My Loves A Revolver...

I was a huge fan of Mila Hermanovski when she was a contestant on Project Runway Season 7.  To my delight I came across her web site, and was happy to see that she is still pursuing her dreams, and creating collections.  I was particularly a fan of the accessories she produced for her Fall 2010 collection which aired on the season finale.  Her Revolver Gloves are killer...not to mention you can still wear your rings.


My personal favorite.. Ivory $175



Project Runway Season 7 is also available at www.amazon.com 

Drew...

 
Drew Barrymore looked super chic when she made a guest appearance on the Dave Letterman Show to promote her new flick "Going The Distance".... which from the preview will be just as amazing as her look. She wore a gold sequin top by Richard Chai....  paired with high-wasted "paper-bag waist" Camilla and Marc pants and grey suede YSL Trib Too pumps.  I'm also loving her two tone wavy locks.  Her look is just so glamorous yet effortless at the same time.  Get Drew's look for less.  Remember it's all up to your interpretation.
Michael Kors Gold Sequin Top $89.50 www.michaelkors.com
Silence & Noise Paper-bag Trouser $58 www.urbanoutfitters.com
ALDO Botking "Grey" $90 www.aldoshoes.com

I also recommend listening to the soundtrack to Drew's new movie "Going The Distance" available to buy or download at www.amazon.com for inspiration!

Bang Bang... Bang?

Marc Jacobs new controversial ad campaign for his first men's fragrance.... showcases the designer in the buff.  Marc told Vogue... he tried many different approaches for the photo shoot and ultimately decided to go naked.  Honestly I don't understand why people are so upset about this...  It's no different then ad's from designers Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, etc...  The controversial ad will be featured chest up in the Midwest and full page everywhere else but the Middle East which will release the ad with the bottle only.
