You Should Know : Shala Monroque

Hey Guys!

Today I wanted to profile a new Fashion Bomb worthy stylista on the scene, Shala Monroque:

Shala Monroque Fashion style

The young editor-at-large of Pop Magazine (and girlfriend to famously wealthy art mogul Larry Gagosian) has been busy on the party circuit, meriting a place as one Style.com’s Top Party People of 2009 and Who What Wear’s Girl of the Month, thanks to her fearless style, sick shoe collection, and indisputable beauty. We thought it was high time to see what all the buzz was about, and we weren’t disappointed!

For international fashion weeks, Shala brings out the boldness in vibrant colored skirts and simple shirts, punched up with tribal heels and chic statement necklaces.

Christian Louboutin for…Barbie?

Don’t let the words deceive you.

The mastermind behind that red sole that embodies luxurious footwear has teamed up with Barbie to create ‘Cat Burglar Barbie.’

CL-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.
