The Shoe Genius: Christian Louboutin

Now we all know how the saying goes: diamonds are a girl’s best friend. For me diamonds are a good friend, but my best friend? Shoes, of course. And make that Christian Louboutin shoes to be exact. In my dream world, I would have a closet full devoted to his magical and transforming creations. For now, I just get to lust from afar, but in the meantime let’s take a look at how the shoe genius came to be.

One of the things that makes Christian Louboutin so interesting is the fact that he got his start as an apprentice in the dressing rooms of Paris’ famous cabaret the Folies Bergère. He was extremely inspired by showgirls and wanted to make shoes that would make their legs look amazing, but also that the girls felt comfortable wearing. He was only seventeen years old when he began that apprenticeship and now he has become a regular on the red carpet worn by celebrities and on every fashionista’s wish list. Read more

Beauty Trends for Spring 2011

When people ask me whether I prefer to write about beauty or fashion I always respond with, “They’re the same thing. They’re interchangeable.” You can’t have one without the other; beauty and fashion go hand-in-hand. Your outfit is the centerpiece but makeup and hair are the crowning glory. Think of it this way; if you saw a woman decked out in a gorgeous Louis Vuitton dress with Christian Louboutin heels but her hair looked like a rats nest, her eyebrows were growing into one large caterpillar and her skin was greasy and uncared for, what would you think?
