<p>Ms. New New herself donned this almost boring <u>French Connection</u> Strapless 'Wizard' dress, but killed EVERYBODYS shoe game in these  <u>Givenchy</u> Strappy Open Toe Ankle Booties!</p>

<p><strong>Retail $995.00 USD</strong></p>

<p><u><strong>Finally..... </strong></u><br />
on to coursin <strong>Trina</strong> and that expensive but not so cute LV bag.  It's the newest kid on the block from LV and it's in limited quantity.  Im guessing between the bag (providing that it's real) the pack of hair, the glue, the dress, cubic zirconia accessories and shoes, Trina probably spent the rest of her album advance check on the BET Awards, Go "Diamond" Princess GO!</p>

<p><u><strong>Red Carpet Roundoff: Trina V. Rihanna Vs. Keyshia</strong></u></p>

<p>It seems as if the yellow dress & black dye memo got passed around to the stylists last night, cause <strong>Trina, RiRi & Keyshia </strong>showed up looking like a hood version of Destinyâ€™s child in these matching ensembles (Hmmm. Which one's Beyonce? lol).  Naturally the inquiring mind burned with curiosity at who you all would say did the most in their bumble bee get-up! SOHH WHATSAYYOU?? The Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Trina <u>Red carpet </u>Roundoff beginsâ€¦..NOW (ding! ding!)</p>

<p><strong>Lil Mama</strong> ran out of the house again with yet another one of her childhood Halloween costumes on instead of the couture maxi dress her stylist obviously left out for her. Sorry but I'm forced (yet again) to put her on blast for this freakery! But Iâ€™d really like to hear what youâ€™ve gotta say! SOHHâ€¦â€¦. Please fill in the blank: Tuesday night @ the BET Awards 2008, Lil' Mama looked like _______________________.</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>And on to the press roomâ€¦..</strong></u></p>

<p>Oh <strong>Ashanti</strong>, what have we here?? Pin Curls, rogue lipstick and naked thighsâ€¦â€¦U and Nelly must be going to someoneâ€™s prom after this? No? ohâ€¦okâ€¦ <br />
Yea, I'm going to need you guys to get up on this swag for me, simply put: is this a HIT? Or a MISS?</p>

<p><u><strong>Take a good long look.....</strong></u></p>

<p>She might be a crazy fish, but damn if she doesnâ€™t know how to pose for those cameras (flick, flick)!  The new Fall/Winter 2008-2009 YSL ads which feature Ms. Campbell for Yves Saint Laurent were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under the direction of Stefano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent on Avenue George V in March, and will debut in print in August issues worldwide.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><u><strong>Whatâ€™s a Friday without a little fly footwear?</strong></u></p>

<p>I know Iâ€™ve been lacking on my fly footwear Fridays, but nothing has really turned my head until this week when <strong>Rihanna</strong> was on her GGGB re-release promo tour.  She hit up TRL in these CRAZY <u>Giuseppe Zanotti</u> Lace Up boots and I just had to go find em for you!  While the boots seem to not exist on <em><strong>my</strong> </em>internet super highway, I did manage to score front row seats to its equally appealing pump version. SOHH go ahead and dig in! Will you be taking these to go??</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><u><strong>Speaking of Fridaysâ€¦how about a little helping Fresh Off the Runway?</strong></u></p>

<p>Diane Von Furstenberg debuted her Resort 2009 Collection yesterday, much to her peerâ€™s delights!  Most of her pieces absolutely deserved the acclaim given, SOHH Iâ€™ve taken the liberty of highlighting a few of my picks below: Hope youâ€™re hungry!<br />

<p><img alt="VOGUE.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/VOGUE.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>For the first time in history, <strong>Vogue Magazine</strong> [Italia] will be featuring only models of African decent on all its pages!  This has created quite the buzz in the industry as renowned photographer Steven Miesel, took on the entire project called: A Black Issue.  Featuring  four separate covers of <strong>Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn</strong> and <strong>Naomi Campbell</strong> the July Issue of the magazine also features <strong>Tyra Banks, Sessilee Lopez </strong>and (get this) Top Model Contestant: <strong>Toccara Jones</strong>!  Iâ€™m not mad thoughâ€¦â€¦.you??</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>Iâ€™ve Decided!</strong></u><br />
That Iâ€™ve helplessly fallen back in love with Solange Knowles.  As usual fan of the underdog, Iâ€™ve been a Solange fan since before she was anybodyâ€™s mother or [ex]wife for that matter. Meanwhile 5 years later, her sound & style has matured into this full bodied entity thatâ€™s quickly setting her apart from the house that Beyonce built and Iâ€™m digging every moment of it.  </p>

