Hunter Boots: If You Don't Want to Commit to the Knee-Highs

Shoes, Stores

Knee-high Hunter boots are gonna be a hot item this fall, but not everyone can or wants to pull off an all-the-way-to-the-knee-and-beyond boot height. For those who are shorter than average or just prefer a more subdued statement, FreePeople is selling a mid-calf size.

^^Available in olive and chocolate

Lou-Bs: Purple & Yellow Sandals

Fashion, Shoes

Perhaps you've seen these already. I cam across them while looking around MyPrestigium. Yeah, they're super summery and yeah, the official last day of summer is upon us, but I'll admit it, I'm clinging! I'm not ready to trade in my open toes for sneakers/boots! 'Sides, they're not just just LouBs, they're purple and yellow LouBs and no mere mortal can resist that color combo.  It's a known fact.

^^I wouldn't be surprised if I've already posted these on the site.

RihRih: Always Been a Chicks w/ Kicks Kinda Gal

Chicks with Kicks, Fashion, Music

It's adorable how Chris seems to have brought out a more kiddish side of Rihanna and in these images she looks relaxed and cute in her Nike sweats and sneakers, but  RihRih is no newbie to the world of sneakers (which is part of why we lover her style, natch!). Long before she hooked up with Chris (publically anyway) we had images of her sporting a pair of dark denim straight legs with a pair of Nike Vandals.

^^That gold chain she's wearing is probably solid 14K, but it looks a lot like one American Apparel is selling on its site. (You'll have to click to the right to see the kicks she's wearing.)

Henkik Vibskov X Quinny Strollers ect..!

Accessories, Design, Gadgets

A couple of years after college,grad school, your social circle starts  to get married,shack up and of course have babies.On such occasions comes the unevitable baby showers and  the hunt for a suitable offering.I have  to be honest and confess that I have been appaled by the tackyness and overly cuteness of what's out there,more apparent  when it's daddy's time to take the little one, it's a flowery contraption that just  kills the sexy and  any fashion sense mommy and daddy might have but, things are changing!

Henrik Vibskov one of my  designer loves from Denmark partners with Quinny to create baby gear that allows you keep your style while you  take on the urban jungle with your little one...

The Obamas: Sasha is the Feisty One

Gosh, this family is good looking! Here they are, I believe, at the convention the night before Barack gave his great speech. Notice that baby girl, aka Sasha, is the one who's always hamming it up. Personality-wise, she could just be a younger version of her Daddy, cuz her older sister seems very much like Ma.

On the flip, look what went into  the choice behind the orange pant suit Hillary Clilnton wore the night she spoke.

HighSnobette Chats w/ Ebony of NUVANY NI'CE

Accessories, Fashion, interviews

HighSnobette readers are the best !!! Talented,Smart , Creative & Definitely out of the box when it comes to fashion! We got to chat with Ebony of NUVANY Ni'CE, about fashion,trends ect..

HighSnobette-Hello Ebony! thank you for taking the time to do this for us! Nuvany Ni'ce is your site, can you describe it to our readers?


 Wow, thanks for the invitation...I'm an avid reader of Highsnobette, so this is definitely an honor! Okay where do I start, I actually started Nuvany Ni'ce to sell unique finds that I would come across on my weekly shopping excursions. And it has definitely evolved into much more, I do mini-interviews with indie designers and artists, host giveaways, blog about my life, out-n-about(street-style photos,events), a new feature called Grinding(check it :),promote various events...I'm constantly adding new elements to the site and I think that's what makes it unique and keeps things fresh!

-What do you think of Trends in general from shoes  accessories,to apparel?


E- I have never been a trend kinda gal...I can remember in high school I lived in Seoul, South Korea and I bought a pair of tennis ball airwalk shoes(they were literally neon green tennis ball material)..I got clowned so hard for wearing them to school, but it just fueled my creative interest even more...NYC is such a great place to see real creativity in action...When I'm out scouring the streets for style photos for the site, I'm very selective of who I'll snap a pic. of...To me being stylish is not exclusively following trends but being able to mix it up old,new,vintage,high-end,cheap...Whatever goes as long as YOU make it hot!

HighSnobette-What has been you fave trend? if any and your least fave?

E-If I had to pick a trend it would be all the various remixes of African fabrics..I've recently fallen in love with indie designer Maya Lake of Boxing Kitten...She's sick with it, I've been waiting to find someone that designs wearable modern clothing using African fabrics. I'm also a lover of vintage ...Vintage has been very popular lately within the mainstream of fashion, everyones rockin vintage these days...Designers are referring to the past even more for inspiration with their collections. Hmm my least fave trend would have to be people that go overboard with the 80's retro look, head to toe neon, eh eh(in my Nigerian accent)!

HighSnobette-I noticed that you tend to go off the beaten path when it comes to designers, is it intentional or  does it just happen that the labels you feature are not quite mainstream?

E-Its definitely intentional, I've always been a fan of things that are different and not necessarily the norm.  I'm constantly searching for designers and artists that have that "it" factor. It's the WHOLEEE grind of the designers and artists I feature, that motivates me to be a vehicle that links them to the world. The most inspiring part of this whole journey is seeing how one can literally create his/her own destiny by simply following their deepest passion!

HighSnobette-Any word of advice for our readers?

E-Don't allow society to dictate your path in life, pursue your passion whatever it may be and make good decisions because there's always a consequence coming whether its good or bad!

Editor's Note-Ebony Is a proud mother of four little ones, proving to all of us that anything is possible,  seriously,can she look better in those jeans!

Thanks EBONY  U Rock  !!!
