For those of you who missed the Superbowl half time show we mentionned earlier. Enjoy!

Like always Nicholas Kirkwood  sets himself apart with ingenuity and a design flair that makes him iconic in footwear design. Spring 2012 sees lots of colors various heel heights  with one style more lustworthy than the other. Picking favorite is next to impossible so while we give you a peek on the flip you can see the whole collection here. If you happen to be in New York, Saks give you the opportunity to meet Nicholas Kirkwood himself this coming Thursday(!) more info here.

Watch as Giselle gets heckled by Giants fans in the video above as she leaves the stadium after yesterday’s Superbowl. In the video you can hear her say, “My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” referring to her husband Tom Brady’s passes dropped by New England Patriots receivers.

First impression–even just being a regular person she stands out as really tall and oh-so-striking with her long, sexy hair. Second: I love her unfilteredness (see prior quotes on breastfeeding and sunscreen) in general and here it’s expressed in the form of loyalty–a trait that wins her bonus points with me. Third: But she shouldn’t blame Tommy’s teammates, that may be okay in the me-me-me world of supermodels but in sports it is often said there is no “I” in team. And finally, I feel for her having to deal with sports fans and their often extra-mean-for-the-fun-of-it, anti-female, fashion and foreigner mentality. Check any of the comments sections for this story elsewhere and they are awful. I always think the fashion industry is cold-hearted, but it’s a fluff ball compared to sports.

Style, elegance and a little edge in the Snobette way of life is often hard to find when it comes to the quintessential wedding dress.  Frankly we’re tired of the succession of  strapless gowns worn by all women uniformely . The strapless wedding dress trend seems to have gon on forever. Thankfully,  Elihav Sasson’s 1920’s inspired bridal collection takes hints from lingerie with various silhouettes that spell glamour with a capital ‘G’ yours truly is smitten.

Agyness Deyn Wearing Dr. Martens

R. Griggs, owner of the Dr. Martens for over 50 years, is looking to sell the brand. Just ten years ago, it was on the edge of disaster, but it’s been on the upswing lately with sales in 2011 up close to 33 percent over the year prior, benefitting from a return to punk trends combined with the current craze for “heritage” brands (not to mention better design and marketing efforts). The boots are now manufactured for the most part in China and Thailand though the brand’s original factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, was reopened in 2007  to make special edition boots.

There are plenty of larger shoes companies who have made it known that they’re sniffing around for acquisitions, so it will be interesting to see who snatches up Dr. Martens. Definitely it’s not finished its growth trajectory yet, though one has to guess that is a known fact and it won’t come cheap as a result.

The fashion world was buzzing over the Givenchy fashion featured in Madonna’s half time performance for the Super Bowl. M.I.A. also rang up some attention-seeking points when she gave the finger (see image on next page) and sang, “I don’t give a shit,” at the end of her performance. They’ll be speculaton on whether or not that was planned mutually by all, though kind of doubtful given the negative career trajectory of the last performer who chose to go off script. Much more likely that as of now M.I.A. has been unfriended by Madonna to the outer stratospheres for deciding to freelance.

As for the performance itself, the sound was horrible for the first third and Madonna seemed stiff and not her usual confidenct self for a lot of the performance. And then, too, the game itself, featuring the Patriots versus the Giants was very exciting and close at halftime so even at its best the performance couldn’t compete and felt like a bit of an annoying disruption.

Previewed earlier this week, enjoy M.I.A.’s latest “Bad Girls,” with some serious Saudi swag!