<p>If youâ€™re going to NOT just be your older sisterâ€™s younger sibling then THIS is how you do it (Ray J take note). Get into her swag during recent visits to TRL & 106th & Park below, with that mean Gucci bag in tow ;-).</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><u><strong>Amerie Anyone?</strong></u></p>

<p>While Iâ€™m not exactly sure why weâ€™ve been seeing so much of Ms. 1 Thing so much lately, my spidey senses are tingling that something is on her horizon and her stylist is demanding that we pay attention!  Over the last month or so, sheâ€™s been on many a red carpet and Iâ€™ve yet to be disappointed in any way.  </p>

<p>Subsequently, (I love that word) sheâ€™s hit my style radar with SOHH much goodness that I had no other choice than to give ole girl a lil feature.  SOHH feel free to fall in, itâ€™s good stuffâ€¦..</p>

<p><img alt="Ashton%20amerie%201.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/Ashton%20amerie%201.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>]]>

<p>Itâ€™s not just me right? She is doin the most, Isnâ€™t she?</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>Boots By Balenciaga?</strong></u><br />
Meanwhile back at 106th & Park, my Bajan lil sister <strong>Rihanna</strong> stopped by to promote the re-release of her trendsetting (yes, trendsetting) album <strong>Good Girl Gone Bad</strong>.  Word on the street, according to my sources say that those shoegasmic gladiators are from the <u>Balenciaga</u> 2008 collection, and whilst they resemble the kickers on the front page of balenciaga.com, Iâ€™m just not quite sure.  SOHH until I get this verified, go ahead and get into em anyway.  </p>

<p><img alt="riri2.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/riri2.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>I wish she wouldâ€™ve opted <strong>OUT</strong> of that short set (damn that was so good) though, and maybe had gone with a one piece mini dress and some fun neck accessories.  Iâ€™m just sayinâ€™ though. Naturally I wanna knowâ€¦..<strong>WHATSAYYOU??</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>H&Mâ€¦.hmmmâ€¦â€¦â€¦</strong></u><br />
SOHH last week my H&M Atlanta dreams finally came through, and let's just say, aside from some great accessories, Iâ€™m just gonna go ahead and anticipate their fall collection.  Dare I say that I was only mildly impressed? Yes I dare, this is not my Times Square H&M, but damn if my head, wrists, and eyes arenâ€™t covered with the finest inexpensive accessories this side of wellâ€¦.Atlanta.  Peep a few quick shots of opening day mayhem, lines that wrapped around 2-3 buildings, 2-3 hour waits, some crazy hot sun & an interesting breed of patience.</p>

<p><img alt="hm.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/hm.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>A little uhh.. David Beckham with your morning coffee?</p>

<p>And the rich keep getting richerâ€¦..Now I donâ€™t know what this has to do with soccer or foootball, for that matter, but I'm pretty sure D.Becks is getting broke off (in more ways than one) for this (his 2nd) spread for his Emporio Armani ad campaign.   Immediately 2 questions burned into the inquiring mind, first would any of you let your significant other bare his barely covered twig and berries for the world to see (Posh Spice)? And of course fashionably speaking, are you now inspired to go out and buy some Armani drawers for yourself or that special â€˜â€˜some oneâ€ in your life? Do Tellâ€¦.. (Source: people.com)</p>

<strong>Will Smith</strong>â€™s new summer action thriller â€œHancockâ€ which hits theatres on July 2nd, had itâ€™s French premier in Paris last night.  Lost in the crowd, I found one of our favorite fashionistas and one of the movieâ€™s co-stars who I thought would be perfect for todayâ€™s Red Carpet Roundoff.  SOHH itâ€™s time to vote! The <strong>Charlize Theron </strong>Vs <strong>Eva Longoria Parker</strong> <u>Red Carpet Roundoff</u> beginsâ€¦.NOW! (Ding! Ding!)</p>

