Boohoo: I Smell A Lawsuit!

I'm SICK of the knock-off version of Louboutin's circling the internet for a quick buck; and I know if I'm sick of it, Christian Louboutin is done!

Anyway.

I was browsing the net when I came across the $70 shoe offered by Boohoo.com, and its an exact replica/knock-off of Christian Louboutin's "Daffodil Pump"! Peep the comparison below:

This is just NOT acceptable, and knowing how Mr. Louboutin JUMPED on YSL for having a red soled shoe, I know he'll be coming for his check from Boohoo.com pretty soon!!

YES!: Chanel Iman Dancing on a Stripper Pole

Well.. Those are the headlines I woke up to this morning, and when I read it I thought for sure, "Not My Chanel Iman", but sure enough it was little sweet and innocent Chanel Iman.

After watching her as the leading lady in Usher's "Dive" music video, I knew she was growing up, but then there's this, letting me know Miss Iman is coming into her own, and doesn't care who knows it! At least the video was done tastefully!

Find out logistics after you watch the stimulating visuals below:

 
Chanel Rising on Nowness.com.

From StyleBistro:

When supermodel Chanel Iman recently told fashion photographer husband and wife duo Dusan Reljin and Hilde Pettersen Reljin that her new favorite hobby is pole dancing, they immediately thought to make a short video.

With an aura of neon lights and a seductive stare, "Chanel Rising" is a short film published today on NOWNESS that shows the model in a way we've never seen her before—pole dancing.

 “We wanted all the colors to be very primary, saturated and strong, so that the whole thing would be very powerful,” Dusan told NOWNESS. “Even though she is doing something very exotic and visual, the color schemes that we used make her part of the environment.”

My FAVE Looks from London & Milan Fashion Week! [So Far]

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013.

Didn't LOVE the presentation, maybe I'm just not into the print. However, if I had to choose, these would be the best from the show.

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2013.

Love the color palette, and the fabrics. However the silhouettes aren't as conventional as I would like. AMAZE shoes though!!

Fendi Spring/Summer 2013.

picture via StyleBistro

Love EVERYTHING! From the color palette to the not so body-con dresses that are still giving a shape, I love it all. Fendi gets it this Spring!

Gucci Spring/Summer 2013.

picture via StyleBistro

I would have LOVED to see Gucci do pieces, suits, and separates like they showed for their Men's Spring Collection. They really hit the nail on the head for the men. However these unshapely dresses are screaming Lanvin S/S 2012, and just aren't enough of a push for Gucci.

Jil Sanders Spring/Summer 2013.

I haven't heard many things about this designer, but when I ran into the collection, I had to give my thoughts. I like where some of the pieces are going; on one hand they are everyday-girl-looks, but then some of the pieces are for a certain girl only. Either way I think I'm a fan.

Elena Miro Spring/Summer 2013.

I had no idea this was a "Plus Sized" line until I read further up on it. I guess they're plus sized compared to the sample sized models. Anyway. I love the collection, even if it does remind me of the dress from Alice & Wonderland that she wore at the Evil Queens house.

Moschino Spring/Summer 2013.

Im here for the ode to the past in regards to the shape, hair, and accessories. What I dont particularly love, is the fact that it doesn't look like a SPIN or TWIST on an era; it just looks like costumes. It doesn't look as if the line was 60's inspired, it just looks like it's from the 60's. Nothing revolutionary.

Prada Spring/Summer 2013.

picture via StyleBistro

I don't, or maybe I can't appreciate this. I'm not sure what's happened here, but I need answers!

Versace Spring/Summer 2013.

picture via StyleBistro

I literally had the HARDEST time choosing my top 6 pieces because there were so many amazing dresses. Versace hasn't disappointed me in a while, and I'm still satisfied going into 2013! You guys HAVE to see the complete collection!

Missoni Spring/Summer 2013.

picture via StyleBistro

This is Period Fashion done correctly! It's reminiscent of a certain era without being a costume piece from that era! Not to say that I'm a FAN, but I do appreciate some of the prints and patterns presented.

You Need A Fashion Shower!

About 2 days ago, I began following Nicola Formichetti on Twitter. He is most widely known as the new creative director for the French fashion house MUGLER, and for being a frequent collaborator with singer-songwriter and performance artist Lady Gaga.

Anyway.

He tweeted:

So of course I had to go search and listen! What I heard was pure AMAZEMENT! I wanted to share this little piece of fashion music heaven with you guys!! Enjoy!!

 

Look of the Day: Kim K's Floral Peplum Dress

Kim Kardashian (Bauer Griffin)

Kim Kardashian went for a shopping trip in Melbourne wearing this black peplum dress with a fiery orange flower print.

