Sasha Fierce stashed away her Louboutins and Pierre Hardy’s for her World Music Awards performance, opting instead for a pair of gold sandals by new brand Spring Shoes:

You’d think with Bey’s steeze, they’d easily be in the milli range, but surprise: Her Gold Fripalo Sandals are only $50 at www.myspringshoes.com!
Gold not your thing? The hot heels also come in black!

Hey, they’re cute and can hold up under a performance of Single Ladies?!?
I’ll take two!

*In other news USA Today conducted a short poll, asking readers what they think of Beyonce’s new uni-glove steeze. They say, “More than 700 USA TODAY readers weighed in, with most giving the look a thumbs down: 4% said “It looks like a fun new fashion trend, sign me up,” while 96% said “Leave the glove-wearing to Michael Jackson.”LOL!

Fashionista.com has scans of a recent spread in American Vogue profiling some of fashion’s brightest stars:

That’s right ladies and gents: not one, or two, but THREE non-caucasian models. On top of featuring confirmed star Arlenis Pena, they also give shine to Nigerian model Oluchi Orlandi and Indian Beauty Lakshmi Menon.
I must admit, my heart is warming slowly towards Vogue; in July 2008, they asked if Fashion was Racist, and after a resounding chorus answered, “YES” they started to make real strides to be more inclusive.
I might think about reinstating my subscription, but the real question is: Does this change your opinion of Vogue?

Today I decided to dig into the Fashion Bomb archives for Real Style I popped while still in NYC! I saw this young man at a party…

…and remember admiring his edgy essence; his haircut is brave, and he has no problem mixing a trendy fringed scarf with his own stylish red pants and red shoes.
Guys, what do you think?
Bisous!

I’ve heard from several sources in New York and elsewhere that this American Apparel Striped Hoodie:

…is the most copped item in the streets.
Do you know someone who has one?
Just wondering…

I don’t know about y’all, but when I was a young buck, I was obsessed with Barbie. The house, bubble bath, corvette, I wanted (and still have) everything!!!
So when I read in WWD that Barbie would be getting a fashion makeover for her 50th anniversary, I had to report!

They say, “Mattel is lining up new partnerships with Bloomingdale’s, Vera Wang, Jeremy Scott, IMG and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The company plans a runway show in February, as part of fashion week in New York, with 50 as-yet-undisclosed designers who will produce life-size outfits inspired by Barbie [including] a life-size wedding gown designed by Vera Wang, which includes a Barbie wearing a miniature version of the dress.” How cute is that?? I might have to make a return trip to NYC to see it!
Ah, I remember the days of putting grease in my Barbie’s hair. That didn’t really work on the blondes, but no matter.
What are some of your Barbie memories??
