Now this IS A SEXY SHOE!!! Mmmh! Mmmmh! Mmmmh! I'm just at a loss for words. I mean I was starting to get bored with the Jimmy Choo's, the Manolo's, and everybody else in the regular cast, etc. You know I was really starting to venture out. All of a sudden I see these babies. Low and behold I'm interested again!

Here We Go!!! Posh Spice On Vogue India

Because India is now the hip and happening place where so many wanna bees and Hollywood stars want to be, Posh Spice has agreed to be the cover model for this month’s issue of ‘Vogue’ India.

It really doesn’t matter that Posh is about as Indian as a bowl of borscht, she’s a style icon and can pull off any look--even that of an Indian princess. Check out her Vogue photo shoot, she’s simply stunning with extensions and a traditional Indian sari fit for royalty. She might want to consider keeping the long locks, she looks gorgeous.

VALENTINO---The Last Emperor

The October 20th screening of Valentino: The Last Emperor was shall we say, to die for. Even though it was in the middle of the day.

But then there was free popcorn, and Andre Leon Talley sat in the seat behind me. The movie started, and it was awesome.

The documentary opens with Valentino's Spring 06 collection, looks back on the Dolce Vita days and ends with his three day Roman blowout and retirement.

It's part love story (him and Giancarlo), and part tragic end of an era (of couturiers that simply won't exist again). It's about a man who's wants nothing more than to make women feel beautiful but who can't, or won't, find a way to fit into a changed industry, and I totally cried at the end.

But the best bits, which happen all though the movie right up until that final runway bow and Valentino's heartfelt tears, are all the hysterical Odd Couple moments between Valentino and Giancarlo. They bicker over sets, over models, over pleats, and when Giancarlo asks Valentino why he's using pink for his finale dresses instead of red, Valentino responds, disgusted, "Enough with the red! The red dresses are the most simple, the most stupid!"

Giancarlo says, "To be with Valentino as a friend, as a lover, as an employee - it's all the same. You need a lot of patience." And then he tells Valentino he's too tan, which was, I think, Andre's favorite moment.

Mine? When Karl Lagerfeld congratulated Valentino, "This is how it's done. Compared to us, all the rest are making rags!"

WHAT: Members Only's chinchilla and lambskin bomber jacket

WHY: Baby, it's cold outside, and what better way to beat the chill than with this too-cool-for-school bomber? When Members Only relaunched last year, the brand was embraced by hipsters and uptowners alike. The universal love is sure to extend to this super-luxe lambskin jacket trimmed in chinchilla.

Black Sabbath Converse

Here's a little trend I almost forgot to tell you about.

Considered to be one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, the Chuck Taylor has been kicking it for 91 years and counting. Definitely a favorite amongst musicians due to its classic, simple styling. As part of their music series this year, Converse releases a collection of Black Sabbath joints. Keeping it simple two pairs of Chuck Taylors are seen in a black and white colorway alongside a 4-strap Jack Purcell Hi reminiscent of the Nathan Cabrera for Dr. Romanelli’s seen a couple of years back. All three have hit select Converse accounts. Journey's has one style for pre-order and you can pick the other styles up November 1, 2008 at the Converse website.
