Strut or Stomp

So, I was doing some online shopping last night #guilty lol! But, I was on Bergdorf Goodman and came across these extremely colorful & very flamboyant wedges. I have a hate/love feeling towards them. Personally, the colors are cute for a party or event where you'd want to stand out -I for one LOVE color and LOVE conversation pieces. Oddly enough these are Prada. They aren't the typical Prada shoe I'd fall for, but they're definitely fun & funky! So SRUT or Stomp?!

You Know the Drille

I always say there is a shoe for EVERY occasion, and contrary to popular belief... there's a shoe for EVERY season as well. Ladies, ya'll know what I'm talking about! That black leather pump you dust off to compliment that LBD all the time or the 2 inch platform for Girls Night Out and hit'n the city. Well, Spring is here & Summer is right around the corner -time to break out the espadrilles:-)

Queen of Diamonds

Elizabeth Taylor was born in London, England and lived an iconic lifestyle. She said many times she never wanted to be an actress, but was pushed by her mother into a career that made her millions of dollars. Elizabeth lived a much publicized yet private life including her eight marriages, several life-threatening illnesses, and decades as a social activist for AIDS. She was a two-time Oscar winner & one of Hollywood's most glamourous superstars. She passed away at the age of 79 of congested heart failure in Los Angeles, California.






"I'm a survivor- a living example of what people can go through and survive." 
- Elizabeth Taylor

Only Girl In The World

This April, beautiful Barbadian Rihanna is work'n the 10th Annual Shape Issue of VOGUE. The stunning floral Chanel dress from the pre-fall 2011 collection looks gorgeous on her! And I love Rihanna's hair red especially when it's actually done. The huge soft curls are my favorite, definitely a plus! They make her look less Welcome to Wendy's, may I take your order & more Disney princess Ariel... Also this is her first cover for American VOGUE... Love it!





Born This Way
