Being at Fashion Week has intensified my love for anything Louboutin! A slick pair of red bottom shoes is an indelible part of the fashionista uniform. While compiling my wish list of must haves I stumbled across these Arielle A Talon Ankle Boots:
Scream!! There’s nothing like ’em.
At $1, 555, they’re quite an investment, but imagine how many fashion weeks you can get out of them! I’m feeling a summer splurge coming on…
Marvel at www.net-a-porter.com.
In between shows, I’ve been snapping pix of fashion show attendees of color:
Cute!
The young lady in the second pic is Kelly of Black and White PR. She’s wearing a vintage fox and mink coat. J’adore.
What do you think?
PS If you’re wondering about diversity at the shows: It doesn’t exist. Thus, one more difference between NY and Paris!
I’m not the only blogger in Paris, and I clearly don’t have an all access pass (yet)!

Michelle Obama just keeps the magazine covers coming, and definitely looks fab at each take. This time, she’s on the cover of O Magazine with Oprah herself–the first time anyone else has been on the cover in the magazine’s nine year history. With Michelle in Michael Kors and Oprah in Rachel Roy, the glamour literally jumps off the page.
Get yours on newsstands in April.

So we’re taking it way back today. I was probably 6 or 7 when this one came out, but I still blast on my iPod when I’m getting ready to hit the town. You know some of you love it!
Happy Friday everyone!

So as you can see, I’ve been partying it up a bit! Still, I always have time for just a few Mail Bombs.
Let’s go!
First Nene from the Chi says, “I love this dress Selita Ebanks wore to a recent event…“
“I have a gala in a month, and it would be perfect! Who designed it?“
Madame Ebanks has great taste, and is wearing this Spring 2009 Victoria Beckham sparkly strapless:
Strapless dresses must be super hot! Crystal asks, “Any idea who makes the dress that Ally (far right) is wearing and where I can find it?“
It looks like the Harlem Heights cast member is wearing this Black and White Stapless Dress by Betsey Johnson:
Get it for $400 at www.edressme.com.
Tionne from Mississipi loved Solange’s dress:
She says, “I need it now!!“
Lucky you, Solange shops on a budget. You can get her Thayer Metallic Strapless Drape Dress for $138 from ShopBop:
We received a ton of wardrobe queries, but I only have time to answer a couple!
Dana Nichole says, ” I was hoping you could assist me with locating some reasonably priced chic yellow ‘faux’ croc stiletto sandals. I have not been able to find any that give me that: ‘make-me-wanna-slap-my-momma’ (and dare her to say something or I might need to slap her again) kind of feeling.“
Sure! We searched and found you these Evelyn Snake Ankle Strap Sandals from Bebe:
At $159, they’re pretty affordable, and the snake gives off a croc-like exotic feel. Hope they work!
And lastly Anthonia says, “I went to Intermix yesterday for a pick me up and fell in love with this black silk layered ruffle mini skirt.“
” It was the perfect length and the ruffles were close to the body and not at all like an Ice-capades costume. The only problem is I’m a grad student on a budget – $295 just isn’t working. Do you know of any cheaper options?”
Get the look for less with this $65 Aqua Jersey Ruffle Tiered Skirt:
That does it!
If we haven’t answered your MB, take heart. We read each and every one and will get to them as soon as we can!
Keep checking back to the good old TFB…more shows and parties to come!
