Rihanna performed in Italy this past week and the photogs snapped some shots of her out and about, hitting the stores with her crew. This is no casual day out shopping. Yes, the dress is cute and summery, but check out her perfectly coiffed hair, the tons of accessories (LOVE the necklace), the bangin’ bag, but most of all the wicked shoes, which, okay, they look great, but are clearly designed for flossin’ as opposed to any serious fashion hunting and gathering mission.

^^Why is it that the regular folk who hang with celebs always look snarlier than the talent? Relax, hun, it aint YOU they’re trying to snap.

More images from the same photo op at UltimateRihanna

A couple of closer shots after the flip…

This Muxo by Camila Alves tote does not by any means scream DESIGNER, but so trust and believe that when you walk in a room with this on your shoulder, heads will be turning.

^^Available at ShopBop along with several other bags by Muxo

Shot of detail after the flip…

As it often happens when high-profile couples like Mashonda and Swizz split up, at least one (and usually it’s the one who all along has been resenting his/her backseat role) starts showing up at LOTS of events. Is it an attempt to up the profile and get back in the game or a way to put it in the face of the ex that’s been left?? Who knows, but whichever it was, Shonda sure was looking cute at recent Kimora-host event she attended:

^^Mashonda looks perfectly summery in an adorable, silk jumper, but it was her shoes, which you can see after the flip, that put the exclamation point on this outfit.

UPDATE: We’re told that Mashonda’s jumpsuit is DVF. No surprise there cuz we love Diane forever & ALWAYS.

I sort of still am. I have this blue nylon one, but it’s starting to fall apart. The thing is, I don’t want to do straw. I’m tough on my things and I know it wouldn’t stand up. I stumbled upon these bamboo bags being sold at EcoConsciousMarket and figured they might be a nice option. They’re not only cool and futuristic-y looking, but also environmentally friendly(whatever that means!)

^^Bamboo Handbag, priced 46 bucks

Two more for your viewing pleasure on the flipside….

At a recent Essence magazine event, RihRih had a camera basically shoved up her nose while she performed. And maybe it’s an amazing makeup job, but I doubt it. The girl’s skin is pretty much flawless.

^^RihRih’s favorite look: Punk via 80s Madonna (Chris Brown also performed, but sorry folks, I didn’t see any matching accessories between the two of them.)

After the flip, there’s another close-up plus a new, Beyonce-inspired dance move.

If you have a thing for White shoes like Lois  or you happen to be getting married soon…Sergio Rossi just put together a custom line of bridal footwear.

Bridal shoes always lack a little oomph for me but this line with adjustable heel heights and the option to have you and your hubby’s name embroidered  inside..
