Knocked Off with Skechers

Earlier today while I was watching the girls chat it up on The View, I came across a BOBS commercial. I guess this is old news but I never knew Skechers (which according to their commercial is the second largest footwear company iN THE WORLD!!! WOW SKECHERS WOW) was still a relevant brand today. But I should have known as they have stores opened in local malls, City Walk, and also carry a shoe display at Costco. I definitely should have known. The success of the Shape Ups have led them into their next moneymaker ($$$$) a knock off of the TOMS alpargata design. Skechers was so sweet and decided they wanted to help out the kids living in poverty too! They even decided they wanted to use the same method in which to help (every product sold, a person in need is helped). So Sweet. They even decided they wanted to use a similar design!!! AWWW and even come up with a short and simple name. BOBS. enough getting upset, I guess it was a nice gesture.


Inside Rebecca Minkoff's Los Feliz Shop

before I make this a Kate Middleton blog, something great happened this weekend! As a new fan to Rebecca Minkoff and a loyal girl to her MAC clutch, I am happy to hear she has her own store now in Los Feliz. As many designers are removing themselves from the bricks and mortars concept, Rebecca took the opposite direction and headed inside Confederacy! Located in Los Feliz, she debuted her ready to wear and accessories collection as a store within a store concept. The look is simple and clean, with minimal pieces and handbags galore. Before I try to get inside, I found some pictures from within the store.

Kate in LA

This weekend Kate came down from England to LA for a Royal Visit. Out of all the states, they chose sunny California to come and get a good feel for America. They went to Skid Row, a Polo Match in Santa Barbara, and even met Jennifer Lopez. Quintessential Los Angeles
Here's what she looked like
