Well all my fabulously frivolous fashionistas this episode is truly one of my faves. What can I say? We saved the best for last! I loved it when Dana said "legally I think we should pay for it." That's not what She Got Game is about; it's about free stuff and who doesn't want that? What about the pink jacket from Tahari? Truly a showstopper. A pop of color is sometimes all we need to change our moods. Plus it's a good way to turn a blah day into a winner! The coat is trendy as were the green moc croc and metallic pumps. But in my opinion Dana has the perfect date outfit: It says I like fashion and style and am not afraid of it.
Oh that dreaded style wall!! It is without a doubt one of the hardest challenges on She Got Game. (Remember, everyone: Style has no price.) Michelle seemed like she might just get through it but accessories (especially belts) are hard to crack. What might look like leather can be plastic, and what might look like an exotic skin could be stamped leather. So it takes a trained eye and a seasoned shopper to get through that wall unscathed. (At least Michelle got that cute belt!)
I just got through the spring collections in New York, and I can confident that belts are here to stay. Perhaps I should say waist emphasis is here to stay. We saw all kinds: thin metallic, wide leather and fabric sash styles. I firmly believe that a little waist emphasis makes everyone's figure look better (even thinner) no matter your size. It's all in the shape, fashion faithful! We often hear designers and fashion experts talking about a woman's "silhouette." A belt is all you need to give the outfit added polish and your body an hourglass figure!
Hello, dear fashion stars. As you probably have gathered by now, I am a strong
believer in the classics. Now my classics aren't of the musical variety
or the kind that hang on museum walls. No, my classics are sartorial in
nature -- I'm talking fashion people!

Okay, how chic was she? The perfect dress, the perfect make-up, and the perfect hair. Alley is definitely giving you all a master class on how to be effortlessly elegant! You don't need to be a Style Stalker to see she was a total stand-out! Alas, once again the style wall tripped her up. But you know what? I would have done the exact same thing she did. I never look at the prices so I can keep it all real, and let me tell you I thought for certain the metallic shawl was the most expensive. Oh well, at least she got a cute necklace!

Following is a list of items that will keep you front-row ready for the coming months. Hope you like it!!! Don't be afraid to send your questions or comments!

Every once in a while you meet someone that sticks with you! Renee was that girl for me. She was having sooooo much fun and believe me I was this close to giving her a hint so she could win that fab bag! I restrained myself in accordance with the unwritten game show host code of ethics! Seriously though that bag was so her! Couldn't you just picture her bringing that bag everywhere? It would be great for dinner with friends, work, and of course, the perfect date.

It's always so painful when you're rooting for someone to go for it all. I could tell that Cara really wanted the gunmetal shoes I enticed her with so when the spelling bee tripped her up I was crushed! (I'm sure she was as well!) This was the second time in She Got Game's history that challenge has done someone in.
James says it's never too early to think about your style.
When I ambushed Amy I had no idea what to expect. Her personal style seemed relaxed and a bit "anti-fashion." The Marc Jacobs shades she was shopping for gave me the first clue that there might be an inner fashionista waiting to be released! And released it was when I showed her the second prize. The metallic soft leather clutch made her eyes get a little bigger. The third prize, however, was really the kicker. The fabulous jacket will look ahh-mazing on her! The military khaki green will really compliment her hair and skin tones.
James tells us how to transition a favorite summer look into fall.
Trend alert: The long hippie dress!
We have seen it all summer on celebs like Nicole Ritchie, Kate Hudson, and Ashlee Simpson. It grazes the ankles, comes in a million different prints and looks great on young girls. But jut because summer is over do you have to pack it away? This style stalker says no way! I am here to break the rules and help stretch your dollar a little further!!! Here's how you take it into fall!

If you're going to play She Got Game you have to be up on your pop culture! The third question I asked Jo Jer was very difficult. Luckily she was a tabloid hound and came up with the answer immediately. (To be totally honest, I didn't even know the answer to that one.)
