My New Designer Crush/Obsession!!

I'm currently obsessed and in love with Philipp Plein! Anything and everything he does is amazing!!
I've always been a HUGE fan of Rocker Chic, Blingie Skulls, Studs, etc!! And other then Alexander McQueen, in my opinion no one does the 'skull look' better then Phillip Plein!

Here's a look at some of his designs...

6 Hot Shoe Trends for Fall 2010!

I was so excited to be able to break out my boots yesterday, it was finally cool enough in L.A. to rock a pair of OTKB's! And today, is a cool 65 degrees and its a bit drizzly out, I LOVE it :) It's such a nice change from the 90-100 degree weather we've been having. There is finally that tinge of Fall feeling in the air :) In the spirit of Fall... here is a lil post I stumbled upon, featured in InStyle Mag!! I love these trends... Enjoy!


Biker Boots

These don't need to be black, as long as they have buckles or other hardware to project a tough attitude. Try them with leggings, skinny jeans or a short full skirt and tights in place of the flat riding version.











Pointy-Toe Heels
Complement this sleek sophisticated style with tailored separates, such as cropped cigarette pants, wide-leg trousers, skinny jeans or a pencil skirt, under a swingy top.
Kiltie Details
Heeled and ballet styles bring a feminine spin to the tasseled men's classic. Play up the dichotomy by combining with a floral dress and boyfriend cardi or skinny cords and a chunky sweater.



Blush Tones

This rosy shade brings brightness to any skin tone. And it's easy to pair with all your closet favorites, from fitted cargos and a blouse to silky pajama pants with a T.



Bright Suede

Select a close-toe model, and instantly perk up neutral office basics. Opt for a more elaborate design (and a nude pedicure), and you're ready for cocktails.




Black Strappy
The LBD of the shoe world, this uber-versatile pick goes with anything (Colors! Patterns! Solids!) and everything (Skirts! Pants! Jeans!). Try a platform for extra comfort.