I guess the daily â€œThe Viewâ€ glam squad is starting to settle in on her, either way she sure is wearing this Christian Siriano (Project Runway season 4 winner) designed frock! Ms. Goldberg, even gave us a lil heel and toe (<em>while hosting the Tony Awards, Sunday night</em>) in these gold open toed tippers (word? Whoopi in heels?) I gets into it, and Iâ€™m actually kinda proud quite frankly.  SOHH câ€™mon we canâ€™t even front on this one, <strong>TALK BACK</strong>â€¦Say something nice.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Good Morning Monday!<br />
Did everyone have a bright and sunny weekend?<br />
-I hope so!</p>

<p>SOHH Let's Dig In!<br />
The <strong>Much Music Video Awards </strong>were held in Toronto last night, and look who was on hand to â€œtake a bowâ€, our good friend <strong>Rihanna</strong>.  I know itâ€™s been a while since weâ€™ve seen her in our neck of the woods, but thatâ€™s primarily due to her lack of style worthy coverageâ€¦.until NOW.  Submitted for your approval is: (pic 1) RiRi arriving at the MMVAâ€™s in this black & white buckled dress.  By the time she hit the stage, sheâ€™d channeled her inner Village Person, hitting the post award carpets/press room like so.</p>

<p>Usually the rules are: 1 event, 2 celebrities, but I reserve the right to switch it up! So the <u>Rihanna</u> VS <u>Rihanna</u> Red Carpet Roundoff beginsâ€¦..NOW! (Ding! Ding!)</p>

<p><img alt="riri.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/riri.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>If you <strong>HAD</strong> to choose, which was her best look??</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>Meanwhile, back in the lands of the stars, <u>while we were out</u> this weekend, some celebs decided to follow suit. </p>

<p><img alt="sohh6.16.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/sohh6.16.jpg" width="425" height="625" /></p>

<p>1. See Jay-Z leaving Bar Pitti in NYC<br />
2. Mother of toddler twin boys Garcelle Beauvais Nilon (Fancy) out @ the Kira Plastinina US launch party in LA Saturday night.<br />
3. My homegirl, Miss Gabrielle Union @ the Beckley/PSArts Boutique Opening.<br />
4. Beyonce, leading the way out for husband at Bar Pitti in NYC, Saturday.<br />
5. Umâ€¦..(SMH)â€¦YOUR girl, Fantasia, out and about shopping with her daughter Zion.<br />
6. The always chic (even casually) Mrs. Smith out with her family at Kit Kittredge: An American Girl premiere.</p>

<p>Hmmm...I wonder who's weekend swag gets a classy pinky up? & who's deserves another less apologetic finger, and shoulda just stayed home?? <br />
TALK PLEASE.........</p>

<p></p>

<p><u>ROCK it or RACK it: Raven Symone</u></p>

<p>See right what had happened wasâ€¦â€¦.<br />
Somebody please tell me how come?? Why yaâ€™ll let lil Olivia run out the house like this?? I.M.O this is SOHH NOT Raven! But itâ€™s not up to me, so please go ahead and decide because the inquiring mind definitely needs to know: Did Raven Symone (in your honest opinion) ROCK this look? Or does she need to do EVERYTHING she can to RACK this satin tied swag immediately?? </p>

<p><img alt="sonotraven.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/sonotraven.jpg" width="435" height="653" /></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Friday! Finally!!!!</p>

<p>This day couldnâ€™t have come ANY sooner!   Iâ€™ve been waiting almost 2 years since I left NYC and have been affordably fashion deprived ever since!  (Like I almost booked a couple flights up to NY just to re-up my wardrobe).  In case you havenâ€™t guessed by now to what I'm referring to hereâ€™s a really huge hint:</p>

<p><img alt="hmm.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/hmm.jpg" width="450" height="186" /></p>

<p>And if you still donâ€™t get it, please let me say it loud: H&M OPENS IN ATLANTA @ 12â€™O CLOCK SHARP, TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>Any of my ATL Style Mavens (and or H&M heads), Take a peek at whatâ€™s inside this seasonâ€¦â€¦<br />

<strong>Can You Get Into IT???</strong></p>

<p><br />
<u><strong>STYLE STEALER</strong></u><br />
It always interests me when <em>Hollywood-ers </em>end up wearing the same thing, like thereâ€™s SOHH many designers and SOHH many dresses and ensembles, how does that happen?  Maybe great minds think alike, or maybe a hot dress is just a hot dress.  </p>

