| Natalia for YSL Givenchy and Stella McCartney
November 29, 2009 at 1:24 am
|
| How many Russians does it take it represent three top fashion brands? Just one, apparently, given the fact that the beautiful Natalia Vodianova will be the face of Yves St Laurent, Givenchy and Stell McCartney. 
Natalia, 27, is set to go on a roll, come Spring 2010. For one, she’s replacing supermodel Christy Turlington as the face of YSL, while also appearing in Givenchy’s ads for the next season’s campaign. Meanwhile, she was approached by Stella McCartney, who was impressed by the Russian in a September catwalk, to represent the stylish British brand. And all while she continues with her current assignments with Guerlain and posing for Calvin Klein underwear… quite a busy time ahead for the lovely-looking mother of two! Enjoy some more photos of Natalia Vodianova while you’re here:

| Alicia Keys New Jewelry Line
November 29, 2009 at 1:24 am
|
| Grammy-winning R&B star Alicia Keys is stepping up on her music career by launching her own jewelry brand inscribed with inspirational messages. 
Keys, 28, has collaborated with Canadian designer Gisele Theriault in a jewelry line called “The Barber’s Daughters” which features silver and gemstone pieces with quotes and poetry from iconic figures such as Gandhi, Buddha and Shakespeare. Industry sources said that one of the items, a sterling silver cuff, is inscribed with words of wisdom from the singer herself. That’s amazing… come to think of it, everyone, literally everyone has their set of inspiring quotes, so I’m kind of curious what could be Keys’ keys. “There’s a gorgeous cuff, it’s so beautiful, and it says ‘I am a superwoman!’,” said a delighted Keys after launching the collection in New York this week. Apparently for Keys, the progression from putting words with music, to inscribing jewelry, was natural. “As a lyricist I love words and I love things that kind of … hit you so hard to the heart,” Keys said. “I realised that this was another way to reach out to people and to really bring them inspiration in some way. If people tell me how much they love my music because it’s gotten them though a certain time in their life, I felt like this was an extension of music.”
The jewelry and accessories range from necklaces and earrings, to watches, cuffs and bracelets. The prices start from to ,500. “My favourite part about them was not only were they individual, one of a kind, something you would really cherish and hold but the words on them affected me so personally, they uplifted me, it made me feel good, want to hold it and wear it like a mantra,” Keys said. Meanwhile, “The Element of Freedom,” Keys’ new album is set for a December 15 release… though the ‘inspirational doesn’t go on sale until 2010. Enjoy some photos of Alicia Keys here:

| Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Unveil Jewelry Line
November 23, 2009 at 11:19 pm
|
| Celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has teamed up British jewelry brand Asprey to launch a signature jewelry collection. 
 The Hollywood couple has been working for more than a year to produce a snake-inspired collection of gold jewelry and silver accessories called The Protector, said a report in WWD.
The line, which includes fine jeweled bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants, features a snake motif, one that Asprey said Jolie chose for its symbolism as an iconic guardian, particularly over family protection and fertility. Jolie, 34, was inspired a snake ring given to her while she was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh. Since then, the symbol apparently became a family protection icon to the Jolie-Pitts. Prices start at 5 for a silver baby spoon with a curving, serpent-shaped handle. Accessories include silver baby gifts, pendants and gold and diamond rings. The jewelry collection has hit the retailers in Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai. Net proceeds will go to the non-profit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, co-founded by Jolie in 2006 aimed at raising awareness and funds to educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters. “These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place — to just be children,” said Jolie. “Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.” Jewelry design may not be a totally alien arena to Pitt, 45, who has designed items for Italian jewelry brand Damiani in the past.

| Twilight Star Christian Serratos Bares All for Peta
November 23, 2009 at 11:19 pm

| Nineteen-year-old Mexican American star of the new Twilight movie ‘Twilight Saga New Moon’ Chrisitian Serratoas is against cruelty to animals, and to prove her point, is posing nude in Peta’s Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign. 
In the photo for People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), Christian says, “Animals killed for their fur are electrocuted, drowned, beaten and often skinned alive. Please don’t wear fur.” “I’ve always been opposed to slaughtering, eating, wearing carcass(es),” Christian said. “It’s just always seemed gross to me.” Christian is the youngest celebrity to bare all for the organization’s anti-fur campaign.

