Like hard. A man in China bought his girlfriend 9,999 roses and then had them made into a gown just so he could propose to her in the amusement park where they met three years ago. Suddenly that discount bouquet and box of generic chocolates you got from the bodega around the corner don’t seem so great, do it?

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

The skinny stiletto has gone on a long walk for the fall 2012 season, replaced by chunky heels with a more masculine edge. Boots fall in two lengths — ankle length or thigh-high, leaving the mid-calf field all but bare. And black, unsurprisingly is big, but burgundy is a strong color for the season as seen on the runways for Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam and Diane von Furstenberg, among others.

And she’s brought along a few friends including Bar Refaeli, Irina Shayk, Chrissy Teigen,  Adam Levine’s main squeeze Anne V and supermodel of the world Crystal Renn. Check out the ladies after the jump.

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

A little scandal never hurt anyone. Just ask Bernard Arnault and the folks at Chrisitan Dior. While Converse is the most liked brand on Facebook with over 22 million fans, Dior’s 6.5 million fans ain’t nothing to sneeze at; particularly since more than 153,000 of them liked the posts Dior added in January. Compare that to the 100,000-plus post likes at Converse and it looks like quality trumps quantity — a first in Facebook’s short but trashy history.
