Last Night, July 21, 2010, was the 3rd Annual Cancers for A Cause: Where Music Meets Fashion For A Cure. Music Producer, Polow Da Don is co-founder of Foundation F.O.C.U.S, which puts on this event each year to promote cancer awareness. Multiple celebs who have been affected in some way by a form of cancer were in attendance. R&B artist, Keri Hilson was hosting the event where she shared her story about how cancer has had a impact in relation to her life. Along with Keri Hilson, others attended include, Michelle Williams, Lloyd, Lance Gross, and many more. The fashion show included designers who have had cancer affect someone in their life in which encouraged them to team up with Foundation F.O.C.U.S to put on this amazing event.

The Big O of Fashion pt.2

Okay, so the Oscar de la Renta show on Monday was nothing short of AMAZING! There were a total of 55 looks but there were a few that just took my breath away. Here are my top 5 favs from Monday's show...

1.

Not this look may be a little weird at first but that's why I love it. If there is one thing you will learn about me is that I like weird stuff, and this honey is it!

2.

The ruffles, the belt, the shoes... a Fantastic look all the way around...

3.

Love love love the details on this piece. and the split makes is UBER sexy.

4.

The only Black woman in the show and she KILLT it.She brought this dress to life. The color the movement *stares in awe* (And yes I had to mention her being the only person of color on that runway.)

Last but not least...

5.

*drools just a little bit...* The bolero is very chic and the gown is an absolute work of art.

Like I said before, I expected nothing less of Mr. De La Renta but seeing it in person is just something in its self. The pictures are courtesy of New York Fashion Mag ... Take a look at the rest of the collection. What were some of your favorites??
