Metro.Pop mag has just won my love all over again by featuring NYC's own Erin Magee ,the designer/founder of Made Me on their Cover.

At a news stand near you!

I discovered Lady Caprice Magazine while hanging out at the Younity HQ's this week-end.I was so excited to see that concept of fashion outside of the box has spread and that women are deciding to create their own outlets for it:

"Lady Caprice Magazine is the premier French publication that focuses on lifestyle choices and topics that affect the modern urbanista. We focus on urban couture and culture for the woman who wants to live outside of the box, stand
out and make a statement. "

I luv it!!!!

Andrea Crews was featured on Hintmag where Maroussia Rebecq  opens up about her process and the ideas behing the very creative out of the box label.

Style has up its fave shoes, bags and accessories from the French and Italian shows. These Louies were my fave of the faves:

^^Bad-ass, yet still flirty. A combo I love.

Living doll KimK recently posed for a Radar Mag photo shoot. The theme was the long ago and legendary Brooke Shield CK jeans ad campaign. In her interview with the mag, she gave the best comeback punch ever when she responded to Paris's description of her butt as gross by panning, "If Paris Hilton thinks my butt looks gross I really don't care. At least I have a butt." Exactly, Kim! Where did crazy Paris get off thinking that all the world loves a backless wonder?? Cheez!

This story was snatched from one of my new favorite blogs, BubbleGumPonys. Go visit and buy one of her I Love NY totes and check out her awesome self-made manicure.

BlackGirlintheCity is a site you visit when you've done all the pretty pictures and you find yourself hankering for something a little more substantial. Words that'll actually make you think, ya know??

I linked to her hysterical recount of an encounter with a Marc-Jacobs-bag-owning idiot not long ago, but the story I'm linking to here is a little different. In it, she talks about shedding an ex. Like any good writer, she writes in layers and while she reveals what she believes are her own lessons, there's plenty of space between the lines for us to draw our OWN conclusions.

Here's an excerpt:

My ex has finally decided to move on.  Good for effing him!  Lol.  We were the best of friends with a strong history until true feelings got involved.  Its funny how people tend to be on their worse behavior when falling or being in love.

^^Dear BlackGirl: He so aint over you!

And as for her comment on Hillary, she said it, not me! And though I gave up using the word bitch as a 2008 resolution, I hafta admit Hill is pushing me to the damn edge!

Still missing you! 

Over at Ultimate-Rihanna there are new scans of RhiRhi from her Afro magazine (sorry, couldn't find the link) cover story. Within the story, she's wearing a dress that's stupid amazing. I hope whoever is hooking RhiRhi up with her fashion is being well compensated 'cause she deserves it for doing such a great job of setting this young woman so far apart from the pack just via her clothing choices alone. Not that I think RhiRhi is totally being constructed from the outside, but how she's being dressed is not small part of her image.  

^^Don't know who made the dress

Lunch break!

While attending the opening night party for the Brooklyn Museum Murakami exhibit, Kanye West was interviewed by New York magazine:

NYMag: Murakami says you're mostly drawn to his work involving women with large breasts?

Kanye: it's true. I have liked big tits ever since I was a kid. I was breast-fed too long. It messed me up!"

In which case, we're dedicating this image to you, Kanye!

A few posts back, I highlighted a Complex fashion editorial that featured Tampa Bay Rays center fielder B.J. Upton and his brother Justin, who plays for Arizona. I mentioned that given what a hottie B.J. was, I'd be looking forward to watching the Rays compete against the Yankees.

^^Good looks rating currently in jeopardy

Well last night the Yankees played the Rays and at first it was great because the Bombers were crushing the Rays, but then things started turning and damned if B.J. didn't help tie up the game with a home run shot in the 7th!

So I'm thinking, maybe he's not so cute, after all!!

Madonna is on the cover of May's Elle magazine looking her usual hot and charismatic self, qualities brought to the forefront by Tom Munro's outstanding photography.

As far as Ms. Ciccone-Ritchie is concered, I have this theory that the more nicknames a person has, the more legendary. In the case of Madonna we have: Boy Toy, Madge, Daisy, Mo, Material Girl, Esther. etc.

I rest my case.

Here's a taste of the shoot:

^^She's wearing a silk/cashmere sweater by Halston; a patent vinyl bra by Deborah Marquit and those ultra-sick boots? Why Miu Miu of course!

And on another note, but still speaking of Elle magazine, by now I take it you know that Nina Garcia is out from her job as fashion director as Elle. I know there's a lot of speculation about what happened, but I'm thinking they gave her the shove 'cause she just didn't have time with all her other Fashion Runway obligations to do her job right! All that gossip being said, the very latest update from MediaBistro is that she's still in talks with Elle to keep up some sort of mutually beneficial connection.

Late-breaking update: I am so on it! I was just reading this snippet on PerezHilton:

"She became too busy with Project Runway the last year to two," a mag insider tells us. "Nina had been spending about 8 hours a week on average actually in the office and working, and had her 2 assistants doing all of her work for her."

Did I not say that exact same thing??
