CELEBS IN STYLE: RIHANNA LOVES STELLA MCCARTNEY



In recent months, style chameleon Rihanna has been spotted in various looks from mega popular designer, Stella McCartney.  During London Fashion Week the sultry crooner was spotted in a slinky emerald gown complete with thigh-high slit (shown above) for an event that was hosted by the designer. She has since been seen promoting her new movie Battleship in designs from the fall and pre-fall collections including a multi-colored print tuxedo blazer (worn with strappy sandals and nothing else).  Two more pajama inspired looks, one in grey and white, the other all black, from Ms. McCartney rounded out the singer's daring wardrobe choices.  With Stella's talent and Rihanna's ability to look fab in anything she wears, this could be a match made in fashion heaven.   

LOUIS VUITTON/MARC JACOBS AT LES ARTS DECORATIFS

Last week I was able to pop over to Paris for the Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs exhibit at Les Arts Decoratifs.  Since I am a fan of both the man and the house I felt if was my duty to check this out.  It began with the history of Louis Vuitton, the man behind the LV.  Starting as a trunk maker in Paris in the late 1800s, the man who created the historic label later teamed with Charles Worth, the creator of Parisian haute couture, to sell his wares to his high-class clientele.  In 1888 the ubiquitous Damier canvas was born and it was also the first time that Vuitton incorporated his initials into the pattern.  Who knew that this print had been around for over one hundred years?

CELEBS IN STYLE: BEYONCE LOVES PRINTED PANTS


It seems that the new mother can't get enough of patterns as she has recently been spotted around New York wearing printed bottoms.  Above the singer wears a brightly colored maxiskirt by Etro and below she rocks a pair of floral print Stella McCartney pants with bright yellow pumps.  On an excursion with baby Blue Ivy the stylish mom paired black and white Clements Ribeiro joggers with simple loafers and she wore a pair of flag print trousers by Easton Pearson on another day out with Blue.

Recently I had the chance to get an up close and personal look at the collections for the upcoming Fall season at the Katch PR press day.  Fueled by white wine spritzers and sweet treats and pampered with manicures, complimentary blowouts, and eyebrow threading, my fellow bloggers, editors, stylists and I browsed the racks to see what goodies we could expect next season.  Here's what I found:
