Kick A$$ Kicks: Sergio Rossi Pumas!





With Maddie B. & Kitty C.
SERGIO ROSSI Is a well known shoe designer best known for his pumps & evening sandals.

Maddie recently came across his puma collection and she really like it. “Patent leather! Who would have guessed?!"

Kitty is not as convinced! But at minimum, it's an interesting oxymoron...high heeled athletic shoes! "Perfect for those moments when you have to sprint from the parking lot to your office so you won't be late!"

Whether you would rock 'em or not, you have to admit...they are trend setting!






Love the skin you're in!



By Cairo Love
The first thing someone notices about you is your outer exterior otherwise known as your appearance. Your skin is the canvas of your body and who wants a messy canvas? Not you i hope. Cairo love has three simple steps of skin care routine to ensure you always shine through and through.

Step one: cleanse

Makeup and dirt clings to the surface of your face so it is important to wash away these impurities. Always use lukewarm water and work up a rich lather and use circular motions to cleanse your face. Don’t forget to do the same thing to your neck, .a lot of dirt from your face resurfaces on your neck as well!! Rinse with lukewarm water and follow up with cool water.

Step 2: tone
You can use rosewater (combination skin), azulene (for dry skin) or lactic acid toner (for oily skin) to tone your face. Toner’s restore the ph balance to your skin and close up the pores in your face. Witch Hazel is another natural toner that works wonders! Essentially it perks up your skin. A happy face is a happy you!

Step 3: moisturize
This step is essential to maintain a youthful skin appearance. Moisturize face and neck. If you apply moisture immediately after you have taken a bath or shower, the steam from the hot water will help in absorbing the moisture and softening of your skin.

An important aspect for overall skin care is to exercise! Without a healthy blood supply that is provided when you are active, your skin cannot be healthy (texture and quality).

Cairo Love moment: give your face a steam procedure! Run hot water in the sink or heat water in a pot on your stove, when the steam is at a comfortable level, place a towel over your head as u lean in the sink or over the pot to allow steam to enter your pores. You will begin to perspire, which will release impurities from your skin. Do this once a week. Leave your comments!

CHANEL N˚5



CHANEL PREMIERES A NEW 2.5 OZ SIZE FOR

N˚5 EAU PREMIÈRE

Shoe Junkie: Christian Louboutin

Talk about FIERCE! Ohhhwee, this kitten definitely has claws! MEOW!

These shoes need to get outta my dreams and into my closet!! Talk about orgasmic, the sight of the leopard print ankle boots that Ciara had on and especially the fringe booties Rihanna was rockin' got me closer to an orgasm than any of my ex-boyfriends ever did!



For a self-proclaimed shoe junkie, with well over 200 shoes stock-piled in my spare bedroom like a Montana militia's weapons cache, seeing his designs makes me want to trade them ALL in for one pair of Louboutins (well ok, maybe not, but I'd trade at least 50)!!

Here's some information you may have never know about Christian Louboutin, my new hero!



Christian Louboutin (born 1964) is a footwear designer who launched his line of high-end women's shoes in France in 1991. Since 1992, his designs have incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature. On March 27, 2007, Christian Louboutin filed an application for U.S. trademark protection of this red sole design.

Christian Louboutin helped bring stilettos back into fashion in the 1990s and 2000s, designing dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72 inches) and higher. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.”

In his U.S. trademark application, Louboutin explains the inception of the signature red soles:

"In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture."

Louboutin also received inspiration for his infamous, lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early twenties. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign that forbade women to enter while wearing sharp stilettos, for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. "I wanted to defy that," Louboutin has said. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered."
