To Kill or Not to Kill Croc's....

July 15th 2008 20:12

This is the question?? I am an animal lover myself and I know that many of you out there are the same. But, I am also a fashion and design lover also. So you have to understand this question above. Reason meaning, we often kill crocodiles and alligators and other exotic animals, why, so that we may, nothing else but wear them. Understandable, but this has caused many issues between animal rights groups and others.

I’ve been considering if the wearing of crocodile skin is ethical or not, moral or not, I haven’t really came to a conclusion. The jury is still out in my brain. I do believe in ultimate fairness, so I do hear both sides of an equation, before making my judgment. After hearing both sides, I believe that both sides have very valid arguments and I understand both of their arguments. Does this endanger our environment or planet, probably not, but if you look at the fact of it endangering our animals, such as the crocodile or alligator’s, possibly yes. We do have precious animals and accessories (lol) here on planet earth that are entrusted to our care and responsibility. If these crocodiles and other animals are not taken care of by us, then who. We humans do run the earth, if you haven’t known.

Now, will I stop wearing crocodile or alligator shoes? Probably not. Will I stop wearing exotic fur coats and the like? Probably not. Fashion is just that, fashion and the environment is just that. Hopefully, one day, we as human beings, can think of a way to mix the two without damaging either.

Happy Shopping!!

An evening in Paris (Hilton Shoes that is!)

July 13th 2008 16:52

Paris Hilton is already a celebrity slash star, with all of her prominent family(Hilton Hotels Heir) and business, social and entertainment endeavors. But, she has added fashion to her list of tasks. With an already thriving clothing and lingerie line, she has added a couture line of very fashionable shoes, I might add. I’ve been reading a lot of flack from other bloggers and gossip columns about Paris’ size 11 shoes and her modeling them herself. For all of you people, I have one thing to say, please ‘put a huge SOCK in it!!’ I respect Paris a lot for her aggressiveness with helping women like me. I wear a size 10 shoe and I am taller than the average woman. I can tell you from experience, that it’s very hard to find cute, glamorous shoes for large feet. I often ask myself, ‘is there only little feet in the world?’ NO. We girls with big feet need love too! Paris is a girl with large feet and she’s not ashamed of it or putting us large feet girls on the map. Because of these reason’s, Paris Hilton get no flack from me at all. Now back to the shoes. I love her new shoe line. Most of the shoes Paris Hilton shoes that are offered and that I’ve seen are fabulous!. I am saying that with a straight face and sincere heart. I would wear darn near every shoe that she has on her line. Now I must say, that I’ve seen a few that is not to my particular taste, but nevertheless, most of her shoes receive and ‘A ’. I think that one of the best things about her new shoe line is that they are affordable. The average retail price of Paris Hilton shoes are between $59.00 up to $195.00. Now for all of you budget shoppers like me, this is music to your ears. It’s like 3 times the party. Large feet cute, awesome shoes, great price, hard to beat that honey. Already showcasing at stores such as, Kitson Couture, Macy’s, Zappos, and Lord & Taylor, Paris Hiltons shoe, clothing and lingerie line is sure to be a hit for years to come.

Posh doing it big with DVB Style

July 13th 2008 03:38

Everyone knows David Beckham. Wait a minute, everyone also knows his beautiful wife, Victoria Beckham. Victoria Beckham aka ‘Posh Spice’ of the use to be British group, the Spice Girls, totally ‘rocks’. She is a style and celebrity icon, not only in her native country Brittan, but also here the America’s. Victoria Beckham has always had a distinct style of her own. It started with her unique sense of fashion as ‘Posh Spice.’ Though in my opinion, her vocals were not much to sing about, her style has always been preceding fashion edginess I love her ‘has been’ and current style. That’s probably why she’s opted to bring her unique fashion sense to front and center. With her new line, DVB Clothing, Victoria Beckham is bringing that genuine British fashion sense to America. DVB Clothing is already a hit and the crave in England and it’s finally branching throughout the rest of the world, making it a hit worldwide.

I like the fact that DVB’s Clothing and Victoria Beckham are now one, really. She has the cutest sunglasses within its DVB line and the most ‘posh’ jeans, straight leg, wide leg, signature, you name it. DVB is reaching and providing a wide variety of fashion need’s with a wide spectrum of different designs and fashions. DVB and Victoria Beckham are rocking the fashion world so, that she has even designed a pair of specifically for model superstar, Naomi Campbell. It’s called DVB by Naomi, cool! She has a line of wonderful handbags, shoes, jeans and sunglasses. She’s devoted a whole collection to fab sense of denim fashion and design. Her line of jeans creates a huge glamorous look for the wearer, definitely!! Look like a star, literally!
For instance, it’s only carried at one of the most sought after boutique’s in the US, Kitson Couture in LA. Peep the upcoming Men’s line, due out this holiday season. Theres been a lot of rumor’s this year of Kitson Couture dropping DVB denim line due to poor sale’s and production.

My Checklist:Summer Do's and Don'ts

June 28th 2008 04:35

I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:

Check my SHOE WORK!!

June 23rd 2008 23:30

I LOVE SHOES!! I think I may be totally obsessed with shoes. I REPEAT, I LOVE SHOES!! I really don’t know how many pair I currently have, but trust me it’s a LOT(LOL)! But what young woman doesn’t like shoes. All sorts of shoes. Shoes give me that tingly feeling on the inside, you know, that ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaahhhh, feeling. Let me stop. Everyone has something. A food fetish, a banana fetish, well I (and many of you) have SHOE fetishes. If I don’t have enough money to buy that “me” outfit, I will settle investing a great pair of manolo’s, pump’s, boots or hills. Anyday…..

I recently saw Sex in the City, the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and oh baby the Shoe!!!!!! See, that’s what I love about chick flicks, though I don’t like all. But at least chick flicks cater to us, women. A great flick with display great style and fashion, something most of us respect and draw from. The main type of shoes displayed in the movie is the Jimmy Choo shoe. Jimmy Choo started around 10 years ago in a small town in England. Bet he never guessed his company would be so international and famous. A very smart, let me repeat, a VERY smart woman by the name of Tamara Mellon, knew of Mr. Choo’s tremendous success in her native, England and proposed a business gesture for him. Thankfully, he accepted and that propelled the Jimmy Choo company that we all know of today, WHOOPEE