| Georgia Jagger Gorgeous Enough for Versace
November 15, 2009 at 6:27 pm
|
| Appears as if the trend is towards younger celebrities — or at least the younger wannabe celebrities — representing the older, international brands… if Versace’s picking the 17-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall as its spokesperson any indication. 
Perhaps the Italian fashion house has a point. Donatella Versace has said: "She's smart, a strong personality, beautiful, full of energy… and with that natural high star quality, I adore her! She's perfect for this collection – A real Versace girl." The Versace S/S 2010 women’s ad campaign, shot by photographer Mario Testino in London earlier this month, will start appearing in February, in some of the stylist and lifestyle publications worldwide. Wondering about the ‘toothy’ look? Georgia thinks it adds ‘character’. “A while ago on the street, a guy yelled, 'You could stick a gold through your front teeth.' Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them,” Georgia said. "But you can’t, I’ve tried. Fifty pence coins and two pence coins, yes. But not a pound,” she added. Wow. That makes me wonder if Georgia could have been a better spokesperson for Gap jeans? Enjoy some more photos of Georgia Jagger: | | |  |

| Baby UGG Boot – UGG Erin
November 10, 2009 at 10:41 pm
|
| | Baby UGGs are made in pretty pink UGG boots for girls, striking blue ugg boots for boys, or if you’re not sure yet which you’re having, or want something more neutral, sand-coloured baby ugg boots are also available. Protect your baby from sickness by keeping his or her feet warm at all times in a pair of baby ugg boots that will simply hug the feet with all-round warmth. We all know that babies will kick off most shoes, however quality baby uggys have shoelaces that will ensure the ugg boots stay firmly attached to keep out the cold. We can all generally agree that small scale models of things are cute, or at the very least funny. Miniature poodles, for instance, are incredibly adorable (though you may fight the urge to kick them when they start their yippy bark.) The ipod nano is cute in a delightfully functional way, just as key chains of the Eiffel tower are completely non-functional. So, whether you have kids, want kids or even like kids, you have to acknowledge the cuteness factor of small footwear. Especially UGG Australia footwear. For those of us with big feet, it’s incredible to see any shoe that is smaller than a womans size 7. Imagine how stunningly bizarre to hold a shoe that fits a kids size 1? It’s friggin’ tiny! You could add up three of those and still not have my foot! Add into the equation the lush fuzzy fleece, and we’re looking at the most cuddle-able UGG boot imaginable! |
| Michelle Obama Graces Glamour's December Cover
November 10, 2009 at 10:06 pm
|
| For the first time in Glamour's 70-year history, its putting a First Lady on its cover in its December 2009 issue — Michelle Obama, as one of the magazine’s 12 Women of the Year. 
The magazine is also honoring Obama with a special recognition award for her commitment to mentoring young women in the annual Women of the Year issue, set to hit newsstands on November 10. Tip: It is definitely a collector’s item, so keep at least one copy in mint condition. New Glamour columnist and CBS anchor Katie Couric interviewed Obama on the occasion, where the First Lady shared her point of view on fashion and ‘cuteness.’ Setting your own standards is key to style, said Obama… "People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady; you're representing the nation. So I can't be surprised that people are interested. But I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection."
… and advised not to get carried by the ‘cute’ factor. "Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, Who are you as a person? Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul…When you're dating a man, you should always feel good…You shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't make you completely happy and make you feel whole."
Obama’s outfit on the Glamour cover — the drop-waist, red cocktail dress with an adapted ballskirt and necklace — is apparently from her own closet. However, fashionistas will recall that she wear a 00 dazzling gold sheath by Cuban-born designer Isabel Toledo to the presidential swearing-in ceremony way back in January 2009:

