Make up artist Pat McGrath will be collaborating with haute designers Dolce & Gabbana to create a make up line. Congrats to McGrath! This is huge for a woman of color, many may not know it but she is the creative guru behind cosmetic brands, such as Max Factor, Armani, and Cover Girl. Ultra haute.

Sneak Trend

Nike seems to have a trend going with sneaks inspired by throwback movies. Some of you may remember my blog entry last month (Billy & Sidney) on the "White Men Can't Jump" shoe, well now all those "Anchorman" fans can get the SB Dunk Low "Will Ferrell" sneaker. The Nike shoe prompted by the "Ron Burgundy" character retails for $130.00, and can be purchased online at http://item.rakuten.co.jp/ltd-online/304292-672/
