For The Fellas: Hottest Hip Hop Sneakers Of All Time...

Okay, so between my older brother and a nameless ex-boyfriend  who loved sneakers, I was pretty familiar with most of the shoes shown in the post. The shoes are not listed in any particular order....they're just there and they're simply stylish. Check it, Check it, Check it out y'all!

Ciao and see you at the TOP, lovies!

Adidas Superstars

Air Force Ones

Black/White Jordan Concords...I have always LOVED these shoes...considering getting a pair

Remember when my brother had some of these...I think he had almost ALL of these shoes shown in the post...#SPOILED

OG Gucci Sneakers...these babies hit for about $150.00 in 1986...not a lot to us now, but back then that was a GRIP!

OG Prada Sneakers...these replaced the OG Gucci...look how fancy these things are?!

Pumas or Clydes...these were made famous by Walt 'Clyde' Frazier

Reeboks...I had these in white when I was a little girl. My mom would put some slouch socks on me, tie them tight, hit the velcro and I was ready to roll. You couldn't tell me NOTHING with those shoes on.

Timberlands or Timbs as the New Yorkers call them...I had my first exposure to Timbs when my ex-bf, a New Yorker, asked for some for Christmas and his mom got him the wrong ones. That was the funniest thing ever. Thank goodness she made a quick recovery and got the right ones. I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with these shoes.

Black Cement IVs...very familiar with these shoes too...went on a wild goose chase looking for these for the said ex-bf...whooo! The things you do when you're in love...LOL!

HAUTE Reading Anyone?

The Gucci Museum (yes, Gucci is so FABULOUS there's a museum) recently opened in Florence, Italy. After the opening of a museum, the next best thing that could happen to any design house would be to publish a book that commemorates Gucci's impact on the world of fashion. "Gucci: The Making Of" celebrates the design house's 90 years of excellence in fashion. It's more than a picture book, so if you're a self proclaimed fashionista like myself, it may behoove you to scoop up this great book. Most likely, you'll be able to find it at your local Barnes and Noble or on Amazon.com. The price is a little hefty, think college text book price; however the $85.00 you spend to get the book is a heck of a lot cheaper than getting that new Gucci handbag!

Enjoy and see you at the TOP, lovies!

Ciao!

Rules Of The Rainbow...

Color blocking was a hot trend of the summer and lucky for all of us fashionistas, it's followed us into the fall. If you didn't understand the rules of blocking during the summer months, give it a whirl again and try it for the Fall season by following these quick and easy tips.

Rule of the Rainbow #1:
When color blocking, limit yourself to TWO prominent colors. Too many colors at one time may not be as easy on the eyes as you think.

Rule of the Rainbow #2:
Mix colors in the same family. Mixing colors of the same family gives a more flowing look. I'm not discouraging the mixing of clashing hues, but it can appear agressive if you know what I mean.

Rule of the Rainbow #3:
Wearing a neutral or monochromatic fit? Pump it up with color by wearing a fun shoe in a bright color or daring print.

Rule of the Rainbow #4:
Pastels are just for spring and summer anymore. Bring your pastels into fall and winter. Instead of sheer fabrics look for chunky sweaters in pastel colors and then block your heart away.

Rule of the Rainbow #5:
The rules of the rainbow aren't reserved for your wardrobe only! Your hair, make-up, and nails are also included.

If you're feeling a little funky, change your hair color. I don't recommend doing this at home, but you can if you're brave. If you're not brave, take a trip to your local salon and ask your stylist which color or colors will look best for you.

Add a pop of color here and there to your make-up regimen. Try colors like a sexy red, tantalizing tangerine or if you're really daring try a purple lip.

Don't forget your nails...this season pretty much any color goes (except for neons...they're a little too summery for the fall).

Last thing you can POP is your shoes! Any fantastically, fabulous, colored shoe will work!

Make it work, lovies! Color blocking...it's for EVERYBODY!

Good luck, Lovies! See ya at the TOP!
xoxo
