Kiera Knightley 2011 Coco Chanel Mademoiselle Campaign.


This week Chanel released its new Coco Chanel Mademoiselle fragrance campaign starring Keira Knightley.

The iconic images were photographed by Mario Testino.


The campaign features a highly anticipated mini movie shot by Joe Wright, who directed Knightley both in Pride and Prejudice and in Atonement.



In the movie, Knightley reprises her role as Coco Chanel, this time dressed in a beige motorcycle suit designed by Karl Lagerfeld, and takes us through the streets of Paris from the Place Vendome to the Place de la Concorde.



The soundtrack to the mini movie is James Brown's "Its A Man's Man's World" soulfully performed by Joss Stone

Here's a little behind the scenes video

Selena Gomez in Emilio Pucci

How gorgeous does Selena Gomez look here???

This was actually from last week before her appearance on Late Night With David Letterman. Wearing a leather and lace Emilio Pucci mini, Gomez looks elegant, chic and very self assured.
While other starlets are perpetually flashing what they've got, pushing the teen boundaries of raunch and risque, Selena always seems to look pulled together and camera ready.
Do you just love her makeup??

She also looks gorgeous here with the ever brilliant Ellen DeGeneres, who calls her out on the whole Justin Bieber thing...
Love you Ellen!!

Too Fabulous To Hide!!

Look at these fabulous new cosmetic bags from Stephanie Johnson!!

Do you just LOVE???

This is the Madrid Collection, now available in nude. I am obsessed.

Stephanie has made a playful nod to the romance and drama of Spanish Flamenco with nylon rosettes in a delicate buff. A gold zipper with a metallic gold tab zipper pull, and a charmingly romantic coral nylon liner make these bags super luxe as well as super gorgeous.

Far too lovely to be kept indoors, I am actually using mine as evening bags!

The smaller Ava bag is just big enough to fit your cell phone, money, breath mints and hot fuchsia lipstick. It will fit in your handbag, but for a night out why bother? It looks so delicious on its own!!

The larger Greta bag is the perfect size to fit everything a girl needs to get super glam.

Either use it to hold all your makeup items, or, use it as a super sexy clutch for evening!
Both bags are a simple zip around clutch style, without compartments.

Also available in super hot pink (also obsessed!) the Madrid bags have caught the eye of beauty editors all over.

Rihanna Covers Vogue's Shape Issue

Annie Liebovitz shot the fabulously hot Rihanna for Vogue Magazine's 10th Shape issue.

Can you even believe that body???

With a face that is perfection and a gazelle like body that just doesn't quit, Rihanna freely expresses herself via an assortment of bold and fun wigs, and a fashion sense that is bold and, well, forward to say the least!
The accompanying article with this pictorial is both engaging and interesting, covering everything from her upcoming role in the $200 million movie Battleship, (which is her first foray into acting), diet and exercise, and a funny insight to her people watching skills.
Read the article, Rihanna Living Out Loud HERE

There is also a behind the scenes video
Don't you just love her accent???

Alessandra Ambrosio for Loewe

Brazilian super-duper model Alessandra Ambrosio is modeling for Spanish label Loewe's Made To Order Collection.

The skirt??? Sensational!!
The collection is driven by leather, fur and feathers, and is designed to be functional, fabulous and high fashion.

Gorgeous don't you think?

Personally I don't like to be draped in slain beasts (although I wear them on my feet...?), but I would die for some of these pieces in faux.
Especially this ensemble, in my all time favorite color!!

You can read more about this collection, and see more images at FashionFame.com or read the article at Style Bistro here

I'm kinda loving the hair and makeup. Thoughts?

Marc Jacobs For Lous Vuitton Fall 2011 Collection

How fantastic is this??
Runway shows can start to look so much the same, especially by the time we get to Paris Fashion Week.
It could be argued that its difficult to come with something completely different than the traditional catwalk.
Unless you happen to be Marc Jacobs, that is!
The Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton Show


Backstage after the show Jacobs told journalists of his inspiration “We were thinking about obsession, fetishism, and we thought about an old hotel, with its chambermaids and the affairs that go on there”.

Easy to spot the subtle touches of eroticism in the sheer blouses, chambermaid-esque dresses, thigh high stockings with high sheen boots and sky high heels.
Love it!

Update Your Look For Spring

Spring is finally here, and after a long cold winter there is no time like the present to update your look.

Here are 5 ways to Update Your Look For Spring

Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Its hard to look bright and alert if your eyes are dragging!
Wake up and enliven your under eye area with skynICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.

10 minutes under the eyes and you look bright and alive, depuffed and hydrated. Magic!

While we're on the subject of bright eyes, nothing draws attention to the eyes quite like a luscious fan of gorgeous lashes!
Paint wonder product LATISSE along your lashline nightly, and watch those lashes grow!!

Round out your eye with a beautifully groomed yet understated eyebrow.
The pale brows seen on the spring/summer 2011 runways are way too pale for most of us, but a constructed,
Bold red lip and soft brow at Gucci, Spring/Summer 2011
defined and well shaped brow will open the eye, and create an alluring dimension to the face.

Go all out on your lips!
If you are scaling back your eye makeup, spring 2011 is all about a gorgeous, bold, exciting lip. Look for a bright, fire engine red, or my favorite, a hot fuchsia.
Fuchsia lips at Fendi, Spring/Summer 2011

The blue undertones found in MAC Something New and Cover Girl Spellbound make teeth look super white, and skin look bright and exciting.


Do away with boring old french manicures, and add a little vibrancy to your finger tips! Go for a bold pink, like OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em
or a coral jelly pink like OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston from their Texas Collection

Delicious Moments In Furs And Feathers



One of my favorite things is the Blogshelf app for ipad.
All my favorites are lined up there, and the list is long, but beyond fabulous!

One of my blog loves taking up prime real estate on my Blogshelf is Frozen Fingertips, a gorgeous study in images that I can scroll through forever.
I wish I could claim finding these next images myself, but they are in fact part of the Frozen Fingertips tumblr.

I think they are delicious moments in (hopefully but not likely faux) furs and feathers.
Enjoy!

Have you ever seen anything more lovely???



 I would love this!
Lips and fur

Megan Fox For Armani Code

Megan Fox's new Armani Code campaign is sexy, sultry and smokin hot!!

Megan Fox has been the face of Armani since 2009, and is the face of their denim and lingerie lines. Now she represents their fragrance "Code" as well.
There's even a cool little commercial. I love the way he says "Room service!!"

Thoughts?
