Spotting Kim K: Vandalism Koverup


Kim Kardashian covered up ... the graffiti outside her vandalized Miami store. Only Kim could pull of painting in a him outfit. Go Girl.

Spotting Kim K: Vandalism at Dash Boutique



Not looking too pleased earlier today (May 19), Kim Kardashian was spotted arriving at the new Dash store in Miami, FL to find someone had vandalized the front of the building.

According to the Miami Herald, a store employee arrived early this morning to find the store window had been busted, but nothing had been taken, thankfully.

Kourtney, the oldest of the sisters, took to her official Web site saying, ‘’All of the graffiti on the wall was gang-related and there were carvings in the glass. All in all, the damage is pretty bad, but they’re painting over it now!”

The employee who initially noticed the graffiti alerted Kim through her Twitter page, saying, “We are having a CRISIS! Can u meet me at Dash???”

Police continue to investigate the crime and hopefully the store will officially open tomorrow, as planned.

Fauxshionista instead of Fashionista

As I was surfing the web, I came across these Oh Deer shoes and I don’t know if you will get the same reaction as I did…"Those are so Louboutin!." I’m not trying to imply that Oh Deer imitated Christian Louboutin or vice-versa. As for my opinion, when I see wooden red soles the first thing that comes to mind is Christian Louboutin. And as for my advice, if the first thing tht comes to mind when you see these Oh Deer shoes is Christian Louboutin, then be prepared to take the risk of being labeled a Fauxshionista instead of Fashionista! Let me site and example:

Imagine this scenario: Miss Fauxshionista is strutting down Rodeo Drive with her Christian Louboutinesque shoes ( oh she knows they look like Louboutin’s, that’s why shoe bought them). And someone stops her and says to her, ‘Those are fabulous shoes, I love Louboutins! Which one’s are those again? And Miss Fauxshionista replies, "The are actually, um..um.., Oh..Deers"… Lady replies shaking her head, "OH DEAR!"

Handbag as Real Estate: Where do you live?


Picture via NYtimes Fashion Magazine

A picture and is literally worth thousands (if not millions) of words. It is clear that handbags are ruling the fashion world because of their necessity and ability to show off some style. Armand Limnander has created the breakdown of a handbag real estate map for New York City in the NYtimes Fashion Magazine. I find it odd that the most expensive bag chosen is a Chanel Croc Evening Handbag, which runs the huge and hefty price of $56.50 per square inch while the Hermes Birkin choosen ’simple’ so to speak. We all know the handbag Queen of them all, is the Hermes Birkin, which if you are into croc and diamond encrusted will run over $100,000.

Where do you live on the Handbag Real Estate List?

MAC Cosmetics | Naked Honey: Available: June 11, 2009

As ancient and exotic as Kohl, great beauties have long revered the natural restorative powers of the Golden Elixir.

Style Watch: Maxidresses Go Colorblock



Nothing says "Hello, summer!" quite like a colorblock maxidress. But unless you're built like the impeccable Halle Berry, steer clear of horizontal panels, which can make you appear wider. Or else limit the stripes to the bottom half of your skirt, as seen on Lake Bell—who also belted her flowy number to better define her waist. (Good call!) Vertical and diagonal bands are generally the most flattering.

Here's a hue-mongous tip: Pay attention to panel placement. Dark or neutral blocks of color can nip and tuck your figure, while brighter ones are great for accentuating your best assets.

Though the trend works well with flats, pair it with a heel for a dressier look or to lengthen a small frame.

Runway to Red Carpet: Social Events Of The Week:

"A NIGHT OF HOLLYWOOD DOMINO"


I could have loved Paris Hilton in her silver sequin strapless Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 cocktail dress, with a dramatic bow front, as it looks soooo gorgeous on the runway. The problem for me is that Paris over did the accessories.


"69th ANNUAL AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE SPRING GALA"


Ivanka Trump was the first of many to opt for a Carolina Herrera gown at this gala.
Her lapis blue metallic strapless gown, was from the recent Fall 2009 collection.


Lindsay Price didn't pick a show stopping piece like the previous two, but it needn't have been, because her textured silk Carolina Herrera Spring 2009 teal gown, with a marigold bow detail, and cascading ruffles is so charming.

Kourtney K's Blog: Miami Dash was Vandalized!



There are rumors flying around on the Internet this morning saying that our new Dash store in Miami may have gotten vandalized and broken into today. Lily, our store employee, who is with us in Miami for the opening, arrived this morning and discovered that the store window had been vandalized with graffiti. All of the graffiti on the wall was gang-related and there were carvings in the glass. All in all, the damage is pretty bad, but they’re painting over it now! Luckily nothing was taken from the store, but as a precaution we called and filed a police report and the police came to the store. Of course the paparazzi were all over this, and assumed our new Dash store had been the intentional target.

We want to make it clear that no one was targeting the store or Kim, Khloe and myself, specifically. The location of the store has remained a secret since we started filming, so there’s no way whoever graffiti’d the store front knew it was Dash. They were just defacing buildings in the area.

So that’s what happened! We are all really sad that our brand new Miami Dash store that we’ve been working so hard on got graffiti’d, but Kim, Khloe and I are all fine and we wont let a little thing like this ruin our launch party tomorrow! And what’s life without a little drama, anyway, right!?

I will try to get some pics for you guys so you can see what happened.

Designer Handbag of the Week: Louis Vuitton New Colors in Monogram Insolite Wallet



For Spring/Summer 2009, the Monogram Insolite Wallet now comes in Rubis, Rose Pop, and Ivory colored leather linings as the original Red, Green, and Violette are already discontinued.

Designer Handbag of the Week: Louis Vuitton Monogram Insolite Wallet



Did you know that the Insolite Wallet is french for Unusual Wallet? I've just known that info too just now and I couldn't agree more. In the classic Monogram canvas with eye-catching coloured linings, the Insolite wallet combines a casual, functional style with sharp details. They remind me of the Monogram Perforated Wallets but the Insolites just don't have perforations.

The Insolite Wallet measures an unusual size of 8.3" x 4.3". It's bigger than the ordinary wallets in the Monogram line so it can also be carried as a clutch. It has a zipper and double snap button closure for double protection. The Insolite also has 2 zipped pockets and 12 credit card slots. The zipper pulls are made from leather with the same color with the wallet's grained calfskin inside lining.

The wallet comes in 4 different colors; White, Violette, Red and Green. They're available at Louis Vuitton for $565.
