Our buddies over at Stuff Fly People Like have the scoop on the hottest new label to hit the men’s urban fashion scene:
Durant by Robert Durant.
They say, “Like the Fly Guys, Durant believes the time is now to throw those oversized t-shirts away and replace them all with fashion knits that can be worn with a suit, slacks or a good jean. Its no longer just a t-shirt but a fashion knit.“
See more pictures here.
It seems Charlotte Russe is upping their shoe ante with affordable, chic options, like these $23 Python D’orsay Sandals:
The 4 inch heel might prove a little uncomfortable, but the price is right!
Check out this option plus more here:
If you were actually a fan of Rih Rih’s look yesterday, you can start with this Charley 5.0 Stretch Denim Dress from Intermix:
The $235 denim stunner boasts a sweetheart neckline, soft fabric, and an 11″ back zipper.
Get yours here.
Hey Y’all!
So I’m going on vacation! I’m hitting up the Big Apple tomorrow to catch up with my peeps (and to watch the Real Housewives of ATL), then going to the Bahamas for a family reunion. I’m sure you guys are traveling as well this summer, so in anticipation surf and sand, I’ve compiled 100 items any jetsetting fashionista should have on hand:
1. Flirty Dresses:
Who wants to worry about coordinating outfits in high heat? Make your choice easy by rocking fashionable tunics or mini dresses that are fab enough to make an impression, but light enough to keep you comfy:
2. Cool Shades:
A cute pair of sunnies can instantly upgrade your swagger. Experiment with different colors, shapes, and gradients:
3. Wedge Heels:
I’m always an advocate of a wedge heel that will offer comfort while making you look tall and svelte:
4. Statement Jewels:
Dress up your simple tunics with long necklaces, sparkly earrings, and big bracelets:
5. Lightweight Tote:
Cart your summer reading and important docs in a lightweight canvas tote that will reflect your fashionista spirit:
6. Flats:
Run in between terminals or saunter around the beach in a pair of stylish flats:
7. Swimsuits:
Pack your standby bikini and one piece, but also look into suits with cut out styles or embellishments:
8. Waterproof Makeup:
Look fly by the poolside in products that won’t smudge with a splash of water or sweat:
9. Cute Carry on:
I hate checking bags, so have invested in colorful yet compact luggage that can fit all my essentials and pop into an overhead compartment:
10. Summer Reading!
I can’t wait to turn into my newest issues of the New Yorker and Vogue on the beach, and of course I have fash-lit (“The House of Gucci“) to read on the plane! Summer is all about getting time to read the bomb novel, so get it poppin!
I’m off to pack!
In the meantime, tell me where your travels are taking you this summer;)
Smootches!

Keri Hilson was also on hand last night, wearing a white jacket with a black lapel, skinny gray jeans, and black booties:
Get her look with these high and low priced options:
So it seems all the rumors about a SATC Sequel are true!
Grant Wifley Casting is holding an open call for background performers for Sex & the City 2:
They say, “We’re seeking actors to play Fashion Models, Celebrity types, Upscale Socialites, Fashionistas, Urban Club goers, Gays and Lesbians, International types (Middle Eastern, Arabic, Asian, European, British), and Professional Soccer Players.“
That’s certainly a wide range of people, but I think the main requirement is that you’re fabulous!
The open call is taking place in NYC on Tuesday August 4th at Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street between 6th and 7th Aves).
Screen Actors Guild members are welcome from 10am-12:30pm. Everyone else roll out from 1:30pm-4pm.
If you can’t make the open call, e-mail a recent picture and contact info to sexandthecity2@gwcnyc.com .
I might just mail in my picture! One of my random life goals is to be an extra in a movie (no lie). How cool would it be to make a splash in Sex & the City!?!?
Newly engaged crooner Christina Milian popped up last night in NYC for a Grey Goose and BET event:
She went for a rocker/retro vibe with two toned hair and a patterned black and white shirt set off by a gray metallic skirt, red belt, and neon nails.
There’s quite a lot going on with the outfit, but her hot light wash denim jacket seems to pull it all together.
What do you think? Is it hot or does it make you go hmm….
Trendsetter Rihanna stepped out recently in a new look that even she doesn’t look happy with:
A blue doily like hat set to match her denim strapless dress and blue pumps:
She looks mad, doesn’t she? Granted, she’s probably more upset at the poparrazzi than her stylist, but who knows?
Fashion Forward Lady Gaga is known for rocking with out the box toppers:
Will you be following this trend?
Hey hey hey!
Looking to get your shine on?
