In case you have never heard of Audrina, well worry not as only those familiar with MTV’s The Hills, which is a reality show, will know about this girl. Come to think of it, we only heard about Audrina when catfights broke on the show and the show gained a much needed publicity. Now that the show is over, one of its casts, Miss Patridge got herself another job as the new face of Bongo jeans.

Audrina Patridge is now the face of Bongo Jeans and the former ‘Hills’ star will appear in the ad campaigns starting autumn. Patridge is excited stating that she has never ventured into something like this before. Patridge was very pleased with the photoshoot with renowned photographer, Tony Duran.

Audrina claims that even though she’s the new face of this face, she loves skinny jeans and boot-cut. To go with the new Bongo jeans, Audrina will choose a pair of little flats or heels and not forgetting, an appropriate top.

For women, we tend to have everything for every situation. For example, we would buy the perfect to wear to work. We would buy the perfect dress for summer. We would buy the perfect shoes for a night out. The same goes for shopping. When women shop, they feel it is important to carry the right accessories including the perfect bag, wearing the perfect shoes etc.

Yves Saint Laurent seemed to have notice this need of women as the brand has taken the pain to make a Large Shopping Tote just for the ladies to bring with them when they go shopping.

We think the bag is not only perfect for shopping but it looks good for other activities to like taking your kids to school and many more that you can think of. It’s a very attractive bag and many have said that they find themselves too hard to not buy it even though it’s not made of leather and doesn’t come cheap.

Creating and doing a charity event is like a trend in Hollywood these days. Don’t get us wrong, not that we are opposed the idea, it seems every celebrity wants to show how much they care for the world and its people or for the environment.
The most recent charity, which was not that much spoken about, was Debbie Gibson’s online charity auction. In case you have never heard of this lady, well she’s the singer of the hit song “Only In My Dreams” (1987).

Debbie Gibson is not alone in this. As a matter of fact, a couple of her celebrities have come forward to offer a helping hand for this auction. The Only In My Jeans auction will have jeans that are signed by her celebrities friends consisting of the Desperate Housewives and Glee casts members, Ryan Seacrest, Rob Thomas, Hilary Duff, Rick Fox, Lance Bass, Chris Angel and many more.

If you fancy or admire Scarlett Johansson then you would be happy to know that D&G has chosen the well-known actress to be the model of their new makeup kit. Apparently, the new makeup kit is inspired by the actress herself. She does look magnificent in these ads and in the picture above.

You must be living under a rock if you have never heard of Scarlett. Scarlett Johansson, affectionately known as ScarJo, happens to be the bad girl in Iron Man 2 and is most notably known for her role in Woody Allen’s Match Point. She started out in classic roles in ancient-based movies like ‘The Girl with the Pearl Earring’ and ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’. Her most recent movie was ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’, ‘He’s just not that into you’ and most recently, ‘Iron Man 2’.

More on the new D&G makeup kit, what D&G wants Scarlett to portray in these campaigns is meant to “capture classic feminine rituals and expose one of the most intimate and personal of feminine moments: a woman applying make up in the privacy of her bedroom or sanctuary.” Very classy indeed. What we see ScarJo use in the campaigns are listed as the eyeshadow quad Petal, the eyeshadow duo Mystery, the eyeliner Nude, the shine lipstick Precious, the lip gloss Innocence, the blush Apricot, and the nail lacquer Petal for the Intimate Sensuality Collection.

Literally if Belle d’Opium were to be translated in English, it would be Good Drug or Marijuana but nevertheless, this is not what Yves Saint Laurent is launching. The famous fashion house from France launched its new fragrance called ‘Belle D’Opium’. The renowned French brand decided to throw a multi-sensorial soiree just for the launch of this fragrance. It must smell phenomenal.

Since it’s YSL and a multi-sensorial soiree, many celebrities didn’t want to miss this night. Those who attended included the famous twin sister, Ashley Olsen, Alexis Bledel, Whitney Port, Tinsley Mortimer, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Mark Hunter “The Cobrasnake.”

