One of my favorite power celebrity couples, Victoria and David Beckham welcomed a baby girl on Sunday. David announced his newborn’s name, Harper Seven via Facebook. (7 was David’s soccer jersey number when he played for Manchester United and captained the English National Team.) The fashion designer mom and soccer star dad already have three boys—Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.
"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family," Beckham family spokesperson Jo Milloy said. Apparently, David appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel” in April where he told the host that they first believed it was a boy. He also mentioned that Romeo suggested “Justine Bieber Beckham” as a possible name—good thing they went with Harper. Baby Harper weighed in at 7 lbs. 10 oz.
It seems that the pregnancy hasn’t slowed Victoria down one bit. The fashion mogul has continued working and even launched her Victoria by Victoria Beckham dress collection earlier this week. She joked with Glamour UK that she wouldn't be taking time off once the baby arrived. "Maternity leave -- what's that?...My husband and children will always be my priority. But for me, what I do professionally doesn't feel like a job." Congratulations to the happy family!

Remember that rumor a few months ago about the Kardashians collaboratng on a nail polish line with OPI? Well if this is the first time you’re hearing about it, get ready because it’s happening! But instead of a collaboration with OPI, they are collaborating with OPI’s little siter brand, Nicole by OPI and the line is called Kardashian Kolors.
The Kardashian sisters minus Kim, met with magazine editors yesterday to give everyone a sneak peek at the line. Khloe tweeted, “Wow just had the most amazing lunch for our Nicole by OPI line with fabulous editors of so many glam magazines! #Dreaming”. Of course, the Kardashian sisters had a little fun working on such a project. The names are as ridiculous and silly as they are. Kourtney’s orange-red is called “Kourt is Redy for a Pedi” and Khloe’s steel blue is called “Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam”. We’re not quite sure when the line will be available but as with anything they lay their hands on, we’re pretty sure more news will be coming soon so stay tuned!

People were celebrating this past weekend for a variety of reasons-Canada Day, Fourth of July and Lady Gaga Day? Yes, that’s right Taiwan was so excited for Gaga’s tour that they announced July 3rd as Lady Gaga Day and threw a more than ecstatic celebration. The pop star was celebrated in Taichung by government officials and of her course her fans. A group of Taiwanese school children performed a dance with chants of “Gaga! Gaga!” for the star. The mayor of Taichung, Jason Hu, presented Gaga with a key to the city, along with a painting of her ‘Born This Way’ album cover.
Gaga attended the festivities in a pair of red pants with a matching red animal-print blazer. She topped off this look with half black, half white hair which she’s been seen with as of late. She expressed her graititude for the gifts and celebration and stated, “I will always remember this day.” She performed a free nine-song concert in the city, where approximately 4,000 people attended, many who were dressed in Gaga-inspired outfits. She’ll continue her tour of Asia in Singapore today. As named by Rolling Stone magazine, the "Queen of Pop" is having quite a favorable effect on the Eastern hemisphere and mentioned she will be returning to the island next year for a concert with tickets on general sale.

Love him or hate him, Kanye West is out working on another project and this time, he’s hitting the studio in Paris for a reason other than to record an album. In fact, his newest focus is to design his own fashion line.
According to The Daily Telegraph, West has made Paris his headquarters as he tries to launch a career in fashion. He is working on a high-end line of men’s and women’s clothing that is set to debut as early as September. Now, before you start bashing on him as another celebrity wannabe fashion designer, he actually has some experience in the industry.
He has interned at Fendi, collaborated on a sneaker line with Nike and Louis Vuitton and wrote a fashion column for Complex magazine. West has also been working on another label called Pastelle but announced a couple years ago that it would never be released. Knowing this, you can imagine the excitement and expectations that comes from Kanye fans everywhere when he announced that he is creating a full line on his own terms for both men and women. Would you wear one of Kanye's pieces?

Nicole Richie is expanding the House of Harlow 1960 empire with one of women’s best friends, handbags. The 14-piece collection will range in price from a red, hard-cased crocodile-printed clutch for $150 to a crocodile-printed clutch to $625 for a taupe and ivory burn-out pony hair hobo. These bags are full of fringe details, studs, velvet, jaguar hardware and ponyhair.
“Handbags have always been a part of the equation since we first launched the House of Harlow 1960 brand,” Richie said. “We just needed to make sure all of the components were aligned before setting foot into that category. The collection is quite small in terms of the styles we are launching with. I wanted to make sure that each piece is special and then be able to grow it slowly and organically season after season.”
“When I design, I always try to design pieces that are universal, meaning anyone can wear and carry it. At this stage of my design process, I really try to gather direct feedback from my customers, whether through in-store personal appearances, my Web site, Twitter or Facebook. It really helps me when they provide me with their desires, feedback and comments on what they are looking for, so I can try my best to cater to their needs, yet stay true to the brand’s identity,” Nicole said.
Keep an eye out for these beauties, the handbag collection will be available mid-July at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Shopbop.com.
