“Partner let me upgrade you,” yeah Beyonce said it best. 2009 ladies, it’s all about the UPGRADE! Whatever it may be: your job, your bank account, your kit, your man . . . you’re worth the best, so think big, go hard and trade-up! To inspire you on your journey for success we are starting the year on top . . . and what brand wouldn’t be more goal worthy than Chanel? Yeah, we thought you might agree. Presenting M.I.S.S. January 2009, lovingly nicknamed, “Chanails,” we bring you a mani inspired by all things Chanel: interlocking CC’s, the cap-toe, tweed, chain-link, quilting . . . luxluxlux!!!
Your mantra for the new year: “Two Thousand and MINE!” We here at M.I.S.S. wish you a year of love, health, wealth and the real deal . . . no Canal Street specials here ya’ll! This is the Fo’ Real not the Faux Real and yes those boxes are full.
Sneaker Freaker did their annual “Best of the Best” feature in Issue 14. If you can’t wait to get your hands on a copy, you can check out the feature online here. We did you the favor of sorting through and picking out what the ladies in the industry thought. Did you think I would choose any other shoe? Pro Mama for life! Haha, check out what the other ladies including M.I.S.S. Lori from Female Sneaker Fiend, M.I.S.S. Mafia from Sneaker Freaker, Tara from Trash Bag Aesthetics, the Club Zonder Filter ladies, and many more after the jump. (more…)
A few months back I gave you a peak of the exclusive Sneaker Freakette Smurfette tee. Now, I’m here to say that you can have one too! The good folks at Sneaker Freaker printed up a whole new batch of fun tees - including some style for the ladies. You can purchase the tees online on Sneaker Freaker here. These would be great gifts for the sneaker head - male or female - in your life.
“Walking in a winter wonderland” . . . Ok, well maybe not in these deadstock L.A. Gears. And, as much as we love snow covered streets, snow is most certainly not a friend to your precious kicks. We like the cold that comes with these winter months as long as we are snuggled up by a cozy fire where we can keep ourselves, and our kicks, dry and warm. Perhaps with a cup of hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows, like M.I.S.S. December’s thumbnail perhaps? However you do it this holiday season, do it with your nail kit tiiiiiight! We wish you, yours and your kicks the happiest and healthiest of holidays, and much love and new sneakers in the coming year!

A couples weeks ago I was able to make it to another Nike Sportswear Cinema Tuesdays to view a special advance screening of the Spanish thriller TIMECRIMES.
The director of the film Nacho Vigalondo was in attendance and introduced the Oscar-nominated short about a man who accidentally travels back in time and finds himself involved in an unpredictable crime. The film was not your typical futuristic time travel movie. TIMECRIMES opens in theaters on December 12th as part of Magnet’s Six Shooter Film Series.
That night there was also a Karaoke Challenge and guests were invited to sign up and join Nacho and special guest Raina Lee (author of Hit Me With Your Best Shot: The Ultimate Guide To Karaoke Domination) sing on stage. Although I was really tempted, I couldn’t do it! Luckily there were plenty of people in the audience willing to sing their hearts out.
Remember to check out Nikesportwear.com or Flux.net Flux.net for information on Cinema Tuesdays. The December schedule is TBD to keep checking either website for updates.Tickets are FREE but you have to RSVP!
Also don’t forget to check get the retail store at The Montalbán for all your holiday shopping needs. Store hours are:
Wednesday & Thursday 11am-9pm
Friday & Saturday 11am-10pm
Sunday 12pm-8pm
Peep more pics of the event after the jump… (more…)
Here’s a sneak peek at what Fila has in store for the general release women’s collection for Spring 2009. There is much reliance on the new Melrose model sneaker that I’ve shown you in my previous Fila previews, so here we see the Melrose, and the Melrose Scarf editions, as well as two rainbowlicious metallic classic F13’s close up in full glory. These sneakers will be dropping in stores nationwide in February and March of 2009, and will retail for $70 for Melrose and Melrose Scarf models, and $65 for the F13’s. Check out the full collection after the jump.