Enough of the celebrities, let’s talk more about the fragrance that is set to blow your mind away. YSL’s Belle D’Opium is known as the next generation of YSL’s original Opium fragrance. For now, it’s actress Mélanie Thierry who’s the spokesperson of Belle D’Opium. The perfume is created by Honorine Blanc and Alberto Morillas who are professional perfumers. Yves Saint Laurent’s Belle d’Opium will be out in 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum in September.

This fashion show presented Prada’s ready to wear Spring 2011 collection which saw a re-birth of the three-button suit created by none other than Miuccia Prada. The difference from this collection and other styles was that these were slim-fitted, thus making it appealing to the young men of this generation. Time will tell us how true this will be.

The suits were complemented by ties and shirts and the runway had a look of young men on their way to work. Not only that, these young men sported reflective athletic sunglasses, waist pouches and clunky shoes that have a sneaker sole amalgamated to a rope sole, combined to a wingtip.

Some models also appeared in a work wear of dark denim, wavy sweaters with flamboyant, Lifesaver stripes. The collection showcased culottes, boat-neck sweaters and shirts with dazzlingly colored plackets and collars. This Spring 2011 collection depicted innovative ideas.

Pencil skirt will always remain fashionable year in and year out. It may stand out on its own, is part of a woman’s suit or may be paired with jackets of any length. The length of a pencil skirt depends on the fashion within that year, but most of the time it is a little bit above the knee, on the knee or a little bit below the knee. However any length that is much above the knee would not be considered as a pencil skirt, but rather a mini-skirt. Some pencil skirts also come with slits on the side to facilitate walking.

Many women think that pencil skirt is only for the very slim, well wrong guess. Voluptuous women with curves may feel that the pencil skirt will portrait them in an unflattering way. If the skirt is too tight, it will definitely look like that but a good fitting pencil skirt may accentuate feminine curves without showing any figure flaws. Women with some weight may choose loose clothing to conceal the ‘extras’, however they only succeed in making themselves look ‘big’. Whereas a fitted pencil skirt is more satisfying than a bulkier or looser fitting skirt.

A pencil skirt is quite handy and with the right accessories its look can vary from business to something more chic. And the best is that they can be matched with most types of tops and shoes, especially the black pencil skirt which can be worn to go to a party or to an office just change the tops and the shoes.

The start of fashion can be traced back to the sixteenth century but its real manifestation happened in Europe among the social upper class two centuries later. From one country to another we can see different facets of fashion. In the same way, fashion is different from one person to another. Factors such as social class, profession and age also influence fashion.

In the course of time, it was the television that made fashion known to everyone and people became interested in it. Following on were fashion magazines, the cinema and more recently websites and blogs.

From the sixties to the twenties fashion has seen many changes, actually fashion means change. What was fashionable in the sixties was no longer fashionable in the seventies, however this same style can again become in fashion in the twenties, how? Thanks to our designers who give a new twist to their creations.

They amalgamate the oldies with the modern and come up with a completely new style. This is made possible especially with the new generation who wants to try anything. All in all Fashion is like a rotating ball, new becomes old and old becomes new.

No month is complete without a proper fashion show so with this in mind, we hopped off Milan where Calvin Klein is showcasing their new line of menswear. Renowned designer, Italo Zucchelli, who is touted by many as the design leader of today’s generation, will be showcasing his newly-inspired line for CK.

Zucchelli opted for a different approach to his design this time by going the unconventional way with his cropped clothes 7 hard high-tech finishes. Commenting on his designs, Zucchelli had this to say, “Graphic, clean, strong, New York!”

Basically, these new clothes consist of cropped sweatshirts that tend to show a man’s abdomen that is if he sports a muscular one. We are already imaging these beefy men showing off their huge abdomen to women or men alike. It’s hard to imagine men wearing this provocative outfit on the roads but let’s see as time changes with clothes or the other way around, hard to say!
