I’m a fan of the actress, the singer is ok, although I
can’t admit to knowing a song off-hand with the exception of Jenny from
the Block and as a designer, I never paid much attention -until now.
I went with my friends from Flirt! Cosmetics to hang out backstage at
the show for J.Lo’s fashion week debut of her latest line
JustSweet. As they made the models glamorous with lots of glitter

After seeing the show I must admit I loved nearly every piece. This
line, all priced between $49-100, is very me, full of fun, comfortable
and cute frocks that indeed go from day to night- like I most often do.
At the end of the show Marc proudly blew Jennifer kisses from the front row. It was really, just sweet.
