Sassy Stylish Shoe: Christian Louboutin



Besties Khloe Kardashian and Lala Vasquez sported the same Christian Louboutin Miss Fast Plato - Leopard Bootie (priced at $1,095). Lala opted for Balenciaga sunglasses, white skinny jeans and blazer while Mrs. Odom chose army green skinny jeans with matching clutch. I am a fan of both looks and the shoe. It wasnt until this year that I began to like animal print and this shoe is adding to the lust.

Sassy Stylish Shoe: Alexander McQueen


Alexander McQueen's legacy lives on..... The Winged Leather Peep-toe boots (a splurge priced at $1,285), are a statement shoe. The shoes are black leather 5" platforms with a front zipper. The shoes uniqueness is due to the button flaps and golden wings embroidery. Alexander McQueen was a one of a kind designer and will never be replaced in the Fashion Industry. Others may come close but he was in a league of his own and his work speaks volume to his creativity.

Marvelous Misses: Kim Kardashian


Kim Kardashian celebrated her fragrance launch this past Friday at Perfumania and looked FAB as usual. The nude and black color blocked Sass and Bide dress compliments her figure. Nude is a huge trend right now and Kim is showing you how its done. The shoes, dress and sleek pony w/bangs are a SCORE!

I have been on the prowl for Army Green boots and stumbled upon these Capelli New York Rain Boots. I absolutely am in love.....The color is fab for the fall and the laces give them a little umph! What are your thoughts?

Velvet Angels Fall 2010


I had the pleasure of receiving the Velvet Angels Fall 2010 Lookbook and I must say I am impressed. The shoe design and aesthetics are absolutely stunning. Velvet Angels have been worn by celebrities such as: Carrie Underwood, Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Kendra Wilkinson, and Brandy to name a few. In the Fall 2010 collection there is a little something for everyone. Here are few of my favorites. Check out the Velvet Angels site for an array of different shoes.

Kimora Lee Simmons Parts Ways


After 14 years of building a a multi-million dollar brand Kimora Lee Simmons as of September will now be parting ways. Known for her strong work ethics, in your face attitude and grandeur style, KLS will not be gone completely. Kimora will continue on with her other brands Kouture, KLS, and Fabulosity. Although there is no reason that has officially been released rumors have already began.....Personal opinion is sometimes you outgrow certain things (be it big or small). I remember wearing Baby Phat when I was younger but as you get older your perspective on Fashion changes. Be it as it may there is no Baby Phat without Kimora, that I will say. We here at P & Co wish her the best on her many endeavors.

Andre Kim: Fashion Designer and Icon


We are sad to report that South Korean fashion (icon) designer Andre Kim has died at the age of 74. Kim was Korea’s first male fashion designer and in 1966 he became the first South Korean to hold a fashion show in Paris. May you legacy live on....

New York...New York


According to Reuters Life, NEW YORK has come back with a vengence to regain their title. New York is #1 for the world's top fashion capitals. New York held the title of top fashion city for 5 years until Milan came for the throne last year. Hong Kong, London, Paris and Los Angeles follow NY as the top fashion cities while Asia and Australia are not too far behind. Milan, Sydney, Miami, Barcelona and Madrid are all in the top 10 fashion cities as well. I am proud to have been born and raised in a city where FASHION is a major part of people's lives. I LOVE NY!

Throw It In The Bag



I purchased a simple cobalt blue "Neccessary Objects" dress for a business casual event to support Judge Helena Heath Roland's Campaign for Surrogate Court Judge of Albany County. Some of you may be familiar with the name from the 1st Entrepreneur Speed Networking Event that I hosted. She attended and was an absolute darling....I will be supporting her on her journey and will look fab doing so.


Below is additional information about the event I will be attending (Designed: L Design)

Monif C Fall 2010

I absolutley die for Monif C's Fall 2010 Collection. The compilation of chic, sleek and flirty yet fun dresses and jumpsuits will keep you wanting more. My favorite piece is the "Raquel" Fire Print jumpsuit. It is a fresh new take on the ever evolving one piece jumper. Monif C has completely left me speechless (which is rare) with her Fall 2010 line. Although I adore the jumpsuit there is so much more....a retake on her infamous convertible dress (adding 2 color blocks). I encourage you to visit the Monif C website. It is garunteed that you will find an item that will become your MUST HAVE for Fall.

Vanity Fair Best Dressed List

The 71st Annual International Best Dressed List by Vanity Fair has arrived. To see if any of your lovies made the cut check the above link for the remainder Fashion Divas and Divos. Now without further or do here are some of my faves.....
Some of you may not know who Georgina Chapman is (shakes head in shame). So I will help you out....She is the Co-Founder and Designer of Marchesa. She is uber FAB at all times. I Die....

Another one of my faves that are listed as Best Dressed is Pharell. He is definitely always dapper whether it is high fashion or a plain tee, Pharell puts in major work on the runway of life.
Last but never least is my all time fave woman First Lady "O". She is the best to have ever done it. There is no other First Lady to date that has as much beauty and pizzaz as she does. She is more than deserving to make "THE LIST".
