[FASHION] Solemate Saturday : True Colours

[sohl-meyt] n.

a pair of shoes with which one has a strong affinity

A while back I had blogged about the Jeffrey Campbell Salvatore shoe that I was quite fond of... Today, I came across these :
I love these ones even more, they are the original idea behind Jeffrey Campbell's Salvatore shoe. It was first created in 1938 by Salvatore Ferragamo for actress Judy Garland. If you don't know who she is, think The Wizard of Oz. Garland played Dorothy. Last year the original Rainbow Platform was re-released for a limited time and I am sure they went quickly. They really do make my heart pitter patter.

I do tend to feel that replicas of original pieces can be seen as insulting to the original artist but, in my eyes, Jeffrey Campbell can do no wrong and I therefore am still in lust with the new rendition of the shoe, and course dues were paid by entitling it "Salvatore".

[FASHION] Bill Cunningham Documentary

If you are into the whole street-style movement, the name Bill Cunningham should most definitely ring a bell. Bill is a photographer for the New York times and has been for some time now. Most people would agree that the Harvard graduate is the man responsible for bringing about/developing street-style in a real way. The Documentary will be premiered today at Eco Fashion Week in Vancouver! The preview is heart-dropping and inspirational.

[MUSIC] Kelly Rowland Can Be Your Motivation

KELLY ROWLAND - is without a doubt making some songs that are far different from what she's been doing recently. Leaving the house beats along she's come back to RnB and has really set the bar with her most recent song Motivation. I can see this song causing some serious damage - the lyrics are enough to make you feel like you`re doing something wrong by listening.

The video isn`t too far behind on the sex-o-meter. Definitely HOT! and appropriate for the playful summer nights ahead.

[FASHION] Umm There's a Hole in Your Shoe...

Lately, I’ve been coming across a new style of shoe that can only be described as ghetto gross. Seriously, WTF is wrong with these shoes? There are holes everywhere. Note to designers: this is not cool. I mean, I’m no fashion expert, but these shoes are absolutely hideous. I don’t get it; did someone forget to finish the shoe? Are designers still hurting from the recession? Did they run out of fabric? Who in their right mind would buy these? And get this, the pair on the left costs over $300 by Ksubi, whereas the pair on the right costs…wait for it…over $1400 by Vaz Rajan. I’m just baffled. Unless you want to look as if you live in a dumpster, do NOT fall victim to this ‘trend.’ On the other hand, if for whatever reason you do like this style, I’m sure you’ll be able to find these shoes in the clearance section of any store crazy enough to carry them. If that doesn’t work, just walk through a ghetto school playground; you may be lucky enough to dig up this treasure there. I can’t imagine this trend ever catching on, so I think we’re safe. In that case, excuse my little rant.

[FASHION] Kara Ross Snakeskin iPad Case x Diamond Encrusted iPad

New York jewelry designer Kara Ross has some beautiful iPad cases. I had absolutely no interest in the iPad until I saw them... Backwards, I know, but now I want an iPad. It comes in Python Snakeskin with your choice of a coral (above) or blue (below) tab. I ADORE these cases. They are sold out on most online stores, but you can also find them at Holt Renfrew.

[FASHION] Tuesday Lips - Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics: Lip Tar for the Animal Lover in You

Obsessive Compuslsive Cosmetics was founded 3 years ago by David Klasfeld who conducts seminars for make-up departments and television shows. He later teamed up with New York MakeUp artist Katie Pelligrino to create lip tar! The lipstick-lipgloss hybrid caught my attention in the Spring Issue of Zink Magazine. It comes in a tube, as lip gloss does, and is glided on. When applied, the lip tar takes the form of a satin lipstick. Although it was developped with the intention to be mixed with other lip products, the colour of the lip tars are intense enough to be worn as is. OCC does emphasize that it should be used in small doses to prevent leaking! OR, I suggest you find a good lip pencil to outline it. The lip tar comes in over 25 colours and is sold for $13/8ML.