| Watch Your Style — it's Forever
November 10, 2009 at 10:06 pm
|
| Wonder who first said, “Fashions fade, but style is forever.” How true… style is timeless, and it manifests in everything you say or do — or wear. If what some of the classiest Hollywood celebrities and Beverly Hills folks wear, I’ll swear by Michele Watches. Don't take my word for it. It's well known that Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and a host of other ‘timeless’ celebs are all die-hard fans of Michele watches. Anyone who's ever browsed through top-end glossies such as Vogue or Maxim, could not have missed seeing Michele watches featured in them. And for good reason – not many watches can live up to the contemporary lifestyle depicted on Vogue! 
One of the more popular models (pictured above), is the unisex Deco Classic, with a shimmering Mother of Pearl face, and beset with 108 genuine, hand-set diamonds around bezel. Well, it's not just a 'watch', it's a chronograph, which means it features multi-functions related to measuring time, such as individual subdials for telling seconds, 1/10 second and 30-minute, all backed by a sophisticated Swiss quartz movement. And trust me, this watch has gone through some of the toughest tests to arrive at the market place. Care to customize your Michele watch to go with your hair or eye color, or dress or even your mood? This model offers some massive choice in the number and types of 18mm straps – which are interchangeable in minutes. If you do decide to look into Michele watches online or otherwise, be sure you have plenty of time and be ready to get spoilt for choice – you may have to decide from an array of around 300 watches and accessories such as straps and bracelets. Check out some of them here:  |  | | Diamond – yellow gold plated and stainless | Urban mini – stainless steel case |  |  | | Deco classic – stainless steel case | Deco classic – diamond rose gold case | Finally, why Michele watches? Why not any other brand? For one, a Michele watch is the ultimate embodiment of nearly six decades of refinement, in a bid to achieve the ultimate in craftsmanship, styling and quality…. did I forget to say style never came easy? And that it’s forever? |
| The Parkers Get Cozier in London Fog
November 10, 2009 at 10:06 pm
|
| Hollywood star and definitely-not-so-desperate wife Eva Longoria Parker and hubby NBA San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker get together in typical fashion brand London Fog style in its latest holiday marketing campaign. 
Well, as the legend on London Fog’s site says it all… “Weather or not”… the brand seems to go all the way, whether clothes or not. Recall the Nicollette Sheridan-Michael Bolton ad for London Fog? It’s the same philosophy here, too, except Eva is just topless, whereas the yet-to-be-housewife Sheridan posed nude. The top-end accessories line seem bent upon shooting celebrities topless, and covered in stylish trench coats. Not that I’m complaining. Reputed photographer Nino Munoz shot the campaign in Los Angeles, which will appear in top glossies in December. Meanwhile, Longoria Parker said in a statement: "It was fun to work together. London Fog is always classy and beautiful, and we knew we were in good hands for the campaign. “The coats and bags were gorgeous; I am a huge fan of trench coats and all the London Fog trenches were amazing."
Obviously London Fog shared their sentiments. “It was a big love fest,” said Dari Marder of London Fog, which is owned by the Iconix Brand Group. “The creative concept was a romantic intimate moment, so it was a lot of Eva and Tony standing really close and nuzzling,” he added. By the way, this marks the first fashion campaign where Tony and Eva appear together. |
| Megan Fox to (Un)Dress Up for Armani
November 10, 2009 at 10:06 pm
|
| Transformers hottie Megan Fox has just made room for Victoria Beckham to get out of Emporio Armani underwear – cuz Fox has been signed up to model Armani intimates as well as jeans. The buzz is that the 23-year-old once-upon-a-time ‘Hope & Faith’ actress will hitting the high end of the normal Armani payout — which is just around million. The global economy must be recovering — at least in the celebrity/fashion world. Why else would Giorgio Armani be signing up top of the line celebs, like they’re donuts or something? (He signed up Cristiano Ronaldo to pitch Armani men’s underwear and Armani jeans less than a fortnight ago.) I guess I know what you’re thinking… would Fox and Ronaldo appear together in an underwear ad? Far off chance, I’d say, but you never know… Well, back to Fox, who wouldn’t agree that she has a great belly to put a great brand name on? Check out my post on Top 5 Sexiest Celebrity Stomachs in the World, and then you can also see why Megan Fox gets my vote. The new Armani campaign featuring Fox will be launched worldwide in January, says WWD. Until then, check out some photos of Megan Fox here:
