The Hunger Games: Capitol Couture Spring Issue Debut!
Two words: Hunger Games. Who's excited? While we try to squelch our eeks of joy and anticipation for the 2nd installment of the film trilogy, the "Capitol Couture" Tumblr page has kept us busy in the world of Hunger Games fashion!
This week, the production company debuted it's second issue for spring, titled "Chroma Nouveau," featuring non other then the notorious Effie Trinket.
After we gasp, and are finally able to get past the face that that really is Elizabeth Banks under that glamorous wig and fashion, we're able to take in the full creative scope of the production. "Heralding a time in the Capitol when color blooms anew, Chroma Nouveau reveals a victorious celebration of Capitol life through fashion and culture" announces the site.
With designs created by Juun J, Nicholas K, and Saverio, these looks are Capitol avant-guard at it's finest.
So what do you think of the fashion? The Hunger Games: Catching Fire doesn't come out until November 22, but at least we've got some fashion pics to tide us over!

Look We Love: Vintage + Maxi
We are currently in a transitional weather period as May gives way to June, and Spring temperatures begin to make the shift to sunny skies and warmer days. And while there may be some spots where the temps are already soaring, for most of us, we're in a perfect balance of warmth mixed with cool breezes.
That's what makes this look a personal favorite. We love transitional fashion, and the mix of a vintage pinstriped menswear shirt, tied over a long maxi skirt, is not only effortlessly chic, but perfect for the weather shifts.
The look is simple to pull off. Start with a classic button down, roll the sleeves up to create an easy breezy summer feel, and nip it in a the waist with a simple tied bow. That keeps the more squared off shirt from making you look masculine by accentuating your feminine frame.
Then add a gorgeous, flowing maxi skirt. We love the royal blue hue on this one, but any color that suits your fancy is perfect. You can even experiment with mixing prints in your skirt to your shirt. We love mixing soft florals with striped shirts, so maybe give that a shot.
Lastly, the shoes! This is where you can really affect the overall feel of the look. If you go with flat sandals you have a much more casual look and feel. Adding flat shoes takes the casual element even further. But if you want to glam up the look, and make it versatile for more dressy occasions, ad some gorgeous nude pumps to elevate your glam factor and add some feminine sexy-kitty touches while keeping it conservative!
What do you think of the look?

Michael Douglas & Matt Damon: Lovers In Glitter Suits in "Behind the Candelabra"!
Ok ok, I'll admit... I was first drawn to this topic simply because my cat is named Michael Douglas! But after seeing the gliz and surprisingly wonderful glam that came from Michael Douglas' (the actor) performance as Liberace in "Behind the Candelabra" I really couldn't resist!
The HBO film debuted this past weekend, and there's another surprise: Matt Damon was cast to play Michael Douglas' lover, Scott Thorson, in the film, a pairing we thought was just fabulous! And let's not forget the delicious Rob Lowe who played the plastic surgeon, Dr. Jack Startz.
The film was intense, and had us glued to our seats, shouting out, "I can't believe this!" Yes, Liberace's life was stellar and shocking in many ways.... you'd just have to see the film to know what I'm talking about. And seriously, I've never seen Michael Douglas in anything other than a suit, buying and selling stocks with slicked back hair... so this was truly transformative!
Matt Damon said in an interview with HBO that "This waS the first movie I ever enjoyed wardrobe fittings on... I did probably eight, ten wardrobe fittings? And we really got into it." He goes on to tell how the wardrobe was unlike anything he'd ever put on, and the energy it brought to the acting really showed.
So what do you think of the fashion transformation? Will you watch the film?

Cleopatra's Gorgeous 50th Anniversary
The film. The face. The fashion. Timeless.
50th glamorous years after stealing the hearts of audiences around the world, "Cleopatra" reigns supreme. If you haven't seen the film.... stop reading this and go watch it. There are really no words to describe the stunning set and costume design work. The detail, unparalleled.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Academy Award-winning movie, starring none other than Elizabeth Taylor, the film has been restored and just screened at the Cannes Film Festival as an official selection.
The world premiere screening brought out celebrities in droves, and was hosted by Jessica Chastain, who wore one of Liz's coveted 52 karat sapphire necklaces. And in true Elizabeth fashion, following the viewing, a reception was held displaying some of Ms. Taylor's personal jewelry collection and an auction with proceeds benefitting her charity, The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
Take a look at some stills from this breathtaking film to celebrate!
