Parties & Events: Roger Vivier Event at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills

Me with Roger Vivier Creative Director Roopal Patel and Neiman Marcus' Bruno Frisoni.

Friday I had the pleasure to attend the Roger Vivier Event at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. Fans of the brand, fashion who's who and lookers on turned out for the fabulous event, which included a preview, a lunch, and of course shopping. The event included a meet and greet with Roger Vivier Creative director Roopal Patel and Neiman MarcusWomen's Fashion Accessory Senior market Editor, Bruno Frisoni.Actress Tichina Arnold even dropped by.

Credited with creating the first stiletto in 1954, Roger Vivier was widely criticized and admired for his elaborate shoe designs. He used silks, appliqué, pearls, beads, lace, and jewels. his designs were often considered sculptures with their extraordinary design and adornments. The brand also produces haute couture footwear as well.

What's exciting about Roger Vivier collections is that you never know what to expect. Creativity is abundant behind the scenes and each design is truly unique. The fall collection is bursting with color and enchanting embellishments. Brand lovers can expect more of the same for spring. Many thanks to Meghan Mino and the Neiman Marcus staff for helping me give CFB readers the inside scoop!

CFB Photos: Adrienne Bailon Celebrates Her 26th Birthday

 Adrienne strikes a pose at her birthday dinner.

Adrienne Bailon turned 26 on October 24th and celebrated at the Le Souk Harem in NYC. She has made better fashion choices so I was surprised to see her looking just so-so in this dress. Not feeling this salmon frock at all. Maybe if a steamer had run over it, it wouldn't be so bad...But we still wish you a Happy Birthday anyway, Adrienne!!

Entertainment: Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part 1 Airs Tonight

Not your average Georgia peaches: Kandi, Nene, Lisa, Kim, and Sheree.

Just when you thought it was over, those Real Housewives of Atlanta are back for the reunion show to clear the air and reflect on this past season. Season 2 was probably the most talked about. We saw the housewives party, fight, and fuss this season with more style than ever.

The reunion show will especially interesting since Khandi will be talking publicly for the first time about the loss of her ex-fiance Ashley "A.J." Jewell. We'll see how Nene handles herself since she is always complaining about how everyone "talks" about her and blames her for everything. Is Kim's "engagement" to Big Poppa, real or fake? Is Lisa pregnant? Did she lose her house? How does she fill about Sheree's clothing line? Will Sheree's She by Sheree brand be sold in stores? What's next for Kandi? And of course Dwight will have to throw in his 2 cents. Wouldn't be a show without him, right?

Tune in tonight on at 10PM EST/PST on Bravo.

Here's a sneak peak clip.

Fashion & Style News: Jimmy Choo to Hit H&M Stores Soon

November marks the debut of the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection. Tamara Mellon, founder and designer of the Jimmy Choo brand confessed to having a tough time designer a lower-end collection for H&M customers. Jimmy Choo is hardly a brand associated with affordability, but it remains a favorite among shoe fashionistas and influential people like Michelle Obama.

Jimmy Choo for H&M will not only include shoes and accessories but clothes as well. At the urging of H&M execus, Mellon agreed to create an apparel collection for H&M customers, giving the fashion-conscious on a budget a chance to experience the brand.

Sequin-covered dresses with plunging necklines, one-shoulder suede mini-dresses and faux-fur vests and boxy zipped cardigans are sure to delight the party girls while the equally edgy shoes are high-heeled, over the knee (boots) and gladiator worthy.

The collection hits more than 200 H&M stores on November 14th.

CFB Style Scope: Scorpio (October 23-November 22)

 

Clockwise: Gabrielle Union, Thandie Newton, Eve and Ciara.

Scorpio women are astutely intense. Nothing gets past them, really. If they are into something or someone, they are totally into it. Half measures are not acceptable for the Scorpio, like Aries, it's all or nothing. Fashion wise she is quite selective with her clothes. Whatever she likes she buys and trends don't influence her much. She loves dark reds, black, violet, and other dark hues. The key word with the Scorpio lady is mystery.

Style Tip: Dress your eyes the way you dress your body.

Must Have Accessory: Killer heels.

Colors: Black, Burgundy, White, Navy, Violet, Cobalt

Favorite Label: Versace
