Christian Louboutin - A Dream Collection

❝I prefer shoes that undress to shoes that dress,❞ says the French designer,❝A successful shoe is a shoe that accentuates nudity... We get very smart women coming in and buying a pair to feel a little more sluttish.❞

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL:

A Spring and Summer of Studs

Engin Spikes (pure lust)

Best known for his red bottoms, Christian Louboutin, has debuted his Spring/Summer 2010 collection and they are ALL studded out! The women and men's collections both feature silver pyramid-studded details, especially the men's single style Louis sneaker! The men's shoe is available in black or white leather, and the sneakers will retail for $1200 USD. There are options for you guys, if you feel like the Louis sneaker may be too street for you, the Freddy Flat is calling your name!

Louboutin's women's shoes vary in detail going from studded toe caps (Siouxsie Flat) and heels that fall somewhere in between (Engin Spikes) and shoes fully-covered in studs (Big Kiss Flat). Everyone should have at least 1 pair of Christian Louboutin's on deck --- but you NEVER stop at just one.

Rated R

Rih put herself back on the map with this one.

Rihanna's highly anticipated new album Rated R is set to be released this Tuesday (Nov. 24th) -- FiNALLY! Most of the album has already been leaked - but with singles "Russian Roulette" and "Hard" feat. Young Jeezy - it's a certified banger! Just like the artist herself! Not only is she a hit on the Billboard charts, the 21-year old is a style icon, and a bad b*tch for real. Take a look at her album artwork. Even I have to say, daaaaamn Rih Rih!!

Got Her Swag Back ---

Absolutely stunning !!

VB was spotted out in London carrying the peach Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Fur Tassels Messenger Bag from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It was spotted at the Paris shows in pink and lime green -- Victoria is lucky enough to have a prototype from off the runway! But the bag is expected to be available during the first few months of 2010, and will retail anywhere from $1500-$3500+ USD.

Gaga Screams for McQueen!

Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze! This time around, I am talking about "Bad Romance" her first single and video off her new album, Fame Monster. The video is typical Gaga -- aesthetics are gaudy, beautiful, insane, and a bit scary.. and Gaga's dancing in what seems to be an alien bathhouse. BUT - it's the fashion that takes over the entire video. The Lady brings Alexander McQueen's spring 2010 runway to life wearing his 10-inch lobster-claw shaped "Armadillo" shoes. Alexander McQueen is best known for his extreme couture and high-fashion so it is no wonder that him and Gaga go hand in hand. She's a big fan of the designer and has been spotted out in several different outfits by him this year. These killer shoes will be toned down for retail and for the functional woman - they will be out this spring!
