Splurge of the Day: Ruthie Davis Sushi Double Platform Mary Janes

I think I’ve found a new obsession: Ruthie Davis shoes! Sky high and gorgeous, the shoes come in a rainbow of colors–from neon pink and yellow to black and white with a twist.

I like these $895 Sushi Double Platform Mary Janes:

Discussion: What Do You Consider Plus Sized?

I was over at Glamour’s blog, and came across a good discussion they were having over the definition of plus sized:

In a photo shoot, they featured a woman they called plus sized who was actually a size 10– ‘real sized’ by most standards.

We’ve come across the same discussion before in a Plus Sized Style Spotlight about former ANTMer Toccara.

Readers were upset that we classified her as plus size saying, “Tocarra is NOT a plus size model. Tocarra is like a size 6 haha. She just has big knockers. But Im a big girl and I wear a 16…that’s plus size to us real women.”

Bold and Beautiful said, “I don’t think she is plus size anymore. Just my opinion,” and BRG said, “I don’t see anything plus sized about Toccara.”

In Hollywood, is everyone above a 6 considered ‘plus sized’?

And if that’s the case, aren’t we all plus sized?

Hot! or Hmm…: Kanye West, Andre Leon Talley, and Rachel Roy at the Vanity Fair Party in NYC

A few of fashion’s finest came out last night for a Vanity Fair Party in NYC. Some got it right, while others…hmmm…

Andre Leon Talley affixed an oversized Obama family pin to a double breasted military jacket topped off with crystal adorned black flats:

Supporting Obama through fashion is hot! but those shoes…hmmm…

Kanyeezie also showed up in a simple close cut black tuxedo, v-neck top and his own Louis Vuitton sneakers:

After the mullet, short shorts, and other fashion eccentricities, Kanye looks sexy and fresh dressed! Hot!

Last but not least, designer Rachel Roy shined in a orange off shoulder Rachel Roy dress and Louis Vuitton Spicy Sandals:

The sandals are always hot, but the draping on the dress makes me go Hmm…
