Everybody's talking of none other than Christian Louboutin and his black peep-toe pumps. Simple, elegant and ridiculously expensive, these babies have proven irresistible to Angelina Jolie, Ashley Olsen and Nicole Richie (who even sported 'em on her court date).
Price: about $800. Knowing your shoes can face everything from photogs to a DUI charge: priceless.

It’s body art. It’s creative. And yes, it’s edgy.
The following pictures were edited to hide some "private" parts. Look closely and share your opinion!

Amateur designers are being exposed in all areas of the fashion industry. Made popular by TV shows like Project Runway, entrepreneurs and designer-wannabes are gaining the confidence to be discovered.
The Be Discovered: Handbag Design Competition by Marie Claire and Glam.com ended with a winner from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Among 8 finalists, Orean Collier, a self-taught artist and single mother, became the winner with her handbag “Lillian” by getting more than 50,000 Glam.com votes. According to Ms. Collier, Lillian is designed to honor memories of her grandmother. In the days to come, she will be “Accessories Editor for a day” with Marie Claire magazine.
