It's been confirmed that Katie Holmes is the new face of Miu Miu's Spring/ Summer 2009 campaign. But Katie won't be appearing on Billboards and magazine pages in Miu Miu ads until the beginning of 2009.

Got $4.7 million to spare? Well, if you like diamonds and got the cash, this new Victoria's Secret bra is exactly what you need!
The Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra is the latest extravagant piece from Victoria's Secret and it's included in the company's holiday catalog for this year!
If you're wondering what makes it so expensive, well it's made up of more than 3,900 gems including black diamonds, white diamonds and rubies. In addition to two giant black diamonds (tear-drop shaped) - weighing more than 100 carats in total!

What do you think about a man wearing his girlfriend’s swimsuit? If there was anyone who could pull off this kind of prank, it’s none other than Jim Carrey!
You know, if I didn’t see the photos myself I won’t believe it! But here, take a good look at these photos. Well, it’s yours to judge, who wore the black halter swimsuit so much better? Jim or Jenny?

It all started when the couple was just going for a leisurely stroll in Malibu during the fourth of July when the paparazzi kept hounding them. Well, I guess Jim couldn’t stop his irrepressible sense of humor and gave the paparazzi something to snap away at!

Aside from the glitter and glamor at Cannes Film Festival, some celebrities also got involved in a humanitarian activities. A charity auction took place during the festival and one of our favorite stars, Madonna, auctioned off her Chanel bag and its contents!
I’m intrigued to know what Madonna usually carries with her.
When Madonna emptied her purse the contents revealed were lip gloss, hair clips, skin blotting tissues, and a magnifying mirror. I wonder what she used that mirror for?!

Anyway, during the bidding she jokingly chided the crowd for their low bids saying “This lip gloss touched my lips”.
Her Chanel bag including the contents fetched $472,000. Not bad I think.

After the great Valentino retired from the fashion scene in January you probably wondered who will fill his shoes. Now you don’t have to wonder anymore. Last night Alessandra Facchinetti presented her first collection for the brand. It won’t be an understatement to say that she has big shoes to fill as the company’s designer and all the world is watching out how she’ll get on. At the show held on Thursday, her dresses had affirmative reviews. She made her own designs yet considering designs already established by Valentino himself.

Rihanna looked stunning at the red carpet of a pre-Grammy party.
Her hair sleek and sexy ... her choice of gown smashing!
What do you think of her Pharaoh-style dress? Hot or Not?

Even at this modern day and age the influence of Coco Chanel is still powerful. The creations she had made will be forever recognized in the fashion industry. Aside from being seen in the clothes, accessories and fragrance, a good old way of making an impression or making people aware of each definitive fashion line is through monuments. This is exactly what Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel did. In the haute couture show in the Grand Palais last Tuesday no one can ignore the gigantic Chanel jacket built in the background of the catwalk. It was made of wood and painted to appear like concrete. This 75-foot jacket had a flap where the models emerged to show off an infinite variety of Chanel clothing.

Rihanna is always brave in what she wears and what trends to follow.
Yesterday at the opening of an H&M store on 5th Avenue in New York, she was sporting a cool black outfit and a new punky hair do!

What do you think of Rihanna's short bob? Hot or Not?

There is no doubt that Valentino is one the great icons in the fashion industry. His contributions in the fashion industry are endless and even now in his 45 years in the industry it is still one of the most recognized. A documentary of his interesting and highly successful career will be coming to the big screen. The documentary is entitled “Valentino: The Last Emperor.” This special is directed by Vanity Fair special correspondent Matt Tyrnauer. If you are an avid Valentino fan you’d have to watch out for this documentary since it will not only include his work but also his relationships and the people he had come across in his 45 years in the business. This will really be an encompassing film because Matt Tyrnauer spent about 2 years collecting the videos that will truly show the man and his craft.

I like Anne Hathaway, from the time I saw her movie Princess Diaries up to Devil Wears Prada. Her simple and subtle sophistication is another thing that I like about her. So it is not surprising that she’s chosen to be French cosmetics giant Lancome’s new face. She will be the face of the yet-unrevealed Lancome fragrance. The fragrance is expected to be launched in September 2008 so we can expect Anne Hathaway gracing various prints and TV advertisements before that time.

It’s Christmas holidays again! Festive spirit’s in the air and for sure there will be lots of parties this coming holiday. Maybe even as I write, some are already holding some pre-holiday gatherings. And even though I am not very keen about parties, I make holidays like Christmas an exception. This is the best time to make memories. Pictures are the usual memento for these events, so what could you do to make your party not so ordinary? Well, making your guests sign on the Signature Bowl using the Sterling Silver Scribe from Steuben Glass would make it more memorable. Then for more there’s also the festive Signature Beakers to let them sign on.

When I have time I also like to sketch dress designs… I’m not good at all in sketching, I just do it for fun. And it’s nice to see the outcome of my efforts. I’m sure there are some of you out there who do the same. So I’d like to share with you this new site that lets you explore further on this hobby of yours. StyleShake lets you take your ability further by creating real dress designs and fitting them on virtual mannequins to see their effect.

The site contains a catalog of the different styles for the neckline, bodice cut, color, sleeves, waist panel and sleeves. But first things first, you need to register and be a member in order to be able to create a design and store it in your own profile. Being a member also allows you to browse other users’ designs, rate them or leave comments.

The brand Viktor & Rolf would never be associated with the ordinary. Nope, definitely not as evident in their design collections and fashion shows. The Viktor & Rolf characteristics when combined with another excellent product will certainly be a winner. Famed French champagne brand Piper-Heidsieck seems to think so too when they asked the designing duo to make a unique design for the limited edition of Rose Sauvage. Viktor and Rolf did not disappoint because the resulting product is something that you can’t ignore! If you haven’t seen champagne with an inverted design, now you can with the limited edition Piper-Heidsieck Rose Sauvage.

Stuffed toys, flowers, chocolates…all of these are typical birthday presents right? The recipient maybe glad to receive it, but how about making him or her really joyous by giving something that’s really unique like the custom dolls! This would be a great gift especially for someone who has a little or maybe a lot of narcissistic streak in him or her. That’s right, because this custom doll from Tiny Pocket People can be created in your own image. By using uploaded digital pictures a miniature version of you can be created! I think that is kind of wonderful, don’t you think so?
