Music's Men Love DSquared2

Leather Zip Jacket $1,408 USD

DSquared2 has always been one of my favorite designers, especially for men.  The music industry's leading men have been recently spotted in the designer's jackets that any man would kill for.  Sean Garrett rocking the Mid-Length Jacket in his debut video "Get It All" feat. Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z chatted with David Letterman in the Leather Zip Jacket.  Impeccable music and impeccable taste in clothes, Clap Clap Bravo gentlemen.

Mid-Length Jacket (in brown) $1,535 USD

Cloud 9 with The Clou Noeud

This season, there was much buzz surrounding Versace's S/S 2010 Shoe Collection.  Celebrities were all over the Alice in Wonderland inspired creations, but Christian Louboutin seems to have taken the throne back with their Fall 2010 women's shoes.  Celebrities like Rihanna, Monica, Dawn Richard and Vivica Fox have all been spotted wearing the Clou Noeud peep-toes on different occasions.  The leather platform retails for $1,195 at Barney's but with the huge bow and nickel spiked detailing, this is most definitely well worth the splurge.

Beauty Buzz ---

Hollywood's rising star, Zoe Saldana is now the newest face for Avon's "Eternal Magic" fragrance.  The scent was takes inspiration from the rare Princess Monaco Rose flower, according to People magazine and will be available in April.  The 31-year-old actress will also be featured in the Avon magazine as one of the faces for the company's color collection.  Zoe says, "It means so much to me to be associated with a company that shares my values and believes in empowering women."  Senior Vice President and President of Avon North America, Geralyn Breig also added, "We are thrilled to have Zoe as the spokesperson for Eternal Magic.  Every woman wants to be unforgettable and Zoe perfectly embodies that feeling.  She's a rising star in Hollywood - and has built a strong reputation for playing empowering characters that leave a lasting impression."

Rihanna is on her grind.  The February '10 issue of W Magazine puts the style icon on its cover and also does an in-depth interview with the artist.  Rihanna goes into detail during the interview, revealing a lot about the making of her latest album Rated R.  (Album in stores now.) The black and white cover spread highlights hats & gloves and Rihanna's most recent tat!  Photographed by Craig McDean and styled by Lori Goldstein,  she's definitely bringing high-fashion all the way, despite her lack of clothing --- what she is wearing is worth looking at.

Beautiful Bliss Pt.2

 Louis Sneaker

 

Freddy Flat

Pharrell must have a secret licensing deal with Christian Louboutin because he has been spotted out in the new spring/summer collection again!  Not only does he have the Louis sneaker in white, but black as well and the Freddy Flat.  Each pair is $1200 USD, but I'm almost positive he didn't pay for any of them.  We peep game Phar-real.

Beautiful Bliss

Pharrell does it - AGAiN ! Christian Louboutin's Louis Sneaker has popped up on the foot of one of the flyest in the game - before they're even available. (surprise, surprise) The Louis Sneaker is from Louboutin's men's Spring/Summer 2010 collection and will not debut until the beginning months of 2010. Louis Sneaker will retail for $1200 USD.

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 !!

Victoria Beckham in LV !

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!
