Save Your Shoes, Wreck Your Style With Odd Looking Heel Protector

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week- Backstage at Franck Sorbier

With all the pomp and circumstance of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, we can all use some artistic whimsy Real couture, not of the juicy variety, is all about the mastery, the fabulousness, the uniqueness of its garments that are worn by a select few hundred women across the world who can afford the luxury.

Circle Lenses, The Lady Gaga Inspired Fashion Trend We Encourage You To NOT Try At Home

Photo via The New York Times The Latest Disturbing Fashion Trend: Those huge anime eyes are becoming mainstream thanks to Lady Gaga I've definitely come across girls with weird cartoon-like contacts on but haven't paid much mind to this odd looking beauty fad. However, when the front page of today's The New York Times has a story about circle lenses becoming mainstream, it's time to take notice... well, without popping a mega contact lens in for solidarity. The circle contact lens covers part of the white of the eye enlarging the area that a normal contact lens would cover and thus creating the cartoon look. It's not unusual for circle lenses to be in jarring colors to make them appear

Hollister Has Bedbugs

During better times: Swimsuit clad boys perch outside the door of Hollister store in SoHo What will the half-naked models do on their days off? The NY Daily News reports that bedbugs shut Hollister store in SoHo. Apparently bedbug experts were called in to comb the 40,000 sq ft store which forced its 2-day closing.

We are continuing testing." We were just thinking that with the half-naked model boys cum gargoyles that perch alongside the store's front door a different type of creepy crawly bed-related critter would

Give me a sandal with feathers, long beautiful feathers... or some fringe, or beads There's a definite BoHo vibe on the summer streets right now that is the perfect anecdote to girls teetering along in skyscraper platform sandals that they can't walk in (hint, hint) or the obnoxious sound of rubber flip-flops hitting the pavement. Hippie Chic flat sandals with organic embellishments like brilliant feathers, streaming fringe, or some funky beading are a fun and fab addition to your summer wardrobe. Pair with battered and rolled jeans, cut-offs, or a flowing maxi dress. Please don't ruin the natural vibe with an orange fake tan. >> SHOP Cute Flats of all kinds I love the Koolaburra Kythira Feather Sandal (pictured above)
