The Oooh Weee: This Famous Nobody Shoe Snob Tee Has me Feenin’

 

High Soleciety

Have I told you lately that I love shoes? Well, not only do I love them, but I’ve got pretty discerning taste in them, too. Granted, it’s not always about the price or the brand (though there are certain brands I REFUSE to wear, no matter how cute the shoes are). Usually, it’s a shoe’s ability to stand out from the masses. The shoes I love most aren’t only eye catching… they’re the ones few would dare to wear. I’ve been told it makes me a shoe snob of sorts. As such, wearing this “Shoe Snob” tee by Famous Nobody will keep me from having to explain the stank face I give certain shoes. Apparently Rihanna’s in love with this tee, too… and rightfully so (mama’s shoe game is on a hunnid, thousand, trillion). Want an idea of the shoes that tickle my fancy?

Shop to Save (Because Saving $$$ is Good but Saving Lives is Best)

Earth to Everybody


What did you do to help save the planet today? I know you couldn't possibly have forgotten that it was Earth day. (It's a darn shame that we need a day on our calendars to remind us to take care of our home). This post is so late because I was out picking up litter and um planting trees (OK... you're right... StyleScrybe doesn't like dirty hands). Still, I do always recycle, walk whenever possible and buy green here and there. Plus, I'm definitely copping this "Do Something" fitted tee from the Rainforest Site. The dopest (yeah I just said dopest lol) thing about it is that if you look closely, it actually suggests some Earth-saving activities. For every one of these tees sold, 1145 square feet of rain forest will be preserved. As an added eco-bonus, for a limited (yet unspecified) time, the Rain Forest Site folks are celebrating Earth Day by planting a tree for every order completed at the Rainforest Site Shop. So, if you didn't hug a tree today or find some other way to give Mother Earth some much-needed TLC, maybe you should "Do Something" by ordering your own eco-chic tee. They also have plenty of other cute clothes, accessories and jewelry over there, so look around.

The Ooooooo-Weee! (More intense than a normal fashion fix, here's what has me feenin')

You Gets No Love

Sigh... Your girl was a little sad today. She didn't have a Valentine. (I know, I know... Girl Power! Love Thy Self, and all that. We single gals appreciate the pep talks about self love. After a while, though, it all sounds like blah blah blah.) I definitely love me, but it'd be nice to know someone of the opposite sex shares the sentiment. Anyway, date or not (usually not), I try to get myself a V-day gift every year, but this year I couldn't think of anything that wasn't mushy or cliche. I've already bought myself diamonds and perfume and chocolate and wine. A T-shirt that expresses exactly what I feel on the sappiest of days? Haven't done that yet, but I'm gonna have to grab one from loveislame.com. As my favorite celeb publicist (and cousin) said in her Sistah-girl email today, "Cupid can kick rocks!" Ok, Ok, I'm not that bitter, but I still think this tee is pretty cool, and I look forward to what people will say when I wear it.

Five, Six, Pick Up... (Time to Barack & Poll!)

Yep, in the Right Tee!

StyleScrybe is scratching her head... Howcome the political group they call "the right" seems to get it all so wrong? Don't answer that... I just wanted to make you go "hmmm." Anyway, in honor of Super Tuesday, StyleScrybe has decided to give you a little guidance as you head to the polls. I can't tell you which Democratic candidate to vote for, but I am absolutely compelled to make a wardrobe suggestion or two (wink, wink). Here are five tees I found that express the "right" mind state for election '08. You won't get them before you cast your vote if you order online, but I'm sure they'll be appropriate until November. I was right about the Superbowl (Go Big Blue!), so you can quote me on the elections too...

This time, the shirts aren't divided into categories (because Barack Obama's all about unity).

Oooooh... Light bulb moment... Somebody should make a tee that says "B.O. knows politics"

Peace it Up

Some things never go out of style, and contrary to what Pres. Bush and all the other thugs of the world might say, peace is one of them... so is charity. Oh, and let's not forget self-sustainability. OmniPeace has joined forces with Millenium Promise in an endeavor to end extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa by the year 2025, and you can help the cause if you buy one of their tres chic tees, tanks or accessories. Either go to the OmniPeace site and score or cop one of the celeb favorites at Kitson. They even have chocolate bars!

On the Low, Though, Shhh...

Last week, when my fam was here from "Tha A", they wanted to do the tourist thing in NY. Then a friend of mine came up from B-More to shop. I'm game for wearing heels to do almost anything, but with all the cracks and vents, New York streets are too treacherous for long treks in good shoes. As I got dressed, I realized the need for a fly pair of flat boots. I'm not into looking like a cookie-cutter teeny bopper (though I'm barely a day over 20, wink wink), so the 80's-inspired pointy-toed, slouchy boots don't do it for me. A pair of equestrian boots, though, is the perfect wardrobe addition for this clotheshorse. Unfortunately, riding boots (at least the cute ones) can cost a pretty penny. I gotta shout out Tia at Shake Your Beauty for her post on a party dress from Delia's, which, of course led me to a search of the site's shoe department. Gasp! These boots are only $67! Don't spill the beans, though or everybody'll be beat-biting, and we can't have that. So these will be our little secret... pinky swear?

Gangsta Heezeelz!!!

If you're a true music fan, you'll rock a t-shirt featuring your favorite act, right? Well, why should it be any different with fashion, or more specifically, footwear? This "Dressed to Kill" raglan from Hellz Bellz is the edgiest shoe shout out I've ever seen, and I'm lovin' it. I see it with gray or black skinny jeans and converses or ankle boots. I might even be funny and wear a denim mini and ballet flats with opaque tights. I like to keep folks on their toes like that. For only 48 smackeroos, you can get one of your own at Cultlist. Be forewarned, any chick who dares wear this tee better have enough attitude to carry it off. Not for the faint of heart (or foot), it screams "sex, murder and mayhem" (Hov is so quotable!). When you wear your heart on your heels, though, there's bound to be a little bloodshed, right?.

That New New for You You (Pat Field for Barbie)

Barbie Never Plays Out

When i was a wee stylista, my playmate/exemplar epitomized glamor, success and almost everything a girl could want. She was plastic, though, and her world was all for fake fake. (Dunno why we used to say it that way). The dollie days have ended, but thanks to Mattel's strategic partnerships, real-life fashion figures can still channel the eternally chic icon. First, there was the limited edition makeup colabo with M.A.C, and now there's the new fashion line from Patricia Field. (You know, the mind behind Sex and the City style.) Launched November 13 at Field's Manhattan boutique, "Barbie by Patricia Field", a collection of audacious apparel and accessories is comprised of two separate lines, "Barbie Luxe by Patricia Field" (Sold exclusively at Macy's East stores) and "Junior's Barbie Wear by Patricia Field" (sold at Hot Topic). Both lines,however are available at House of Field. So far my favorites are the "I Want My Dream House tee" and the vintage-inspired belted black satin dress.
