Barbie by Christian Louboutin, Part Deux
By Samantha
It was hard to not hear about the fabulous collaboration between Barbie, and her god-father, Monsieur Louboutin. The first doll, the Cat Burglar, launched in November, and sold out with rave reviews. Now, everyone’s favorite trend-setter has received her second head to toe makeover by the uber designer, for a look that is fresh for spring, and totally Parisian chic.
Dressed in a khaki, safari-inspired dress and over the knee, hot pink fringed boots, Barbie looks fashion forward, chic and well, damn, those boots are amazing! This look is completely different from the Cat Burglar, and represents a different facet of the Christian Louboutin woman. And the added bonus, this doll comes with a wardrobe of three alternate pairs of shoes, complete with mini Christian Louboutin boxes and bags. I don’t know what is more fun, carrying your own Louboutin box, or being able to dress your Barbie doll in different shoes each day. I must say, the safari look has never looked so glam.
The ultimate collectible item, Safari Barbie by Christian Louboutin, will be available starting tomorrow, March 3, for $150 at Net-A-Porter and BarbieCollector.com, but you better hurry. This fashionable lady has many admirers; there’s already a wait list! And hopefully, I am at the top of it. And remember, this is only the second of the line of Barbie by Christian Louboutin, there will be a third released in May, so stay tuned.

Shoshanna Made With Love Charlotte Ronson, Part 2
By Samantha
Designers extraordinaire and best friends, Shoshanna Gruss and Charlotte Ronson have teamed up for a second season of their line, Made With Love. This collection features matching mommy-and-me cover-ups and bikinis in three prints, all with a very retro vibe that is beachy paired with sophistication.
Along with swimwear, the designers created a limited edition tie-dye tote, which has already garnered celebrity fans including Kristen Bell, Emmy Rossum and Michelle Trachtenberg. The bag is perfect to pair with your go-to jeans and t-shirt or to hold your favorite magazines, iPod and sunscreen for hitting the beach.
Now, fashion mavens can dress head to toe in two of their favorite designers while soaking up the rays, which probably won’t be the only thing staring down at them. Shoshanna Gruss creates girly, flirty, fun pieces while Charlotte Ronson focuses on the more edgy and glam. The marriage between the two designers has an outcome that is stunning and is sure to make every girl long for summertime. The prints full of 60s and 70s retro flair are bold and fun, while remaining classic and the epitome of beach chic.
The mommy-and-me swimwear and cover-ups retail from $66 to $220, and the Tie-Dye Wooded Beach Bag retails for $154 at ShopBop. If you don’t have a daughter, grab your closest niece, sister, friend’s daughter, whoever, because this mommy-and-me look is anything but stale, in fact, it is serious boy bait. The collection is up for grabs this month.

Versus Fall 2010
By Faith
Christopher Kane is unstoppable. His namesake line is among the most popular and now he is resurrecting Versus, a junior line of Versace. This is the line’s second season after its much-anticipated comeback and it is truly becoming the go-to brand for all things hip and sexy.
The Fall 2010 Collection is flirty and fun with barely-there hemlines, body-conscious silhouettes, and candy-colored hues. The pieces are made for partying and most boast so much skin, that it is hard to do much else in them.
The wearable parts of the collection are all in the separates. From leather pleated skirts to an angora sweater, Kane does present some day options. The collection creates the perfect juxtaposition of masculine and feminine and shows Kane’s edgy side while still echoing the sultry side of Versace.
Accessories for the collection are as fierce as the clothing from gladiator-esque sandals that pack a mean punch to small-satchels, some of which feature archived images of Bruce Weber for Versace.
Hair and makeup for the collection are kept as flirty and young as the clothing. Hair is combed back and pulled behind the ears completely echoing the collection’s sexiness, while makeup features the bright red lip that everyone is showing for Fall 2010.

For a limited time, Rockport and Zappos teamed up to create a limited edition Lorraine boot, a collaboration with Olympic and World Champion gold medalist and former Canadian Women’s hockey captain Cassie Cambell-Pascall.
The white rain boot sports a fashionable platform wedge with a red Canadian Maple leaf on the front. The rain boot is waterproof and boats adidas adiPrene technology – meaning the boot has shock-absorption and cushioning in the sole.
