ShoeGasm : Men Christian Louboutin High-Tops

My favorite shoe designer, Christian Louboutin whom is mostly known for the hottest shoes with the red bottoms, recently let guys get in on the action. Christian Louboutin recently produced a line of studded high tops for his Louboutin spring/summer 2010 collection. The look is reminiscent of a studded Chuck Taylor, but the style is in a league of its own. Definitely a sexy upgrade to any mans closet. This shoegasm can run you for $1,200 retail. Rapper Pharrell was spotted with these high-tops early this year before they were released. It’s hard for me to not find a pair of red bottoms sexy! But would guys wear them? What your opinion?

Haute or Not : Brandy Rock Hip Hop Honors !!

Singer and Reality star Brandy from VH1’S Family Business was spotted in New York City this week for VH1’S Annual Hip Hop Honors Ceremony. I must say Brandy looked FABOLOUS, head to toe I think she has definitely located her inner Glam Goddess. Brandy chose an asymmetrical top, a sequined miniskirt, and champagne colored platform peep toe pumps. I love the complete look, the hair, make-up, and ensemble.

What do you ladies think of Brandy’s look Haute or Not?

One of the current Accessory trends that are receiving a lot of attention is Fall Fur. Adding a hint of fur to your accessories, whether it’s real or faux to your daily wardrobe, is a great way to add a chic understatement to your closet. Bountiful selection of fur such as, shearling, mink, fox, and even faux have began to invade accessory trends this season. Everything from Boots, Booties, and handbags are demonstrating this trend. Be sure to add this warm flair to your accessories this season. If you are worrying if these trends will last; relax these pieces are transitional and will add flair to any daily outfit.
