Sequin 'it'!

Sequins are ‘it’ right now and if you are going to step up to this fashion trend either go hard or don’t go at it at all!  Keep in mind that doesn’t mean to go head-to-toe in sparkles (unless it’s a sexy dress), but keep it to one item per outfit – just make sure that item is a statement!



Gone are the days where full-on sequins were only used as some sort of costume or ‘in moderation on special occasions’. You will still get stares and whispers, but instead of ‘why is she wearing that?’ the whispers will be ‘where did she get that!’


Favorite ways to wear this trend are:


  • A sexy sequined blazer over a mini (like this one on LC)
  • sequin vest over jeans and a tank.
  • A sequined mini skirt with a dress shirt and blazer.

Christian Louboutin for…Barbie?



The mastermind behind that red sole that embodies luxurious footwear has teamed up with Barbie to create ‘Cat Burglar Barbie. I’m sure you can all agree when I say that this is one fierce Barbie!  Clad in a leather cat suit and sporting the Differa sandals, this Barbie definitely stole my heart the first time I saw it.  And to add fire to the fashionista flame, she comes with three more pairs of Louboutin’s, each with their own box and dust bag.
You can live vicariously through her for $150 here.  But Net-A-Porter.com is all sold out.  Keep checking until they’re back in stock.
BTW....This would make a nice christmas gift for me! ;-)

Splurge Of The Day: Christian Louboutin Over-The-Knee Boots


Though I’ve seen a load of over-the-knee boots this season, I have to admit that this has to be one of the fiercest boots I’ve seen in quite a while. The unmistakable red sole and the bunched up leather give these Louboutin’s that distinctive tough chicness synonymous with the brand.

Fashion Discussion : Would You Wear Alexander McQueen’s Alien Shoes?




New York Magazine reports that shoe freaks have been calling Alexander McQueen’s offices, asking to purchase the "alien" shoes he debuted on his Spring 2010 runway. Though most eager stylistas are interested in the shoes as works of art, the article surmises that some would actually wear these clunkers as an accent to a cocktail a la Daphne Guinness. Where do your toes go? Aren’t they heavy? And isn’t just the thought of tripping and breaking your leg enough to dissuade these diehard shoe lovers?


What do you think? Would you rock these? I think they'll make a lovely Vase...

Something tells me we’ll be seeing McQueen fiend Rihanna tottering in these soon…

Fashion News : Nicole Richie to Launch Contemporary Line


WWD reports that Nicole Richie is launching a new contemporary line called Winter Kate:

In the article she says, “It feels as though I’ve always been working on this collection, but officially I started putting it together in early 2009. I’ve wanted to design a clothing collection for a very long time.” The line includes mostly tops, vests and bed jackets in colorful vintage-inspired silk, crepe and chiffon and will range from $35 wholesale for a camisole to as much as $598 for the leather pieces. Apparently she created the line with the recessionista in mind, saying, “Fashion should be accessible. That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and remains my philosophy for Winter Kate.”
Cute!
