Happy Thursday!
Let’s start the countdown to Turkey Day…! Stars showed out this week in their fall best, incorporating pops of color even as the weather gets chillier.
Let’s take a look at their very best:
If Zoe Saldana doesn’t show off how fantastic yellow looks on brown skin, I don’t know what to tell you. Her Michael Kors Spring 2012 marigold double face stretch wool crepe sheath and cocoa triple strap sandals are simply divine. Give her her 10′s! I’m also ready to steal DJ Kiss’s full outfit. The denim and fur combo topped off with the pencil skirt is so fall perfect. Love! The men also represented–I love Ne-Yo’s well coordinated hues.
But who was your fave this fine week?
• Of all the collections that showed during Fashion Month, some fool stole Marc Jacobs Spring 2012. Just in time for press day, a fashion-obsessed thief took all the samples from the collection en route to Paris. The number of old transparent raincoats they’d have to round up to recreate that collection is almost too many to think of. (UK Telegraph)
• November 30:Botkier Fall 2011 bags at 60% off. Yes, this is real. (Racked)
• Marie Claire claims they heard about the Kardashian divorce the same time we did. According to Fashionista, the interview in their December 2011 issue clearly took place during their union, with Kim saying: “I feel like where [Kris and I are] right now is the best time in my life,” and, “We have a lot of trust, and I don’t think either of us would do anything to break that. It makes life so easy.” Upon learning about the breakup via Twitter and Facebook, the editors immediately went to work, changing the headline and rewriting the entire story. This information does not, however, make that marriage less of a sham to the rest of us. (Fashionista)
• Barack Obama is making out with Chinese politician Hu Jintao in a very photoshopped Benetton ad. Hmm, I miss the old ones with all the rainbow people laughing together. (USA Today)
• Here’s a video taking you backstage at Alexander McQueen‘s Spring 2012 runway show. The clothes are stunning, yet I am still fixated on all the cornrows being braided in a show that had exactly 0 black models. (StyleCaster)
Rachel Roy is an amazing designer…but do we like her style?
The beauty appeared at the Housing Works Fashion For Action Opening Night Benefit in a white button down and lace addled black skirt, topped off by a blue turban:
She added flourish with a silver necklace, statement bag, and a berry lip:
I’m not mad at this ensemble! Though I think perhaps a bit of a shorter hem would have made it a little more flattering.
What do you think?
At least once a week, we showcase the style of our male bombers!
Today, we have the dapper Shiz from Philly:
He screams, “I’M SEAN AKA “SHIZ” AND I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN WEST PHILADELPHIA..WITH PLANS TO WORK IN HOLLYWOOD VERY SOON…”
“…I DESIGN MY OWN FASHIONS AND JUST TRADEMARKED MY DESIGN BRAND, AN ACCESSORIES LINE..ALONG WITH THAT…I DABBLE IN MUSIC AND HAVE BEEN WRITING SINCE I WAS 12..” “MY STYLE VARIES FROM SWEATS TO COUTURE AND I LIVE FOR VINTAGE AND THRIFT SHOPS..”
“…I LOVE THE COLOR BLACK….BUT I CAN BE IN A TRENCH AND SLACKS ONE DAY, AND THEN IN A PAIR OF ADIDAS SWEATS AND A LEATHER JACKET THE NEXT…” “…I’VE LOST WEIGHT OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS… SO MY FASHION SENSE HAS GROWN AND I HAVE GAINED A LOT MORE INSPIRATION…. I CAN BE CONTACTED ON MY SITE www.mynameisshiz.com WHERE I BLOG, POST MY CUSTOM LOOKS, AND TALK ABOUT MY CLIMB TO THE TOP IN FASHION…”
I just can’t with the caps lock…but aside from that, you have a very tailored look. Give me that houndstooth scarf!

Teri says, “Please tell me who makes this Jacket…” “… and where can I get one? I am loving the studs.”
Taylor kicked it old school in this $300 Spiked Varsity Jacket from Brooklyn based line, The Wagon:
The red and white jacket is handmade with metal spikes carefully placed on each arm. Each arm has 250 screwed in spikes.
Hey, do you.

Rihanna’s style is coveted the world over and with each album, she totally reinvents herself. For her album, Talk That Talk, she is mixing 90′s street style with British punk, perfectly juxtaposed with her signature sensuality. She does it all while rocking high-fashion accessories and one such piece is from accessories designer Genevieve Jones:
The White Gold Bird Bracelet has been featured on Rihanna’s wrist quite a few times in the past month: in new promotional pictures for her album, on the cover of her single, “We Found Love“, as well as in the video accompanying the song. As one of the fashion industry’s most well-known style mavens and socialites, Genevieve’s pieces are simple yet chic. Vashtie Kola and Marc Jacobs are also fans of her brand.
Similar styles from Genevieve cost $1000, so this piece is quite the splurge. Visit www.genevieve-jones.com for where to buy.
This is definitely an abstract piece that does not look like anything else in your wardrobe. Rihanna is always ahead of the trends, but not many can achieve her looks. What do you think? Hot or hmm?
In SMH reality star news, Nene Leakes has done an Evelyn Lozada and placed a questionable catchphrase on a t-shirt:
If you watch Real Housewives of Atlanta (I’ll admit it…I do!), you probably remember Nene saying, “I’m Very Rich B*tch,” while in a shouting match with fellow cast member Sheree Whitfield. Oh, you don’t? Watch it here:
At any rate, ever the wealthy entrepreneur, Nene decided to use some of her “Trump Check” to put the phrase in bedazzled Swarovski crystals on the following tee:
The price tag? $150.
Though the likelihood of an actual rich person wearing this tee is quite low, perhaps a few Nene stans would rock this with pride. Hmph.
Would you?
