8-year-old Kendall Jenner looked like a model off duty while strolling in LA, where the reality darling rocked a cool yet casual look. We’ve seen oxford shoes everywhere, (they certainly aren’t just for dudes anymore!), and the stylish star exhibits the perfect way to try the trend. The shoes added a little edge to her all-black ensemble and we loved the mode touch her shoes added to her outfit.

Kendall Jenner’s Oxford Shoes:

Decked out in all black, her ShoeDazzle shoes added a pop of color to the get-up as she tued the sidewalk into her very own runway! She accomplished this with fitted capris that are lined with leather detailing down the side of her legs and a slightly baggy, three-quarter sleeve black cotton shirt. Shielded with sunglasses and sporting double silver necklaces, she looked effortlessly stylish. Proving to the world that attention to detail is key, she matched the killer shoes to her manicure as she sported black and white polish on every other nail.

While the menswear-inspired shoes have taken over the ladies department in practically every shoe store, we love the way Kendall tried the trend. We would never expect to see her older sisters in oxfords, (maybe Kourtney would try the look), but Kendall proves that her style is all her own. We also love the fact that the teen sported an affordable pair of shoes! Her black and white pair is laceless, giving it an easy slip-on style. If you want to get the look she showed off in Califoia on Oct. 19 SHOP for her ShoeDazzle shoes HERE for just $45.95.

In this age of customized everything-lattes, sneakers, Monopoly boards-it’s perhaps surprising that most women still leave their cosmetics colors to the experts.

But new this fall on Prince Street in SoHo is a store where New Yorkers can mix and muddle to create a personalized lipstick (down to color, finish and scent) for about $28.

Lip Lab, as it is called, is the first stand-alone store from Bite Beauty, a two-year-old company in Toronto whose all-natural lipsticks were previously available only through Sephora. The D.I.Y. operation follows the success of a summer pop-up shop in the same location, which had women lining up around the coer and sitting on the pavement, waiting to concoct their desired shade.

The idea to make this Willy Wonka-ish operation came after Bite representatives took their supplies to a promotional event at Sephora in Toronto; the crowd was very interested in the simple process of making all-natural lipstick, said the company’s founder, Susanne Langmuir. So the brand decided to make creation part of the purchase process.

“Women are always searching for the perfect lipstick shade,” Ms. Langmuir said. “It’s also an excellent lab experience for us, because we see what color trends customers choose to create, and that helps us decide our ready-made collection.”

A boutique whose vibrant colors suggest a candy store, Lip Lab features three “play” stations where customers choose from pods of primary colors and deep reds and then finger-paint to get the desired result.

Once a customer creates her hue, she selects from three finishes (sheer glossy, bold matte or crème deluxe) and six scents (citrus, vanilla, superfruit mint, lilac, cherry or mint).

Bite experts then assist customers in concocting the lipsticks, which the company said are food-grade quality and made with organic and gluten-free ingredients.

“When I’m wearing something on my lips, it’s eventually going to be eaten, so I like that Bite’s product is edible,” said Sharon Marcus, 31, a homemaker from the Upper East Side.

She said she had come to the store to try to replicate a favorite but discontinued Clinique lipstick, Soft Bloom, which she swore was the only natural-looking lipstick that complimented her fair complexion.

Days before the pop-up shop closed in mid-September so that the space could be renovated, Stephanie Spence, 25, a lipstick technician for Bite, arrived to work “Breaking Bad” style. Sporting a pharmaceutical white coat and black latex gloves, she blended pigments from two color pods to produce a musky shade of orange.

She then headed to the test kitchen, where the walls are lined with beakers of oils and waxes.

Ms. Spence placed two hand-milled lipstick “truffles” from a bakery tray into a centrifuge, which melted into one homogeneous color. The molten hue was then poured into a metal bullet mold, where it sat on a freezing plate for five minutes before carefully being placed inside a plastic lipstick case for 10 minutes.

A card breaking down the formula is provided to the customer for future visits.

“It was a little awkward at first, meshing colors to match precisely what the customers were looking for,” Ms. Spence said. “Eventually, you pick up the ratios.”

Lip Lab also sells Bite’s ready-made products. Among the popular options for winter: Honey Lip Lacquer, a waterproof gloss made with Manuka honey, in the rosy shade Chianti, and the Cashmere Lip Cream, a pigmented lip butter, in deep purple Bordeaux.

They are cheaper than many versions of the real thing, and will not produce a hangover.

Prior to the 20th MTV EMAs Sunday night here at the Ziggo Dome, some of the stars in attendance walked the red carpet to loud cheers from local fans.

Katy Perry, ahead of her EMA performance later in the night, drew one of the biggest cheers. She told a group of reporters that her boyfriend couldn't come with her, because he was attending another event.

Miley Cyrus was the last celebrity to walk across the red carpet, drawing huge cheers. She only talked to MTV as fans continued to scream. She then posed for pictures, showing off high black-and-white boots and a short outfit that showed off her back.

Will Ferrell walked the red carpet as Ron Burgundy. Asked by reporters how he was enjoying Amsterdam, he said he has had "a lot of these delicious brownies, and they are very good."

Discussing who he was looking forward to seeing at the EMAs, he said: "I'm looking forward to seeing a reunion concert by ABBA." He said "Dancing Queen" was his favorite ABBA song.

What does he have on his iPod? "I don't have an iPod," Burgundy told the press. "I have an old-fashioned cassette tape recorder."

Asked about his new movie, he said it was a documentary. "You're going to see me Dec. 20 in the United States, and Europe probably January or February," he said. "Or they may put it in a time capsule."

Quizzed about what else he was working on right now, he said: "I'm working on my abs."

Arrow and Teen Wolf actor Colton Haynes took time off from shooting to present an award at the EMAs.

"I'm working on Arrow right now, shooting in Vancouver. It's exciting," he said, adding he was also hoping to work on a movie one day. "Definitely in the future," he said when asked about his interest in film work. "That would be awesome."

Asked about his interest in music, Haynes said he enjoys it, but doesn't expect to create more himself. "I did theater growing up," he said. "It's not my goal, but I did put out some stuff musically."

Redfoo said he was looking forward to hosting the EMAs and seeing all stars perform. How many outfits did the EMA team get ready for him? "I got more than seven, less than 28," he said.

Asked when his solo album will be released, he wouldn't commit to a date, but told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's coming soon." He added: "The title on Wikipedia is not the real title. That's just a fake title."

Young Dutch producer Martin Garrix whose "Animals" has taken over charts in the U.K. and elsewhere discussed his big oveight success.

"It's great. We didn't expect it," he told THR. "I made Animals as a club record to get play in festival, but some radio stations picked it up and started playing it. I'm really happy. And just today we entered at number one in the U.K."

Asked for his next plans, he said he is working on another release, but didn't share its title. "The follow-up is already ready and will be released on Dec. 2, but we are still focusing on Animals, because it also just came out in the U.S.," he said.
