Leave it to the master of women’s footwear to create such a height-defying shoe. Christian Louboutin designed and created this pair of crystal-covered nude ballet flats complete with an eight inch stiletto heel! And a red sole, of course. They’ll be auctioned off for the English National Ballet (alongside other ballet-inspired designer creations from Giles Deacon, Erdem, Moschino and Julien Macdonald).

The 2010/2011 awards season is over but we can’t help but realize the impact Black Swan had on fashion this year.

The trend goes beyond ballet flats – there’s tulle skirts, pink satin and tulle dresses that would give Portman’s Swan a run for her money, ballerina baubles, and even ballet-inspired beauty products. We’ve rounded up the best in Black Swan-worthy ballerina fashion and beauty products...  Read More..

The neon craze of the eighties returns in a not-so-tacky way. Back then, colorful brights were worn in excess – layers upon layers of fluorescent clothes were accessorized by totally tacky accessories – jelly sandals and jewelry, charm bracelets, vented sunglasses and biker shorts.

Capezio’s studded ballet slippers are less pink tulle, more punk leather. Adorned with silver studs and a drawstring at the toe, these soft leather and suede slippers are ruggedly adorable; perfect for traipsing around...  Read More..
