Kourtney Kardashian: Pretty, But With Ill-Fitting Furs


The Kardashian sisters, once again, are very pretty women and wear very nice clothes. In terms of fashion best, the best-dressed in Kim Kardashian, next is Kourtney Kardashian, and last is a close third: Khloe Kardashian. But right now... I don't know what's going on with Kourtney.

She attempts to be fashionable in leopard, only she falls short with not one, but both items (shoes and coat) being way too big. Kourtney appears to be swallowed up in this Funktional Leopard Fur Coat ($770) with the sleeves too long, and take a close look at her heels; the back of it has too much space, that creates the tendency of the shoes to sometimes "plop on, plop off..."

But hey, she still pretty.

CHRIS BROWN 'Heard' Me; Went Back To Swagg

Remember that post I put up about Chris Brown's uggggggly boots...shoes... SHO-BOOTS... I still don't know what it is. But Chris Brown was spotted hosting a party in Decatur, Georgia wearing some appropriately loud hip-hop clothes. It's a good look on him. He was wearing TI$A cap and sneakers ($125).

I would wear it; I could...


Check out Chris Brown FAIL the other day with them boots...

*LOLOLOLOL*

DIDDY Rocks Maison Martin Margiela Distressed Jacket

Hey everyone, got a bunch of things on my agenda so I'm doing a couple of fly-bys today; I passed by UpscaleHype and found this: Check out Diddy wearing a nice, antiqued Maison Martin Margiela leather jacket ($2,195). Would you wear this and go ROCKER and BONKERS? :-)

Diddy is really feeling that '80s/early '90s vibe with the haircut he's showing off.

STYLE REVIEW: Kim Kardashian

We know about the Kardashians, people try to keep up with them...they just aren't keeping up with the Joneses anymore because the Kardashian sisters seem to be the ones to follow. In this world of reality TV, many people have this urge to see so much of behind the scenes with family, and that really gets cable ratings going up..well...it depends on the show. Some shows just SUCK. But that's besides the point.

So, I've been watching Kim Kardashian's style for a little while since I see her...hmm... just about everywhere, from what she's wearing to who she's dating now. But let's focus on the fashion. Kardashian has got a lot of women sprucing up their looks to look good for their man, while the name 'Kardashian' is easily mentioned when the subject of fashion and beautiful women/female stars pop up.

Kardashian, to me, has a very reserved style, not too many loud colors, and every piece she wears together as an outfit seems to be cohesive--most of the time. She shows a lot of skin surely, but her sense of style remains consistent among 'borderline conservative' (if that's the right word for it)...

Peep her styles below:

Kim Kardashian in Christian Louboutin 'Alta Bouton' ankle boots ($1,495),
Chanel bag & black gold-studded sweater
(SIDEBAR: Ciara is wearing a $6,200 BALMAIN blazer!!!!)


Ms. Kardashian is well on her way to FASHIONISTA status..

TRINA Goes Red-Head; New Throwback Trend

Rapper TRINA is apparently following in Rihanna's footsteps--well she usually does-- but it doesn't look bad on her at all. Are there any ladies going RED, all shades of red, for 2011? I know my hair won't be red---duh-- but it'll sure be crazy, crazy , CWWWAZZZY!!!

Oh, by the way, if you don't think Trina copies Rihanna (she doesn't do it often though, check out comparison picks at the end of this blog post..


Rihanna and Trina in Dolce & Gabbana Polka Dot Jumpsuit


DRAKE in Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket


(Just doin' a fly-by) Drake was spotted at Hot 97's Thanksgiving Concert with Nicki Minaj. While i'm here talking about them, I can't stress enough that even though I feature celebs and music artists, I don't talk about their music or whatever it is they do, I just look at the fashion. Drake was wearing a limited edition Canada Goose Chilliwack Jacket with fur lining interior and on the hood for $900. Like the coat, Detroit?

DAVID BECKHAM in Denim Miltary Shirt (Must-See!!)

This look caught my eye, a nice denim shirt worn by David Beckham that we guys can wear when we're just chillin on the couch, out with friends, even under an evening blazer for a nice dinner. A denim shirt really defines the word "CASUAL." The shirt is so-named "Burberry Prorsum stonewashed denim shirt" for $275.

You can find PLENTY anywhere for less: Old Navy, Target, Gap, even a THRIFT STORE. But the shirt doesn't even matter if it doesn't fit right. Make sure that your denim shirt is as close to your body as possible. TOO BIG is not a good look.


SWEEET Studded Chuck Taylors Worn By Avril Lavigne

Check out Avril Lavigne spotted out shopping wearing these dope leather Chuck Taylors with studs ALLLL OVER IT. It's priced at appx. $200+ . I think it's worth it, for both male and female, if you could rock these shoes with slim/fitted jeans (SLIM FOR GUYS, FITTED FOR FEMALE) and a SWAGG-ful leather bomber jacket. For accessories, maybe a studded bracelet or silver watch.

For Detroiters, you can probably find these exclusive Chuck Taylors in some sneaker boutiques or high-end department stores.

