Move over Christian Louboutin! Julianne Moore, Jessica Chastain and Sofia Vergara prove Charlotte Olympia is the new It shoe on the red carpet

It used to be the case that no A-lister would be seen walking the red carpet without their red-soled companions - Christian Louboutin heels.
But if the SAG Awards last weekend was anything to go by, Forties-inspired Charlotte Olympia shoes are in the running to become the new It shoe label.
Among the stars who showed their devotion to the British label at the event were Sofia Vergara, Jessica Chastain and Julianne Moore.

Zero Dark Thirty actress Jessica Chastain went red from head to toe, coordinating her dress, lipstick shade and Charlotte Olympia 'Paloma' shoes with her signature red hair.
And though few were able to get a glimpse of them, Julianne Moore's strappy white 'Gilda' shoes from the British brand complemented her plunging white gown.

She says her fashion creations are inspired by her favorite era - the Forties.
Her Old Hollywood-style designs feature patterns including tropical prints, animal spots, piano keys and bold stripes and polka dots.
The soles of her shoes are all stamped with her signature gold spiderweb logo.

Problems of fakes and counterfeits
 

The future of women's ugg boots is still quite bright as they are in demand. However the major problem that is faced by industry is the counterfeits and the fakes. The fakes look like the real thing, but they are not. Usually the fakes will sue pigskin or any other cheaper or even fake leather to manufacture the shoes. They will then stitch the fleece, which is quite coarse. The stitching, soles and uppers of the shoe will usually give way. Since they use inferior and bad quality materials that are relatively inexpensive, these fakes are sold at a much cheaper arte than the original uggs.


Controversy regarding the Ugg trademark
 

Of course there are retailers that stock the genuine Ugg boots also. Further Ugg boots are a generic term in Australia, where boots made form sheepskin, kangaroo skin and emu skins are also known as Uggs. However, they are known by other names such as Roxy or Whooga. Consumers are also confused whether they are genuine uggs or not. This is a trademark controversy as "Uggs" is a registered trademark by Deckers Corporation in more than 70 countries around the world. The name uggs was actually in use in Australia for the past 90 years. When the boots became fashionable in US in 2000, the problem over the trademark infringement started.
Anyway, what the common customers pay attention to is the price as well as the actual use, right?

Naked ambition: Chris Brown's ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran poses topless for magazine, as she admits Rihanna love triangle was 'dysfunctional and negative'

She shot to fame when she found herself in the midst of a love triangle between boyfriend Chris Brown and his on-off-on again beau Rihanna.
But following her split from Brown last year, model Karrueche Tran is grabbing a share of the spotlight for herself.
The 24-year-old leaves little to the imagination as she poses topless on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Out magazine.

 

Daring to bare: Karrueche Tran poses in just a necklace and flesh coloured pair of panties on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Out magazine

The star's modesty is only just protected by her long black hair and a pair of flesh coloured panties.
The steamy photographs show off the model's copious tattoos on her back and wrists, while a chunky necklace, ring, and smoky eye make-up complete the look.
Tran is more tactful than candid in an accompanying interview where she discusses the negative attention she received from fans - and sometimes seemingly from Rihanna herself - when she was dating Brown.
'It was very hard,' she admits. 'I first realised there was a change [when] more people would talk about me in blogs and such.

 

Moving on: The model speaks out about the 'negativity and misconception' surrounding her when she was dating Chris Brown

 

Naked reflections: Tran posed seductively in a trick shot where she showed off another tattoo on her hand

Former love: Tran pictured with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown back in 2011

'The paparazzi would take pictures and follow me when I wasn’t around Chris. I was like "Chris is not here, why are you following me?" But I was constantly seeing myself on blogs and websites. It was kind of weird.'
Cryptic tweets and Instagram posts from Rihanna were interpreted by some fans at being directed at Tran who says she tried to stay positive throughout.
'The most challenging part about the attention was the negativity and the misconception from some people,' she says. 'People only see you in blogs and they think they know everything about your life. There are things that go public and everything that comes out is not the truth.'
However, Tran is capitalising on her new found fameby bringing out a clothing line called The-Kill later this year.

