Gabourey Sidibe Covers Ebony

Be sure to pick up the March issue of Ebony magazine with Precious star, Gabourey Sidibe on the cover.

"I wake up with myself every morning, so the only opinion that really matters is mine," -- Gabourey Sidibe

In a league of her own, she has definitely defied the “classic beauty” image in today’s movie industry. Yet, she possesses the kind of inner strength, courage and freedom that most of us would love to call our own.

Haha @ Tiger Woods on Ebony.

Fashion Is Always Now: Chanel's Haute Couture Show

"Fashion is always now." -- Karl Lagerfeld

That's what Karl Lagerfeld replied when told that one spectator described the pieces in the show, "futuristic".

While Haute Couture carries on in Paris, Guardian asks if Fashion is seen as Art?

The colours, Lagerfeld said, came to him in a dream. It had taken 200 hours of work to fashion the airy cape out of 200m of tulle, and 350 hours in the Maison Lesage specialist embroidery atelier to embroider the sequins, pearls and crystals onto the front, back and sleeves of the dress. -- [ SOURCE ]

Oh You Done Meshed Up Now!: Christian Louboutin Madame Tall Boots

So after my rant this morning on twitter about how Saks had the ordacity to notify me of their 70% off online only sale when over 70% of the items were already sold out! *hmmmppphhh* I still mosied around the site and they have a lovely flash player of their new Christian Louboutin Spring collection, titled "Prepare for a sole-baring Spring" *owwww* And lo and behold the Christian Louboutin Madame Tall Boots come strutting around the corner! Hunny these boots are L-I-V-E! Do you hear me?! They are not the best shoe just on display but on foot the Christian Louboutin Madame Tall Boots come to life. I suggest you peep the little interactive video of them to see for yourself.

So the Christian Louboutin Madame Tall Boots covers the entire leg in a peek-a-boo mesh and leather trim. They have a covered stiletto heel that measures in at 5" and a 1/2" hidden platform. I absolutely luve the boots and the lack thereof material, it gives the boot an undeniable sexy edge that will definitely have your feet be the topic! Now if I just can get someone else to let them appear on THEIR credit card statement we'd be good! *giggle*

A Perfect Canvas: Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Canvas Pumps

I'm sooo smitten over the YSL Tribtoo Canvas Pumps. Quite honestly I was over YSL Tribtoo's, I mean really they are a platform pump that they variate in color and come in leather, suede, or patent leather right? I mean other than saying that you have on some YSL Pumps what originality did they bring to the table. But my oh my!

The YSL Tribtoo Canvas Pumps are just the "new new" that the line needed. I absolutely luv a canvas shoe. I remember I purchased a pair of Michael Kors pair a few years back and made the drastic mistake of letting my cousin wear them and some how or another by the time I remembered that she had them *she had them so long* and I asked for them back the canvas was coming apart and...I can't, this may make me call her and lay her out, again. Moving on, these YSL Tribtoo Canvas Pumps are all that and more. The shoe is featured in a yellow canvas round toe. It has leather piping at the throat a 5.5" heel and a 1" hidden platform. I luv everything about this shoe...can someone send them to me ASAP!

The Michael Kors Python and Leather Sandals have brown and cream python and white leather cross-over multi straps. They also have silver-tone rivet detailing through out the straps of the sandals.

Michael Kors didn't stop at the straps with his python and leather collab the insole and sole also features the sexy material.

Swimwear, Tunics & Rompers Oh My: Luxe Leisure

Kasey writes:

The GAP’s older, wiser, and more sophisticated sister Banana Republic is taking a page out of the top designers hand book by introducing a resort collection. What makes this capsule collection great, and unlike the designer lines is that it will be available and rotating designs year round. The year round "Luxe Leisure" line will be comprised of 40 pieces including swimwear, tunics, and rompers with prices ranging from $30 to $100. Information on the line is still developing, but the line looks to be an in store only option, and according to reports will only be sold in warm weather stores, which I’m assume are warm winter vacation destination. In addition to the warm weather stores I’m also hearing that there will be limited findings in select stores which usually means large cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. So fear not when you’re on a winter vacation in Hawaii, Florida, etc you can find a swimming suit and cover up appropriate for the trip courtesy of Banana Republic.

Fernando: Christian Louboutin Fernando Sandals

The gracefully designed Christian Louboutin Fernando Sandals are a modern caged platform style sandal in a shiny patent leather criss cross straps that were designed to graze the ankle perfectly.

Stats include a 4 3/4" covered heel and a 3/4" platform. It is an open toe sandal with an exposed back zipper. And available on pre-order in 3 different colors; black, white, and nude. I'm more fond of the nude than the other two colors. Nude allows for versatility while playing with different wardrobes colors. I've never been a fan of a white pump and I almost break out in a hive when its that time of the year for the all white parties and I see thee most hideous white sandals imaginable. *ewwww* When it comes to the straps these can go for a day in the office or a night out on the town. Do you like them?

Kanye West Slides Into Paris In Christian Louboutin Slippers & Pharrell Williams In Spiked Christian Louboutin Sneakers

We all know Christian Louboutin for its towering heels showcasing its sole-ful red sole, but Christian Louboutin says don't keep us in a box we are for man and woman! Kanye West was recently spotted at the Yves Saint Laurent fashion show in Paris wearing a pair of spiked out Christian Louboutin slippers for men.

*I'm not even going to get into what Amber has on this time around, whooaaa!*

The spiked out Christian Louboutin Tuxedo Slippers are apart of their men's collection which isn't set to drop until Spring/Summer 2010 but why wouldn't we expect Mr. Ye to have his hands on a pair. If you are interested in these babies for your man, they will set you back a cool $1200 or so when they do drop. *yeah right, imagine that* My grandma always told me never buy a man two things: a pair of shoes or he will walk right outta your life or a watch cause he'll never have time for you lmao! Thats a good enough excuse for me.



Now sexy Pharrell was seen much earlier with a pair of spiked out Christian Louboutin Sneakers. These sneakers are also apart of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection and can expected to be around the same price. Now I like these, hell I would even cop them for myself if they came smaller, and was in the budget *giggle* oh and *waving* heeeyyyyy Pharrell! *muah*
