Keep I believe was the only all-female brand at Compass, and it repped with its usual adorable/smart array of shoes. My faves were the gingham wedges. There’s something cute and funny about them; a dressed-up pair of chanqletas for days when you want to impress the nighborhood.

^^Gingham Chanqs

Next up are The Foundation brand rep Cassandra Madsen’s faves:

^^A classic and innocent profile with a heart of darkness. Love the dichotomy.

More Keep on the other side (including the cutest pair of kid’s hightops you have ever seen!)

When I heard the news of Justin Timberlake being the new face of Givenchy’s new fragrance"Play" I was curious to see how they would  feature him..I was expecting something alot sexier…To shed the boy band look you have to push the envelope just a tad….granted even if the scent had to do with music I can think of someone who is making a killing when it come to crooner-style  R&B and whose a little more grown… and a former model who can do no wrong in my book…their  pictures after the jump…

let me know what you think?

Spring 2009 will be a good season, I’ll bet, for women’s footwear. A lot of new ideas sprung up during 2008 and it’s looking like a lot of them will be expanded on and combined for next spring. Here’s a spring 2009 J.Shoe style that combines gladiator looks on a platform with Native American detail influences.

^^This one was my fave. Click to the right to see Courtney’s (who was repping the line) fave….

I made it out to Vegas! First thing I did was to visit the Compass show, a long overdue, hip, alternative to the WSA shoe show. It was mostly men’s shoes, but there was some great stuff there for women, too. First up, Creative Rec, which has been killing it with its women’s product:

^^As you can see, hightops are preparting to go higher AND glossier. These are just stunning.

I’m in JFK, trying to catch a flight (I’m on standby) to Las Vegas and I have enough time to throw up these images of M.I.A. They’re from a Flickr account and they were taken in June, but that’s about all I can provide info-wise right now.

One more image backstage…
