Ghesquiere To Vuitton, Jacobs To Chanel

How about a friendly, stylish game of fashion chess? With amazing designers? It’s much like the legendary game of Wizard’s Chess! let’s see: rumor has it that after his shocking departure from Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquiere is to take over Louis Vuitton.

What about Marc Jacobs, you’ll ask? Why, he’ll be Chanel’s creative, biensur! Let’s see which move goes from the enchanted chess board to reality… {hint}

It is a great day! I want to celebrate every way I can, every way I know how. And putting together an outfit is the least I can do.

It’s not as showy as the Obama dress, not even as the National Flag wedding dress. But it does shows stars & stripes, although in a very casual style. I think it’s great to work around such a theme without making the outcome too obvious – after all, we don’t want to be a walking talking 4th of July poster. Can we keep it significant but wearable? Yes We Can! (wink) (as always, the specific details can be found on the Polyvore StyleFrizz sets here)

As the VS show approaches, more and more models sans clothes showcase glamorous lingerie. I keep having the impression they’re shrinking year after year. And no, I’m not talking about the lingerie! the models: don’t they look thinner each year? That doesn’t even bother me, I’m just saying, they should at least have something to fill those heavenly bras with! So here’s Laetitia Casta doing an outstanding job modeling for H&M’s Fall Winter 2012 Lingerie! All the right curves in all the right places! {tFS}

I remember being very careful with my heavily pregnant belly during my first pregnancy, and one of the things I feared the most was exposing my pregnant self in full sun. There was no tan for me that year!

However during the following three pregnancies, I cared less about that and we went out, having our share of fun in the sun, baby bump included! Call me careless, but here’s Gisele Bundchen whose third trimester baby bump is tanning quite nicely on a Miami beach…

After hearing about Ghesquiere’s depart from Balenciaga, I suddenly remembered another brilliant designer who was forced to shut his Haute Couture line not long ago: Christian Lacroix. What’s Christian Lacroix doing now? Flight attendants uniforms for CityJet, an Air France – KLM company. So there is life after Couture, huh? {ff}

If I would have to pick a Disney classic cartoon I really treasure and always encourage our kids to watch is: Winnie the Pooh and his stories from the 100 Acre Woods. They never fail to touch my heart or make my eyes misty. Winnie and his friends just have this way…

Oh, well, I won’t tell you to watch Disney cartoons now, will I? although… But here’s what you can do: check out Poketo’s amazing Winnie the Pooh wallets collection made in collaboration with six original artists. You’ll love the beautiful, colorful wallets (and so will your kids or any other Winnie fan you know!) You can take a look at them after the jump – in the gallery – or check them out in Poketo’s store here.

Gaspard Ulliel, although tied by commercial contract with Chanel (he’s representing their perfume for men, Blue) will be Yves Saint Laurent in a biopic movie called (what else?) ‘Saint Laurent’.

Wwd reports that the film, directed by Betrand Bonello (House of Tolerance) and Thomas Bidegain (A Prophet) starts filming next spring.

From Hannibal to Saint Laurent: just a catwalk away! {wwd}

Not long ago, we talked about Luther. A bit. Thing is, you see, you don’t really talk about Luther. You watch Luther. And you feel Luther. It’s one of those series you really don’t want to miss. Standing ovations to everyone involved, but, most specifically for: Idris Elba.

Whatever project he’ll be on, you’ll know just from his simple presence that it’s a special doing. So: Luther’s third series started filming this month (yaaay! Fireworks in the background – can you hear them?). It’s going to be a long road to TV, so if you’re Luther – sick and you miss Idris Elba’s acting talent, here he goes, starring and directing Mumford & Sons’ new video Lover of the Light. Just… Enjoy!
