Is there something in the water? (Not a jab at Mexico’s water quality—I seriously love that country more than my own.) Who ISN’T designing a shoe line these days?
First Rachel Bilson for ShoeMint, then Cheryl Cole for StylistPick and now Anahí for Aviesta! It’s beyond strange (not really—totally makes sense) that all of my favorite pint-sized brunettes (and occasional blondes) have decided to launch an afforably-priced online shoe retailer at the same time, right?
Anahí is a little late to the party but she’s no less welcome! The Mexican singer/actress is the face of Aviesta— a brand that will ship you your pick of each month’s most stylish shoes for just MX $399 (right around US $45). You just have to take a quiz and enter your payment information to get started. As they say, “Nosotros creemos que el estilo no tiene fronteras [We believe style doesn’t have borders]” Does that mean you can get them shipped to the U.S.?
Watch Anahí explain how Aviesta works:
Check out some of my favorite shoes—can’t tell if they were designed by Anahí or Aviesta but they’re muy heavys.
Orange is supposed to be big pa’ la primavera, no?
Les debo mencionar que recibirán un par de zapatos GRATIS cuando 25 de sus amigos se hagan miembros. ¡ESO!
I’ll be posting more about Aviesta and Anahí in the coming weeks!

Nicola Roberts is quickly becoming my favorite solo act to result from Girls Aloud’s seemingly endless hiatus. (Sorry, Cheryl.) Her debut album, the insanely quirky—not to mention catchy— Cinderella’s Eyes, was among 2011’s best. Recently she recorded an acoustic set of three of her songs on The UK’s Album Chart Show Introduces… Her reflections on the writing and recording process are featured in each.
First, here’s “Yo-yo”:
Second, the Diplo-produced “Beat of My Drum”:
Third, “Sticks + Stones”:
Doesn’t she sound great? And what about that hair?! Could it get any bigger? The answer is yes. And in 2012 we expect her career to do the same.

It seems that Rhyme et Reason favorite Cheryl Cole has gone and become a shoe designer! Is there anything she can’t do? (Besides keeping a job in the U.S. Damn you, Simon Cowell!)
In between two insanely successful solo albums (perhaps even a third to come) and whisperings of a potential Girls Aloud reunion, a newly blonde Cheryl has somehow managed to design a shoe line for the UK site Stylistpick.com—which is essentially the same as Rachael Bilson’s stateside ShoeMint project. Take a quiz and get your pick of pre-screened shoes for a reasonable price point—remember it’s more than double if you’re ordering from the U.S.
Cole, like Bilson, was hands on in the design process picking shapes, colors, and materials for each of the affordable shoes as evidenced by the video below. Stylistpick explains: “Cheryl Cole, the nation’s icon, is designing her first range of shoes for fashion loving women who share (read: copy) her style.” Her Premium collection launched yesterday.

i love a cover as much as the next person, but sometimes if it isn’t done right the result is nothing short of bad karaoke. i’m talking to you ezra “who knew she was famous” koenig! nothing, and i mean nothing, compares to cheryl cole’s “fight for this love.”
and just look at these cheekbones:
