How did I miss this?
While Kanye West got his Cindy Crawford on for A Bathing Ape, his girlfriend, Amber Rose, snuck in a layout for the January 2010 issue of Vibe magazine.
The photo shoot, titled A Splash of Masculinity shows Amber Rose rocking what I can only describe as a tiny blonde ‘wiglet’ and giving the masculine clothes a feminine edge. I think her face looks absolutely gorgeous in the photo above. Her skin glows and I always love a ruby red lip.
You know, I didn’t pay that much attention to them before, but I’m starting to really like Kanye West and Amber Rose together. Individually, they can be a little bit too much, but together, it all makes sense.

Nicole Richie hosts a New Year’s Eve Party at TAO in Las Vegas
Celebs came out for New Year’s Eve ready to dazzle and party their way into 2010. Christina Aguilera showed off her mean shoe game in a pair of Christian Louboutin Calypso shoes in red with a crystal toe.
Mariah Carey wore an silver mini on her bod and husband Nick Cannon on her arm, while Nick went for that Brat Pack, undone-bow-tie look. In Miami, Leighton Meester dared to be bare under a blue, silk tank paired with a sparkly belt and black miniskirt.
But Nicole Richie was my favorite look of the night. I love her with dark hair and her gold minidress and platform stilettos look chic and easy.

Peter Soronen dress from Rent the Runway
After the holidays, I’m always a little cash-strapped and I end up scrounging around the back of my closet trying to revive an old dress to wear out to all the New Year’s Eve parties.
But this year, I have the solution: a designer dress from Rent the Runway.
Rent the Runway lets you borrow dresses for a nominal fee starting at $50 and keep the dress up to 8 days. When you’re done, just mail it back. How simple is that?
New Year’s Eve is all about sparkle and shine and Rent the Runway has plenty of sparkly little cocktail numbers. A gorgeous champagne bubble of a dress by Lela Rose can be yours for $150 ($1,595 retail) and a sequined Tracy Reese dress that retails for $495 can be rented for just $50.
It’s not too late to rent your New Year’s Eve dress from Rent the Runway. Shipping only takes 2-3 days and lucky NYC residents can get same day delivery.
