Kourtney Kardashian: Pretty, But With Ill-Fitting Furs


The Kardashian sisters, once again, are very pretty women and wear very nice clothes. In terms of fashion best, the best-dressed in Kim Kardashian, next is Kourtney Kardashian, and last is a close third: Khloe Kardashian. But right now... I don't know what's going on with Kourtney.

She attempts to be fashionable in leopard, only she falls short with not one, but both items (shoes and coat) being way too big. Kourtney appears to be swallowed up in this Funktional Leopard Fur Coat ($770) with the sleeves too long, and take a close look at her heels; the back of it has too much space, that creates the tendency of the shoes to sometimes "plop on, plop off..."

But hey, she still pretty.

CHRIS BROWN 'Heard' Me; Went Back To Swagg

Remember that post I put up about Chris Brown's uggggggly boots...shoes... SHO-BOOTS... I still don't know what it is. But Chris Brown was spotted hosting a party in Decatur, Georgia wearing some appropriately loud hip-hop clothes. It's a good look on him. He was wearing TI$A cap and sneakers ($125).

I would wear it; I could...


Check out Chris Brown FAIL the other day with them boots...

*LOLOLOLOL*

DIDDY Rocks Maison Martin Margiela Distressed Jacket

Hey everyone, got a bunch of things on my agenda so I'm doing a couple of fly-bys today; I passed by UpscaleHype and found this: Check out Diddy wearing a nice, antiqued Maison Martin Margiela leather jacket ($2,195). Would you wear this and go ROCKER and BONKERS? :-)

Diddy is really feeling that '80s/early '90s vibe with the haircut he's showing off.

STYLE REVIEW: Kim Kardashian

We know about the Kardashians, people try to keep up with them...they just aren't keeping up with the Joneses anymore because the Kardashian sisters seem to be the ones to follow. In this world of reality TV, many people have this urge to see so much of behind the scenes with family, and that really gets cable ratings going up..well...it depends on the show. Some shows just SUCK. But that's besides the point.

So, I've been watching Kim Kardashian's style for a little while since I see her...hmm... just about everywhere, from what she's wearing to who she's dating now. But let's focus on the fashion. Kardashian has got a lot of women sprucing up their looks to look good for their man, while the name 'Kardashian' is easily mentioned when the subject of fashion and beautiful women/female stars pop up.

Kardashian, to me, has a very reserved style, not too many loud colors, and every piece she wears together as an outfit seems to be cohesive--most of the time. She shows a lot of skin surely, but her sense of style remains consistent among 'borderline conservative' (if that's the right word for it)...

Peep her styles below:

Kim Kardashian in Christian Louboutin 'Alta Bouton' ankle boots ($1,495),
Chanel bag & black gold-studded sweater
(SIDEBAR: Ciara is wearing a $6,200 BALMAIN blazer!!!!)


Ms. Kardashian is well on her way to FASHIONISTA status..

Leslie Nielson

Leslie William Nielson born February 11, 1926 passed away November 28th 2010. He appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters. One of the greatest dry comedic Actors of our time. Although I do remember seeing him in episodes of The Twilight Zone. He could play the serious role along with the comedy.
In Airplane where he says "Surely you can't be serious?", he responds with a curt, "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." In several interviews he later reflected on the significance of the comedic line: "I thought it was amusing, but it never occurred to me that it was going to become a trademark. It's such a surprise...the thing comes out, people say, 'What did he say?!'"
The Naked Gun(Series) was great along with Wrongfully Accused. I also liked The Poseidon Adventure, Creepshow and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
He was married to Monica Boyer,Alisande Ullman,Brooks Oliver and Barbara Earl.
Nielsen had two children from his second marriage, Maura and Thea Nielsen.
Nielsen stated in several interviews that he had a few medical problems such as hearing impairment. He was legally deaf and wore hearing aids most of his life. Because of this impairment, he publicly supported the Better Hearing Institute.Leslie Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Dr. Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB Radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends.
He will be missed...

TRINA Goes Red-Head; New Throwback Trend

Rapper TRINA is apparently following in Rihanna's footsteps--well she usually does-- but it doesn't look bad on her at all. Are there any ladies going RED, all shades of red, for 2011? I know my hair won't be red---duh-- but it'll sure be crazy, crazy , CWWWAZZZY!!!

DRAKE in Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket


(Just doin' a fly-by) Drake was spotted at Hot 97's Thanksgiving Concert with Nicki Minaj. While i'm here talking about them, I can't stress enough that even though I feature celebs and music artists, I don't talk about their music or whatever it is they do, I just look at the fashion. Drake was wearing a limited edition Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket with fur lining interior and on the hood for $900. Like the coat, Detroit?

DAVID BECKHAM in Denim Miltary Shirt (Must-See!!)

This look caught my eye, a nice denim shirt worn by David Beckham that we guys can wear when we're just chillin on the couch, out with friends, even under an evening blazer for a nice dinner. A denim shirt really defines the word "CASUAL." The shirt is so-named "Burberry Prorsum stonewashed denim shirt" for $275.

You can find PLENTY anywhere for less: Old Navy, Target, Gap, even a THRIFT STORE. But the shirt doesn't even matter if it doesn't fit right. Make sure that your denim shirt is as close to your body as possible. TOO BIG is not a good look.


SWEEET Studded Chuck Taylors Worn By Avril Lavigne

Check out Avril Lavigne spotted out shopping wearing these dope leather Chuck Taylors with studs ALLLL OVER IT. It's priced at appx. $200+ . I think it's worth it, for both male and female, if you could rock these shoes with slim/fitted jeans (SLIM FOR GUYS, FITTED FOR FEMALE) and a SWAGG-ful leather bomber jacket. For accessories, maybe a studded bracelet or silver watch.

For Detroiters, you can probably find these exclusive Chuck Taylors in some sneaker boutiques or high-end department stores.

Okay, I'll be back for STYLE REVIEW shortly...

LeBron James' Fiance Throws Down For Thanksgiving!

We know that in a world full of groupies (I'd call that Miami), many wives, fiances and girlfriends of professional athletes have to work extra hard to maintain their image and sexiness to appeal to their husbands. But not SAVANNAH, Lebron James' fiancee. She is dressed down, down, down-to-earth with a scarf and a nicely worn plaid shirt. Check her out:



I don't think SAVANNAH has to worry. With that delicious food that she cooks (and she really does cook), Lebron ain't ever leaving. That's a very good bet.

Justin Timberlake

Justin Randall Timberlake was born January 31st, 1981. It seems as if all the ladies love this guy. Pop singer,Actor, got his start on Soul Search and in turn went to The New Mickey Mouse Club. Thats where he met JC Chasez. Then he went on to 'N Sync, a popular boy band from the 1990's.
Justin was born in Memphis, Tennessee son of Lynn Harless (née Bomar) and Randall Timberlake. His paternal grandfather, Charles L. Timberlake, was a Baptist minister, and Timberlake was raised Baptist, though now considers himself more "spiritual than religious".
Justin's parents divorced in 1985, and both are remarried. His mother, who now runs an entertainment company called Just-in Time Entertainment, remarried to Paul Harless, a banker, when her son was five. His father, a choir director at a Baptist church, has two children, Jonathan (born c. 1993) and Steven Robert (born August 14, 1998), from his second marriage to Lisa Perry. Justin's half-sister, Laura Katherine, died shortly after birth on May 14, 1997, and is mentioned in his acknowledgments in the album *NSYNC as "My Angel in Heaven." Justin Timberlake grew up in Shelby Forest, a middle class crime-free suburb between Memphis and Millington.
Early in 1999, Justin Timberlake began what eventually became a high-profile celebrity relationship with fellow pop singer Britney Spears, with whom he had worked on the New Mickey Mouse Club. This relationship suddenly ended in March 2002, amidst tabloid press speculation on Britney Spears and her infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson, a mutual friend of both Britney and Justin's. Lynn Harless says as a mother she too was devastated regarding the break-up, but to this day speaks warmly of Spears, "Britney grew up on my living room floor. I still love her to death. They (Justin and Britney) were together 10 or 11 years and had, from day one, instant chemistry between them. She's a sweet girl. I just hate what she's going through now." The breakup influenced the lyrics and theme from Justin. My favorite hit song by him "Cry Me A River", one of the most popular singles from Justified.
Post-Spears, Justin Timberlake has generally refused to discuss his personal life with the media, as a result of which his relationships have been the subject of much speculation in the tabloid and celebrity press. He was involved with singer-actress Stacy Ferguson prior to 2001. He was romantically linked with actress-dancer Jenna Dewan (in mid-2002) and actress-singer Alyssa Milano (between September and October 2002). Justin began dating actress Cameron Diaz soon after they met at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in April 2003. Regular rumors of break-ups reported in the tabloid press were either ignored or occasionally denied. On the December 16, 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live, Cameron Diaz introduced Justin Timberlake as the night's musical guest, and the couple officially split shortly there afterwards. After the tabloid press alleged an affair between Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson, with whom he had shot the video for his single "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around Interlude", Cameron and Justin issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007:
"It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another."
Later in January 2007 Justin was linked to Jessica Biel when pictures surfaced of the two snowboarding in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival. On May 12, 2007 romantic pictures of Timberlake and Biel on multiple dates were published. In the August 9–15, 2008 edition of Heat magazine, when Timberlake was asked to describe his perfect woman, he replied "About 5ft.7in.-5ft.8in., nice butt, Midwestern American, kind-of-German last name, green eyes, big pouty lips, fair skin, ahhh....sinewy bod..." However, during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 11, 2008 when Jay Leno questioned him about anything related to rumors of engagement and pregnancy, Justin jokingly responded that he "is engaging in a conversation with Leno" and "everybody in general can get pregnant."
Timberlake was given Sexiest Man titles by Teen People and Cosmopolitan magazines. On February 17, 2009, Justin Timberlake was named the "Most Stylish Man in America" by GQ magazine.
Timberlake is also a fan of English Football Club Manchester United.
Of course how could I forget the Janet Jackson Super Bowl exstravaganza. To learn more about this(click here).
 Here is my favorite song by Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River"

KANYE To Release Fragrance/Collaboration With LANVIN

Quick and brief news: I was browsing the Internet and I came across this news source about Kanye West releasing his own fragrance, "so you can smell like him."

Makes you wonder what he smells like. THE OLD SPICE MAN?? I don't know, but anyway...

When I look at all of these celebrities releasing their fragrances, I wonder if they smell exactly like their fragrance (it's not a dumb thought; just plain curiosity) because some of the scents that I have smelled... stinks.

Kanye is presently working with Parlux Fragrances, a limited but renowned fragrance company which makes colognes and perfumes for many celebrities of late. He is also working with LANVIN for a high-end collaboration, which I'm sure will be really nice because West has revitalized the traditional Louis Vuitton with his sneakers, T-shirt, and bag collections (see pic below) .

Wow, seems like Kanye is steadily becoming that "artist," not just of music, but bringing arts and fashion to the masses..

CONVERSE Soho Shoe Store Display Largest Of Its Kind

Converse Soho Store - A Look Inside

CONVERSE will open their Soho, New York store on November 26th, a perfect time for Black Friday; you know the place will be packed. Plus, this store caught my eye because it will feature the largest shoe display of its kind: An American flag MADE ENTIRELY FROM CHUCK TAYLOR SHOES.

Here's the press release below:

The shop will carry the largest Converse footwear offering worldwide, which by itself is already pretty impressive. The shoe wall, leather area and apparel area is also looking good. Most interesting is for sure the customization section, where you will be able to give Converse sneakers your own personal touch.
“The store’s design features speak directly to Converse’s distinct sport and rock ‘n roll heritage. Converse worked with New York based architecture firm Jennifer Carpenter Architect to preserve as much of the original details of the 110 year old building as possible. The single floor retail space is approximately 7,000 square feet using several reclaimed and natural elements to create a vintage inspired feel. From old gymnasium bleachers and recycled wood flooring to re-used Brooklyn factory parts and iconic New York City imagery, all in-store elements blend to create authentic design details. Tying back to the brand’s 102 year old American heritage, a 13-foot by 35-foot American flag made from 648 pairs of red, white and blue Chuck Taylor All Star shoes will welcome visitors and can be seen through the storefront window.
Taking center stage of the space and the first of its kind is a 40-foot wall featuring an expansive Chuck Taylor All Star footwear collection. White tiled walls throughout the space pay homage to the New York City subway, creating a unique backdrop for the new denim collection, which features 24 styles for women and men.”



NICE HUH?

Think of that shoe display... The CONVERSE Wonder Of The World ... Or could anybody break this record?
