Brandy & Monica: "It All Belongs To Me"

Brandy and Monica "It All Belongs To Me" is my favorite video of 2012 so far. The lyrics are fun and edgy and their wardrobe is off the chain!!! #kickass

It was 8 years ago, I was on the campus of SUNY Old Westbury, my new school waiting in the resident hall for a classmate. In walks a girl wearing some cool color blocked vans, blue boy-friend fit jeans, a dope screen tee and I can't forget her fabulous oversized shades. She walked as if she owned the campus, full of energy and I just had to tell her how cool she looked. Before I could say anything she looked at my shoes and said "those are some bad-ass pumps". I told her that I loved her shoes as well, we smiled and exchanged info. We laughed the next day we saw each other in class. We discovered we were studying the same major, Media & Communications, our friendship took off from there.

Julissa's wardrobe was and still is cool, funky and full of life! Although we have different styles, we both die for each others pieces. We've watch each other evolve in our careers, style and most of all , as woman. For eight years we've met at least once a week to discuss our crazy yet fruitful lives. Although our conversions usually get serious, (especially the ones about guys) we usually bring up fashion to bring it back to fun.

Last week we were in the beauty section in Victoria's Secret and I noticed she was wearing a neon yellow satchel. I told her it was dope and that it reminded me of my Cambridge Satchel. We looked at each other and laughed, "Of course it does", says Julissa. We have a catalog of each others wardrobe, we remember important moments of each other based on what we wore. I told Julissa that we need to start sharing our parallel wardrobe stories to the world. She nodded in agreement and said "That will be freaking amazing!".

Look forward to Madame Q and Julissa's E. collaboration: The Cambridge Satchel

MM Behind the Scenes: Nadine Docteur Fall Presentation

On my way to help Nadine Docteur shut it down!

Designer Nadine Docteur

My fabulous assistant stylist Michelle

With the lady who made the show live!! The one and only publicist, Ana Toure

I fell in love with Nadine Docteur's collection the moment I pulled the pieces out of the garment bags. The world is waiting for this, I said to myself. I knew my job as her head stylist for the evening was crucial, I had to make sure everyone got her vision. Her futuristic casual wear is long over due for the active women who loves to look cool without loosing her sexy. For more info on Nadine Docteur collection go to www.nadinedocteur.com
