I HEART: JEFFREY CAMPBELL LITA

When I first clicked on these shoes a few months ago at solestruck.com, I thought they were a bit...hideous. But like the saying goes, the more you see something the more you like it -- that is exactly what happened here. The shoes are also pretty popular which means yes, they sell out quite freqently and get re-stocked but also another yes that makes me want them even more is seeing how blogggers and lookbookers style them with skinny jeans and flirty dresses; driving me to want to try it out soon. That is soon and very soon before they are sold out...again.

VOGUE ITALIA: "THE BLACK ALLURE" FASHION SPREAD

It'll be great when this is the norm.

AMBER RILEY: ESSENCE SPREAD

Amber Riley from "Glee" is looking beautiful and confident in her Essence magazine spread! I love the outfits in the two photos: they fit her body well, accentuate her curves and most of all, her clothes aren't ill-fitting just because she isn't a size 4.
I started watching Glee over the summer when Season 1 re-runs were playing, became hooked and every Tuesday night watched Season 2. Like Amber's photos, her character, Mercedes, also has a healthy self-image, which I love. The episode that sticks out the most: Sue, acting as principal, banned tater tots and Mercedes went into war mode, snuck her own tots in the school and started a lunchroom riot. That's right girl, get those tots.

Looking forward to the new "Glee" episode after the Super Bowl!

LADY GAGA "VOGUE" MARCH 2011 COVER

To be honest, I read many magazines but sadly, Vogue is not one of them. The last Vogue magazine I purchased was the 2010 fall fashion issue with Halle Berry on the cover and before that, Beyonce on the cover of the April 2009 "Shape Issue" (winces).

Although I am enchanted by the power (of Anna Wintour) and back story of American Vogue, I just can't seem to relate to its articles nor its spreads. I plan on purchasing this issue because yes, Lady Gaga is on the cover and I want to see how they "Vogue" her. After picking up this issue maybe, (just maybe) I'll give Vogue another try.

I MISSED IT!: WHITNEY PORT SIGNED HER NEW BOOK AT B&N

Whitney Port, who is my favorite Hills star because of her take on life and clothing, just released her new book, True Whit, satisfying The Hills and The City stans with something else to read besides  L.C.'s books based on The Hills and how to have personal style. She signed copies of her book at Barnes and Noble last night wearing an interesting orange and nude outfit. See below:

Not one of my favorites, nor am I liking the nude tights, but she usually dresses cute and the cover of her book is cute, so she gets a pass.
