Rachel Roy enlisted the help of women’s surfer Karina Petroni to create a line of shoes inspired by Petroni’s style. Picture around the way chicks with a pair of booty shorts x off the shoulder top x these kicks= STR8 STYLIN’!


I am in love with the Adinah sneakers and feel that they are a must for summer. The sneakers have a tribal pattern accented by navy and red. They’re also available in light blue/cool grey with a tribal print insole at a mere $99. Cop them HERE rachelroy.com

Fashion designer and entrepreneur Rachel Roy has teamed up with Fair Winds Trading, an organization that has opened U.S. markets to thousands of female entrepreneurs in Africa & Indonesia. Many of these women have been affected by genocide, abuse and poverty; and also struggle to break free from abusive husbands and fathers. Fair Winds offers these women an opportunity to earn a living to escape. Rachel will be offering handcrafted pieces including clutches and bracelets from these inspiring women in Rwanda and Tanzania as part of the RACHEL Rachel Roy collection and proceeds from each piece will help benefit the lives of these women by giving them an opportunity to earn an income, provide for their families and ultimately independence.

Earlier this week Rachel announced via social networks Facebook and Twitter about her upcoming trip to the motherland in which she’ll be accompanied by U.K. sensation Estelle and her daughter Ava. She writes,

“Next month Estelle & I will travel to Africa to meet women survivors of genocide, abuse & poverty. Through Fairwinds Trading these women are able to earn an income by creating exquisite handmade goods which are sold in the U.S. I am grateful to play a role in helping to change their lives by providing jobs & offering their handcrafted pieces through RRR.”

A plethora of celebrities including the stars of “Obsessed”, Beyonce and Idris Elba attended the screening at  the School of Visual Arts in NYC yesterday. Of course MaMa Knowles was there to support her baby. Other celebs who came through to show some love were fashion designer, Rachel Roy, Kim Kardashian, Uncle Russ and his boo, and Naturi Naughton.

 D. Woods and Mya who’s been M.I.A for a minute, finally came out of hiding and attended “Operation Smiles 2009 Jr. Smile Collection” in NYC yesterday. Top Model, Jaslene Gonzales and R&B newcomer Shontelle were also in attendance. WTF is Jaslene wearing?! Shorty needs a new stylist ’cause she looks horrible!

Wondering how Damon Dash went from being a mogul to facing foreclosure and owing $2 million in state taxes?! Well, Dame blames his generous nature for his financial woes insisting that he spent too much time helping others succeed, including his soon to be ex-wife Rachel Roy and Jim Jones that he lost sight of his own career. He says,

“My mistake was watching everyone else’s careers and not watching mine.” He adds, “After being able to settle my wife’s company, I was able to start doing other things. My first approach was the music business and getting with Jim Jones… I spent the last six months doing research, trying to figure out how to use all my resources to blow this out (make his album a hit)”.


It’s quite obvious that Dame wasted his time building Rachel’s career ’cause now she wants out of their marriage and unfortunately he’s going broke! Can Jimmy salvage what’s left of Dame’s career?!

Maybe its time Dame Dash reconsider the next chick to wife up…maybe that’ll give a career booster- peep some potential rebound chicks HERE!

Poor Dame Dash can’t get a break. First his ex-best friend/partner, Jay-Z dropped his ass and now his designer wife Rachel Roy is saying “Peace” to him too! Word is Rachel filed for divorce in New York’s Manhattan Supreme Court earlier this month. Although much of her success with her fashion line can be credited to Dame, she’s aware of his financial woes as the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief”. As if things couldn’t be worse for Dame, he’s facing foreclosure on two of his New York properties, owes $2 million in state taxes and is also being sued by various lawfirms and landlords over unpaid bills.

What the hell did Dame do with his bread?! Instead of hittin’ the clubs with his teenage son he better start hittin them books to figure out where all his money went!

LexAve: Like Jay-Z says, “When the money goes….”