<p>So goes the case for both <strong>Eva Longoria Parker</strong> & <strong>Kim Kardashian</strong> who were both caught wearing this very chic Navy <u>Ungaro</u> gown.  Eva donned it first at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards, while Kimmy was seen in hers just Wednesday night at the Monte Carlo Television Festival.  Either way, you know the rules, 2 Celebs, 1 Get-up = STYLE STEALER, <strong>Who Wore What Best??</strong></p>

<p><img alt="kimeva.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/kimeva.jpg" width="450" height="450" /><br />
<strong>And your vote goes to?</strong></p>

<p><u><br />
<strong>LOLâ€¦â€¦..</strong></u><br />
Our favorite play cousin <strong>Ms. Naomi Campbell </strong>was up to her usual shenanigans again, lately thereâ€™s been reports of her wanting a child to complete her life and slow her down.  Well if the photos below are any indication of things to come, that baby will be in child protective services and or rehab before he/she turns 2! At any rate, See NayNay leaving a club in Capri Italy escorted by her 'good friend' Marcus Elias HERE:</p>

<p><img alt="nainai.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/nainai.jpg" width="425" height="425" /></p>

<p>Then Whooooops! In the truest Diva form see her moments later dipping back, with a MEAN drunken pass out, HERE:</p>

<p><img alt="nainai2.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/nainai2.jpg" width="425" height="425" /></p>

<p>Eat your heart out Tyra! LOL @ ole boy in the <strong>checkered shirt</strong>, getting his good good laugh on!<br />
Oh Naomiâ€¦â€¦</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>BAD STYLE / GOOD PEOPLE!</strong></u><br />
Meanwhile back in Manhattan,<br />
You canâ€™t tell my 3rd Grandma, <strong>Ms. Patti LaBelle</strong> NOTHING!!!</p>

<p><img alt="patti.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/patti.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>She knows she looks good in this Skittles accessorized get-up.  Iâ€™m giving her up a classy pinky or two for those shades, though I donâ€™t care what anybody says, sheâ€™s doing her most in em!</p>

<p><strong>Wilma Flinstone Much?</strong><br />
<img alt="phifer.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/phifer.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p><strong>Alexis Phifer </strong>(Owner of Fashion label <strong>Ghita</strong> & <strong>Kanye</strong>â€™s EX) hosted her â€œIf Looks Could Killâ€ event on Wednesday night, and it seemed like she was tryna kill, resurrect, then kill again with that stone aged look she was rockin (no pun intended).  Some of these celebs and their style (or lack thereof) sometimes really leaves me wondering â€œIS IT JUST MEâ€?  Help me out, cause <strong>I know yaâ€™ll have something to say!!!</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>FINALLY,</strong></u><br />
Fatherâ€™s Day is this coming Sunday, and I think itâ€™s really important to show some love for all the dadâ€™s out there doinâ€™ the most (and what theyâ€™re supposed to do) taking care of their children.  My dad has been in my life since the day I was born and I donâ€™t know where Iâ€™d be without him.  To that end, I had a request for a lil <strong>Will Smith </strong>a couple weeks ago, and when I ran across these recent shots of him with his son <strong>Jaden</strong> at last weeks MTV Movie Awards, his [always] great style was the 2nd thing that stood right out to me! (Canary Yellow Cardigans with black, red & white Nike Dunk Lows?? Yes Please!!)</p>

<p><img alt="willdad.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/willdad.jpg" width="450" height="563" /></p>

<p>SOHH I thought what a great tradition to start: An Annual <u>1224Style Most Fashionable Father</u>!  This Year Mr. Smith is my pick.  Ever since he married <strong>Jada </strong>[Pinkett-Smith], heâ€™s NEVER disappointed on a red carpet or television screen!!  His dedication to his family and marriage (He says divorce is just NOT an option) is beyond admirable, and is a commitment that is unfortunately growing more and more scarce in many communities and households.  But the reality is, that for every 5 African American fathers whoâ€™s walked away from their responsibilities, there's at least 1-2 that havenâ€™t.  Good times, bad times, bad marriages or financial woes, there are fathers who understood the responsibility of the life they helped create and made their children a committed priority.  To those men, I salute you. Thank You. <u>Happy Fatherâ€™s Day!</u></p>

<p><strong>-SohhStyleMaker!</strong></p>

<p>**Last Minute Addition:<br />
Speaking of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I caught a pic of them attending the Lakers game last night:</p>

