Introducing...Melody Ehsani



Can I get a drum roll please! Not only is it about damn time I posted a new entry, but I'd like to introduce Persian native, designer Melody Ehsani. She designs the hauteness in accessories from jewlery to footwear. From the moment I spotted a post of Kelis rockin' an oversized pair of gold 80's inspired earring, I had to know who was responsible for the creation of an immaculate construction. So just the other day, I am at work surfing as if I have nothing else to do (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm back in the workforce now, which is the reason behind the absenteeism, another post tho') and I ran across yet another post from my peeps over at Concrete Loop addressing concerns about the earrings Kelis was wearing. Mel has an array of celebs following suit from Nas, Rihanna, Alicia Keys and more. Anyway I personally ordered the personalized 3-finger ring plate and of course the Kelis earrings!!! And my girl Mel know how to give back to a cause, a portion of the proceeds from each portion goes to furthering the education of young women, so show some support.

So I digress and leave you some designs for thought...

Steve Madden Designer Inspiration Givenchy...






So here we go again, whilst surfing the Internet for some 4th of July threads to rock on my vacation to D.C., I came across these Givenchy replicas from none other than our fav' designer inspirationalist (I know, I made it up hehe), Steve Madden. They are so similar that coppin' the real deal might be a cry for power and attention through labels. They are a little more pricey for a replica, at the mere price of $199 you to can be as chic and a fashion forerunner as Lauren London and Rihanna, who both wore these gladiator style Givenchy studs to the BET awards. The real deal is gonna run you about $995...So I ask, Are you Inspired?

The force that is Rihanna on Acid...


Acid Wash that is...Rihanna was spotted out and about in New York recently wearing this acid wash and lame ensemble. Even though every state on the East Coast has had blistering... hot... humid weather, she stills sizzles in this 80's throw back. Her stylist is a force to be reckoned with. He/She knows exactly what fits her body, what looks good on her, and what to put together to distract fans from her horrid music. No, really have we ever wondered what is it that keeps up drawn to this chic besides her beautiful eyes, modelesque height, cutting edge hair cuts and to die for ensemble. Oh yeah! She sings...That's my girl tho'.

Another Day, Anotha Replica...

Are You Inspired?

While cruising the net, I stumbled upon yet another pair of designer inspired replicas. These are the YSL Leopard Tribute Peep Toe Pumps, that retail for about $675. The other is a designer inspired version by Bakers, the Emory retails for about $79.95. I don't know I think I must say that I have to go with the designer on this one. The quality of the replica doesn't even compare to the designer. Here is Megan good rocking a pair after her appearance on 106 & Park. She didn't do them much justice in this checkered ensemble. But she gets cred for effort.

Designer Inspiration...

CAN U TELL DESIGNER OR INSPIRED?

Ever since the explosion of the Manolo Blahnik Timbs in 03', yeah you remember...Jay-Z and
Beyonce honorably mentioned them in the 03' Bonnie & Clyde track. After that there was not stopping the replicas from knock-offs to designer inspired artist such as Steve Madden (who in my opinion had the best replica). Well here we are in 2008 and designer studs are becoming much more expensive and much harder to find. Lets face it, ladies love shoes, handbags and clothing of all sorts, but most importantly shoes. Now unless your some type of Billion Heiress or a celebrity like Beyonce, Posh, or Rihanna and designers are shipping you their latest items for you to advertise, so that the millions of people in the world can go and take their everyday, 9-5, working wages to imitate, then a replica may be just down your aisle. Steve Madden has always been wonderful at making sure that the budget savvy diva doesn't look cheaply made when strutting her stuff. His designer inspired replicas are tasteful and affordable. The quality usually is about 99% as good as the original. The Steve Madden replica of the YSL tribute sandal is all the buzz right about now. They are great quality and just as good as the orignal. What do you think, Hit or Miss?
Steve Madden, Aileenn $99.95, www.stevemadden.com
YSL tribute sandal, $760, www.barneysnewyork.com


These I actually found at Forever 21 the other day. They are Chloe inspired and almost a close match, but not quite. The quality is not as good.
Interested? Visit your local Forever 21 or 1(888)-494-EVER

Ah..Chu...





*Sneeze* In my endless pursuit to find some type of meaningless work, I haven't been able to post as much (sorry). Not to mention, I have a stuffy head cold. Nevertheless, I'm here! I just don't understand the human resource, hiring process. I'm trying my best not to be a shopbum, you know the type with no job and still out shopping and spending relentlessly. Yep that's me! I'm craving sneakers like a Pregnant woman and pickles. Jay-Z definitely has my mouth watering and my fingers trembling on the keyboard... reaching for my credit card...done! Anyways peep the pics...*Sniffles*

Mood- Stuffy
Color- Gloomy Gray
Song- Lil' Wayne ft. Jay-Z- Mr. Carter

Sex And The City...


In theaters today...

All Carrie Bradshaw fans, I know are ecstatic for the opening of Sex and the City. After a four year hiatus, the old gal gang is back. More chic, fashion forward, sexually enlightened and ready to hit the big screen. My favorite character I would have to say is Kim Catrell and then Carrie Bradshaw. I guess I will see some of you in line at theaters!

Get Starr Studded...


Rihanna is holding it down for the ladies lately. Her stylist must be hard at work (you can still holla at me Rhi Rhi) keeping her style innovative and haute. I have been checking for this mustard Robert Rodriguez leather jacket since I first laid my big brown eyes on it in Georgetown. Now that it's nearly 50% ($710 then/$459 now) off I copped it yesterday! Dig Rihanna's swag...?