'I've learned to find happiness within myself,' she told the magazine. 'I've also built a strong core. The past year was a big growing-up process for me. I'm not saying I was immature before, but the past year, my eyes were opened to a lot of things.'
'Honestly, all I want is happiness. There was a lot of dysfunction and negativity. I hope people can learn from my story. I want to be remembered as someone who remained positive through such a negative situation.'

'Absolutely NUTS': Miss Alabama USA Katherine Webb gets stuck into the scrum as she reports on the Super Bowl

She has turned reporter for the Super Bowl since becoming an internet sensation.

Katherine became an internet sensation earlier this month after ESPN commentator Brent Musburger singled her out while she watched her quarterback boyfriend A.J. McCarron play in the BCS Championship.
And the moment broadcasters gushed over Katherine as the cameras panned to her appears to have been more lucrative than the beauty queen could have ever imagined.

Two in three complaints against banks upheld as record 15,000 complaints a week lodged by angry customers

Complaints to the banking watchdog have soared to unprecedented levels as banks refuse to settle thousands of  customers’ PPI disputes.
The Financial Ombudsman Service is being swamped by 15,000 a week, two thirds of which are upheld, and is having to take on an extra 1,000 staff to cope with the deluge.
Customers can appeal to the FOS when complaints made directly to financial firms are rejected, so its figures are just the tip of the iceberg.

The new figures published by the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) make clear that banks are continuing to reject legitimate complaints

Complaints about the mis-selling of payment protection insurance for loans, credit cards and mortgages dominate the figures, representing 10,000 a week.
In the three months to December, the FOS received 180,679 complaints from across the financial sector, including mortgage sales and pensions, bringing the total for the nine months to December to 341,666 – 29 per cent more than the total for the entire 2011-12 financial year.
A British Bankers Association spokesman said: ‘Banks are committed to handling PPI complaints efficiently.

 

‘But the actions of unscrupulous claims management companies, who refer huge numbers of claims to the ombudsman whether there are grounds to or not, mean the system is being clogged up.’
The big banks have already set aside some £12billion to compensate victims of what is the biggest mis-selling scandal in British banking history.

 

However, even this figure may not be enough and the banks are making attempts to put a time limit on any new claims.

The findings suggest the big banks, some of which would not exist but for being rescued by billions of taxpayer pounds, continue to treat customers with contempt

PPI was sold to customers on the basis that it would provide a financial safety net, covering repayments to the bank if they suddenly lost their job or fell ill.
However, it was pushed by hard-sell bank staff, many working on commission, to people who would never be able to make a claim, including part-time and seasonal workers, pensioners and others with long-standing illnesses. 
The ombudsman said it is upholding 66 per cent of PPI complaints, which only reach the ombudsman after the customer has been turned away by their bank.
FOS is having to take on an extra 1,000 staff to try to handle the avalanche of complaints from across the financial sector, including sales of mortgages, pensions and the management of share portfolios.
PPI is not the only area where complaints are rising sharply. FOS said there were 1,893 complaints about life insurance policies between October and December, which was up by 26 per cent on the same period a year earlier.
Complaints about personal pensions rose 18 per cent to 1,537, with 33 per cent upheld, while investment portfolio management complaints were up by 24 per cent to 1,173, with 53 per cent upheld.
Executive director at the consumer champion, Which? Richard Lloyd said: ‘PPI is now the biggest financial mis-selling scandal of all time and the banks should be proactively contacting their customers and making sure it is as easy as possible for those with a legitimate claim to get their money back, without any hassle.’ 
The banks recently asked the FSA to consider setting a deadline for customers to claim compensation for mis-sold PPI amid fears about the uncertainty that the rising bill is creating for investors.
