Lately, it seems that we see Blake Lively everywhere. The actress was spotted hanging out and hugging Leonardo DiCaprio. Then there are nude photos spreading on the Internet of a woman looking very much like Blake, yet she told us they are fake. And the actress also got a blockbuster this summer called ‘Green Lantern’ with Ryan Reynolds, a contract with Chanel mentioned above, and she became the cover girl of several renowned magazines, with the one for Glamour’s July 2011 issue as the latest.

The girl just looks amazing wearing a Michael Kors tunic with the dreamy blonde locks. Still, about becoming new ambassador of Chanel, Blake told the magazine that it was such an honor to her.

And when asked about her strong, breakout performance in the movie ‘The Town’, the actress said that those darker roles actually reflect the real Blake, and she laughed, “That’s what you don’t know!” And then Blake explained, “No, I’m drawn to those roles because (they’re so) rare, especially for someone my age. Women in film are often the prizes for the men and nowhere near as layered or complex as the men get to be. My character in The Town was written for a 37-year-old. I had to fight for that role. But also, I’m not this super-tortured soul, so it’s fun to be able to go there.”

However, apart from acting, the girl also does pretty well in styling and cooking. In fact she is becoming an style icon and the inspiration for girls around the globe because of the unique styles she boasts, which she considers as being ‘moody’. Blake’s mother modeled and made clothes, so she always had such an appreciation for designs. “And then Gossip Girl completely blew open the door to fashion for me,” said Blake. She had to go to fashion shows and asked her publicist whether she could buy a certain item, and would take it after getting a YES. Blake regarded this as one of her favorite hobbies.

Blake also told readers about her love for simple styling on hair and makeup, because to make everything easy is her own recipe and because as a mannequin for clothes, it’s not OK to do anything too distracting. And you may find it unbelievable but the famous actress told that she feels shy when people are fussing on her.

As for cooking, Blake expressed the thrill of discovering a new sauce or spice and says that is crazy. She once wanted a sauce from New Orleans, the FDA didn’t approve the delivery. Then Blake even asked the restaurant to put the sauce into a teddy bear and send it to her. But she finally got turned down by the restaurant saying that they are not the drug cartel.

Here’s absolutely great news for Hello Kitty fans. As the most renowned cat ever, Hello Kitty, born in 1974, now gets precious in the latest limited Swarovski + Hello Kitty Collection. This new set will begin to sparkle at Swarovski’s shops in August, 2011. Swarovski, the expert on crystals, again uses those dazzling stones to adorn the necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings, and some other accessories.

“As a fan from day one,” Nathalie Colin, Swarovski Artistic Director, perfectly explains how they got that idea, “I saw an obvious connection between the magical, sparkle of crystal and the bright, playful world of Hello Kitty”.

Hello Kitty without doubt has long been loved by numerous people all over the world, and we’ve certainly seen lots of great designs as results of the previous collaborations of the cat and those fashion houses. This time the Japanese company Sanrio and Swarovski upgrade the kitty’s look in a sparkling limited collection to be released in August this year. This gorgeous line will then make its grand debut in some of Swarovski’s 1,900 stores, completing Swarovski’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection.

The oh-so-adorable kitty, together with it well-known ear bow, is featured on lots of different things, and in this collection by Swarovski you can also expect things like apples, flowers, bows, and hearts. Every single detail and each of the exclusive crystals applied with special techniques are definitely enchanting. And one item that has wowed so many ladies is the Swarovski’s classic “Power” bag in clear Crystal Mesh and Kitty’s face made in white leather with black, yellow and pink crystals.

There are some rings in this collection, also super elegant, lovely and sweet. One is in fact a set of three rings which are adorned with Hello Kitty’s face, bow, apple, and a little heart, yet they can be worn together or individually. The second boasts the Kitty’s face with a bow over her left ear.

Of course the other playful stuff also wins lots of love, like the bracelets with Hello Kitty’s face on a pink crystal pearl bracelet with a colored bow. Then let’s look at the seven necklaces and pendants that too come with breathtaking charm. Made from extremely fine materials with superb techniques, these pieces of artwork are simply irresistible.

This collection was first introduced in the spring of 2009, the Chronomat 01 was the first Breitling watch to house Caliber 01, a chronograph movement entirely developed and produced in the brand’s workshops. As the leading model in the Breitling collections, this instrument features the powerful character of its case, its bezel engraved with original numerals, and its distinctive combination of strength and elegance. The watch is available in a few different versions, it has established itself as the new benchmark in the field of mechanical chronographs – and indeed as the ultimate chronograph.

For those fans who collect rare and exclusive timepieces, Breitling is now offering this iconic model in a limited edition of 2,000 in steel and 200 in rose gold, all bearing the individual number engraved at 9 o’clock on the case middle. Each of them is fabulously crafted. The strong and unique design of the case, bezel and bracelet is highlighted by subtle contrasted finishing – satin-brushed on the top and polished on the sides. The black dial is adorned with applied hour-markers. Different from the standard Chronomat 01 models which are equipped with solid steel or gold casebacks, this new Breitling Chronomat 01 is distinguished by a transparent sapphire crystal caseback providing optimal views of the in-house made chronograph movement. An exceptional glimpse of this high-performance motor boasting a column-wheel, an entirely original architectural design, and assembled according to a revolutionary industrial process.

It will be an exciting thing to most fans to see what Fendi has got for the coming year of 2011. For a Roman house, the most Roman of references: La Dolce Vita – the movie as well as the state of mind – gave Fendi’s pre-fall collection its luxurious glamour. As befits a transitional season, though, this was glamour of a beautifully easygoing kind. Anita Ekberg would find something here to wear, all right—but it might be jeans.

