Ever since they canceled their Rodarte makeup collection, I was rooting for some MAC related news that’ll make me refill the love and makeup admiration I had for them. So this MAC Venomous Villains Makeup Collection for Disney comes to the rescue!

Not because I love the dark forces of Disney (though they do have their particular charm) but because the collection looks stunning. Cruella de Vil, Snow White’s Evil Queen, Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent and Princess and the Frog’s DR. Facilier teamed up for a nasty looking, utterly tempting makeup collection you’d want to have in your beauty case this fall! (hit the jump for more looks and details!)

How do you learn diplomacy? I’m not really good at it. I just think and then fire away. Which is not the best one can do. Especially when talking about Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga.

People seem to love these two no matter what. I think they’re trying too much sometimes. Especially Gaga. She’s the epitome of trying too much. Why V Magazine chose these two for their Fall 2010 67 issue, the New York Issue beats my immediate logic. Sure, the cover reads Fashion and Art in the most exciting city on Earth!, sure I could be fooled by the fashion and art principles as to overcome my disapproval of Gaga being in any way meaningful to NY, the States or any other State on Earth. But no-oh. Not me! (don’t miss the other three covers right after the jump!)

Didn’t you miss a good old fashioned baby bump watch? I sure did! Especially when it’s about an early second trimester baby bump, much unlike mine, a last trimester, truly impressive one. First trimesters, second trimesters are pure delight to watch and to wear, take my word for it! And even if you don’t, take a look at Miranda Kerr’s lovely baby bump below!

The image was taken from Miranda Kerr’s Kora video – a short clip where she talks about her organic cosmetics line, Kora and the benefits you get when using the organic way of life. It’s nice to watch and listen to (you can do so right after the jump), Miranda is pretty convincing and serene, without revolving around tired and annoying speech clichés. And that baby bump is adorable, isn’t it? (via)

Just when it was falling off graces (at least the graces of me own wardrobe), H & M comes with a surprising teaser hinting to a new designer collaboration. And that collaboration, the fashindustry said, it’s none the other than Lanvin.

In the sacred new tradition of the fash teaser of getting away with not explaining anything, the new H&M Designer Collaboration for the Fall 2010 sounds Very Melodramatic indeed (you can see the video and another one with Alber Elbaz himself explaining why he accepted the collaboration after the jump). Hopefully it will all be clear on September 9, when there will come with more video material to explain the new H & M Lanvin designer collection. (that’s a good alternative since I went to the Gap over the weekend and was sincerely disappointed by the looks of the Black Magic Collection. I’m hoping to get more feedback from you, but my first impression was “cheap”.) (wwd via)

Have you seen Chanel’s latest perfume ad campaign? It’s Bleu de Chanel, a perfume for men. The video is truly a masterpiece of the new fashmovie genre, starring Gaspard Ulliel and directed by the great Martin Scorsese.

I’d like you to watch the ad first and then tell me what you make of it! I’ll take you on a making of journey, right after the jump, where, in four pieces, you’ll be able to see this entire Bleu de Chanel puzzle come together.

What’s the most beautiful and/or surprising wedding invitation you’ve ever laid your eyes on? I think I found one that really amazed me and I’m sharing. It’s really stunning!

We had ours on old fashioned paper, with cute, funny drawings, the classic way! However, I do admire those who go unconventional (for their wedding and more) and make something as special as these handkerchiefs with directions to the location plus the unexpected packaging saying that Youngna and Jacob are getting married! Congrats to the happy couple and thank you for having shared your wonderful invitations with the world! Aren’t they just wonderful? (Youngna via)

Now let’s get few facts straight from the very start: we’re all familiar with Alessandra Ambrosio’s angel status and her appeal to the fash masses (or non fash masses). And we’re all familiar with Jesus Luz and his boytoy status (Madonna, anyone?).

Once we’ve had those clear images in our heads, let’s put the two together and we’ll get the Chenson Temptation ad campaign (don’t feel alarmed if you’re not familiar with the brand – it’s a Brazilian label). Temptation? I think a frozen swamp looks more tempting than these two. Appeal? I think a greasy pan has more appeal than these two. Chemistry? Anna Wintour coupling up with Carine Roitfeld would be like 4th of July firecrackers next to these two. I feel bad for all those gorgeous red apples they’ve got there. Jesus will make them all fade away with one of his unforgiving sensual looks! At least Alessandra is trying. Right? (don’t miss the rest of the images right after the jump, click here for the gallery!) (Chenson via)

Though the sandals season is almost over, I though I’d give these chain sandals another chance. Last we talked about chains curtains, there was this gorgeous DIY thing which I heavily recommend for increasing your fash-ego and bust your style-energy.

Now let’s take a look at these sandals by Tania Spinelli for Jen Kao. While looking all heavy and rock-ish, they also provide a new diy challenge I’d love to pick up and turn into wearable, affordable reality. Doesn’t this look like quite a statement piece to reinforce your city warrior wardrobe? (photo via)
