Rumors and pictures have been swirling around the web for a week or so of Lady Gaga in a pretty pale purple Versace dress. The picture is gorgeous and the rumors are true. The Versace camp confirmed that the 27 year mega star is the face of their Spring 2014 ad campaign. The pictures released so far reveal a fresh-faced lady gaga with long blonde hair- a look very reminiscent of a young Donatella Versace. The ads will begin appearing in magazines in January of next year.
YES you read that right! My favorite Brooklyn jewelry store has hooked up with Glamour magazine- offering a special on a ring set featured in the magazine! If you don’t know about Catbird- they pretty much put midi rings on the map and make the cutest sparkliest, daintiest jewelry! The 3 rings included in this special price are solid gold and super dainty. The rings are regularly priced at $44 each, so this deal will save you $33 bucks! Check it out HERE! Look around the site if you DARE!!!!!!!!
Yeah….this picture pretty much sums it up. FIERCE!
This image is of the gorgeous Candice Swanepoel is from the June 2013 issue of Vogue Australia and the entire shoot was HOT!
The 47-year-old project runway judge/author/fashion journalist was promoted from Fashion Director to Creative Director of Marie Claire magazine! Congrats!!!!!!!! This is pretty big news in the fashion world but comes as no surprise. Project runway lovers have no fear, Garcia will still appear as a judge on the show.
Grace Coddington is one of the original players in this fashion game, fashionistas all over the world admire and respect the style icon and are anticipating the upcoming release of her memoir Grace: A Memoir . If you’re expecting a juicy tell all, you will be disappointed. “I’m not telling secret stories” Coddington said “not writing ugly things to get back at anyone. This book’s not gossipy”. The 71-year-old creative director of American Vogue took the high road on this one choosing to keep the gist of the book quite positive and that is very refreshing in such a cut throat industry. The book will be based from her lifelong diaries and will include a few of her own hand drawn illustrations as well. Set for release on November 20th 2012 , the book is available at Amazon.

Meet Robyn Lawley, a gorgeous 6’2″ Australian beauty who is taking the modeling world by storm. Lawley has been featured in countless magazines including Elle and Vogue and made history becoming the first plus sized model to pose for Ralph Lauren. The 23-year-old was an instant inspiration for girls around the world when she was featured on last years July cover of Vogue Italia with fellow plus sized models Tara Lynn and Candice Huffine. Lawley was also recently named the new face of UK lingerie brand Boux Avenue. …..If you’re still looking for the “plus sized” model , the pictures below are correct, like buxom beauties who came before her i.e. Crystal Renn and Marilyn Monroe, Lawley is equivalent to an american size 12 which is quite a common size but considered plus sized in the modeling world. Lawley though doesn’t think of herself as “plus-sized”, she prefers to use the term “normal sized” and is an activist supporting healthy body image, particularly for young girls with low self-esteem, and also has a food blog called Robyn Lawley Eats. Bravo to beauty in all forms.

Fall 2012 ad campaigns have arrived! Twice a year(Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter) our favorite fashion houses sum up their collections and ideas with images that are targeted to fashionistas around the world. I usually have a favorite or two but not this time, it was actually a chore narrowing it down to my top five! I think you’ll agree that these are some amazing images…….
Louis Vuitton: Love the enchanting 1920’s “Louis Vuitton express” feel. Shot by Steven Meisel.
Jean Paul Gaultier: Karlie Kloss looks gorgeous in these street inspired ads complete with old scaffolding and graffiti in the background. Shot by Willy Vandeperre.
Vera Wang: Simply beautiful, these ethereal ads literally look like a dream. Shot by Carter Smith.
Edun: I love the creative images of the models as well as the use of a beautiful white owl and butterflies which are all indigenous to Africa where the brand produces most of it’s clothing, supporting local factories. This is the first ever campaign for the brand. Shot by Ryan McGinley.
Mulberry: My absolute favorite! The whimsical ‘where the wild things are’ themed ads are perfection. Shot by Tim Walker.
okay okay I have one more, lets call it the honorable mention……
H&M: I love how simple yet stunning this campaign is, featuring Lana Del Ray the retro vibe is in full swing. Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde.
Kerry Washington goes glam in a vintage inspired editorial for Vogue Italia’s July issue. The shoot included poodles, vintage clothes and shag carpets! The actress looked nothing less than perfect in the shoot which was very reminiscent of Jackie O and 1960’s Diana Ross, LOVE IT!
