We Call This Messy Chic

Sighting: Beyonce was recently photographed giving messy chic on the streets of London earlier this week. I love when she tips without any trying. That damn Sasha Fierce, she makes me sick!

Shoutout to Beyonce World for the photos.

Momma Tippin Like It's Nothin

Sighting: Kelis At MoMA’s 41st Annual Party

It's great to see Kelis out and about considering everything that's going on with her. Imagine going through a divorce all the while awaiting the arrival of your first child. It's got to be crazy! I give Momma kudos for keeping her head up all the while still tippin boots.

Kelis even went as far as to update her twitter with how she's doing despite everything that's going on:

Hi guys, I’m back! Rough month but we prevailed. (Meaning doin good and maintained sanity and didn’t hurt anyone in the process) woo!

Now, that's what you call a Bad B@*#&!

10's Across The Board

Collection: Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Footwear Collection

Never have I seen Paisley, Patent and Animal look so good together. These shoes are conventional, modern and so fucking Chic! Excuse my language people, I'm excited. This is the first footwear collection I've seen in awhile that conveys exactly where we are in fashion right now. Jacobs is right on with this collection!

And you ask why he's the top dog at LV?

The PussyCat Dolls "Hush Hush" Official Video

I don't care what they say about The PCD, they are alright with me. It's something about them that is fresh, new and so sexy! I love how the video starts with Nicole giving you a sexy, psychotic then goes into the entire group just breaking it up. This is a strong comparison but, I can really see The PCD being what The Spice Girls use to be.

This Ain't A Shoulder With A Chip Or A Ego

Collection: Matthew Williamson Fall 2009 Collection

I absolutely adore Matthew Williamson's Fall 2009 Collection; It's current, chic and feminine. The pieces are high fashion but, yet at the same time pieces the modern day woman could tweak and put into their daily wardrobe. Now, that's what you call a HIT!

I Wanna Smash Into You

Collection: Christian Louboutin in collaboration with 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2009

Get into the footwork Louboutin created for Lim; from the looks of the shoes,it's as if Lim and Louboutin were made for each other. Get into the stiletto of these heels, they have to be 5, maybe 6 inches tops. These are for the Pro Tipper, when I say pro I mean the type of tipper who high steps without even flinching. Is that you?

Momma Something Serious Right?

First Lady, Michelle Obama for Time Magazine

“It has been the greatest single benefit of this for us as a family. It means that we see each other every day. And that hasn’t happened for most of the kids’ lifetime.”It’s rare [for most families] to have dad at home for dinner, to see him in the mornings, to have him there when you go to bed at night, just to be able to have the casual conversations that happen about life at dinnertime,” says Mrs. Obama. “That’s been terrific. It’s normal. It’s more normal than we’ve had for a very long time.

“We stay 100 percent in their world all the time. And I don’t know if you understand that, but their lives are very disconnected from this [place]. You can do that with kids when they are young, because they just don’t care.”
