Whats Poppington: Karrueche Tran, Giuseppe Zanotti and Studded Denim Jacket’s

Giuseppe-Zanotti-White-Fringe-Boots Splurge-Karrueches-Emerson-Nightclub-Giuseppe-Zanotti-White-Fringe-BootsKarrueche Tran celebrate the birthday of her former man friend, Chris Brown at Emerson Nightclub wearing a studded denim jacket, and $1,695 Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Afro Wild’ White Fringed Peep Toe Boots from the Giuseppe Zanotti’s ‘African Queen‘ collection.  Follow the highlighted link to see more.0381_1639_901_f FD1208GBULK

I thought it would be super savvy to create your own studded denim jacket, so I gathered a few items to help you with this craft.  The first thing you would need is the denim jacket, and these days you can find them at just about any clothing retailer. To name a few there’s American Eagle, Gap, Old Navy and Wet Seal, with prices under $50.00. Next you need studs and I’ve found several styles of studs from this awesome site called  beadkraft.com. Once you have your studs and your denim jacket put the studs on the jacket and your done. Pretty smart huh, and you’ve now saved about $65.00 to $75.00 on a wardrobe piece that will always be in style. Home made punk chic. Cut the sleeves off of your denim jacket at the shoulder seams for the sleeveless look.

On the Bahamas shoot: “I loved shooting the campaign in the Bahamas,” says Beyoncé of the photoshoot shot by Jonas Åkerlund, the same photog who shot the TV commercial for her upcoming Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. “We shot on a beach outside of Nassau and the weather was perfect. The shoot was filled with vibrant colors and was inspired by the glamour of the late ‘70s.”

On her summer style: “I love the summer. I’m always in shorts, dresses, light, flowing fabrics, great sandals,” says Beyoncé of her summer looks. She credits her stylists Ty Hunter and Raquel Smith as “an influential part of the process” each day.

On her mother’s style influence: “I think my style comes from watching my mother from the time I was a little girl. She was so stylish. She was the first person I saw mix high end pieces with more accessible styles and make it all work. I’m also inspired by my sister, I love her bold approach.”

What Poppington: Rebecca Minkoff’s by Bag Snob Tina

RebeccaMinkoff_Skylar_Cross_Body_Bag

When it comes to hardware, Rebecca Minkoff’s focus always seems to be on the hard. Decked out unapologetically in silver biker studs that run all the way down the strap under the bag, the Skylar mini cross body has serious metal. To contrast the edgy embellishments, the tiny saddle bag comes in a rainbow’s range of adorable colors like poppy pink, periwinkle, sunny, and mint! Rebecca’s ability to blend girly designs and colors with strong hardware seems to be her signature style, and with this latest little addition, I’m sure her rapidly expanding empire is about to grow even faster. Whether you’re dancing the night away or sightseeing in the tropics, the mini Skylar is a must-have for your summer adventures. How anyone could choose just one of these delicious candy colors is beyond me, but at this affordable price, we can have them all! To meet Rebecca in person and take a look at her spring collection, drop by Dallas’ Willow Bend Neiman Marcus today from 6 to 8 p.m. Mini Skylar available on Shopbop for $225. By Bag Snob Tina

Whats Poppington: Rihanna Struts Without Pants and Tom Ford Pumps

What do you think of Ri Ri’s  Ottawa Senators Red, Black, and White Jersey and Tom Ford Spring 2013 Gold Ankle Cuff Pumps. I’m personally feeling the pumps. They have a strong sex appeal to them and you can wear them with just about anything. Now for the question that I asked myself when I first saw these pics, on The Fashion Bomb Daily, and that’s where the hell is her pants. I am not feeling this look. A pant-less jersey is to be worn at home with sexy hair when your trying to look effortlessly cute. I think she was thinking about Chris Brown and walked out of the house without any pants on. I’m easily distracted too, I leave my pants home when I get side tracked as well, so I totally get it….NOT!