Chunky knits, in jewel tones like emerald and sapphire, appeared in the form of skirts and sweaters, and most hemlines hit at the knee or below. The waist was emphasized in high skirts and nipped-in dresses worn with belts. And the palette, favoring cool blues—sapphire, cerulean, cobalt, and sky—was light without heat. (Though one is honor-bound to mention the spangled harem pants, for all the glitter effect you could want.)

Fendi being Fendi, the fabrications were exquisite, the details just so. They made the basic special, as in the multicolored enamel buttons marching up the front of a prim skirt. The special they made—well, you get the picture. Vide the treated jacquard that was used in a few evening options, covered in tiny dots of metallic sheen that sparkled like stars —the kind you’ll find twinkling in the Roman night sky or, if you like, splashing in the Trevi fountain.

Well, I know how you feel sometimes in front of these pieces of masterpieces, since I probably feel the same. You may wonder whether the inspiration and creativity of designers will run out, but at least we can still be surprised by the lefendary designer Karl Lagerfeld and the ideas and stuff he has brought to the world.

Fur Fashion

One of the most iconic designs by Coco Chanel is the Chanel style jacket, similar to the many jackets designed by her. It features the box-shaped and collarless jacket style. Coco Chanel got the inspiration from a cardigan sweater in the 1930s, but yet, even till now the Chanel style jacket is still hugely popular. A Chanel style jacket is often made of nubby fabrics like the signature tweed often used and typically features contrasting trim and patch pockets. The Chanel style of jacket works particularly well for slim and average size figure and can also be flattering for women with long waists and small chests.

Since its original conception by the House if Chanel the jacket has also evolved into lots of new versions of new styles. Surprisingly, it is now even possible to buy Chanel jacket inspired cardigans with a round neck and design which looks like edging. You can also get the same look but with a longer line instead of the traditional boxy jacket. Trims vary from grosgrain ribbon to lace and net.

Meanwhile, the original Chanel jacket was usually worn with a suit, while these days they are seen with a smart skirt or down with a pair of jeans. You will also find them in all sorts of different colours from pastel shades to monotone. All these innovations have actually given new life to this classic design.

Coco Chanel was particularly known for introducing comfortable and more casual clothes which were a definite contrast to the corsets worn by most in the thirties and particularly the styles of Christian Dior which emphasised the feminine figure. The loose fitting box style jackets and suits that Chanel designed were comparatively masculine. Chanel herself wore mannish clothes and all of her designs were adapted from these styles which she found so liberating. Isn’t it funny how times change as a Chanel style suit is now considered quite ladylike in comparison to the jeans worn by many. Coco Chanel was pioneering in her use of jersey in ladies fashion, a fabric which dominates the catwalks at the moment.

Prints, colors and patterns play the most important roles as the index of the current trends. There’s the mix of delicate, soft fashions with colorful look in the summer/spring seasons of 2010.

Therefore try out the loose denims and throw away the loose tunic or kurti this year. Sporting dress is likewise in vogue this year. So you find the stylish sweat trousers and designer jogging suits in fashion shops. These two styles have clearly indicated that the trend this year is more concentrated on convenience, instead of appearances. The latest fashion for women this year has been the casual suited jerseys paired with the denims looking great on females and very cool too. Denims will never be getting out of trend.

When dressing for formal event, you should first understand what are appropriate and what are not. Inappropriate accessories will send the wrong message or make you look out of place. Make sure your accessories match the tone of your outfit. In the past women have often forgone wearing watches to formal events, but that is no longer necessary as today there are several options for beautiful and appropriately formal watches. If you choose to wear a watch for formal event there are three ways you can go with your watch; jewelry, statement and subdued. Once you have decided on which of the three you want to go with there are several options to choose from.

Jewelry watches are exactly what they sound like; jewelry pieces with watch dials. Jewelry pieces range from bracelets that are indistinguishable from regular charm bracelets save for the extra charm with a watch face to almost regular looking watches that just happen to be on fancier bands. Certain watchbands may be, for example, a chain of hearts or circles attached to a regular watch. These watches, while dressier than a normal watch, can quite easily be dressed down if you wish to wear them at a later time to a less formal event. If you decide to go with a jewelry watch you must also decide if you want to wear it as a complementary piece to your other jewelry or alone.

The statement watch also requires you to match your jewelry with your watch instead of the other way. For example, if you purchase a slightly larger dress watch with an interesting pattern on the watchband and a distinct color on the watch face you will want to make sure that your other jewelry is subtle and does not draw attention away from the statement your watch is making. Statement watches may be harder to dress down at a later time, as they are often eye-catching. You may have to stay away from statement watch if you hope to apply it to more casual uses. Certain statement watches will be able to be paired with, say, jeans and a tee or with business casual clothing.

The final type of watch that you can wear when attending a formal event is a subdued watch. These watches are the easiest to dress down, as they usually consist of a simple band and face. When wearing a subdued timepiece you must still match your other accessories in terms of color and style. Unlike jewelry watches, however, the subtle or subdued fancy watches require complementary jewelry far more often. Subtle watches are often smaller than jewelry or statement watches and may be better suited to certain people. Subdued watches offer a classic and sleek look for more traditional women or events, which enables them to pair with jeans and a tee or even a business casual outfit.

It’s now much easier for us to purchase a right watch for certain occasions, since there are more options than ever before out there. No matter the message you want to send or the outfit you plan to wear, you can always find suitable pieces.
