Where to view the #Oscars when you don't have...
So I ran into a little bit of a dilemma this Sunday. I’m broke. So I don’t have money for cable. So when the Oscars came on this Sunday, I had no way of viewing it at home. This was as good a time as any to put my street smarts to use. Most of my friends are just like me, broke and don’t have cable either…hmm. What to do?
Well…we are in New York City…

#Oscars Best! @OctaviaSpencer Wins!
The Oscars were on last night and my favorite, OCTAVIA SPENCER won! Yay! She, coincidentally, is also my pick for best dressed in a gorgeous Tadashi Shoji gown that not everyone can pull off! The central waisted beading creates a wonderful slimming effect and her skin tone was ever-so-brightened by the pale off-white dress! She was luminescent!

The Difference Between Runway Shows and...
This is a post I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve seen a trend of designers holding presentations over runway shows. I’m going to give you guys my pros and cons of presentations vs. runway shows because I feel that the difference is enough to impact my life as a fashion blogger and fashion aficionado.
Look at her move- A con of holding a presentation is that the models are...

In my field of work, I have the privilege of meeting extraordinary people in fashion. Susan Ashbrook is no exception.

Yesterday was my 3rd Anniversary with @SkimMilkProject or Alex! Yay! But due to monetary restrictions, more like brokeness, we were unable to truly, all-out celebrate.
But in true ICFashionChic fashion, I have thought of the perfect fantasy getaway and hope one day it may come true.
First…the perfect vacation:
Costa Rica
So obviously, Costa Rica is the most perfect getaway! Not at...

Today, I wanted to share with everyone the process of fittings with some of the pieces from my Addison Heart line. I hold the belief that any piece from my collection should be flattering for any body type and shape. It is more or less a rite of passage for my sales girls to become a fitting...

@Emerson_Designs casts @_loveleigh_ via...
Jackie Fraser-Swan’s Emerson Preview to the Fall 12 Collection has me so pumped for her show. She’s cast Leigh Lezark to be the face. Mrs. Fraser-Swan’s Fall 12 collection was inspired by porcelain dolls called, “Dresden Dolls”. Popular from the City of Dresden, Germany which was severely damaged from bombings during WWII and thus inspiring Mrs. Fraser-Swan to delve...

@Whatsyournude #Whatsyournude
Finally, someone is speaking out about the lingerie problem in America! Psychologist Tara Raines has had enough of the “Nude” bra institution.
For anyone slightly more tan than peach or beige, it’s impossible to find a “nude” bra. Tara Raines has shared that struggle, as have I, and finally there is something you can do about that!

We’ve all been there. We begin the year by making resolutions for 2012—we’ll exercise three times a week, we’ll finally clean that junk drawer, we’ll start eating healthier—but it’s the end of the month, and not only have you not…
