The smell of Couture

Here is yet another celebrity fragrance!  Check out the commercial for Kylie Minogue's new fragrance "Couture".  Aside from the name, it just doesn't seem like it will make it to be another Chanel No. 5.  Sample a spritz the next time you're strolling through the cosmetics section.

Wedding Bells!

US Weekly is reporting that the Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen and football star Tom Brady have gotten married!  It was rumored that the 2 birds were engaged and it looks like things were set in stone on Thursday, February 26th at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, CA.

"The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars."

Isn't Heidi just the greatest?  The German supermodel is now promoting Women's Heart Health in collaboration with Diet Coke.  Nice PR move by Coca-Cola.  10 diamond & ruby red dress charms, designed by Heidi Klum are up for draw on the Diet Coke website as well.  The scene cuts in the 30 second ad seem a little rough and rushed though...

Ciao Valentino

Things aren't looking to good at Valentino.  Since it lost its namesake founder, the fashion house has been sliding downhill.  According to an anonymous source, the company began releasing many of its New York office employees this morning.  The reason being a new restructuring program, which is code for: THE RECESSION IS KILLING US.  If the economy continues to head south, will Valentino soon be closing its doors?

Shopaholic Tunes

Have you seen "Confessions of a Shopaholic" yet?  What a relevant movie for any aspiring socialite!  The plot is what one would expect: light, fabulous and comical.  The soundtrack is possibly the best part of the shopping adventure.  Check out Lady GaGa's track, appropriately titled "Fashion".  She is so amazing -- another great hit!

Kids on drugs?

LOL

Can't get enough of this video.  Kids should not be put on drugs!... but it's probably better than sedation.  Oh well, it's too funny!!  The fact that the dad is filming his son for entertainment is rather disturbing though...

Z Zegna makes a splash at fashion week

Z Zegna showed a surprisingly edgy "neo noir" fall collection on Monday. The line featured masculine, powerful silhouettes, created in uniquely crafted materials.
