Rukiya's World: Something Borrowed, Something New

In the June issue of Marie Claire Gennifer Goodwin sports a Rebecca Minkoff Blazer I'm just dying to get my hands on. The blazer is full length with a nice fit and is very flattering because it gives a slimming effect. It also happens to come in my favorite color coral! But you can also find it in red, hot pink, and white.

Rukiya's World: TV Fashionistas

I love watching re-runs of old TV shows and observing the fashion throw backs. The 80's and 90's definitely had its share of fashionistas on TV. Even though all of these shows were either ahead of my time or just started airing when I was born, I still feel a fashion kinship with particular characters. I give you my top 4 TV fashionistas (in no particular order).

Detective Judith "Judy" Hoffs, 21 Jump Street
Clearly, Holly was sporting the "boyfriend blazer" with skinny jeans way back in the day.


Whitley Gilbert, A Different World
Whitley used to name drop people like Yves Saint Laurent way before he was known by the not-so-fashionable masses. She was always conservative yet fashion forward. Not only that but Ms. Gilbert was always fabulously groomed within an inch of her life!




Denise Huxtable, The Cosby Show
Denise always kept it boho and grunge with her trendsetting style.

Hillary Banks, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
One thing I liked about Hillary is in the early days of the show she always managed to keep it classy by adding a hat to her outfit.
