Haute Fashion Lookbook
This is a look into the ideal closet of a true Coverings Fashionista. The haute fashions on Elie Saab’s runway are chocked full of elegance, allure, and simple exquisite lines. This designer usually creates romanticism in his princess crystal-encrusted gowns. His Middle Eastern and European appeal is displayed with brightly colored silks, chiffons, pearl beading, and embroidered lace. Take a look at some of the ready-to-wear couture designs.
Let’s Talk Bare Necessities
The company called BareNecessities has created a new rave in women’s hosiery. We have seen an array of styles and colors over the past years, however, none like these.
Have you ever tried to layer your clothes to keep warm, including wearing a pair of hosiery and socks? Well I have, because of the cold in the great Midwest!
At BareNecessities.com, you will find a variety of different styles of these “Bootights”. They come in opaque, sheer diamond print, fishnet, pinstripe, and the sock at different lengths. Even Oprah called them the new “must have, much like Spanx”.
Bootights were designed to eliminate the need to double up on socks and stockings for warmth. They are a miracle for women that desire comfort and dryness when wearing boots with tights. The boot conceals the sock so they look like a regular pair of tights from the top of your boot up. All of this innovation just under $30, and no more worries of moisture or bunching in the boots!
Lookbook for Winter 2011
A look into what is haute for this winter is textures and warmth, of course. New York Fashion Week is trending the velvets, furs, and wool blends that exude fall romanticism and earthy hues. Velvets by Alexander Wang, Diesel Black Gold and Diane Von Furstenberg. Check out the the romantic red velvet by Zac Posen.
Another favorite on the runways showed lots of fur in fall winter 2010/ 2011 collections. There are varieties of fur colours in many details on the cuffs, purses, shoes and skirts. A look at Michael Kors designs stood out in handbags and Karl Lagerfeld in North Pole style boots. Fur details also in Altuzarra, Proenza Schouler, and Ohne Titel collections.
Last but not least are the layered Outfits by Rag & Bone, BCBG Max Azria, and Michael Kors.
The Milkmaid Braid
It is the latest rave in Hollywood and it has been slowly growing fad or fashion statement. It is the Milkmaid braid. And it’s back! From runway models to women on the streets, many women are daring this new look. Yet, it is not so new after all, because some say it originated in Spanish, Boho, or Scandinavia- at any rate it’s European. Beautiful women have been enhancing their style with the new braided hairstyle! I think it looks very soft and feminine for just about every occasion. Make it neat or loose for a natural look. Local teens in my area have been making their own attempt at the look, too. I have edited so steps to achieving your own Milkmaid Braid:
- Comb the hair and split into two sections. Use a clip or ponytail holder to secure the top of the braid, if necessary.
- Make a braid into a section of hair and secure a clip to the hair to the opposite side while you’re braiding, so it will lie flat when it’s wrapped.
- Repeat this process on the each side of the head, making a second hair braid.
- Wrap each braid around the head, using a cross over pattern towards the back center part.
- Tuck the ends of the braids in underneath one another, to conceal elastic bands don’t show. Try to secure the braids with a bobby pin underneath the braid.

Holiday Book Signing Event at Macy’s

December 11, 2010 Macy's Event
On December 11, 2010, the Holiday Book Signing featured Wilma Walker, Minister and author of “Pieces of Faith” book alongside Dr. Peggy Scott, author and Songwriter Candi Staton was held at Macy’s in Saint Louis, Missouri. This Macy’s sponsored event, planned by Coverings Magazine, did not miss a beat.
Macy’s created a setting to near perfection, including a display of fashion picks hand selected by the authors, Wilma Walker and Dr. Peggy Scott. The garments shown were made with intricate detail from the shoes to the dress and handbag that finishes the look.
Yes, Macy’s honored these incredible women of God by allowing them to briefly share their stories and give autographs to the public. The place was abuzz with the stirrings of excited fans as they were introduced themselves to the panelists. Each panelist gave personal care to greet every reader and music lover individually. Even the wife of the Temptations’ member Dennis Edwards made a cameo appearance to the spectacular event. People left the Macy’s store with warm smiles on their faces which visibly proved they were satisfied customers.
Each panelist had a story to share with the audience. Minister Wilma Walker shares a story in the book called “Pieces of Faith”, it’s about how her ministry was uprooted from their building and left without a place to serve the people. Like a modern day Moses, Wilma Walker lead her members by faith, waiting several months for a “promised land”. Holding on to faith, The Clinic pastors and members finally moved into a predestined $1.6 million building.
The talented Candi Staton currently spreads a powerful witness for God, winning souls through her ministry and music. Although she was a chart-topper in secular music, her life still felt left empty until she gave her life to God. Her music ministry and wonderful guests were featured each week on her program, “Say, Yes!”. She recorded a dozen other gospel albums and hosted the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) weekly series “Say Yes” from 1986 to 2004.
Dr. Peggy Scott, author of “Life with Carolyn: A Magnanimous Journey“, talks about her anointed sister who would take the journey of life, touching lives nationally as a motivational speaker and preacher. Carolyn was a saint who would have given the clothes off her back in a snap of your fingers. She walked this earth and left an amazing impression on many through her ministry as well as her little sister.
Altogether, the event left a positive impression on the staff , store associates, and the panelists which were all in good spirits. Lives were touched that day, as well as those who have yet to experience the ministry of these determined christian women. If you have not bought their books and their music, please do so you too may have an ever-changing experience.
