Hot Mamas Came Out in FULL FORCE at Madonna & Gucci’s Malawi Benefit Event!

OMG!  I’m here totally jealous at how AMAZING every single celebrity looked at Madonna & Gucci’s UNICEF event for Malawi last night. 
Seriously, I don’t think anyone had a (major) miss last night.  And from the look of things the only big names missing from last night’s event were Halle Berry, Beyonce/Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake.  Everyyyone […]

Spring/Summer 2008 Trend Roll-Over: Gladiator Sandals

“Trend Roll-Over” - this is when a trend from the previous year (same season) “rolls over” to the next year (same season). Take for instance, the fold-over boot that we previously discussed. That was totally a trend roll-over. I don’t know how I concocted this
term, but I like it. It […]

Real World Hot Mama Style: Featuring Kate

While browsing one of my social networking sites the other day, I happened to stumble upon the profile pic of a friend of mine, Kate, and immediately thought: ‘Wow! What great style! I love the entire outfit. It’s simple, yet super stylish, without being over the top.’ In other words, […]

Reader Request & Same Look for Less: J.Lo’s Platform Pumps

Faithful reader Yaya wrote asking for a ‘Same Look for Less‘ feature on J. Lo’s (didn’t she ask for people to stop calling her that? Oh well!) platform pumps that she wore to her baby shower recently.
Funny thing was I was going to do a Same Look for Less on the shoes when […]

ONLY Jennifer Lopez Could Pull This Off

ONLY J. to the Lo could wear high-heel PLATFORM pumps to her baby shower. Only her.

Good lawd…
So, do you think she was brought back down to reality and took them off once she got INSIDE the building?   C’mon Jenny, you can tell us the truth.  ‘Cuz there’s no WAY you’re (supposedly) carrying […]

Ah, so THAT’S where I’ve seen this style before!

In doing my research for my previous post on fold over boots, I read a description on a shoe website and it the nail right on the head on where I’d seen the style before:
On a PIRATE! Check out ‘Jack Sparrow’ chillin’ in his folder over boots:

I love the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies […]

Winter ‘07-’08 Trend Alert: Suede or Leather Fold Over Boots

 

With this ‘over the knee/thigh-high’ boot phenomenon going on right now, I’m noticing trend in boots now is the “fold over” style which (when the flap is folded down) reaches right around the lower knee area.
Unfolded, the flap covers the knee area. *Pauses and thinks a bit* Um…now, if you don’t want […]

Nine West Liatris Shoe Madness & The Runner’s Up

I’ve received a few requests on where one can find the gorgeous “Liatris” platform pumps by Nine West that I talked about a few months ago and unfortunately, I’m not having any luck finding them either–and I’ve been looking everyyywhere (even eBay!) The sale price when I found them back in June was […]

Found the Chocolate UGGs Australia boots!

Finally! After searching on many, many websites I finally, finally located chocolate brown Classic Tall UGGs in my size (remember you should order a size DOWN from your regular shoe size). I could have bought a pair from eBay, but everyone on eBay are over pricing for a brand new pair […]
