she's my long lost blonde california girl big sister.  after getting a glimpse of her latest L.A.M.B line at NYFW, i am even more convinced.  this time around, i appreciated her love of ties, blazers, v-neck sweaters among other menswear influences.  we almost always have kindred spirits when it comes to patterns (plaids, houndstooth, stripes and polka dots).  gwen is such a fashion maverick and i'm so proud that we share such a similar aesthetic; gives me hope.
