Fergie has inked another deal, she will be collaborating with Brown Shoe to create her namesake footwear collection “to capture her style sensibilities in a debut collection for spring 2009″. To promote the collection, she plans to make personal appearances and there will also be a dedicated website for the range. I’m anticipating to see what the line will look like, if you’re a retailer you can get a sneak peek at the FFaNY in June. What are your initial thoughts?

“I have always loved fashion because it’s a great way to express your mood. And I’m definitely a shoe lover,” said Fergie. “The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.” via Yahoo!

Me and Christine (Complex) ~ so jealous of her fab Maison Martin Margiela Sandal Ankle Bootie!

After breakfast with Louis Vuitton, I went home to rest up a little before the LRG x Courvoisier Exclusif Party hosted by Complex at Reed Space later on at night. I did a change up with my outfit, kept my H&M top on but threw on my lame’ legging, gladiator sandals and switched to a smaller bag to make the look a bit more fun for the night. When I got there, the party was already jammed packed with people chilling and sipping on Courvoisier, it was so crowded it felt like a sauna up in there but Just Blaze kept the party bumpin’. Regardless of the heat, people were enjoying themselves and even DJ Clark Kent and Shan Foster came through to show some luv. Bigups to my gurl Christine from Complex for another dope party!

To commemorate the Casio G-Shock’s 25th Anniversary, last night they threw a huge party at Guastavino’s to celebrate. Big names like Spike Lee, Eric Haze and Kanye West were amongst the guests that showed up along with VIPs, trendsetters, “streetwear” heads, magazines and friends came to party and to watch the special performance given by none other than Kanye West. At the beginning of the event we were given a press conference about G-Shock, educating us about the history and how it all started. Surprisingly it was quite amusing and interesting, the execs were all very humorous as well! Afterwards, we all were escorted downstairs to have a drink, enjoy the hor’dourves and chit-chat until Kanye is ready.

Finally, Kanye came out to entertain the crowd at around 10:15pm it was definitely worth the wait. He put on an amazing show as usual, his style was on point with his crisp white hi-top Christian Dior kickz and not to mention those dope shades he was rocking most of the night - you already people’s gonna start rocking b/c he did (perhaps they’re from the Ksubi for Pastelle collaboration?). The performance was crazy, if you were there you’d know what I’m talking about! SICK!!! Bigups to Sneaker John for reaching high to take pics for me, it was too difficult for a shorty haha. Thank you to G-Shock for inviting me to a memorable night and I left with a nice little gift box that consisted of the white 25th anniversary G-Shock watch and a t-shirt designed by Haze.

Converse x Kurt Cobain - Chuck Taylor All Star Lyric Edition (Black)

To commemorate one of rock’s most prolific songwriters and reluctant successes, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Converse teamed up with Courtney Love to design a limited edition range that feature artwork and scribbles borrowed from Kurt Cobain’s personal notebooks. Distressed in the way Kurt Cobain wore them, the shoes provide a rarely seen glimpse into the head of this musical and lyrical genius with sketches that display his hopes, dreams and lyrics from amazing songs such as “Come As You Are”. Often pictured wearing Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell or One Star shoes, the collection includes versions of all three shoes with wear and fray detailing and Kurt Cobain’s signature subtly embroidered on the shoe’s outer.

The collection is available in black and white versions with lyric, notebook scribbles or distressed detailing, shoes retail at $50 - $65 and sizing will be available for women and men. Look out for these shoes nationwide at specialty retailers and online at www.converse.com beginning in June (confirmed by Converse rep).

Release dates has been pushed back from May to June, but it’s definitely worth the wait - I especially like the Chuck Taylor All Star Lyric Edition in black.

Lindsay Lohan launched a new contemporary collection of leggings called 6126, the name of the line is inspired by Marilyn Monroe as 6.1.26 is her birthday. I have to say she is quite smart by releasing a product that’s a staple for most women. I can never get enough leggings myself, they’re so comfortable and easy to wear - very chic if worn correctly. On Friday, Lilo along with two leggy models were swarmed by paparrazzis as they shot the look book for her collection. Seems like the line is a variety of black leggings in different materials and details, the knee pads legging looks kinda silly - what was she thinking? But the zippered pair that she was wearing herself looked pretty cute, I’d rock it. I’ll just wait till I see the full range till I make my judgments, everyone deserves a chance right? How do you feel about her new line?
