“They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes”

-Imelda Marco

Cars aren’t the only thing getting us around these days, our shoes are! What once started off as a simple foot covering is now an item of style, design and comfort. The development of shoes have come a long way. In as early as 1000 BC, the need for foot support was recognized by the Ancient Egyptians. As its purpose evolved, the idea of style seemed to dominate comfort. Today, shoes serve as a fashion statement, and designers know how to satisfy our cravings -for shoes that is.

Like people, shoes have character. The insole, outsole and midsole are just parts that bring it together. Every girl has a list of qualities they seek for in a man and the same goes, when seeking the right pair of shoes. Yes it’s true, we purchase our shoes according to more…

Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

It seems to be that whatever the time of year or fashion season, black remains in style and on the runway. Black will truly be forever fashionable.

Whether the trend is loose vests or short minis, you can never go wrong with black. It all seems to have started with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with her simple black. The reason is simple. Black is elegant and classy, and you can never go wrong.

Have you noticed that when you have an event to go to, you more often than not, choose black. Black is a necessity in everyone’s closet. When in doubt, you choose black because it’s right for most occasions. Whether you think about it or not, most of your wardrobe is probably made up of simple black pieces.

Sequins are a must this season, and one can always pull them off in black. Whether it’s a blazer or sequin mini, it always looks stylish and elegant in black and not too overdone. The reason most of us choose black over flashy colors is more…

She’s back!! Like Madonna and Christina Aguilera before her, Rihanna reinvented herself and her sound for a new album, Rated R, due out November 23rd. Donning a dominatrix inspired outfit on her single, “Russian Roulette” album cover, Rihanna wears a clenching flesh-colored corset with barbwire strategically wrapped around her exposed breasts, accessorized with a sexy, Zorro-like mask, cherry red lips, and a sleek Mohawk teased with new platinum blonde highlights. Good girl gone bad-ass.

Going for shock value, Rihanna released “Russian Roulette”, an eerie, edgy, and almost morbidly slow song as her comeback single written by singer and songwriter, Ne-Yo and herself. It opens with an electric guitar, followed by bass and the following lyrics; “Take a breath/Take it deep/Calm yourself/ He says to me…Take a gun/Count to three.” more…

The eighth album by California’s AFI should bring fans new and old together for the first time since 2003, when the band released their sixth album, Sing the Sorrow. These four men have perfected the balance between alternative rock and something smoother, more polished, and brought it to this season’s lineup. It’s been said that Crash Love went in the direction that Decemberunderground (the band’s seventh album) should have gone. I can’t quite agree with that though, as it’s that exact album that made me a fan. But with that being said, I do believe that the latest album has filled in any gaps that might have been there. The latest album is a huge departure from the band’s older recordings.

It’s been three long years since I last saw AFI perform live in New York. So when I initially heard the first fragments of “Medicate” (the first single off of the new album) I was hooked. It was hot, heavy, and just raw enough to keep me waiting with bated breath for September 29th, when Crash Love was officially released. more…

This season, fall trends are inspired by menswear pieces. The boyfriend blazer is becoming a big fashion staple of the fall wardrobe, while sequins add glam.

The blazer has been seen on the fall runways of Stella McCartney. Besides being functional in the upcoming fall weather, the blazer makes a big statement. One of the popular styles is pairing the blazer with jeans and boots. more…

Ke$ha

Trashed Tights, an Iconic Leather Jacket, and Messy Blonde Hair, together, form a sense of rushed wardrobe. Meaning that this female, which happens to be pop/electro star Ke$ha, didn’t even try to get dressed today.

To some people, this appearance of rushed wardrobe is unappealing and confusing, but to people such as myself that live in Los Angeles, this outfit epitomizes LA Fashion.

Hints of this trend are hinted in Ke$ha’s debut radio single, ‘Tik Tok’, where in the first verse she mentions the ideals of rushing out the house with no care of what she looks like.  more…

That’s why today, so many woman are in love with their closets! Why is that after a bad breakup, a 9 to 5, or that never ending to do list, we reach out to materials for guidance? Whether we’re adding a new garment to our collection or a pair of earrings to our jewelry box, the idea makes us feel “re-invented.”

Without speaking verbally, textures, colors, patterns and materials have a way of communicating with us. Needless to say, our way of responding is usually through our wallets. But who’s to say all women are materialistic? more…
