We love us some sparkle!
Iconic shoe label Keds has paired up with Alice + Olivia for a limited edition line of sneaks.
The sequin adorned shoes, which are expected to launch this spring will be available in black, silver, pale pink and safari green for $88 at select retailers and Neiman Marcus stores as well as Alice + Olivia boutiques.
Stacey Bendet, founder of A+O said of the collab "I don’t think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid. I can’t even count how many pairs I had. We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion."
Sounds like a perfect fit to us!
And we can expect more designer pairings with Keds in the future.
The shoewear president Kristen Kohler Burrows revealed they're joining forces with other designers who " can bring their own unique vision and creativity to the iconic Champion silhouette."
Wonder who will be next???
Kate Moss is losing value and FAST.
At 36 years old, the ancient supermodel just isn't making the same amount of money as she use to. Last year, Cokate pocketed just over £1 million (or $1.5 million), where two years ago she was making £5 million.
A financial expert dishes "A turnover of £1million is healthy for most companies, but knowing Moss’s earning power in the past it seems quite small. It could be that the tide has turned."
It turned a long time ago, she just doesn't want to admit it! And neither do her friends, because they're insisting the new figures are painting an incomplete picture.
They say Kate has enjoyed a great success with her collabs from Topshop, perfume house Coty and most recently Longchamp, which could explain the previous report of her making $7.5 million in 2009.
Maybe these figures reflect what the model earned on her own account, rather than her partnerships.
Whatever it is, take a hint and retire Cokate!

Not only can Sandra Bullock sell movie tickets, she can also sell dresses!
The Wall Street Journal reports that of all the Oscar nominated actresses this year Sandy is the one who is most likely to generate sales for the label who dresses her.
Case in point is the Vivienne Westwood dress she wore to the People's Choice Awards. According to StyleSpot.com, which tracks a celeb's ability to make things fly off the racks, that dress recieved the most click-throughs to retail sites of all red-carpet appearances this year.
To be fair, there's only been a handful of major awards shows for 2010 which means later in the year Sandra could easily be dominated by someone else.
Vogue's Hamish Bowles believes other red carpet ladies like Meryl Streep and Gabourey Sidibe could top the list after the Oscars. Hamish explains that the Precious star is "an alternate paradigm for the red carpet, but she can carry these very strong colors" and is appealing for the plus-size market.
Inneresting.
Which actress' dress would U buy???

Diddy loves the environment, ya'll! So much so that he used recycled materials to create his newest Sean John pop-up shop in Miami.
Some of the places where the recycled good were used were in-store fixtures, which were made from shipping material and packaing. Also, an installation of eco-friendly furniture will also be on display in the store.
President of Sean John Dawn Robertson said of the new project "This concept is new for us at Sean John, but it is the first of many sustainable, green pop-up stores we will be building."
Good for them!
Maybe other brands opening pop-up shops will follow in Diddy's non-carbon footsteps.
