Launched in 2005 by Dalma Dévényi and Tibi Kiss, the Je suis Belle label like its name”refers to a woman’s sense of self, her state of being, and to her aesthetic. For Spring /Summer 2010 Je Suis Belle used paintings by Hungarian artist Attila Szűcs to create fluid silhouettes that highlight his paintings while being casual enough to be worn day to day.A nice, subtle application of artwork on clothing .

Took at look atJshoes and spotted some very covetable footwear options for the spring and summer seasons. The label reinterprets clogs in sleek silhouettes at heel heights that make them more than ever practical. On the next page a look at the Bloom,(above) & Coast clogs s tyles , as well as as the Higher pump . Available at jshoesonline.
Usually this much lace and frills, combined with the color white sends me into a panic with memories of a childhood and a young adolescence filled with pouffy, overly girly accouterments in all the shades of pastel you can think about. ( I’ll spare you the details) However the clever placement of the ruffles , the slim silhouette of this Ida Sjöstedt top make it actually bearable , slightly reminiscent of 60’s lingerie. Available at the ever so on point pixiemarket. More images on the next page.
From manicure expert AllLaqueredUp, we discovered that Katy Perry tweeted pictures of the manicure we wrote about a few days ago. Manicurist to the stars, Kimmie Kyes, is the one responsible for the design, which featured customized tips using Milani Hi-Res polish.
Even though Kelis says “Acapella” is the opposite of fashion-oriented, we very much liked what we saw and thought it was styled beautifully. Above is one of about five looks featured in the video.
After the flip are as many as we could capture, plus a close-up her manicure.
As I’m posting these I ’m a little ambivalent about the silhouette of these sandals but what makes them irresistible is this shade of blue that just stands out from the rest. Industry Fringe sandals via 80s purple.
Here is Kelis’s newest video called “Acapella,” currently No. 1 on Billboard dance charts. The styling is super-tribal and some elements harken back to the recent appearance she made, which caused much of the internet to lose its marbles. Seeing this video, that outfit all makes a lot more sense, doesn’t it? When you’re watching, check out her super-tight mani, bigger-looking boobs, and is that her lil’ baby boy we get a peak of at the end?? [Yes, in answer to my question, it is. His name is Knight Jones and apparently the song is inspired by him.]
“It’s not fashion-oriented at all. Actually, it’s the complete opposite. I think everything is over-fashioned up that it just becomes uninteresting, and when every artist has access to every designer and vice versa, it’s no longer exciting or fun.”
I get what she’s saying. There was a time when you had to actually work to put your look together and it took creativity, too. Nowadays if you’re hooked up with the right stylist and you have a big enough budget, you snap your fingers and you’re a style icon. That being said, gotta wonder if there wasn’t a little bit of shade being thrown there at a certain singer who Kelis has (wrongly) been accused of biting style ideas from.
