Designers Create “Fashion Against AIDS”
December 22, 2007 | 1 Comment
H&M is partnering with “Designers Against AIDS” and several musicians and artists including Rihanna, Good Charlotte, Rufus Wainwright, Ziggy Marley, Jade Jagger and Timbaland. Together, they are planning on creating a “cotton collection” named “Fashion Against AIDS” for girls and guys. The collection will be in stores in February of 2008.
Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from this collection will be going towards the prevention of HIV/AIDS around the world. The product also aims to raise awareness of the AIDS problem.
The collection will have t-shirts, tank tops, and hooded sweaters made of organic cotton. The garments feature an original print, varying from a subtle couple under a red umbrella to a bold, “Use a Condom,” and the name of the designer is on the neckline. Prices vary from $12.90 to $34.50.
Lauren Conrad Plans on Holding Fashion Show
December 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The Hills star Lauren Conrad spoke to the Chicago Sun Times about the possibility of her holding a fashion show once she returns from Paris. She says there’s about a 99 percent chance of her doing the fashion show. She doesn’t expect Paris to change her fashion much - she says she’ll always design for herself - and that her style’s constantly changing.
When asked who she thinks has the best style in Hollywood, she says she likes Ashley Olsen. “I love the Olsen twin style. They really will try everything. These girls don’t follow a trend. They set their own trends. Anyone can open a magazine and dress the way they tell you to dress. It takes time to create your own style and the Olsens are brave and take risks.”
Although I completely disagree with her about the Olsen twins, she was also asked if she was a shoe girl, and Lauren responded, “I’m a huge shoes girl. I bought this big bookshelf that I installed on the wall in my bedroom. I keep all my good shoes on it. You almost display the shoes that way. Shoes are like art to me. They need to be displayed.”
No girl who loves shoes that much can be all bad.
Scarlett Johansson in Elle Belgium
December 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Scarlett Johansson made an appearance in Elle Belgium this month (December 2007), and she’s looking really sexy in her gorgeous pictures. Not only is she flaunting her cleavage, but she looks as stylish and beautiful as ever. The photo shoot has pictures of her from all angles: playful and fun, sexy, and just getting ready. Maybe they’ll make a 2009 Calendar using some of these pics - you know, since they obviously won’t be in the 2008 Calendar.
Check out the pics, and if you know Dutch, you’ll actually be able to read the magazine article, which must be nice. I have to admit, I do love her style. Evidently, Elle does, too. Either way, enjoy the pics!
Fashion Accessory: Really Long Necklaces
December 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment
You know those long necklaces worn by stars like Cate Blanchett - and by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, “Carrie Bradshaw”, in Sex and the City? Well, now they’re easirer for the rest of us to get our hands on. Banana Republic has a bunch of the coolest long necklaces, and they’re all on sale for under $50.
I love long necklaces because they can be worn in several different ways, and each way has a slightly different look.
Banana Republic has the pendant necklaces, like what Cate Blanchett’s wearing, for between $28 to $50. Those are nice, but I prefer the long ones, like what the model is wearing, which are between $38 and $48.
These can be worn long, like the model has it, or can be wrapped around your neck a couple of times - creating different looks and feels for each look. How cool is that?
What Should Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears Wear?
December 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Top maternity fashion designer Liz Lange offers some fashion tips for Jamie Lynn Spears as she embarks into the world of covering baby bumps. Of course, she’s only 12 weeks along, so she’s not showing yet, but she will be soon enough. Since Jamie Lynn is in the public eye, wearing overlarge clothing isn’t exactly going to work.
And Liz says she doesn’t think big sister Britney Spear’s look will be great for her. (Britney wore little dresses and cowboy boots.) “She’s a young girl, so I would want to keep her look innocent… I think little cute dresses and jeans with tight-fitting tee shirts… she’s 16, and I would like to see her look her age.”
Eva Mendes on Stripping Down For PETA
December 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Eva Mendes’ PETA campaign poster - with her on it, naked, - is being unveiled this afternoon in Los Angeles on Robertson Boulevard, down the street from Ivy Restaurant.
Eva says it all started when she forgot warm clothes for a New York premiere and ended up borrowing a fur coat. PETA sent her a letter, and she decided not to do it again. Then, a short time ago, she and her filmmaker boyfriend, got a 70-pound Belgian Malinois who is the guard dog at her house. Then, she realized that she couldn’t wear her dog.
It was sometime after that that Mendes agreed to pose (naked) for PETA with the tagline “Fur? I’d rather go naked.”
“It’s very tasteful,” said Mendes. “It’s all in fun. It’s got a flirtatious, fun spirit about it. It’s not like come hither or anything like that.” She adds that she’s not out to change people’s minds, she just wants them to be aware of the issue.
Scarlett Johansson 2008 Calendar
December 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
How would you like Scarlett Johansson marking off the days this calendar year? You can do it, because Scarlett is now officially a calendar girl! Scarlett became famous through movies like The Horse Whisperer and Ghost World.
I’m pretty sure this is every guy’s dream come true, and for the girls — well, she is pretty, isn’t she? And now anyone can have the stunning bachelorette in plain view.
The pictures, which aren’t new (but still beautiful) range from fairly tame and modest to very risqué. My favorites, February and October are above. You can buy the calendar (about $15) or you can go here to look at the other pics.
Kate Moss Steps Out In Style
December 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
Kate Moss isn’t exactly known for her great sense of style, mostly because she usually lacks it (until recently), but she managed to pull it off this time: style and beauty. And she didn’t even trip!
Note her long black tights, with the black wrap skirt. Not everyone can pull off such a high slit, but Kate sure can! And she looks reasonable because of the tights beneath. I think my favorite part is the reddish-orange shirt that peeks through the jacket she’s wearing and adds color to an otherwise very dull outfit. It makes her pop.
The only thing I don’t like is her shoes. I just don’t like black peep-toed heels over black tights. It looks fine, I guess, but another color would be a million times better.
For those at home, this look is easy to imitate - even if you don’t show off all the leg. Just find a color that makes you pop!
Beyonce promotes Giorgio Armani’s Diamonds
December 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
Known for her bling, Beyonce was the obvious person to flaunt Emporio Armani’s Diamonds. Not actual diamonds. His new fragrance, Diamonds. Evidently, Giorgio Armani called her up and flew her to Italy in order to promote his latest fragrance, for which she’s the spokesperson.
Beyonce, ever her stylish self, wore a beautiful red satin dress to the promotion, along with tons of bling (actual diamonds?) on her fingers, wrists and ears to the promotion.
If you’re wondering what diamonds smell like, I can’t help you, but the scent Diamonds is a combination of lychee, raspberry, cedar wood, vanilla and rose. Like the rose in his scent, Armani wanted someone to represent the scent who was feminine, but also strong, confident and sexy.
Step Out In Hayden Panettiere’s Style

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is quickly rising to stardom. And even though she’s just starting out, she’s already developed her own sense of style - and it’s fairly easy for the rest of us to imitate.
The young star recently designed her own handbag - it’s beautiful and red, and she’s going about carrying an incredibly fashionable black clutch, and wearing and amazing tan trench coat.
Her black patent leather clutch is a Tucker Paisley Emma Clutch, and is available at www.tuckerpaisley.com for only $215 in a wide variety of colors.
