HIGHSNOBETTE

Rihanna performed in Italy this past week and the photogs snapped some shots of her out and about, hitting the stores with her crew. This is no casual day out shopping. Yes, the dress is cute and summery, but check out her perfectly coiffed hair, the tons of accessories (LOVE the necklace), the bangin' bag, but most of all the wicked shoes, which, okay, they look great, but are clearly designed for flossin' as opposed to any serious fashion hunting and gathering mission.

^^Why is it that the regular folk who hang with celebs always look snarlier than the talent? Relax, hun, it aint YOU they're trying to snap.

A couple of closer shots after the flip...

You gotta move fast at PixieMarket. Rheanna Lingham's feather necklace is featured on the home page and that baby is already all sold out.

^^Not to be worn on nights that will involve a lot of dancing and thus sweating.

As it often happens when high-profile couples like Mashonda and Swizz split up, at least one (and usually it's the one who all along has been resenting his/her backseat role) starts showing up at LOTS of events. Is it an attempt to up the profile and get back in the game or a way to put it in the face of the ex that's been left?? Who knows, but whichever it was, Shonda sure was looking cute at recent Kimora-host event she attended:

^^Mashonda looks perfectly summery in an adorable, silk jumper, but it was her shoes, which you can see after the flip, that put the exclamation point on this outfit.

UPDATE: We're told that Mashonda's jumpsuit is DVF. No surprise there cuz we love Diane forever & ALWAYS.

I know. I know. Some of you have been wearing Hunter Wellies for at least a couple of years now and others since you were born, but this fall I have a feeling we're going to see them hit the U.S. shores harder than ever.

^^These ones are being featured in a ShopBop lookbook.

 For as much as I love it when a guy has a great sneaker game there is just something about the one who can appreciate a Wingtip shoe...For all the sneaker wearers who have lost the habit of wearing hard bottom shoes, Shmoove has an amazing alternative of sleek super soft shoes ,that takes men's footwear to a whole new level...

And  the thing is... if I'm going to wear My 4 inch stilletoes it's great for my cutie to look equally dressed up and sleek..sometimes the 3's the Af1's ,the dunks or the pumps just need a break...

If there is anything I found that makes shoe shopping online tedious is the fact that you usually have to look at the entire collection to find  what you are looking for....and then they might not even have your size...The genius minds behind Heels.com figured out a way to make the selection so much easier.you can pick a color, a designer, a size and even your heel height!

Another interesting fact about Heels.com is that they probably have the largest selection of L.A.M.B. shoes (above) out there, a line that I like alot! And then you get Free Shipping & Retuns in the US...what's a girl not to love...

It's been a minute since I've been inspired to stamp something "HighSnobettiest," but you gotta admit these are pretty amazing. Fashion lovers know that the trend these days is to create eye-popping shoes that are the centerpiece of the outfit , but not every big-name designer has been able to pull it off. With his Resort 2009 collection, Christian Dior throws his hat into the ring and hits a bullseye.

Two more on the other side.....

Beach Couture ,based in Spain,Takes the concept of beachwear  and  gives it  an urban/edgy aesthetic, that I have a great appreciation for. Their line of apparel, and accessories, just like their bathing suits is sleek sexy,slightly avant-grade and definitely travel friendly.With a color palette that does not get you noticed from miles away...If you'd like to see what I mean ckeck after the jump for more looks...

I would be lying to you if I said that I love Department stores..although lately....Saks has been really taking risks at least in their womens footwear department..is it the Hot footwear floor they opened a few years back ?or a new Buyer?
