Haute Find: Noir Jewelry
Flipping through the latest issue of Harper’s Bazar, I came across the last ring pictured above. HAUTE! Huh? Come to find out, it was from Noir Jewelry. After visiting the site I realized that some of the jewelry is offered on Anthropologie.com, and I have been eying it for about a year now. The items are all quite amazingly rocker chic. You may have seem some of them on my celebrity style twins Amber Rose, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys. Chanel Iman has also been spotted wearing a Noir piece. All of the jewelry is moderately priced, just within my budget’s reach.
Gone GaGa
It’s been a long time coming, but I have to admit that I am completely WOWed by Lady Gaga. I’ve been eyeing her style for a while now. Her appearance on last night’s episode of Gossip Girl, in which she performed “Bad Romance” rocking a 30-foot long red dress, was mesmerizing. The Bitch is BAD!
Her repertoire has likened to those of Grace Jones (have you seen this performce in Vamp?) and Rupaul. Rihanna might be her biggest competition. Beyonce is totally feeling the pressure. Did anyone else notice her sudden allegiance to the avant garde movement? Hang in there Bey. Ciara should just throw in the towel leotard.
Cocktails
These pictures are old (I had natural hair and I think I had just descovered blush), but I thought of them when I saw this picture of Rihanna wearing a fur stole. Everyone who knows me knows that I die for my fur stole.
We have soooo many memories, me and that scarf. I pull it out every fall and wear it everyday til spring.
One of my friends calls it my “cocktail” (because it multi-colored. maybe I can get some better pictures this year).
Another friend almost saw me have a heart attack one time after I left it behind in the movie theatre. He went back to go get it for me while I waited in the car. When came back saying it wasn’t there, and I about died. He was joking.
It smells like me. So, every time someone picks it up, they’re always like: “mmm. this smells so good.”
You’ll never guess where I got it. Lane Bryant. About 5 years ago for $30.
It’s starting to bald in places, and so I started looking for a replacement several years ago.
I don’t think I will ever be able to part with it.
Unless I find a more fabulous replacement. HELP!
Does Rihanna Read My Blog?
Probably not. Although, Kanye reads Sea of Shoes. So, it’s not totally out of the question.
However, someone must have passed along my friend’s advice that the only way she and Chris could ever appear together in public would be to go on the Oprah Winfrey Show because bloggers are now saying that Rihanna won’t forgive Chris until he publicly apologizes on Oprah…because the public won’t forgive Chris either until the Queen of Daytime Television approves!
Rihanna and Chris Brown to Appear on Oprah?
Newsflash: for those of you who don’t know, Chrihanna is on again. In an interesting, 3 hour long conversation I had with a colleague over the weekend, our discussion inevitably came to a discussion on the topic. So I was asking how could the couple really show their faces in public together ever again. And her reply, which I think is dead on, was “only if they go on Oprah.”
Oprah, however, had this to say to the couple Friday on ”Oprah Fridays (Live)”:
Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I was your friend, I would call you up and I would say, ‘Give it some time, get yourself some counseling, take care of yourself’…And also, love doesn’t hurt. I’ve been saying this to women for years: ‘If a man hits you once, he will hit you again…’
Oprah also plans to dedicate an upcoming episode of her show to the topic of domestic violence. Chances are Chrihanna won’t be on the couch.
