Tracee Ellis Ross: She's a Bad Mamma Jamma!

Hey all-
I live for fashionable TV shows. I can sit and watch boring shows/movies if the fashion is on point because to me fashion is art and it revives me. Like Carrie said in Sex and the City " I wouldn't eat for the night and get a Vogue instead, I feel it nourishes me more". Whenever I am down, I turn to my fashion mags and the images alone make me happy... its instant Prozac or whatever the new depression drug du jour is.

With that said..... TV shows..... Till this day there are only 3 shows that inspire me and quench my thirst for style: Girlfriends, Sex and the City and Gossip Girl... the new VH1 'Single Ladies' is starting to creep into slot number 4 but we shall see if it has staying power as I am picky, picky!

Girlfriends was the "urban" Sex and the City and I adored it. Joan Clayton played by Tracee Ellis Ross had the most fabulous style and that was my first view of Christian Louboutin shoes. She always had a bold lip, wild hair and body hugging pencil skirts that were A.MA.ZING. Because of this, I wanted to do an ODE to Tracee Ellis Ross whose own style is very much that of her characters.

Enjoy.............................

She was known for pencil skirts that hit below the knee and this particular one with the ruffles is to DIE FOR!



Bold accessories were another wardrobe staple!

Love and I mean LOVE this Jacket! And of course the infamous Fendi Spy Bag



Although I had MANY faves from the show, the outfit below still causes me to swoon b ecause it is SO me. Backless Halter and wide leg or super flare jeans... AHHHHHHHH.. call the Dr to resuscitate me asap.

Fashion and TV

If you didn’t already guess, fashion feeds me! If I am in a bad mood, sad or just need a “fix” I look to fashion magazines, blogs and certain TV shows to cure my craving. The show ‘Girlfriends’ was my first TV show that I would watch primarily for aesthetic purposes. Oh how I loved Tracee Ellis Ross’-Joan character’s hairstyles, over the top accessories and pants! Many times I don’t think I even listened to the dialogue it was ALL ABOUT the clothes! Next came the Fashion show of all fashion TV shows… Sex and the City! No one in this whole entire world can tell me anything opposite of what I just wrote. I will and I mean I WILL debate this all day long with you and I will have history and facts to argue my position so do not come unprepared…. Its war and I have my weapons of mass destruction all lined up :)  (yes I am THAT passionate about that show and the fashion on that series, Shout out to Patricia Field)….



Unfortunately both of the above shows are now off the air and Gossip Girl has become my new obsession. On Mondays from 9-10pm you will find me on my couch tuned in to the CW, with a glass of wine or Woodchuck Cider in my hand and my Blackberry in the other tweeting about the show. its no surprise that Eric Daman, the costume designer for Gossip Girl was Patricia Field's assistant on SATC.....


The show has been on vacay for the last 1.5 months and I have been going through withdrawal but no fretting… its back on this upcoming Monday, April 18th! Because of this I have chosen to do my homage to the show’s fashion…..

Can anyone guess whose style I most identify with?!?!??