Okay, I'll be back for STYLE REVIEW shortly...

LeBron James' Fiance Throws Down For Thanksgiving!

We know that in a world full of groupies (I'd call that Miami), many wives, fiances and girlfriends of professional athletes have to work extra hard to maintain their image and sexiness to appeal to their husbands. But not SAVANNAH, Lebron James' fiancee. She is dressed down, down, down-to-earth with a scarf and a nicely worn plaid shirt. Check her out:



I don't think SAVANNAH has to worry. With that delicious food that she cooks (and she really does cook), Lebron ain't ever leaving. That's a very good bet.

KANYE To Release Fragrance/Collaboration With LANVIN

Quick and brief news: I was browsing the Internet and I came across this news source about Kanye West releasing his own fragrance, "so you can smell like him."

Makes you wonder what he smells like. THE OLD SPICE MAN?? I don't know, but anyway...

When I look at all of these celebrities releasing their fragrances, I wonder if they smell exactly like their fragrance (it's not a dumb thought; just plain curiosity) because some of the scents that I have smelled... stinks.

Kanye is presently working with Parlux Fragrances, a limited but renowned fragrance company which makes colognes and perfumes for many celebrities of late. He is also working with LANVIN for a high-end collaboration, which I'm sure will be really nice because West has revitalized the traditional Louis Vuitton with his sneakers, T-shirt, and bag collections (see pic below) .

Wow, seems like Kanye is steadily becoming that "artist," not just of music, but bringing arts and fashion to the masses..

CONVERSE Soho Shoe Store Display Largest Of Its Kind

Converse Soho Store - A Look Inside

CONVERSE will open their Soho, New York store on November 26th, a perfect time for Black Friday; you know the place will be packed. Plus, this store caught my eye because it will feature the largest shoe display of its kind: An American flag MADE ENTIRELY FROM CHUCK TAYLOR SHOES.

Here's the press release below:

The shop will carry the largest Converse footwear offering worldwide, which by itself is already pretty impressive. The shoe wall, leather area and apparel area is also looking good. Most interesting is for sure the customization section, where you will be able to give Converse sneakers your own personal touch.
“The store’s design features speak directly to Converse’s distinct sport and rock ‘n roll heritage. Converse worked with New York based architecture firm Jennifer Carpenter Architect to preserve as much of the original details of the 110 year old building as possible. The single floor retail space is approximately 7,000 square feet using several reclaimed and natural elements to create a vintage inspired feel. From old gymnasium bleachers and recycled wood flooring to re-used Brooklyn factory parts and iconic New York City imagery, all in-store elements blend to create authentic design details. Tying back to the brand’s 102 year old American heritage, a 13-foot by 35-foot American flag made from 648 pairs of red, white and blue Chuck Taylor All Star shoes will welcome visitors and can be seen through the storefront window.
Taking center stage of the space and the first of its kind is a 40-foot wall featuring an expansive Chuck Taylor All Star footwear collection. White tiled walls throughout the space pay homage to the New York City subway, creating a unique backdrop for the new denim collection, which features 24 styles for women and men.”



NICE HUH?

Think of that shoe display... The CONVERSE Wonder Of The World ... Or could anybody break this record?

RIHANNA's Such A Lady In "INTERVIEW" Magazine



Rihanna is quite the fashionista besides her music, and I admittedly do follow her and her style a lot. She is plastered in so many fashion magazines, articles, blogs (including mine) and so much more. Her style is so captivating, so right. If she ever wanted to leave the music world, she could easily be recognized as a supermodel. REALLY. She, dressed this way, would also command all of your attention if she was sitting at your table for Thanksgiving *lol*.

Check out her pics. She was also interviewed by Kanye West.

Kanye in Roberto Cavalli

Since this is the Thanksgiving holiday and a little side entertainment may be needed, I wanted to release a couple of couture photos seen on celebs and local people. I found these great photos on quality, up-to-date fashion websites. Enjoy!!

Happy Thanksgiving from "The Only JAIDEN"

Dear Reader,

I just want to say with all my heart, even though I may not know who you are, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. This is a time to truly give thanks and be grateful for all help received in times of trouble, and being thankful for being surrounded with love as you spend time with your family and friends.

Sometimes family may argue or may not be the key or "ideal" family that you may want to spend the holidays with, but I believe at this critical time, all differences should be set aside to welcome an open heart and open arms because it will truly make a difference in your day.

Remember to "KEEP IT 100" and even though it's Thanksgiving and you're being comfortable, look your best at all times; show your family how good you look!! :-)

-Joshua
"The Only Jaiden"

STYLE: Jennifer Freeman from "MY WIFE & KIDS"

You got to admit that actress Jennifer Freeman from acclaimed syndicated Wayan Bros' show "MY WIFE AND KIDS" looks great... a very subtle yet sultry look with an slightly off-the-shoulder, one sleeved candy apple red dress, complimenting her beautiful black locks are black stilettos (probably by Gucci or Christian Louboutins)...