<p>Yes. Please!  Do You see this Style Swag?? I can't take it!!!!<br />

<p>Whoops! What happened here?? <br />
<img alt="tichina.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/tichina.jpg" width="450" height="563" /></p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Tichina Arnold</strong> had been on a pretty â€˜okâ€™ streak with her style, so much so that I never really felt the need to seriously put her up for grabs.  <strong>Until NOW</strong>.  What pray tell is this?  Negligee tops and big front pocket BLUE jeans?? IN PUBLIC?? </p>

<p><strong>Benefit of the doubt says</strong>: give her some slack after all she was at a Celebration for Childrenâ€™s Rights, so fashion didnâ€™t necessarily have to be a top priority.  But <strong>STYLEMAKER Says:</strong> Iâ€™m not sure if I care where she was, Iâ€™m calling security, this get-up needs to escorted off the premises RIGHT NOW! </p>

<p>Anyway, report cards are inâ€¦â€¦Tichina Arnold Iâ€™m giving you a <strong>D-</strong>, not because you didnâ€™t deserve an <strong>F</strong> for this, but because youâ€™re a talented actress (who ALWAYS has work) youâ€™re aging VERY well and youâ€™ve been doing the damn thing since I was in diapers (Little Shop of Horrors).  See class? Iâ€™m a compassionate STYLEMAKER, but now itâ€™s your turn, <strong>what grade does Tichina get from you?</strong> Red Markers <u>ONLY</u> Pleaseâ€¦â€¦.</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>Look Who Got our M.E.M.O!!!</strong></u><br />
<img alt="mich3.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/mich3.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>Ahhh BALANCE!!!!  You guys KNOW how I feel about some balance! Just yesterday we had to put poor â€˜Michelle my belleâ€™ on BLAST for that (Matronly? PITTMTH? LoL!) swag she was rockin in that one shouldered number.  Then I stumbled across these corseted, sexy denim and shoes pics from Ms. Williams at 2 events on the same night (Tuesday), wardrobe changed & no malfunctions in sight!  Dare I breathe a sign of relief? Guess weâ€™ll have to wait and see what the next â€˜appearanceâ€™ will bring us.  Until then, one (just one) classy pinky up for Michelle and this look.  Iâ€™m not the only one am I? <strong>You get into this look on her too, right?</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>Bras by Jessicaâ€¦..</strong></u><br />
<img alt="jess.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/jess.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></p>

<p>Simpson that is.  Yes the former Mrs. â€˜Is it chicken or fishâ€™ has been apparently raking in the dough with her namesake line of handbags, shoes, sunglasses and swimsuits.  (STYLEMAKER SAYS: She actually really does have some very cool designs/concepts in her affordable line). SOHH forget you finicky music fans, fashion never goes out of style and ole Jessy apparently got the memorandum.  </p>

<p>Meanwhile, announcements came in this week that sheâ€™ll be launching a collection of bras, panties, sleepwear and daywear that will hit major department stores and shops online just in time for spring â€˜09.  Word is, sheâ€™ll also include a â€˜stylish assortmentâ€™ of shapewear, so panty line worries will be that no more.  Insiders are anticipating $300M in revenue from this collection, SOHH I wonder, will you be letting Jessica Simpson design your unmentionables?? <strong>SPEAK PLEASE......</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>LEMME GET THAT: Carrie Bradshaw!</strong></u><br />
Iâ€™m assuming that youâ€™ve seen the Sex & The City movie by now (If not, we need to talk!) If so, you absolutely shouldâ€™ve noticed the multiple replays on Carrieâ€™s feet.  These are the <strong>Extreme Dior Gladiator Platforms</strong>. Did I mention they were, oh I donâ€™t knowâ€¦..$770? (which actually isn't ridiculous for DIOR)  But you know how I love to gift things to you all, so if you like the get-up Iâ€™m obliged to tell you how to go GET-IT!</p>

<p><img alt="sxc2.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/sxc2.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>Have lunch in THESE pretty cool  (I.M.O) Dior renditions called <strong>â€˜The Candiceâ€™ </strong>available at <strong>Bakers</strong> for a more appetizing $69.95?  Can you get into these?? <strong>Do Tellâ€¦â€¦.</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p>*Tomorrowâ€™s a VERY exciting day for me!  Can you guess the monumental event thatâ€™s about to occur? (If you can, donâ€™t, youâ€™ll ruin my post for tomorrow, LOL) *hint: It's NOT my birthday* SOHH Stay With Me!</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Ah yes! Wednesday!!<br />
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, for Friday is soon approaching!<br />
But firstâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦</p>

