One of my all-time favorite actresses with her quirky personality and her infamous gorgeous smile, Cameron Diaz, walked the red carpet at the New York Premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre. Cameron wore a minidress from Chanel’s spring 2011 collection last night to the premiere of Bad Teacher, her most recent film with Justin Timberlake. She kept her outfit simple with tousled hair, pointy black pumps and completed the look with Casadei and gold Cartier jewelry. The Chanel dress is a tad bit on the short side and semi-sheer on top of that, but Cameron seems to pull it off. What do you guys think of her look?
When I heard the news, I had to take a double look. Versace and H&M are collaborating? It seems too good to be true to think that one of the most exclusive names in high fashion are now going to be available at the most accessible and stylish names of trendy chic fashion. Women’s Wear Daily reports that Versace will team up with the ever expanding H&M this fall on a collection of womenswear, men’s clothes and home items. These hot items are to hit stores November 17. Versace will also put together a pre-spring collection to be sold online in select countries in January 2012.
According to The Telegraph, the womenswear collection will be dominated by dresses featuring studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewelery. The men's collection will focus on sharp tailoring, including 'the perfect tuxedo', as well as belts and jewelery, while for the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will include some homeware pieces, including cushions and a bedspread.
Donatella said, “I am thrilled to be collaborating with H&M and to have the opportunity of reaching their wide audience.The collection will be quintessential Versace, perfect for H&M and Versace fans everywhere.”
In the past, Donatella has declined offers to do a lower-priced collaboration. The Cut reported in 2008 that Donatella told the audience at a New York Times’ TimesTalk series, “"I respect everyone who does [those types of lines]. But the reason I didn't do it is because I work very hard to put the Versace line in the luxury section. I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand." Take a sneak peek at the collection featured in Vogue UK as we anticipate the collection's arrival in November.
After being featured on the Spring 2011 runways, it has become apparent that tassels have become one the hottest summer trends we’ve seen so far. Have you added the tassel touch to your wardrobe yet? If not, don't worry, this trend is here to stay and comes in a wide range of styles and accessorizes almost any item so there's no reason not to give these a try.
These embellishments can be found from belts and accessories to blouses and shoes, and this simple addition instantly can add that classic touch and ‘70s inspired vibe to any outfit. Check out some tassel-featuring outfits below as well as some of the newest items from our site.
Rising fashion star and CFDA winner, Prabal Gurung collaborated with another emerging talent dance-rap artist Rye Rye to launch the collection with the music video titled “New Thing” for the premiere of his 2012 Resort collection. "I have always followed the multitude of fashion films created by other design houses and loved seeing all the different interpretations of the collections, but the idea behind this was to bring other creative minds to the table and inspire our customers as well as the YouTube generation," explains Gurung.
The entire music video focuses on and is driven by the fashion pieces in the video. "Everything from the repeating floral pattern to the LED light inspired by the graphic print on the shorts Rye Rye wears in the opening shot was taken directly from the collection," reveals Guring. "When Rye Rye came in for her first fitting we knew exactly the looks that would complement her and bring the collection to life. The hardest part was editing down the options." Gurung mentions that the collection’s hallmarks—bright pops and hot pink, yellow and green in front of a graphic black and white theme, florals, laser-cut polka dots, ribbon embroidery and hand-burnt sequins were rooted in artistic inspiration. The portraits of artist George Condo and Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama were one of the inspirations behind the video.
Of course, Rye Rye was the perfect choice in my opinion as well. "When I first heard one of Rye Rye's mix-tapes some time back I was immediately taken by how unique and dynamic her music was," says Gurung.
Angelina Jolie never seems to fail at conquering one heroic or wordly task after another. As the gorgeous actress, loving mother and respected humanitarian global leader that she has become, she is the latest star to pose for Louis Vuitton’s “Core Values” ad campaign. The image shown here was taken in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province with Angelina in her own clothes, no makeup and a Louis Vuitton bag hanging off her shoulder.
The “Core Values” ad, set to run for 18 months, will feature other big name celebrity humanitarians such as Bono so keep an eye out for future Louis Vuitton ads. For some reason, it has been noted that the bag over Angie’s shoulder is a discontinued style. Louis Vuitton’s executive president Pietro Beccari told WWD, “We are considering to re-edit it.” Good idea.
Model and actress Devon Aoki and her man, James Bailey have just announced this past weekend that they are the proud parents of a baby boy! The news first got out when Bailey tweeted the good news. The 28-year old model and actress who appeared in “2 Fast 2 Furious” is engaged to James Bailey. The couple had kept quiet about the pregnancy news but are now revealing the new family member. No wonder Devon’s been MIA for a while now! Bailey posted pictures of his and Aoki’s new son. Bailey also tweeted to Devon’s half-brother, “When are you taking this lil rocker nephew on tour?”
To fill you in a bit of background info on Devon, she began modeling at age 13 and even replaced Naomi Campbell’s place as the face of Versace. She has also walked the runway for Chanel Couture. Her half brother, Steve Aoki is a well-known LA-based DJ and her father Hiroaki Aoki, is the founder of the Benihana restaurant chain and former Olympic wrestler.
James also tweeted, “Celebrating the birth of our son and Devon and my anniversary yesterday is more than I could ever ask for. Our family keeps growing.” Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
Is it just me or is the month of June just flying by? Hopefully, you guys haven’t forgotten about Father’s Day coming up in a week—and if it slipped your mind, good thing you read our blog! Take this upcoming day to celebrate and show Dad just how much you care. If you aren’t sure what to get for your wonderful father, don’t worry, that’s what this post is for. Check out some ideas below to help you make this day as special as it should be for your father.
Classy Businessman- Has your dad always had a sense of style that says “boss in charge” all over it? Upgrade his style and show your appreciation with some stylish and functional Father’s Day gifts. Grooming products for men are always a good choice while business wear (think tailored suits, blazers, slacks, button-up shirts) is also a popular choice. If you’re limited with your budget, sleek desktop accessories are also a simple gift—the more personal and customized, the better!
BBQ Man- I’m not sure what it is, but it seems that every true man loves grilling up a storm and serving a thick, juicy slice of BBQ’ed steak on the table. If this sounds like your father, encourage him to continue his hobby with some grilling accessories, BBQ cookbooks (so Mom doesn’t have to do all the preparatory work), or you can pick up some unique BBQ sauces to switch up the flavor from the traditional mix.
Tech Man- Is your dad a techcessory nerd that loves spending hours at electronic’s stores and drags you along so he can have an excuse to be there for hours? If so, you can add to his collection by grabbing some copies of the latest action DVD release or music album. If he’s more of a reader, you can get Dad an e-reader with some reads that he might like, technology and literature in one, it's brilliant. You can also check out portable speakers for his iPod or a wireless charging pad, the list is endless with the new gadgets that are on the market right now!
Sports Man- Whether your dad’s a professional tennis player or an avid Lakers fan, we all know dads LOVE sports. If he plays a specific sport, you can pick up some new toys and accessories for his game or a reuseable water bottle to keep him hydrated. If he’s more of a spectator of the game, you can get some tickets to a local sports event so he can finally go watch his favorite sports team live in action.

Me and Daddy- Keep in mind that as much as he’ll appreciate all your grandiose gifts, what’s most important is spending quality time with him. Plan ahead and take some time out of your day to do something you and Dad can do together next Sunday: father/daughter breakfasts, hiking in the morning, going to Fry’s electronics together (I can already feel his excitement…) Just do something you guys will both enjoy because these precious moments with his kids are priceless to a father.
Share with us your ideas! Which category does your dad fall under?
