Reebok Classic and Melody Ehsani Collaboration

MelodyVentilator
Melody_Blacktop
LA based designer Melody Eshani and Reebok Classic are back at it again with another collaboration, this time featuring the iconic Blacktop Pump and Ventilator sneaker.

 

Each sneaker features the luxe python leather featured on the first Reebok Classic x Melody Ehsani collaboration – a unique texture that takes inspiration from a creature which embodies Melody’s definition of a Classic woman. The shoes also feature the designer’s signature take on the Evil Eye, which brings a sense of individuality and creativity to the look. The clean gum outsole adds a fresh finish to the shoe’s rich tones.

 

The Blacktop Pump is updated with a hidden interior heel wedge for a feminine, streamlined silhouette, while the Ventilator says true to its retro runner design.

Christian Louboutin: The Nudes Collection Spring 2015

Luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin’s celebrating women of color around the world with the Nudes Collection.  According to the social media post, this particular collection’s suppose to “change the way you think about baring it all.”

Personally, I’m happy to see the new collection because I adore a nude (or flesh tone) pump.  They make the legs appear longer and can match anything in your wardrobe.  It’s also stated that nude pumps are the perfect work wardrobe staple accessory.

If you’re a Realhousewives of Atlanta fan, we first witnessed this idea when NeNe Leakes purchased numerous pairs for all of her bridesmaids.  This was a message that we should own a pair of Nude Louboutins to compliment our attire (or any occassion.)

The Christian Louboutin Nudes Collection can also be worn year round ladies; this is considered to be an investment in a quality pair of pumps.  To purchase a pair visit Bergdorf Goodman

Carrie Dunham – One Handbag for Every Occasion

Carrie Dunham‘s stylish and functional line of handbags makes it effortless for today’s woman to be on-trend, remain versatile, while always giving a nod to classic style.

The Dunham Collection offers sophisticated, modernized versions of the Bermuda bag. The upgrades are plentiful all while maintaining that vintage Bermuda vibe. The differences lie in the Dunham Collection’s revolutionized design and broad use of materials for covers. The original Bermuda bag came with a limiting wood handle and a small white muslin base that required a cover, of which there were few cover options. – In contrast, both the Dunham clutch and Carrie clutch are stunning enough without having to use a cover, yet give the option of using a cover, therefore maximizing their versatility.

– The Dunham clutch comes with a leather handle and a base constructed from either soft suede or genuine Italian leather (choose from gold, brown, black or white).

– The Carrie clutch has no handle, but rather a stylish, -adjustable/removable chain. The Carrie base comes in leather and is firmer in structure for a sleek, sophisticated look. Both retail for $265.00.

– Choose one (or several) of the myriad of chic covers offered by the Dunham Collection that fit both the Dunham and Carrie clutches for a completely different look. The options are limitless: crisp linen, sexy snakeskin, modern sequined, metallic cork, burlap, suede, classic stripes or a monogrammed cover updated with crabs, anchors and more playful designs. There is a cover for every occasion no matter how casual or formal. In addition, there is no need to fumble with clunky buttons to fit your cover like with the Bermuda bag, simply put the cover over the Dunham bag and press the holes (in the cover) onto the studs for a brand new look. Since your base bag remains and you only change the cover, there is no more fussing with transferring the contents of your purse to another. Furthermore, Carrie Dunham has made it possible to travel with ONE handbag and multiple covers so every look is polished. Clutch covers range from $58.00-$84.00.
