Virgin Mobile Sparah Web-Series Part Two: Celebrity Couple "Sparah" Get Styled and Sarah Wears NIKOLAKI!


Sparah Celebrity Stylist (Me!!) Is Back!


As y'all (yes, I'm a "Southern Gal!"...Not!) know, I shot a FAB Virgin Mobile Commercial featuring "Sparah"--the newest Hollywood "manufactured" Celeb Couple --as well as myself and some of the cutest dogs in the business.

Well, in addition to the commercial there is also a Webisode Series.

Cute Couple: Virgin Mobile's "Sparah", Sarah and Spencer

I was their "Celeb Stylist" in the series (just like in the national commercial) and got the chance to get them out of the Greyhound Bus-to-Hollywood, and into the real Red Carpet. Yes, I was a bit "Bi****" but, sometimes, it takes a strong DIVA to make things work...

We shot this fun behind-the-scenes "Sparah Makeover" at the Chic Little Devil Showroom in Downtown LA--and I was helped by the AMAZING team of...

Stylist Arturo D. Chavez (Right) and Designer Maggie Barry (Left)--LOVE THEM!

As you'll see in "Part II" of "Virgin Mobile Sparah/Nick Verreos: Celebrity Stylist", I actually got Sarah (the female half of "Sparah") to try on some of my gorgeous NIKOLAKI Collection gowns, so she could have a feel for what a Red Carpet Gown feels and looks like...

Justin bieber, the young iconic pop singer hold himself the various awards and also has been famous to his new outlooks and his admiration to the new fashion trends. During the show, he always rock well with his songs and also with his new looks through favorite fashion trends. 

Star Style For Less - Sophia Bush's Tailor Fit Look!

As I have said before in my blog posts, I love lace dresses paired with jackets! I saw this picture of Sophia Bush in a ruffled lace skirt from Dior. She paired it with a short sleeve belted jacket and strappy wedges.

Instead of a skirt, I recreated this look with a lace dress. And instead of Dior, I went for Charlotte Russe:-) (Thats why its called Star Style For Less!!!)

Men in jeans - fits for all occasions.

Fashion trends moves up with jeans culture. Most guys like jeans and you are likely to find them in their wardrobes. This is because these cloths are attractive and preferable in casual occasions. And also it gives manly look. It is important for to select that will make him look fit or that is preferable for him.


Relaxed-fit ones are lovely for individuals who have weight. This is because they are loosely cut. If anyone who is slim puts it on, they are likely to look skinny. The best for slender people are skinny denims because they are tight fitting. This type of trousers does not go well with heavy guys for it will make them look bigger.



If one wants to look trendy, it is clever to go for boot-cut. They fit strongly to the body but are not tight. These trousers are designed to have style towards the bottom. It covers the shoes slightly and goes with most body size.


Celebrities are crazy about short jeans!

Celebrities always look for the new fashion trends that are simple and smart enough.  And now they are crazy about short jeans due to the style that flatter their figures and give a stylish look for them. This new fashion trend has seemed to be gained popularity among celebrities.

How my mom (above with my very dapper Diplomat Dad) and grandma and all Latina Women influence me...

An Ode To Beauty - Remembering The Styles Of Audrey, Joan, Grace and Doris

I love movies!  In theaters, on TV, renting DVDs. But for me nothing comes close to watching an black and white movie on Turner Classic Movies channel! I am in love with the old Hollywood grandeur, the grace and femininity of the ladies and their clothes! There is that undeniable beauty in old movies which inspires you to be glamorous, to sweep the lipgloss before going to grocery store, to look at your closet from a different angle, makes the gloves and hats look "essential' again! Today I am paying tribute to the styles of four of my favorite leading ladies from an era gone by. They are breathtakingly beautiful, have an extraordinary style and  they are timelessly chic!


Joan Fontaine, Grace Kelly , Audrey Hepburn and Doris Day - Thank you for lighting up the marquee! You are a stylist's dream! Here is how I would copy your style!

Michelle Obama Visits UK: The Fashion Edition


Fashionista First Lady...


The First Lady of the USA
has been abroad on a State Visit to the United Kingdom (as well as accompanying her husband to the G8 Summit in France), and well, let's just say, she has been GIVING some Fashion with a Capital "F". Her suitcases were PACKED kids! I can only imagine. Hope she took her assistant or her 'people" put together Polaroids of each outfit and what went with what. From looking at these photos, I have a feeling, they did. Not one detail was missed.

Michelle Obama attending the State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in Tom Ford

Here are some highlights:
First (above photo) Mrs. Obama stunned the guests and the world press with a halter neck criss-cross shirred chiffon ivory gown by US Designer Tom Ford, Opera-length gloves (love those!) and clutch.

Michelle Obama arrives at Stansted Airport in Peter Som Fall 2010. On their way to a G8 Summit

Then, on the way to the G8 Summit in Deauville France, she wore another US Designer, Peter Som--a purple sheath dress with bateau neckline (she loves her boat necks!) with a matching ombre purple coat, highlighted by a center front neck brooch.

Michelle Obama disembarking Air Force One in Preen Fall 2011

Upon disembarking Air Force One, she wore Preen Fall 2011 turquoise blue cropped coat, matching pencil skirt and metallic lame/top. I love how she had the jacket customized so it opens in the front and we get to see more of that fabulous printed blouse. She is seriously competing with Victoria Beckham as THE Best Dressed Woman seen coming out of a Plane!!!

Michelle Obama in Ralph Lauren Fall 2011.

The First Couple hosted a dinner for the Queen--that's Queen Elizabeth II--at Winfield House, the residence of the Ambassador of the United States of America. Mrs. Obama wore an off-the-shoulder black gown by All-American Designer (who LOVES all things British incidentally!) Ralph Lauren, from his Fall 2011 Collection. The gown fitted her impeccably and she finished it off with clean side swept hair and a STUNNING statement making necklace. Her "people" (Press Secretary, Stylist, whoever...) is surely working OVERTIME and earning EVERY penny of their salary huney! I give them an A+.

Michelle Obama at the Buckingham Palace State Visit wearing Barbara Tfank Resort 2011

While visiting Buckingham Palace for a daytime function during their UK State Visit, Michelle Obama opted for a bateau (told you she loved that neckline!) neckline A-line silhouette printed dress with box pleats and a contrasting waist sash; finished off with a rose-pink bolero jacket, jeweled pin and pointy metallic heels. Very Lady-Like. I approve.

Michelle Obama speaks at the University of Oxford in Alexander McQueen Resort 2011

When Mrs. Obama spoke at Oxford University during her visit to the UK, she wore (appropriately enough!) an Alexander McQueen Resort 2011 ensemble of a "high-low" band-collared white shirt and black skinny pants--and a FABULOUS waist-cincher of a belt. It was modern, fresh and yes, British.

Michelle Obama serving food to members of the Military at a Barbeque at 10 Downing Street wearing Tracy Reese Pre-Fall 2011

Finally, for a "Photo-Op" while serving food to members of the Military at a Barbeque at the Prime Minister's Home (10 Downing Street), the US First lady decided to don a black-and-white zig-zag applique dress with beaded waistband. It seemed a bit dressy for the occasion, but she looked fabulous none the less.

All in all, Mrs. Obama gets an "A" for bringing the FASHION across the Pond. And at least, for looking fresh, directional, and (Thank Goodness) somewhat fashionable. Cheers Mrs. Obama!
