While accessories designer Melody Ehsani might be better known for her hot three finger rings, she’s been designing shoes for years. While on her website, I fell in love with these $140 Kathy Shoes:
The coated canvas material has a 4 inch heel with a hidden platform for extra support.

Hey!
So with Rihanna always in the spotlight for her daring fashion choices, I thought it apropos to (finally) take a quick look at her long time stylist:
…Mariel Haenn.
The half Puerto Rican image sculptor is the stylistic force behind Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and “Hate that I Love You” videos, as well as the mastermind behind dozens of her red carpet, performance, and candid outfits:
Not limited to just Rih Rih, Mariel was recently tapped by Ciara, working with the ATL songstress for red carpet appearances as well as videos such as “Work” “Go Girl” and “Love Sex and Magic”:
Haenn has been known to work with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Meagan Good, Keri Hilson, Angela and Vanessa Simmons and even Lauren Conrad!
In an interview with Latina Magazine, Haenn said, “At first I thought I wanted to design clothes, but styling turned out to be more exciting. It allowed me to design the overall look and help create distinguished personalities for musicians and celebs.â€

Log on to Honeymag.com for the buzz on Asymmetric Styles:
They say, “...This sale season, consider on-trend pieces you can wear now and still rock as you transition into fall. One of our favorite upcoming trends that’s totally wearable now is anything asymmetric. The look is executed best in a solid color as not to distract from all the geometric business going on.”

A trailer for Vogue’s documentary, the September Issue, has hit Youtube:
It documents all the work entailed in putting together Vogue’s biggest issue of the year.
As a (clearly) fashion obsessed person, I cannot wait to see this!! Might be as exciting as the Devil Wears Prada!
Will you be lining up?
So I’ve begun to notice a handful of Bomb Celebs rocking big, look-at-me, bangs:
Expectant mother Kelis wore blond bangers in a magazine spread for Oyster Magazine, Sheree grew bangs to bless the second season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and J. Lo rocked hers on set for her new movie.
The style can instantly change your essence, adding a dash of mystery to your look.
While I 100% cosign a little side sweep action like Christina Milian:
Anything else seems a little severe:
I personally can’t stand hair in my face!

It’s the summer time, and of course we all like to showcase our cute toes in chic sandals!
At home pedicures are easy to do with the following goodies.
Follow these steps so your feet are at their best!
1. SOAK: Every great pedicure starts with a great relaxing soak with aroma therapeutic benefits. Try something with peppermint, lavender or rosemary to get skin and senses relaxed and revitalized. A great pick is the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Foot Soak in Tranquil Mint ($15 at www.bbw.com)
2. SCRUB: Tackle those rough spots with a pumice stone or foot scrub to get silky, smooth soles. Lippmann Collection Soul Mission Foot Scrub will deeply repair dry cracked feet and provide moisture at the same time. And it has yummy crystalized grapefruit that will also energize!
*If you need a little more than just a scrub, use Sally Hansen Just Feet Smoothing Pumice Stone in addition to the scrub for some heavy duty exfoliating. It also doubles as a foot massager!
3. TREAT: Cuticles need love too! Hook them up with Carol’s Daughter Lemon & Jojoba Cuticle Oil and push them back. (FYI…Mary J Blige and Jada Pinkett Smith are fans)!
4. MASSAGE: A pedicure isn’t a pedicure without a foot and leg massage.  To keep the minty freshness going, massage feet and legs with peppermint infused lotion like C.O. Bigelow Mentha Foot Cream. Skin feels refreshed and cool long after the pedicure is over. ($14 at www.bigelowchemists.com)
*Pssst…. If you’re headed on a date later that night try a sexy body cream instead like Benefit Touch Me Then Try to Leave Me Cream for use on ALL body parts. The end result is silky, smooth skin from the tootsies all the way up!
5. FINISH: Finish off the pedi with a great summer color from the Essie Summer Collection, which includes soft corals and nudes, with bursts of bright pinks and oranges. Pinks and oranges are the IT shades for the summer season!
BONUS: For extra pampering during a pedicure, try lighting a Banana Republic Beach House Candle for ultimate relaxation. ($24 at Banana Republic Stores)