<p><br />
<u><strong>Get Me Bodied!</strong></u><br />
A little <strong>Serena</strong> with you morning coffee??</p>

<p><img alt="serena.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/serena.jpg" width="450" height="300" /></p>

<p>Yes Maâ€™am! See tennis icon <u>Serena Williams</u> doing the MOST in this monthâ€™s issue of <u>Ebony Magazine</u>.  I for one am not only proud of her (and her sisterâ€™s) accomplishments, but sheâ€™s continued to be a positive role model that young people (not just ladies) can look up to.  Even in this revealing spread, thereâ€™s a hint of playful elegance that she pulls off just right! I know when she first hit the scene, she was pretty rough around the edges, but look at this beautiful, determined, young woman sheâ€™s blossomed into, one who takes her craft with the utmost seriousness and dedication!  CLASSY PINKIES up for Serena Williams, my 1224STYLE maven of the week!!!<br />

        <![CDATA[<p><u><strong>STYLE STEALER</strong>: LiLo Vs Nicole Richie.</u><br />
New mom and funny as heck co-star of â€˜The Simple Lifeâ€™ <u>Nicole Richie</u> first made heads turn in these <u>Balenciaga Gladiator booties</u> a couple months ago.  This weekend however, look who was tiptoeing around in the same shoe, accompanied by a pair of *ahem* â€œbootyâ€ shorts.  Naturally my inquiring mind burned with the question of <strong>who wore this stolen style best?</strong></p>

<p><img alt="lilonrich2.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/lilonrich2.jpg" width="450" height="563" /><br />
SOHHâ€¦.who gets your vote? Nicole? or Lindsay?</p>

<p><strong>Speaking of these Balenciaga booties,</strong> the inquiring mind also wonders if you even like them? And if you do, but couldnâ€™t afford the price tag, would you wear these??</p>

<p><img alt="balen%20knkoff.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/balen%20knkoff.jpg" width="400" height="400" /></p>

<p>Apparently, Richy Rich of the now letâ€™s say suspended <strong>Heatherette</strong> line, are to be blamed.....uh....credited for the design of these imposters.<br />
(<strong>StyleMaker Says</strong>: While thatâ€™s all well and good, if I see you in the streets with these on, It's over, I want a divorce, and I'm taking the kids to mother's!)</p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>ROCK IT or RACK IT</strong>: Michelle Williams</u></p>

<p><img alt="rockrackmwills.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/rockrackmwills.jpg" width="400" height="600" /></p>

<p>Hmmmâ€¦â€¦ something in the water ain't rightâ€¦..I canâ€™t put my finger on it, but I'm guessing its those high school highlights, that Iâ€™m going to thank Ashanti for, for making people think it was ok to bring back.  The rest of Michelle, Iâ€™ll leave up to you.  How do we feel about her in this single shouldered mid printed maxi dress?? Is she rockin it? Or should it have been left on the racks??  <strong>TALK TO ME!</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p>Finally, I couldnâ€™t resist adding a part 2 to, the battle of gaudy get-ups from the TV Land Awards. SOHH here it is, <u>The Red Carpet Round Off</u>  of <strong>Kim Whitley </strong>Vs <strong>Beverley Johnson</strong> startsâ€¦now! DING! DING!</p>

<p><img alt="rrrkim.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/rrrkim.jpg" width="450" height="563" /></p>

<p>Again I askâ€¦â€¦'And the winner is'??</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday,<br />

        <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to your Tuesday!<br />
Letâ€™s hit the ground running shall we?</p>

<p><strong>First order of business</strong>â€¦..What the!? Iâ€™m not even sure just where to start with this, but this is what happens when you let your children O.D. on <strong>Beyonce!</strong>  Unfortunately there is no pill or remedy for this fashion â€˜hell noâ€™, but Iâ€™m sure you couldnâ€™t tell LaQuayQuay nothing on her prom night.  Too bad for her, we can say something nowâ€¦so <strong>WHATYOUGOTTASAY</strong> about this get-up? Please please, Holler back!</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Moving right alongâ€¦..<br />
<strong>From NO MAâ€™AM to YEZZIR!</strong><br />
See <strong>Pharrell</strong> posed and clutched on this monthâ€™s cover of PAPER MAGAZINE!  Say what you want about that mean Berkin Bag (he says its NOT a murse, its his travel bag) but apparently this young Hermes piece costs about as much as a â€œhigh end Mercedesâ€.  You know the saying, if you got itâ€¦â€¦.</p>

