Ciara sizzled on the red carpet of the 30th Anniversay Moca Gala in a bold black dress and a hot pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pumps:

Get the mouth watering pair for $1,040 at My Theresa here:

Or hit up your local Zara. I swear I saw a pair of look-a-likes when I went there last!
Whatever you do you’ll be sure to turn heads in these studded beauts that can be worn with anything from jeans to red carpet worthy dresses.

AOL Stylist reports that Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry bags have been spotted at the Costco Warehouse Shopping Club at East 116th street in New York:

They say, “The new location currently has Chanel Classic Flap handbags available for $1,999…and they sold out of Louis Vuitton Speedy bags, regularly priced from $665 to more than $3,000, all three going for $589 a pop.”
Wow, talk about fast fashion! It seems the location also stocks Ferragamo and Tod’s bags.

New York Magazine reports that ‘shoe freaks’ have been calling Alexander McQueen’s offices, asking to purchase the ‘alien’ shoes he debuted on his Spring 2010 runway:

Though most eager stylistas are interested in the shoes as works of art, the article surmises that some would actually wear these clunkers as an accent to a cocktail a la Daphne Guinness:

After my bunion surgery, I have had a slight aversion to heels of any kind, but will make exceptions for practical pumps or the errant pair of L.A.M.B platforms.

But these just look painful.

Where do your toes go? Aren’t they heavy? And isn’t just the thought of tripping and breaking your leg enough to dissuade these diehard shoe lovers?

What do you think? Would you rock these?

Something tells me we’ll be seeing McQueen fiend Rihanna tottering in these tres soon…

The ever fashionable Cassie & Amerie were both spotted rocking Rodarte’s $3,688 Fall 2009 Collection Thigh High Boots:

While Cassie wore the boots in black with a chic cut out black jersey dress for a Nars event, Amerie paired the gray version with a whisper thin peach belted mini and a diva fur.

Nicholas Kirkwood had a hand in designing the beautiful boots, so of course they’re hot! Who wore ’em better?

TGIF!
Let’s solve some Mail Bombs!
First Renee says, “I love the dress, well the whole outfit that Halle, is wearing in this post!“

“Please tell me where I can find a budget friendly version of this dress?”
Yup, here are some options:

Sheena says, “Where can I find Rihanna’s Houndstooth boots?”

“…They’re so cute!”
Rih Rih is clearly a fan of Alexander McQueen, and chose his $1,045 Dogstooth boots for a Nokia Event:

In a Male Mail Bomb Keenan asks, “Where can I find the jacket Chris Brown wore on 106 & Park?”

Chris jumped on the Varsity Jacket trend in this $1,995 Balenciaga Jacket:

In a wardrobe query, Tia writes, “Hey Vuitton! I have an event coming up for school in December, and I was wondering if you can help me with finding a cocktail dress for under $100. Thanks!”

Vuitton says, “Hey Tia! I put some dresses together for you. Since it’s getting close to winter, you wanna focus on jewel tones more than pastels. And there’s a selection of dresses with structure or flow. Check it out!”

And lastly, you may remember Bombshell Shanté who asked us for outfit suggestions for her Vegas wedding ceremony. She recently checked in saying, “Thank you for the suggestions, you really gave me some great ideas. I decided to go with more colorful accessories. The earrings were the stars of the afternoon. I wish I could wear them everyday!”

Congrats Shanté, glad we could help.
For the rest of you, are you hitting up H&M for your Jimmy Choo fix tomorrow?
I’m kinda of ‘over’ the madness of opening day, but who knows…maybe I”ll pop in. Will you?
Smootches!

Is it just me, or has Forever 21 been stepping up their game lately? Needless to say, I’m pretty impressed with their collection right now and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this dress:

Asymmetrical shoulders have made such a huge comeback, so this dress is right on trend.  I’m picturing it with fierce platforms, black opaque tights, and a red lip.  And as hot as this dress is, it’s only $27.  A major steal!  Get it here!

While helping a friend of mine search for a dress, I came across this frock by Gabriella Rocha.  Immediately, my mind went back to the Betsey Johnson Burnout Striped Organza number that Angela Simmons wore on the red carpet at last year’s MTV VMA’s.

The resemblance between the two is undeniable, despite the difference in texture and the slight variation in the bodice.  Not to mention that Gabriella Rocha’s is a lot more inexpensive that Betsey Johnson’s; the former being $80, and the latter ringing in at $352.  I have to admit that I’m not mad at Gabriella Rocha’s version, but the Betsey Johnson one does it for me.

What do you guys think?

Though I’ve seen a load of over-the-knee boots this season, I have to admit that this has to be one of the fiercest boots I’ve seen in quite a while.  The unmistakable red sole and the bunched up leather give these Louboutin’s that distinctive tough chicness synonymous with the brand.

Hopefully, Santa pulls through this Christmas for you Bombshells that must have a pair.  These babies will run you $2,185.  Check em out here.

According to the Daily News, Andre Leon Talley and Kimora Lee will be joining the illustrious panel of judges on America’s Next Top Model:

Though Kimora is a veteran (serving on the board for Season 1) ALT will bring his fresh Vogue certified views to the program for the first time.
I’ll be honest, I’ve gone from planning my whole workout/evening schedule around seeing an episode of ANTM to not watching it *at all.* Knowing that the ‘Top Model’ on the show will probably not be a ‘Top Model’ in real life kind of diluted the experience for me. I’ve gone from “Who’s gonna win?” to “Who cares?“

BUT the prospect of seeing the turbans, glitter, and glamour of an ALT+ KLS collabo might make me tune back in.
What about you?
