Last night’s Billboard Music Awards show included some watercooler-worthy moments, like Jordin Sparks‘ tribute to Whitney Houston, and a teary-eyed acceptance of Whitney’s Millenium award by her daughter Bobbi Kristina. And there were more sweet/funny/crazy moments, which you can read about here. But let’s talk about the fashion. Black and white seemed to be the theme du jour, with many stars donning black or white dresses or pantsuits. They looked nice, but black and white are such safe colors at an event like this. Amber Rose and Nelly Furtado both donned short white...  Read More..

I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt and this neon/fluoro/hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. I first saw the bag online on Savannah Brinson (Lebron’s fiancee). I own an olive green/black version of the bag and love it, and pink is my favorite color so naturally I had to have it, and finally managed to track one down. The color is several...  Read More..

Get them while they’re hot! And by that, we mean get them right now while they’re still in stores and not sold out. Because trust us, they will sell out quickly. The Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Platform Sandal was this summer’s hottest wedge sandal, (as seen on celebrities like Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Jennifer Hudson) and the blush pink, hot pink, turquoise and black patent versions didn’t last long in stores. Now the Super Dombasle is back for Fall, in a leopard-print version! These lightweight sandals feature a 6 1/3″ cork heel, leopard-print...  Read More..

Rihanna shagged up her look at the London launch of her Reb’l Fleur fragrance at House of Fraser. She wore a mod retro-style outfit consisting of a turquoise Antonio Berardi resort 2012 fringe top and pegged pants paired with off-white cat eye sunglasses, pink/nude Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps and pearl & gold hoop earrings. We love that she finally ditched the red ‘do in favor of a softer look – caramel brown curls pinned up and swept to one side. This is a more mature side of Rihanna and we’re liking it!

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 cork platform wedge sandal is the ‘It’ shoe for summer, and luckily there’s an option for every wallet! Of course Christian Louboutin seemed to launch the trend, beautifully, with the Christian Louboutin Super Dombasie Patent Leather & Cork Platform Sandals ($595). The shoes features patent leather, a thin ankle strap and a 6 1/3″ heel, though the platform is about half of the height, so it feels like your average 3″ high shoe. If $595 is too pricey for you, try the similarly designed bebe Leah Cork Wedge Sandal, ($85.99). These cork wedge peep toe heels...  Read More..

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 more surprised that after our initial shock there was awe and then the thought “Hmmm, those might be cute with (choice of outfit here).” Neiman’s description of these black, yellow and white pop-art sandals is that they’re “dramatic...  Read More..