<p><img alt="4reelz.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/4reelz.jpg" width="450" height="563" /><br />
I get into P's easy skaterboy style, DO YOU?</p>

<p><br />
The TV Land Awards were held on Sunday night and a couple noteworthy celebs came out to attend, strolling along the red carpet I found The ever beautiful Vanessa Williams and the always bootyful (sorry, lol) Mrs. LisaRaye McCoy-Misik, (First Lady of Turks & Caicos), <br />
<strong>-StyleMaker Says: â€œboy, you never know where life will take youâ€. </strong>Anyway I wondered what you all thought of these two and their TV Land swag? You know the rulesâ€¦.1 event, 2 celebsâ€¦.<strong>WHOWOREWHATBEST??</strong> The Vanessa Williams vs. LisaRaye <u>RED CARPET ROUNDOFF</u> beginsâ€¦â€¦â€¦.now! (ding! ding!)</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Its weird because for some odd reason, whenever I used to hear the name <strong>Marc Jacobs</strong>,  Iâ€™d think of <strong>Mark Ecko </strong>and would therefore not pay much attention to either.  But damn if my senses werenâ€™t forced into perspective when I ran across <u><strong>MARC JACOBâ€™s 2009 Resort collection</strong></u>!  Its about 3AM and Iâ€™m sitting here overdosing on this tapestry of colors, textures and HEARTS!  Trust me you NEED to get into this! So go ahead and indulge, quick, while youâ€™re boss isnâ€™t looking!</p>

<p>And because you've GOTTA walk too!.....<br />
<img alt="mjresort3.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/mjresort3.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>I SOHH heart this 80's enthused, funk of embroideries, silks, colorful prints and bows...I'm wondering though, <strong>DO YOU??</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p><u><strong>Because: Strobe lights really do make everything sexier!</strong></u><br />
Do you like her style? (<em>yea</em>) her sexy, sexy, sexy? Not sure if youâ€™ve seen this promo pic for Janetâ€™s upcoming <strong>ROCKWITCHU</strong> tour, but doesnâ€™t she look like, â€œyes, Iâ€™d like two tickets please, thanks!â€ I agree. Iâ€™ve been a JDJ fan since she was doing back flips off of speaker boxes in empty dance studios and have yet to see her live in concert. Iâ€™m thinking I might have a decade or two (because I was 5 years old twenty years ago) to make up for.  Anyway back to this pic, the shoes, the hair, that pose, Iâ€™d Rock Wit herâ€¦â€¦â€¦wouldnâ€™t you??</p>

<p><img alt="jdj.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/jdj.jpg" width="450" height="563" /></p>

<p>By the way, Jan told me to tell you to call her : <strong>323-622-8139</strong>, Dig in to that!</p>

<p><br />
<u><strong>A Little Iman with your morning coffee??</strong></u><br />
-Just because sheâ€™s timelessly gorgeous!<br />
and because even in her mid 50â€™s sheâ€™s wearing the heck outta that emerald green Donna Karen pleated cocktail dress!! <br />
Peep her attending the 5th Annual Wayuu Taya Fundraising Gala last night:<br />
<img alt="imancllge.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/imancllge.jpg" width="450" height="563" /></p>

<p><u><strong>Get Supported!</strong></u><br />
<img alt="jilly.jpg" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/jilly.jpg" width="450" height="450" /></p>

<p>I donâ€™t remember why I chose not to post the original story about Jill Scottâ€™s new line of bras sheâ€™s launching with Ashley Stewart, but never the less, Wednesday night Jilly from Philly celebrated the official debut of her â€œButterfly Bra & Underwearâ€ collection.  Sheâ€™s so gorgeous, so I wonâ€™t say anything â€˜not niceâ€™ about her or her guestâ€™s get-ups. See? Easy!</p>

<p></p>

<p>Finally, letâ€™s play a quick game of <strong>HIT or MISS</strong>, only this time, letâ€™s toss <u><strong>Kelly Rowland</strong></u> into the rink.  Hereâ€™s Kells at the MTV Xbox party yesterday in Australia, giving you all her gorgeous legs for days! In short, Iâ€™m gonna go with HIT, but you know this inquiring mind wants to know, what say you? <br />

Make it GREAT & please, if nothing else make sure that weekend swag is on point!<br />
