I AM ... Amazed!!!
Now I can't speak for the masses, but I am ... anti-House of Dereon, until now. What a major step up from the previous designs, kudos Mama Tina! Or, does the credit go to Beyonce aka Sasha Fierce because these Dereon Snakeskin Booties are M-E-A-N. Retail priced at $105 these 4.5" pumps are quite qualified for tippin' out for the season.

Presenting ... Sokhna N'Dour
Sokhna N’Dour
Age: 16
Hometown: Dakar, Senegal
Bloodline: Father is Senegalese pop singer Youssou N’Dour (who was described by Rolling Stone in 2004 as “perhaps the most famous singer alive” in Africa).
Education: Dakar French High School, where she’s studying economics.
Wearing: Franck Sorbier
Escort: Papou Ndiaye, friend of her older brother, Biran.
Role model: N’Dour flew to Sorbier’s Paris showroom with her father and brother in tow to select her dress. While there, she realized that her aunt had been a model for the designer years earlier.
As reported by WWD.com: Call it the Super Bowl of debutante balls. The Bal Crillon des Debutantes — held annually at Paris’ stately Hôtel de Crillon — brings together the daughters of heavy hitters from the worlds of politics, entertainment, art and fashion.
If you're a fan of MTV's The Hills, this is the same ball that Whitney and Lauren assisted in Paris. With careful research, I've found that every other year (or two) there's a brown baby selected and this particular year it's Sokhna N’Dour, daughter of famous pop singer Youssou N'Dour (click link to listen to his music).
Each year a number of lucky heiress' are handpicked to be presented unto the world as women ... very well-off young women, lol. Decked out in couture by Valentino, J. Mendel, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Franck Sorbier, to name a few. Did I forget to mention, the 'Royal Family' perks they recieve?

Just In: Matthew Williamson Designs for H&M
MATTHEW WILLIAMSON BRINGS SUN TO H&M THIS SUMMER H&M is proud to announce that the next guest designer will be Matthew Williamson, the British designer whose colour-drenched collections always carry the promise of the sun. Starting with an exclusive women’s fashion range at selected stores April 23, then continuing with the perfect men’s and women’s pieces for Summer available from mid-May in all H&M stores world wide. In an exclusive for H&M, Williamson will debut his first ever menswear pieces.
“It is an incredible opportunity to be working with H&M, creating a ‘Matthew Williamson for H&M’ capsule collection. I love the fact that H&M have created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to and hopefully enjoyed by so many people around the world,“ says Matthew Williamson.
“Matthew has such a good eye and a way for working with prints that he mixes up in a new way. When he combines these things, you get a very contemporary London look. It’s for people who want to look special, but his clothes can also be worn in a nonchalant way- you can really play around with them. He is fantastic with piling on colour - it’s a very stylish collaboration for H&M, and very much in line with the way we’re thinking about fashion for spring/summer,” says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative advisor at H&M.
ABOUT MATTHEW WILLIAMSON
Matthew Williamson burst onto the London fashion scene in 1997, with a colour-drenched collection modelled by Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Jade Jagger. Since then, Williamson has brought the party lifestyle of the global traveller to the catwalk, an Ibizan spirit of colour and freedom that he now shows at New York Fashion Week. His clothes are worn regularly by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow, and last year he was honoured with an exhibition at the Design Museum in London - “Matthew Williamson - 10 Years in Fashion”.

C.O.C.A Style Designers: GLAMHUER Clothing
I'm sure you remember Ashley S. Drapes, the eclectic jewelry designer I posted about months ago, right?If not, well get re-acquainted. Ashley is one-half of the 80's Glam-inspired clothing line, GLAMHUER. The duo designers/bosom buddies, Ashley & Brooke Reid aka B. Glynn are giving the Windy City a raw/uncut glimpse of what it means to take charge of your dreams.
After meeting the girls a mere two years ago - one look at their "free spirit" attitudes and next, Glamhuer, all I could think of was the song, Sex Shooter; Appollonia 6; Vanity; and The Sex Kittens of the 1980s era ... I was intrigued! Glamhuer defines the sensual curves of a woman and hones in on a time when women wore clothes in a tasteful manner, yet exuded sexy and playfulness in form-fitting dresses, corsets, belted waists, colorful patterns, lace, ruffles and flirty pantyhose ... Read more about Glamhuer below.
That’s when Glamhuer™ was born. We wanted exposure for our line so we approached a close friend for an opportunity to throw our own fashion show to launch Glamhuer™. We gave him the plan and he gave us just two weeks to pull it all together. We accepted and quickly got to work. With limited help, we pulled it off, out of all the craziness Urban Ja’dore was a success!
Need a dress designed for the holidays or your B-Day? Have some ideas of how the Glamhuer Girlz can consult with you? Check them out on MYSPACE.

South Loop gymshoe salon SuccezZ lures in celebrity athletes and steps up the areas gymshoe game.
by Terrence Chappell
Located at 1329 South Michigan Avenue, SuccezZ brings a classic, urban edge to the South Loop's developing fashion, retail scene.
Owned by local entrepreneur, LaVelle (V-Dot) Sykes and New Jersey Net's basketball player Bobby Simmons, SuccezZ toasted the town with a red-carpet, WGCI sponsored grand opening on June 21 that hosted some of the city's fashion and nightlife elite.
SuccezZ exposes customers to a welcoming formula of high-end, quality clothes, a laid-back decor and great customer service. The store resembles the decked-out basement of a young celebrity's mansion showing off their cool and hip underground spot on the show Cribs of MTV. With high, industrial ceilings and hard-wood floors, SuccezZ has a chill elegance that doesn't try too hard. Expect a well-stocked, premium denim bar with all the usual suspect brands of True Religion, Laguna Beach, Robins and the L.A. line Taverniti jeans. Be prepared to pay anywhere from $90 to $450 for a pair of jeans. If jeans don't fulfill the fix, then check out the store's wide selection of T-shirts and rocking footwear.
