Jeffrey Campbell is Next!

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, ten year old brand Jeffrey Campbell remains today "a small family owned fashion forward footwear label, that roots itself in creating fast paced footwear for the woman on the go." Inspired by the everyday woman, the girl on the street, the lady on the subway, the brand is slowly becoming the go to brand for the risk-taking fashionista. With such celeb clients as Solange Knowles, Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, the shoe is beginning to trickle down from the classes to the masses. Even Steve Madden is starting to make knock-offs, so you know that means they're on the verge. But why buy Steve Madden when you can get the original and not at Louboutin prices? Jeffrey Campbell shoes range from th 80s to the 300s and are sure to turn heads.

Until We Get Back to Atlanta: The Best of NeNe Leakes

Last night was the premiere of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and it was dramatic to say the least. The show centered around the recent suicide of costar Taylor Armstrong's estranged husband. And can I just say... I really think their needs to be a look into the suicidal reality star trend going on but we'll save that for another post. This post however is all about fun! As I said before last night was the premiere of RHo: Beverly Hills and RHo: New Jersey is mid-season and next up to bat is RHo: Atlanta in the fall. But being the giving person I am, to hold you Ladies & Ghetto-men over, I give you...
The Best of Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes!

October Mag Covers

Maybe it's just me but I always thought it was kind of weird that magazines print their publications a month in advance. Although it's only the beginning of September, next month's magazines have already rolled out.
Top to bottom, Right to left:
  • First up is Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, and Alicia Keys sharing the cover of GLAMOUR. The beauty trinity may seem like an odd combination but the trio in addition to Patty Jenkins have signed on to direct the Lifetime original movie Project Five, an anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives. The premiere date for Project Five is still TBA
  • Then there's Adele on VOGUE! Yeah the cover is nothing short of amazing but why do magazine editors always play the plus-sized girls and use close-up shots? (I.E. Jennifer Hudson’s cover)
  • Next is Angelina Jolie on VANITY FAIR. She's a pretty woman but I never thought she was this drop-dead beuty like she's always hyped up to be. Maybe it's just me though.
  • Lady Gaga goes all clean and fresh faced on the cover of HARPER'S BAZAAR. Ehhh
  • The First Lady, no not Eve, Michelle Obama covers this month's ESSENCE. Presidential Beauty.
  • And last but not least Taylor Lautner covers this month's SEVENTEEN, to promote his upcoming action flick Abduction. Peep the trailer below!

"Gwyneth Paltrow Saved My Life on 9/11" -Lara Lindstrom Clarke

This story truly struck a nerve. You never know how one tiny thing can impact your life in a HUGE way.
On September 11th, 2001 while rushing to her job at the World Trade Center 24-year-old Lara Lindstrom Clarke went to cross the street but quickly stopped because an SUV was coming her way. The driver of the SUV stopped to let Lara cross but hesitant Lara waved to let the SUV go.

The driver of the SUV was none other than Oscar award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow coming from an early morning yoga class. The two did a kind of "you-go, no-you-go" back and forth thing until Clarke eventually crossed and Paltrow drove on. As a result Lara made it to her train just in time to see it pulling off and had to wait an hour for the next one. When Clarke got off the next train she walked up to the World Trade Center at 8:47am the moment the first plane hit. Had it not been for her chance encounter with Paltrow, Lara would have made her train and been sitting at her desk on the 77th floor of the south tower at 8:47am instead she was outside thanking god... and Gwyneth Paltrow.
