The line brings a fun twist to Chanel Handbags as the bags are reversible. And straying from the expected, the Coco Cocoon line sports puffy leather.

MADONNA FOR LOUIS VUITTON S/S 09 AD CAMPAIGN

2009-01-20T20:22:00.000-08:00

AFTER attending one of the Queen of Pop’s concerts in Paris, inspiration struck LV’s creative director Marc Jacobs for the label’s next fashion advertising campaign. The Material girl was shot for LV's Spring/Summer 09 collection in a French bistro by celebrity photographer Steve Meisel, a long-term collaborator of the superstar's. The rumor about Madonna raking in $10 million for the campaign? “It’s very far away from that,” Marc assured.

That's why she wore this Louis Vuitton number to the Gucci/Unicef Tattoo Heart Collection party. She's all about the kids not the birds.

She is so Paris xx

THE LOOK THAT NEVER GOES OUTTA STYLE

2009-01-12T16:45:00.000-08:00

YOU can always depend on those Blue Jeans & White Dress Shirts. Any day of the week, occasion & season, bust out the two staple pieces everyone should have in their wardrobe. I remember wearing my blackest black jeans & a crisp white dress shirt to a funeral. Who says it can't feel casual yet look chic. To be able to pull a look like that off you must pair your jeans & white tops with the right accessories whether it be a scarf, bold necklace, the right boots, a blazer etc. Dress-up or down the outfit depending on the occasion. It's a little bit of the "Tromp L'oeil" theory when you use different colored denim as well as weight of the jean to your advantage. Carolina Herrera made the white dress shirt what it is today so sport it in all different ways that suit your style. Below are some examples of how to wear this look. If you need me to elaborate on this section please make a comment or email me.

It's all about the Jeans & White Dress Shirts all year long. Always have every color & style denim as possible, as well as at least two white dress shirts in your closet, if not more.

General Rules: Four Jeans

One Slim Cut - for a cleaner look

One Relaxed Fit - for those laid back days

One Ankle Length - for flats

One Longer Pair - for high heels

Model: Daria Werbowy

CITIZENS OF HUMNAITY

2008-12-28T14:06:00.000-08:00

As a stylist & fashion designer my advice about jeans is strict-SPLURGE. If you're going to invest in any garment in your closet it would be JEANSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

THE best jeans I've tried on so far...seriously they changed the way I dress & feel. I feel lucky to have found this incredible brand, it was the first time I decided to splurge on jeans & I'll never go back. You got a big ass, chunky thighs or skinny as a toothpick & want a cute booty, try a pair of Citizens & you'll never want to take them off. I swear by my Citizens of Humanity.

GET the length just right...but how?

When trying on any pants you are going to get hemmed, stand in front of the mirror on your tiptoes & then with flat feet, as you are likely to be wearing them with high heels & trainers, you need to be able to see if they look good with both. With heels, the bottom of your jeans should just skim your toes, as that will give a good couple of inches. Obviously if you wear your newly hemmed jeans with flats they will drag a bit...so if you don't want this to happen buy two pairs. Always get a EUROHEM, this allows the jeans to have the original bottoms which completes the look. Don't go cheap when it comes to jeans, because they last forever.

JEROME Dahan and Michael Glasser, the creators of Seven Jeans, started a new line in 2003 "citizens of humanity". The two are inspired by all things vintage, the glamour of St. Tropez and the relaxed California lifestyle. Their vision is to create timeless styles consistant in quality, design and detail. They took the amazing fit we've come to expect from the two, and added a dramatic new edge. Citizens of Humanity offers a clean approach to denim. Each style of Citizens is represented with the signature "h" but with a slight twist on the logo depending on the cut on the jean. Perhaps the most exciting part of Michael and Jerome's line has nothing to do with the jeans themselves. Dahan and Glasser will give a portion of all sales to Conservation International, truly representing the "Citizens of Humanity".

VERSACE COLLAGE INSPIRED DRESSES

2008-12-17T19:54:00.000-08:00

THIS is why I'm obsessed with fashion, Versace throws this outta no where in her A/W 2008 collection doing her brother proud. Of course The Models wearing these to me collage inspired pieces are the best in the biz. I first saw these in the Verscae ads, they completely caught me off guard-they are so uniquely beautiful. The dresses themselves are nicely structred & the collage detailing is magnificent. Something Carrie would wear no doubt, & if you don't know who Carrie is, you better find out before you visit my blog again.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Victoria's Secret's angels have descended upon Miami Beach.

SINGER Usher kicked off the Victoria's Secret show Saturday, which featured 35 supermodels, some wearing angel wings. Models including Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima strutted down the runway at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Miami Beach during the show, which coincided with the opulent reopening of the hotel.

"THE theme of the show is a return to glamour," said company CEO Sharen Turney. "Victoria's Secret is about sexy and the new sexy is glamorous for this season."

THE catwalk glittered and two silver palm trees adorned the stage. Models showed 68 outfits, including the $5 million Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra worn by Lima and designed by jeweler Martin Katz. It is decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies, and will be for sale in the company's catalog, Katz said.

TATTOO HEART COLLECTION

2008-11-19T20:58:00.000-08:00

BACK in July Rihanna revealed that she would be collaborating with both UNICEF and Gucci to help children around the world. At the time Rihanna said, "It's an honor to represent Gucci," and now the ads have finally been revealed.

FOLLOWING the lighting ceremony, Giannini and Rihanna will host a private cocktail party in Gucci's 5th Avenue flagship store to celebrate the launch of the white Heart Tattoo Collection - a wide range of accessories emblazoned with a stylized heart motif, from which 25 per cent of sales in Gucci stores in over 20 countries will be donated to UNICEF from November 19 2008 to January 31 2009.

FOR its fourth annual campaign to benefit UNICEF, Gucci has launched a special white version of its Tattoo Heart Collection. Featuring a stylized illustrated heart tattoo design decorated with the iconic Gucci symbols - the horse bit and the web - this year, the product range has been expanded to include signature, as well as new, handbag styles in a variety of materials.
