Who Crushed It Better?

Whitney ~vs~ Madonna is today's WCIB segment.

Both women are huge icons and up in age, but gorgeous!

WCIB??? You decide!

Whitney and Madonna both rocking a Dolce & Gabana leopard print dress.

Its obvious this dress was not a one-of-a-kind but it's definitely Crushable!

The question is, Who Crushed It Better?

Taboo X JUMP Collection

JUMP has been Crushing the sneaker game in 2009!

These are not just your ordinary kicks...

When JUMPS hit the pavement, you're making a major statement!

Taboo of Black Eyed Peas jumped on the JUMP bandwagon adding that high-end flavor to tennis kicks. The series is titled Taboo X JUMP Collection.
My sources tell me that Taboo is a real footwear addict.

It's rumored that he owns over 700 pairs of kicks.

Taboo's JUMP kicks consist of red, black, metallic gold and white colors with detailed stitching throughout. Taboo added his own personal style to this collection.
I'd love to see you Crush'em!

Crushin' Nail Colour

Absolutely love this color by OPI.

...it's a deep, jewel-toned violet-blue that is electrifying.

In brighter lights the color comes off more purple than blue,

but in natural lighting its much more invigorating deep blue.

Perfect for the holiday season.

A crush, you think???

Spring Crush

Some looks from the Valentino Spring 2010 RTW collection. We know it's the start of the holiday season, but these are inspiring a bit of spring fever.

Trim the Tree

It's that time of the year again, when it's time to trim and decorate the Christmas tree. Another pretty ornament here, a string of popcorn there, and some metallic garland all around blah, blah, blah. So, as my shoecrush dreams have sparkly shoes dancing in my head, I envision replacing the traditional sparkly balls with some expensive ornamental shoes instead.
