Beyonce and Tina Knowles launch Sasha Fierce clothing line
Beyonce at the 9th annual BET Awards.
Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles plan to launch a new junior apparel label called Sasha Fierce for Dereon, just in time for the back-to-school buying frenzy, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
The company looks to capitalize more on Sasha Fierce by using the name of the singer’s alter ego and third album, “I Am … Sasha Fierce.” The collection pays homage to the singer’s world tour.
The line will include sportswear and accessories. The jewelry, shoes and eyewear are really over the top, Tina Knowles said, while the clothing is a bit more subdued to make the accessories pop. Look for a one-shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversize collar, leggings and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material.
The collection is in addtiion to the Dereon junior label. The new line is edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude, Tina said. The line will be available at Dillard’s and Macy’s.
Vacation coming up? Follow these packing tips
I wrote a story that appeared on packing light and packing right for last week’s Sunday Life. With vacation season in full swing, we all need a reminder that we don’t have to take everything in our closet for a week-long trip — especially now with baggage fees and overweight baggage fees and oversize baggage fees. Even if you’re travling by car, why bother with a bunch of clothes that you’ll never wear. Take what you need and no more.
Today I came across a story from KOTV Channel 6 in Tulsa about high-fashion carry-ons. It’s a good complement to my story. So here are the links to both – Linda’s story and Tulsa story.
Chill out? More like thaw out
I drove home yesterday without air conditioning. My choice. I was so cold at the office that I needed that time to thaw out.
I had worn a flimsy feminine blouse with elbow-length sleeves and pants. Of course, that was the day the air conditioning vent above my desk blasted me from early morning to late afternoon. Even the papers on my desk were waving in the breeze.
I often wear a jacket to the office, even during the summer. But all the feminine blouses looked so cute this season that I bought two. And they are a nice change from another jacket.
Today, I’m back in a jacket. I needed the armor. Now if someone will please adjust the air conditioning.
