Giusepp stepped it up.

We all know Christian Louboutin has been dominating the womens luxury shoe industry but I must say Giuseppe Zanotti really out did them selves with they're fall 2008 collection.From the peep toe oxfords to the Knee high platform boots they're all to die for.

Progress

Beyonce was recently spotted in Nyc with hubby Jay-z wearing a t-shirt with presidential candidate Barack Obama's face and the word progress on it.B isn't the only celeb seen rocking t-shirts with a political message.Now a days Kim Kardashian ,Halle Berry,Rihanna and many other have done so aswell .I wonder if P.diddys vote or die campaign for the 2004 elections is to blame for the sudden interest in politics.The shirt is Obey and can be purchased on urbanoutfitters.com.They sold out in white and it is now only available in black .
