There’s a story in the Style section of the Times laying out the premise that it is now okay and even cool to walk around with a busted manicure. And there is some truth to that. But it’s not just about nail polish. In general, busy young females no longer feel like beholden to ANY beauty or fashion regime. Chipped nails are not so much hip as they are a reflection of the crumbling of insane female beauty standards. Which is a good thing. Women shouldn’t feel like they can’t leave the house just ’cause everything isn’t perfectly on point.

All that being said, I can’t get with that days-on-end, chipped nails look. It drives me NUTS! And there’s nothing that brings me greater inner-happiness than gazing upon my own, brand new, fresh and clean manicure.

For whatever reason, our fearless leader, David, was fishing around The Finish Line today and came up with a couple of snappy items. Earlier in the day he sent me the purple, hi Nike All Courts, and not long after that he sent the link to these super cute pink Nike Dunks.

^^For those days when you wanna flaunt your inner girly-girl!

Lois: One more post then it’s time to get my nails done!

This earrings were sent to me courtesy of newbie to the high-end jewelry world Theodore Mander, who is the designer behind Navaeh Jewelry. Theo’s a young buck, but he’s already managed to get his goods placed on some quasi-famous rap artists. Love that hustle spirit and his designs are tight, too!  

Here’s a pair of earrings that were custom-made for rapper Aztec 730, aka Tec Diamonds (which, I don’t know about you, but I have NO idea who that is!):

^^These custom earrings feature white gold, pink sapphires, amethyst and black diamonds, which supposedly come from outer space!

tee, gee, eye, EFF!!

Operations NYC ,for Fall 08 continues to feature sharp tailoring and  vintage army/workwear inspired styles for men and women, as I always said true design or innovation sometimes lies in the little things, like the blue lining inside this Collar…It’s like wearing a piece of History with a modern twist…Check out more of my fave looks after the jump  HighSnobette@hotmail.com.

It’s not a big part of my everyday descriptive vocabularly anymore, but dammit if looking at this shoe doesn’t make me think of the word fresh, not to mention summer time, block parties and basketball!

^^As cute as this shoe is, it’s hard to believe that The Finish Line has it on sale for just $69.99. Sometimes the masses just don’t understand.

Here’s Madonna making her second, red carpet apperance at Cannes, this time in a red dress. It’s not nearly as haute as the Chanel dress, but she looks a thousand times better ’cause this one suits her frame better. She even seeme to feel more confident.

^^The shoes are kick ass, too!

Straight up, the dress, which is Chanel, is amazing. You see a garment like this and it’s one of those moments when you are made to understand the difference between ready to wear and coutoure. My issue with Madge in this dress, however, is that she’s so tiny that it doesn’t look as good on her. And she has a tendency to do that–wear outfits that fit her personality rather than her frame. But oh well, she’s Mo. Her critics over the past quarter of a century have come and gone and she remains standing. A bad-ass female if ever there was one!

My other issue is that I’m not crazy about this kind of stark, black, white color contrast. To my eye, it breaks up the dress’s lines too much.

More images (which are all from Wire.com) of the dress, Mo’s accessories and her shoes after the flip.
