EVE Goes Crazy Fashionista; Wears BIG WILD HAIR In NYC!

Check out rapper EVE going super fashionista by wearing this crazy big hair that she donned for some fashion show and performance in NYC. Sidenote: I miss her show 'Eve', I still watch it on TV ONE Network.

Anyway, that huge leopard print dress, big hair, and sans-makeup remove Eve far from her rapper persona to the world of supermodel. Hmm... crazy... but I like it.

Beyonce and Jay-Z in NYC w/ Blue Ivy Carter; Bey in Isabel Marant Sneakers

Nice to see this new family going around town, especially having a child who is already a brand: BLUE IVY. Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted in NYC in their street clothes looking SWAG-a-licious. Jay had on his usual street great with Air Jordan sneakers (what I like about his look is that it's STREET, but never TOO street).

Bey has these vintage glasses, beanie, leather jeans, and Isabel Marant sneakers (the sneaker with a CONCEALED heel) for $725.

NIIIIIIICE.

Art On Your Shoes, Ladies: Keith Haring x Nicholas Kirkwood Wedge Heels

Heels are becoming more and more abstract and designers are including the love of art on them. What has famously graced NYC walls and art galleries were these drawings by Keith Haring, and they're now incorporated onto the fashion world. I have seen Keith Haring do collabos on jackets, pants, now THESE heels.

Check out the Keith Haring x Nicholas Kirkwood Wedge Heel (printed leather). It's sure to have people staring like they're actually in an art gallery, beholding this masterpiece.

Excerpt from SWAGGER: Actor Ebeneezer Sowah In Def Swagg!!

Here's an excerpt from SWAGGER NEW YORK online magazine/blog about actor Ebeneezer Sowah. He was supposedly stopped on the street and this picture captured of him strolling in the West Village (New York). He was complimented on his all-brown look, which I think is TOTALLY ILL! (Super nice) I'm liking the use of different materials from head to toe, the way all the different hues of brown blend in harmony and swagger.

See the excerpt:

A smart actor knows he must always look the part, especially in this city. With high-profile gigs everywhere - often snatched up after a swift handshake or upon an agent run-in on the street - one must always be prepared. And for Ebeneezer Sowah, his next role may be closer than he ever imagined. We ran into the New York actor in the West Village, intrigued by his ability to rock a monochromatic look that doesn't fall flat. Sporting all brown from boot to gorgeous leather backpack, Shah looked ruggedly urban, telling us that he's ready to take on any audition that comes his way. Hmm.. a suave hiker who's instantly become the talk of the city streets? Hey, you never know, could be the role of a lifetime.

Beyonce’s NYC Show Sells Out in Just 22 Seconds

If you were hoping to see Beyonce during her four-night residency at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, you’ve been officially shut out. In fact, tickets for the first show were gone in 22 seconds.

Last week, the R&B diva announced “4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce,” where the singer would be performing her latest album, ’4,’ from beginning to end. Tickets went on sale to the general public on Wednesday via Ticketmaster, and all four concerts were sold out by the end of the day.

“It’s official @Beyonce’s 4th & final show at Roseland Ballroom is SOLD OUT!” Bey’s record label, Columbia,tweeted. “Thats a total of 4 sold out shows next week!”

The singer will get in an empire state of mind on Aug. 14, 16, 18 and 19, treating fans to live renditions of songs like ‘Run the World (Girls)’ and ‘Best Thing I Never Had.’

Beyonce teamed up with Target to release a deluxe edition of ’4,’ which includes an exclusive disc of three bonus tracks, so it will be interesting to see if the star includes those songs in her Roseland set.

They might be a good options for an encore — just sayin’, B.

RIHANNA Spotted Out In NYC's Heat Wave... Wearing Just A Shirt!

You know how Rihanna do.

If you've followed her over the past couple of years and see what I found her wearing several times, whether she was performing or whether she was strolling down the street, then you would not be shocked by the above picture.

Man.... RiRi can wear anything and make it look good, and right now, that shirt looks very fashionable. Rihanna even dressed the shirt up with simple gold hoop earrings and PRADA stacked brogues.

Ladies.... there's your template....

Selita Ebanks

Recently was the NEW YORKERS for CHILDREN GALA in Manhattan. It is considered one of the largest charity events in New York and it's all about New Yorkers (and other U.S. residents) who care about children. Many models and actresses were there and just looked simply beautiful.

See who was there and gracing the red carpet at this amazing event (I love charitable functions; it's so enriching to the soul):

ZAC EFRON's White-Boyy Swag *LoL* (I meant it in a good way)

This is a good look!! ZAC EFRON is really "down the street and around the corner" from High School Musical looks. This 23-year-old actor is coming into his own cool style. Spotted most recently in the above picture at LAX after returning from New York City, this is CERTAINLY a cool way to travel, or even be out with friends.

*FIST BUMP* To Zac.

KIM KARDASHIAN Looking Good After Getting Kicked Off Stage by PRINCE

Gotta hand it to her. REALLY. Even the haters too have to admit that Kim is on her fashion game. It's undeniable in front of my eyes. From the interesting print dress she wore when she was kicked off the stage by "not dancing to the beat," to her look above, in NYC. PRINCE just had to do it. After all, he is a DIVO and his stage is his stage.

In the pic above, Kardashian wore a Burberry Prorsum studded sleeve twill trench coat for nearly $4,500. She paired it up with equally extravagant and eye-catching "Maggie" Louboutins for $895.

Like the look? I do. I know what I'm talking about and know what looks good on a woman.

BEYONCE In NYC Before Monster Snowstorm Hit

As you know or if you're experiencing it, much of the Eastern seaboard and Northeastern U.S. is blanketed in snow, some areas in heavy snow and blizzard-like conditions. Everyone's slipping and sliding, trying to get to where they need to go (if they really have to go somewhere). WE'RE JUST ONE BIG AMERICAN FAMILY WITH FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW (that was random).

Even major celebrities are experiencing the conditions. Superstar BEYONCE was spotted in New York City heading inside a place for a bite to eat. Yup, she was feelin' the effects of the storm, too, trying to keep her hood on her head in the wind gusts.

But Bey looked GOOD. Her bag was the talk of the town already. I call it "THE 3-D BAG." The bag is a Bottega Veneta brick leather bag for $2,450. This bag is considered unique because it can morph into 2 different shapes: a Hobo and a smaller, rectangular version by simply folding and compressing the bag. Talk about 2-IN-1. For $2,450, it better do SOMETHING like that.

Cool digs...

CONVERSE Soho Shoe Store Display Largest Of Its Kind

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?