Sure sure, the peplum thing may have worn out its welcome, but something about the simplicity of Kim's look really made us swoon. Her favorite pair of sexy minimal heels were all she wore to complement the dress. No over-the-top accessories and no Kanye-esque leather, just a pretty summery style.

What do you think? Is this Ms. Kardashian at her finest or do you prefer her with a heavy heaping of glamour?

Well guys, it was a great day in Atlanta when I was finally able to preview the collections for TOPSHOP/TOPMAN at Nordstroms. Atlanta was 1 of only 12 U.S. cities to receive the collections, which made this experience even more amazing! I love exclusivity.

Anyway.

Are you a fan of Topshop and Topman, but don't have a store near you? Get excited! Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com will start selling Topshop and Topman merch. That's right—British fast fashion is coming to an all-American department store near you, or at least to your computer.

The premiere was cute! Complete with a DJ, Make-Up & Hair, Step & Repeat, Photographers and even digital interaction with associates armed with iPad's snagging all of the haute fashions from consumers and posting them on their instagram (nordyshopatl).

Black Minimal presented by: KJohnLaSoul.com

Most of you that have been with my blog for a while, have checked out my sidebar by now (or at least you should have); and have seen "KJohnLaSOUL" under my Blog Roll. Well, I was gathering inspiration recently for some sketches I'm doing, and I came across this absolutely chic and totally Fall Fashion Moment from his site/blog and I just HAD to share it with you guys!!

So, take it all in!

KJohnLaSOUL writes:

I’ve been on this “all black” kick these past few weeks. It could probably be because of me always having to rush out the door and black is the quickest and easiest thing to put together. This button-up has to be one of the riskiest pieces I have in my closet and it’s all thanks to Bobby. I met my friend Bobby of Bobby Day a year ago and he’s been my boy ever since. Everything he designs is what I dream of having in my closet. Which is why I had to have this sheer panel shirt from his “Trade” collection.

It's Black Excellence, Opulence, Decadence at its finest! I love everything about this ensemble! It's totally my new steez for the Fall/Winter season. Check out more pictures from this clash of fashion titans below!

The Sloppy Bun Evolves!!

(Getty images, Bauer Griffin, PacificCoastNews.com)

For two completely different TV personalities, Kim Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne sure have similar taste in kooky hairstyles. Both Kardashian and Osbourne have been spotted around town wearing the same twisted topknot multiple times in the past week. Funny enough, they've also been wearing similar floral printed motorcycle jackets too. Hm. Are they secret soulmates?

Kelly Osbourne, known for her light purple-ish gray locks, usually experiments with looser hairstyles and updos—but this month, she wore a sky-high, super tight, bun to both the Chris Benz' presentation at New York Fashion Week last week and around London Fashion Week two days ago.

Over on E!, Kim Kardashian always pulls her hair back in the sleekest and tightest updos. Usually, her buns are bigger and flatter. But just like Osbourne, Kardashian's topknot appeared tall and twisted as she flew to Australia.

Obsession of the Day: Jeremy Scott's Spring 2013 Gold Machine Gun Paillettes

Jeremy Scott, the wild child of New York Fashion Week, showed a concise and well-edited spring 2013 collection at Milk Studios yesterday afternoon to a crowd that included this season's most ubiquitous front-rower, Olympian Ryan Lochte—who was sitting next to Tyra Banks, celebrity stylist Johnny Wujek, and Paris Hilton. 

There were some amazing details in Scott's spring 2013 Middle-East-meets-B-boy-with-a-French-luxury-fashion-house-send-up collection. The sequined leopard-patterned black-and-gold mini-burqas, the toga-draped, classically printed and subtly pleated silk scarf dresses—for both men and women!—and this one amazing placement-print swimsuit:

Our biggest obsession, though, were the machine-gun gold pailletes that dangled off the sheer mesh dresses (top). Political statement or fashion statement, we like seeing a bit of toughness and aggression on the runway every once in a while.

Here are five of our favorite looks from the spring 2013 Jeremy Scott collection:

Solange Knowles In Mixed Prints for NYFW

Solange Knowles is the queen of rocking prints on prints on prints.

She was spotted making her way around Fashion week in a burgundy and blue mixed printed dress accessorized with a yellow purse and cheetah print pumps. Earlier in the week, she was spotted checking out vintage Kenyan designs front row at the Suno Runway show as well as designs by Tibi. She was also spotted at the Alexander Wang Fashion week event dressed in mixed prints while wearing a hat by South African designer Babatunde. She scooped up the hat during her recent visit to Cape Town where she filmed a new music video.

Solange was also spotted in a Nicola Easy print top as she sat front show at the Tibi show with her son Julez earlier in the week.
