PARTNER: I Keep On Falling… Alicia Keys Falls During Her Essence Music Festival Performance

The Fashion Web — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:00:37 +0000

The very pregnant Alicia Keys recently took a little fall during her performance at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. Although Keys allegedly banned cameras from photographing or filming her performance, she was seen making an almost unnoticeable fall and a very quick recovery. Keys, who was wearing stiletto heels, slipped and fell backward while singing “Love is Blind.” A close source to Keys says both she and the baby were unharmed during the incident. Perhaps A-Keys should go on maternity leave until the baby arrives. Take a look at the video footage caught of Alicia Keys fall below.

SPREAD UM: Lara Stone and Morgan Freeman (???) By Bruce Weber For Vogue

Bruce Weber headed down to New Orleans to shoot Lara Stone and Morgan Freeman for the latest US Vogue. I guess Freeman’s becoming a triple threat actor/voice over/model? The concept is cool, opposites of old and young, but I can’t help but be creeped out by the photo of the two laying down laughing together. Shout out: Stone is wearing a Barak Obama shirt in the last photo.

High Fashion Reusable Grocery Bags

I know there have been many versions of the reusable grocery bags, but not one has been designed with high fashion in mind. Now you can carry your groceries in high fashion style, with a new line of colorful reusable shopping and grocery bags.

The ‘its-laS-tik’ line utilize a special flexible nylon and lycra fabric blend in a wild array of colors and patterns.

They are manufactured totally by Hurricane Katrina survivors in New Orleans.

The bags are designed to stretch and take the shape of the contents you place inside. Big, small, heavy, light… they move with you and STRETCH, making it feel like you aren’t really carrying much.

What’s more, they move up and down when you walk, springing up and down, as you walk. It’s a whole new experience as the elasticity and flexibility of the bag reduces the stress on your body and makes the load easier to carry.

The bags are washable, reusable, economical and fashionable. The bags spring back into shape when emptied and roll up into a very compact little configuration.

They presently come in two designs and can be ordered in a wide range of solid or metallic colors or prints.

Five percent of all sales are donated to Hope House in New Orleans, LA.

Bags are 12″ x 13″ cost $12.99 and pouches 5″x 9″ with zipper & wristlet cost $11.9
