Tom Ford Spring 2011 Fishnet Over-the-Knee Boots

Earlier this year, Eva Marcille twitpic'd a picture of herself wearing these limited edition fishnet over-the-knee boots from Tom Ford's Spring 2011 Collection:



Beyonce modeled the same boots down the catwalk of Tom Ford's debut womenswear show on September 12th:



Italian fashion editor Anna Della Russo was spotted wearing the sexy boots during Fashion Week:

She paired them with a Stella McCartney dress

The other day, Kijafa Frink, fiance of Philadelphia Eagle's Quarterback Michael Vick, twitpic'd a picture of her legs in the boots.  Her Twitter Avitar is a picture of herself wearing the boots with an animal print dress:



I think the boots are VERY sexy.  They retail for $5,200.  What do you think? Would you rock these?

Here are some more pieces from the collection that you can find in stores this weekend and online:

Uber cute! I can't remember the last time I shopped in Forever 21 but I definitely see some cute pieces that can be mixed and matched with some quality pieces I already have.  The price range is affordable: $5 to $30.  Will you be purchasing anything from the collection?

I have two fashion events to look forward to this weekend: The Forever 21 for Hello Kitty launch and Versace for H&M.   

Versace Re-Issues Iconic Silk Print Shirts

Versace has re-issued a limited number of its classic printed silk shirts that were ever so popular in the 1990's.  The shirts will be available in all Versace stores worldwide as well as select department stores, boutiques and online shops.  Versace decided to re-release the classic silk shirts after seeing various runway collections  filled with obvious inspiration from its late 90's trend.

Here are pictures of the re-released iconic silk print shirts:

Rappers Tyga, Drake, and Flo-Rida were all spotted recently wearing silk Versace shirts:

Tyga wore this Versace Silk Barocca Print Shirt in a spread for Rap-Up Magazine

Tyga's Young Money label mate Drake wore the same Versace Silk Barocca Print shirt in a different color to his 25th birthday celebration at TAO

Rapper Flo-Rida was spotted in the same shirt at TAO as part of his Young Jeezy Halloween costume.  I have so many questions here: 1). Why is he dressing up as Jeezy for Halloween?  2). When has Jeezy ever worn a silk Versace shirt or anything silk for that matter? 3). Who would have even been able to guess that he was dressed as Jeezy?  Ok, I have so many more, but I'll stop there....

And unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Versace is releasing a collection for H&M that will be available in  H&M stores November 19, 2011 at 8am.  Check out the full women and men's collection here

Kanye West Reveals Womens Wear Line at Paris Fashion Week

Kanye West introduced his first clothing line, DW by Kanye West, at Paris Fashion Week.  DW by Kanye West is a womens wear collection dedicated to his mother, the late Donda West.  The Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show took place at the Lycee Henri IV in Paris, France on October 1, 2011.  Kanye West has been spotted in the front row of many runway shows over the years, and he was apparently taking notes and gaining inspiration for his upcoming clothing line.

The audience consisted of several big names in fashion such as Alexander Wang, Sylvia Fendi, Anna Wintour, Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Ciara just to name a few.  Kanye mainly used black, cream, and white palettes with  plunging necklines, tasteful cut-outs, high leg slits, fur collars, and a few asymmetrical hems.

Here are several of the looks from the DW by Kanye West collection. *photo credit

Here are some of my favorite looks from the collection:

I think out of all the looks, this cut-out dress (or it may be a top and a skirt) is one of my favorites.  Definitely something I would wear in a heartbeat.

Kanye used Jourdan Dunn as one of his runway models

Chanel Iman (right) also model some of the runway looks

Two other looks that Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn modeled down the runway

He added a little color to some of the pieces.

All of the shoes worn by the models in the show were specially designed by Giuseppi Zanotti

Mr. West kept his attire simple sporting a white tee and jeans.

I personally loved most of the looks from the collection.  The price point hasn't been revealed yet, but hopefully it will be affordable because I definitely saw a few pieces that I would rock.  Ladies, what do you think of DW by Kanye West? Is it something you would wear?

Gucci Ready to Wear Fashion Show SS 2012

One of my favorite designer's, Gucci, recently had its Women's Ready to Wear Fashion Show SS 2012 at London Fashion Week.  I loved all of the pieces, but here are my favorites from the collection:

There were many more looks that I loved from this collection, but I couldn't post them all.  To see more of the runway looks, go to Gucci's Facebook page and tell me which ones are your favorites?

Shop Garb Boutique Online

 Reality tv star, Toya Carter Wright, recently launched a new website for her clothing store called Garb Boutique.  Toya co-starred with "Tiny" (former member of Xscape and wife of Atlanta rapper, T.I.) on BET's "Tiny and Toya" and now has her own reality show "Toya A Family Affair" on the same network.

 In October of 2010, Toya opened Garb Boutique in her hometown of New Orleans, LA.  From the reality tv show fame, Toya has built quite a large fan base from all over the United States.  Many of her fans who do not reside in New Orleans have been asking her for months (via her twitter account) when Garb Boutique would be available for online shopping.  Well today, Toya announced on twitter that the website for Garb Boutique has finally launched and is up and running at shopgarbboutique.com . 

Most of the cute clothes seen worn by the reality star (and recent newlywed) on her tv show and at various red carpet events can be found at Garb Boutique.  Ever since her store opened last October, she has been retweeting pictures of her fans in their cute "Garb" outfits bought right out of the boutique.  Toya has given a unique nickname to customers of her store.  She refers to anyone that has ever shopped in her store as "Garbies".  She even sells cute t-shirts that read, "I'm A Garbie" on the front.

Here's a recent picture that Toya twitpic'd of herself getting prepped for the Hoodie Awards in an "I'm A Garbie" t-shirt.

Now everybody can become "Garbies" by shopping at  Garb Boutique  online. Due to high anticipation of the website's launch, the "Shop" feature is down right now as it has crashed due to high traffic. Toya announced on twitter that it is being upgraded now.  In the meantime, if you are in New Orleans you can visit Garb Boutique at 2108 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA 70130. Check back on the site later or follow Toya's twitter for an update on when it is back up and running.

UPDATE: shopgarboutique.com is now back up and running.
