I can’t determine if these are totally genius, totally crazy, or both! But let me introduce you to this fashion hybrid I just found: Tamara Mellon’s Sweet Revenge leather legging boots. They are basically leather leggings and thigh-high boots, all in one. Think of them as sort of a very luxe, adult half-onesie. The designer […] Read More »
Is the new grey lipstick trend haute or not?
Should we blame “Fifty Shades of Grey” for making grey the ‘It’ color of the year? Grey makeup has always been a ‘thing’. There’s nothing wrong with a little grey eye shadow or liner to give your eyes that nice, smoky look. We’ve also embraced grey nail polish – in shades ranging from matte to […] Read More »
Haute or not: Iris van Herpen and United Nude “Thorn” Booties
We’ve featured – and worn – our fair share of funky, chunky footwear, but these really take the cake! Dutch fashion brands United Nude and Iris van Herpen collaborated to create these amazing, and slightly scary, “Thorn” booties, so named for their spiky, thorned heels.

Haute or Not: Givenchy’s Wool ‘Cat’ Hat
Last year crazy animal hats were all the rage. Cute as it was, thankfully (and hopefully) that particular trend is over, but still designers can’t resist being inspired by four-legged furry friends. For Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci has already brought us animal fashion in the form of a Rottweiler (as seen on Kanye West and Liv […] Read More »
Haute or not: Christian Louboutin “Police” Measuring Tape Sandals
We’re not sure if Mssr. Louboutin is just being cheeky or if he’s gained so much popularity among the fashion elite that he can design pretty much anything (and we fashionistas will totally buy it). Either way, we have to say we were surprised to see these Christian Louboutin “Police” Measuring Tape Sandals, and even […] Read More »
Haute or not: LeAnn Rimes in a crocheted Pucci wedding reception gown with matching bag
When MTV Style reported that LeAnn Rimes walked down the aisle last weekend in this crochet-knit, belly button-baring gown and matching crochet/fringed bag, we thought they were kidding. As it turns out, they were partly right. Rimes DID wear this gown/bag combo for part of her wedding to Eddie Cibrian; the reception part. And while […] Read More »
Weird winter animal hats – you decide: are they haute or not?
We first saw Khloe Kardashian sporting a hat resembling a stuffed animal around Halloween. We dismissed it as a cutesy costume, but then she took the look to the streets a few more times. Ke$ha, Lindsay Lohan, and Fergie have become fans of the furry and weird hats too, and voila – a new winter […] Read More »
Haute or Not – Leighton Meester in Christopher Kane
Leighton Meester came out to attend a special advanced screening of “Spread”, hosted by Gotham and Hamptons Magazines to support Gossip Girl co-star and boyfriend Sebastian Stan. The actress wore a piece from Christopher Kane‘s 2010 Resort (first-ever) pre-collection, which features amber-colored mushroom cloud prints from nuclear test explosions. (Kane took the free prints from […] Read More »
Haute or Not: Celebrity Headbands
Celebrities are channeling their inner Wonder Woman with headbands tied around the forehead. Vanessa Simmons and Aubrey O’Day opted for thin styles, while Nicole Richie rocked a wider version, a silk and crystal braided Stacey Lapidus headband. Mary Kate Olsen drew stares with her Marc Jacobs runway-inspired ‘halo’ headband worn around her head. These new […] Read More »
