Sneaker Frenzie

For as long as we can possibly remember sneakers have always been apart of fashion and style. The hip hop culture has made it even more popular to rock a pair of kicks. Low tops, High tops, whatever the case maybe. Now more than ever if you are going to wear a pair of sneakers they have to stand out. It cant be just a bland pair that you use as walking sneakers.

If you do need a pair of walking sneakers make sure that they are stylish and make a statement. They are meant to say something, its self expression more than anything else. And ladies YOU CAN wear a pair of sneakers with a dress. People don’t realize that you can easily make your own statement putting the two together. It can give you a bit of that hip hop/punk look because you mixed it up. DON’T BE AFRAID OF SNEAKERS!

I know a lot of ladies feel that sneakers are only for a certain age or time frame. That couldn’t be the furthest thing from the truth. Fashion is fashion, and if Vogue Italia could put a model on the cover wearing a pair of ATO high tops with some Chanel, Roberto Cavalli and Louis Vuitton, then why cant every one else? Now that its summer time, even more of a reason to rock the craziest sneakers to break some necks. For some sick sneakers, check out karmaloop, sneaker freaker, and updates on sneakers check out sneaker set.

Killer Shoes Not Killing the Piggy Bank

As women the one thing we live for are shoes. Kitten heels, platforms, flats, and stilettos. Whatever your poison is, we tend to kill our piggy banks in the process. Now more than ever heels are taking over the fashion world. The crazy styles, colors, and of course the inches they seem to add to the heel.

Below are some of the major styles that are in for the season that are under $200. Some styles to look into for classic shoes including the infamous double platform heels.

The double platform heels are your best friend, even though they may look like they are made to kill someone. Yes, the heels are deceiving, making you believe the shoes have a higher arch then they really do. The booties are always cute; however you have to be smart on your selection. It’s important to get a pair of booties that aren’t made up of heavy fabric or else it is too wintry. The 80%20 booties (first shoe on second row) are perfect because it is made out of a light fabric, the colors are cool for the season and it has ventilation for the feet. There isn’t much explanation needed when it comes to the sandals, or the basic heel.

Ladies just remember you don’t have to kill your piggy bank to kill every other girl when you’re out. Search and you will find. Looking for more heels for a bargain, check out some other sites like karmaloop, endless, and asos - just to name a few.

Lladies Love: Spring Fashion Y'all!


We're still about a month away from some serious thawing out, but that doesn't mean we can't be prepared for the coming warmth. Body con has been the name of the game for that past three seasons. Alexander Wang continues the trend with a sporty twist. His mix of leather and fleece, paired with gym socks and open-toed booties is truly comfy AND sexy. For Spring in general, waters still flow in that direction but instead of basic black, brights, florals, ikat prints and stripes are on the come-up.

Paul Smith churned out a slick collection to die for, that encompasses almost all of the aforementioned categories. Inspired by the Gentlemen of Bacongo, Lladies of all shapes, sizes, and colors can draw inspiration from the runway looks. And why let our torsos have all the fun? 80%20 and Osborn Design wants us to bring the party down to street level. Of course you can always get your fix with smaller accessories, like a fun mudcloth bag from OAK.

In addition to the solids and stripes of the Sonia Rykiel pour H&M collection, the retailer is rolling out the flirty and fun Garden Collection for the season. Wildfox Couture is definitely rolling with the homies, adding cute printed tanks, funky geometric-print leggings and shorts shorts to the equation. Lots of hot date nights ahead y'all!
