VENUS AND SERENA WILLIAMS COVER HAMPTONS MAGAZINE

New York is a city where people look for any excuse to throw a party.  So why not have a bash for the cover girls of the latest issue of Hamptons Magazine?  Tennis fashionistas Venus and Serena Williams were at RdV in the Meatpacking District celebrating just that and Estilo had to be there to see them close up before they were whisked away to VIP.  Serena showed her famous curves in a sexy black catsuit while Venus chose a short, flirty, kaleidoscope print number.  

CELEBRATION FOR CHEF FABIO CAPPARELLI AT CITYHOUSE

Last week I attended a fabulous party hosted by Infiniti and Gotham Magazine in celebration of the executive chef of cityhouse, Chef Fabio Capparelli.  Situated in midtown Manhattan, guests enjoyed the indoor/outdoor space at cityhouse while sipping "citytinis" a specialty cocktail created for the occasion containing Ultimat vodka, ginger liqueur, apple and lime juice, peach liqueur and garnished with candied ginger.

LOOK WE LOVE: SELITA EBANKS

Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks is the epitome of summer casual cool in this flesh toned tank, denim shirt, emerald tea length skirt, and embellished sandals.  These simple separates when put together make the perfect outfit so versatile that it can be worn while running errands or even to a red carpet event.

BILLBOARD SUMMER BLOWOUT

Swizz Beatz

Billboard threw a summer bash to end all summer bashes at Pier 36 in lower Manhattan.  Guests got to enjoy free Slurpees and hot dogs from 7 Eleven, chapstick from Nivea, and a rousing performance from Swizz Beatz. LMFAO, and surprise guest, Estelle.  

LOOK WE LOVE: BLAKE LIVELY

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively hit up the Teen Choice Awards last night in this tangerine colored Gucci creation from the Resort 2012 collection.  She finished her look with cheetah print Louboutins and dangly turquoise earrings.  The rising actress chose the perfect summer hue and smart accessories to complement her outfit but her best addition was her megawatt smile.  

CELEBS IN STYLE: NEON

Kerry Washington

This summer it seems that the hottest hues are the brightest ones as several celebs have been seen rocking neon shades of yellow and pink.  Kerry Washington killed it at the BET awards in a sexy Michael Kors number complete with a keyhole cutout and thigh high slit.   An asymmetrical hem jazzed up Kate Bosworth's neon number, and soon to be wed Kim Kardashian livened up her all white ensemble with an eye catching neon Birkin bag.

LOOK WE LOVE: PAULA PATTON

There's something about Paula Patton that I really like.  She just seems so wholesome compared to the hard-partying, publicity driven, crazy world of celebrity.  And her style is so effortless as evidenced in this sleeveless Ella Moss frock she wore to an event for the designer.  Patton keeps the look simple yet chic with a brown leather belt to cinch her tiny waist and matching peep toe booties.  Talk about coordination.

KARL LAGERFELD IS COMING TO MACY'S

Karl Lagerfeld

 By now if you haven't heard that Karl Lagerfeld is coming to Macy's you must be living under a rock.  But I still had to share this great moment in history if only because I never thought this would happen.  The iconic designer whose Chanel confections cost thousands of dollars is now targeting the mass market with a line for Macy's Impulse collection.  According to WWD the collection will feature 45 styles that will range in price from $50 to $170 and will debut at the end of August.  Here's a look at what's to come.
