We understand that by collaborating with ShoeDazzle, Perez Hilton says 100%  of the profits will go towards the Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) but would you wear these?

He’s designed black pumps with rhinestones (see below) that don’t look too flattering, but the unisex silver metallic sneakers on the left don’t seem that bad, right?!

By Mercedes Sanchez

Nike invited us to preview their Fall/Winter 2011 collection, and let’s just say it makes me want to get up and move. We met the designers of their new bra and pants series. We even had a private working out session with Rihanna’s trainer Ary Nunez!

Take a look at our video recap towards the bottom of the post or watch it in its entirety on our BeChicTV Channel.

Why you’ll love their new line:

*The Victory Bra series includes a variety of styles including the Adjust X Bra which comes with adjustable straps and a chest band for targeted support.

*The bras’ molded mesh under-bust support helps lighten weight and moves with your body.

*The Legend Regular Pants come in sizes from XS to 3X.

*A subtle v-shape connecting the waistband to the legs enhances the curves and shape of the rear, while the rise is lowered in the front and tilted up at the rear for more coverage.

Here are some images of the new products:

FIRST PAIR OF CONVERSE

13 07 2010

Before the Heatpocalypse struck New York City a few days ago, I was already applying sunscreen throughout my body but often forgot one particular area: my feet! And since they seem to always be exposed, my toes are now slightly darker than the rest of my body which looks a little funny. That’s when I knew something had to be done. As much as I love my sandals and have a not-so-chic obsession with my year old FitFlops, I decided to get a pair of comfortable Converse sneakers.

There are two things I don’t necessarily like shopping for: jeans and sneakers. For me, finding the perfect fit and style is challenging. So I spent at least 30 minutes before deciding to go with these.

BONUS: I also purchased these Vans leather shoes, $55

When I asked for a 6.5 after trying on a size 7 of the classic low version, the guy helping me responded with, “You’ve never had Converse sneakers, right?” How could he have possibly known that? This only made me more uncomfortable. “This style runs big.” When he returned with the smaller size, I felt as if I was wearing clown shoes! Unfortunately, my legs are too thin to be rocking the low canvas.

So I went with the navy, skinny high tops that I actually wore today under my bootcut Levi jeans for comfort as I ran my morning errands. I have to admit since I almost never wear sneakers it was a little awkward at first, but it felt so good after a few minutes! -Mercedes
