Kim K's Blog: Reggie to the Rescue!!



Reggie, his mother Denise, Khloe and I were coming from Botswana after a day of diamond mining to Johannesberg, South Africa and I left my passport on the plane! The staff claimed they looked but I had a feeling they didn't! They called the embassy and they said I would have had to sleep at the hotel airport! Reggie begged to go check himself and he found it!!! He saved the day!

Has anyone ever lost something they really needed? It's the worst feeling in the entire world!




Kim K's Blog: Day One in Botswana



After two flights and 21 hours we finally landed in Johannesberg. South Africa. We then hopped on another 45 minute flight to Botswana. I twittered that I was in South Africa and Botswana, and the way I wrote it I guess made it sound like I didn't know my geography!

Once we got into Botswana we dropped our bags off at the hotel and then headed to a school for disabled children. We met some really amazing children and Reggie brought them all footballs and taught them how to play football. This facility is called the Motswedi Rehabilitation Centre and it helps rehabilitate children and care for children as they are getting ready to pass away.

The looks on these beautiful childrens' faces as Reggie was playing football with them was unexplainable. It was so touching. Reggie and Adidas donated a new rehab facility for the children to use!

Here are some pictures to better describe our day!

Aubrey O'Day: Fashion DUI?



Is Aubrey O'Day dressing under the influence?

As much as we applaud Aubrey for daring to cover up for a change, this disproportionate look has us wishing that the Queen of the Overexposed would just strip down completely. Fashion rule #348: Never accessorize your shorts with a throw blanket!

Fedora Fever



The It hat of the summer, the fedora, not only shields your face from the sun and rectifies bad hair days, it lends ladies some serious attitude. Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan have both been sporting the haute hat, and even habitually tame Reese Witherspoon jazzed up her outfit with the accessory.

D.S Pick of the Day: Valentino Rose Pump




Ooh la la! I am in love! These Valentino pumps are absolutely stunning…so feminine, fresh and sophisticated with a tough of edge.

Dark silver and black are a fabulous contrast, and it is done superbly here. Patent leather and satin are also an interesting contrast and work perfectly in this case. The dark grey mirrored patent leather is the perfect neutral, yet edgy backdrop for the highlight of this shoe, the rose covered front, which is truly one of the most stunning rosettes that I have ever seen. The satin flowers are done so beautifully, and there is something about black roses that is oddly romantic in my eyes. These shoes remind me of a dark love story, one that you turn to with a glass of wine for one of those nights. There is some edge and delicate beauty in this shoe, and everything goes together with such ease.

Paired with a fabulously fitting black dress, it’s an outfit that cannot go wrong. Or try some black skinny pants and a black fitted top for an edgier look. Either way, these shoes are a love story all their own, so make yours in them.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: YSL Muse Travel Bag



I found my new love. A travel bag that will fill my weekend getaway needs.

Spotted Kim K: Kim Rescued by Reggie



Having her football stud beau to thank, Kim Kardashian was photographed as Reggie Bush returned from having located her missing passport at the OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa on Wednesday (July 15).

After leaving the document on her flight from Botswana, Kim was held up at security because of the misplaced paperwork, telling People magazine, “They wouldn’t let me out of customs line.”






After pleading to be allowed to search for his lady’s passport, Reggie’s mission turned out to be a success, with Kim saying, “Reggie begged to go check for the passport himself ... and he found it! He saved the day!”

The previous day, Kim and Reggie joined De Beers CEO Sheila Khama to visit the Motswedi Rehabilitation Centre during a Diamond Empowerment Fund tour of Africa.
