“My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was. I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy.
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of” - My Medical Choice by Angelina Jolie, New York Times (14 May, 2013)

Friday Fashion insider: DJ Harley Viera-Newton
Hey Lovelies,
I’ve deserted the blog this week (for a good reason that you are about to find out preettyy soon :P), but to make it up to you, here’s a new FFI profile (yeah, it’s been a while; sorry about that too..)
She is a remarkable model and a proficient deejay. But don’t call her an ‘it’ girl as she “finds the label a little embarrassing,” and she has”made fun of people called It Girls” before. She is the go-to girl rather when it comes to DJing at hot parties around New York City at spots like Avenue and the Jane Hotel.
She’s quite the busy bee:
She’s spun for Karl Lagerfeld and Max Mara among others and she has got Mulberry, Jason Wu, Carven and Christopher Kane on speed dial. Other members of her star-studded posse? Besties Mischa Barton and Alexa Chung.
Her style, much like her music, is a hip-hop-meets-indie-rock mesh of high fashion and vintage pieces. When it comes to her style, you can often catch her in cute vintage dresses or denim overalls. And she never leaves home without her beloved Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, perhaps an ode to her beloved cat Marmite.
I don’t think she hasn’t met a quirky print she did not like: fruits, tomatoes, elephants, you name it. HVN works them all!!
You can find her at numerous fashion weeks, making it onto the front rows of Chanel, Miu Miu and Henry Holland when she is not behind the behind the 1s and 2s.
Her personality’s cool, her miuzak list, HOT! I have the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of her as she is Jay Z’s music management label Roc Nation newly signee.
I religiously follow her miuzak & style musings on her website. And so should you for everything from her upcoming gigs to her style inspos. I wanna be like her when I grow up!
xoxo, Deb

Ask a stylist: Rihanna’s cage sandals
Happy Monday Rosedolls! How’s this nice & warm weather treating ya?!
As you know, I looove helping you guys solve fashion requests. Keep em’ coming! Ericka O. from Vancouver (Vancity, stand up!) asks:
“I love Rihanna’s style very much! I came across a picture of her watching a basketball game.
I am very interested in finding out about the designer of her gorgeous sandals and where can I purchase them. Love your blog BTW!”
Thank you so much Ericka!
Now that’s what I call Couture Courtside attire. Players jerseys and Jordans can come later. When you are this fierce, this fresh and r&b/pop’s reigning princess, you can most certainly wear cage shoes and get away with it!
The bajan beauty showed off her toned legs at a Nets game wearing 1,385$ Brian Atwood Isabeli calf high 4” heeled gladiator sandals.
Into the look at a more affordable price? Take a gander at my curated selections, and snag your favorite today!

(Kinda late) Thirsty Thursday Miuzak: Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monáe ft. Erykah Badu- When I first found out about this collabo, I made at least three mental backflips! The clip features Monáe and Erykah Badu (or, as she’s referred to in the video, Badoula Oblongata) wearing a variety of costumes in different visual settings, and there is a vague sci-fi element to the whole proceeding as well. VERY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Janelle is wearing h-h-heeeelssss!!

Fashion Event: Miuzak meets Fashion @ W Hotel!
A group of fashionable montrealers gathered at the luxurious W Montreal’s Wunderbar last week for an evening of Fashion, miuzak and cocktails with some of the city’s top designers showcasing their top Spring/Summer 2013. I loved Marie St-Pierre’s intelligence, DUY’s femininity, Travis Taddeo’s risk-taking, Nadya Toto’s refinement and Michael Eardley’ edgyness
Two hot upcoming Canadian talents also brought down the house during the fashion show.
I’ve seen the beautiful Naadei around from the styling circuit but never had the chance to hear her sing. She performed with enthusiasm and nonstop energy.
Then it was off to Toronto based electro-funk talent ZOLO, who charmed the crowd with some good head-banging tunes.
And all of this it was for a great cause, too! Plateau Lounge donated a portion of the evening’s proceeds to support the Quebec Breast Cancer foundation. Fashion for a cause?! LOVEly!

(Supa late!) Thirsty Thursday Miuzak ‘Get Lucky’ by Daft Punk ft. Pharrell -My husband (in my head!) Pharrell Williams does it again! My babes provides the vocals on “Get Lucky,” the latest single by Daft Punk, the acclaimed French electronic dance duo that likes to dress as robots.
’70s funk/disco group Chic member Rodgers’ appearance & chunky guitar riffs, ups the track’s funk factor.
“Get Lucky” is from Daft Punk’s upcoming offering, Random Access Memories. It follows group’s last album, 2005’s “Human After All.”
Disco Dance Pop at its finest. Reminds me of MJ’s Rock with you.
xoxo, Deb
