Summer Favorite Dress: Black & White Apron Dress

Whenever possible, I’m all for the comfort wear. Meaning I mostly go out without high heels or too elaborate outfits.

Like Tom Ford said, I may know a thing or two about fashion trends, but I still prefer my jeans & t-shirt! (don’t you?) So here’s a great dress for those who like to keep their wardrobe in the comfort zone: Apron Dress from Pip – Sqeak Chapeau ETC. Want. Need. Now! {available here}

Lady Gaga Debuts Fame Fragrance. World’s First Black Perfume? Not!

Although I wasn’t expecting something traditional and certainly not something ethereally pink, Lady Gaga’s perfume, Fame, is a flowery scent, even sweet (with apricot notes).

However, they say it’s not your average perfume (duh!) and that it doesn’t have a linear progression (meaning that it’s not like the classic scents – with top / middle / base notes but more like a pyramid – perfume structure).

Undercolors Of Benetton Lovely Ad Campaign

I remember a time when United Colors of Benetton used to push the controversy button with every ad campaign. Now that place seems taken by American Apparel. These days, United Colors of Benetton does lovely advertising, like the Undercolors of Benetton below! I read the black beauty is Marihenny Rivera, who’s the other gorgeousness? {BeautyisDiverse}

Getting A Nose Piercing Makes You Famous: Evan Rachel Wood

…and filming it! Because you know, this is the absolute Reality Show age and you can’t even go to the ladies room without someone reporting about it (I just read a gossip title where they said Tom Cruise visited the toilet three times in 20 minutes while being on set, filming Oblivion).

So, back to Evan Rachel Wood. Actress. True Blood among others. 24yo. Used to be Marilyn Manson’s girlfriend. Reading that and you’d instantly imagine her tattooed and pierced in all secret places. Maybe, maybe not. (I’m leaning towards the latter after watching her getting her nose pierced)

So, back again: Evan Rachel Wood gets her nose pierced (at the House of Ink, Venice Beach). She had everything filmed and tweeted with a warning: “I must warn you, do not watch the last video if you are squeamish”. (the video in question, you can watch it right after the jump – Keeping Up with the Kardashias, who? Keeping up with Evan Rachel Wood is the real deal!)

Adam Levine’s New Angel. Ahem Girlfriend: Behati Prinsloo!

Adam Levine s new girlfriend (…more Angels talk!) So Adam Levine, who was left brokenhearted by Anne Vyalitsyna (breaking up with him not so long ago) has found an Angel to glue them pieces together! Behati Prinsloo is Adam’s latest victim… ahem girlfriend as they were seen walking hand in hand around town. Soon he’ll brag about having had the entire VS Angels squad passing through his bed! Yay! He’s the man! (my upset stomach is roaring)

Miranda Kerr Trying To Sell Us Victoria’s Secret Cotton Lingerie

Miranda Kerr is not only an active entrepreneur (she has her own organic cosmetics line, Kora?) and militant for all things eco and environmentalist. She’s also an undeniably charming Angel for Victoria’s Secret.

As such, she models for the brand’s latest Cotton Lingerie collection. And she manages to do something I never thought possible – transform simple cotton underwear into desirable lingerie item. Yes, I do favor cotton in my lingerie drawer. But I don’t really look at cotton as “desirable” material. Now I may, all thanks to Miranda here…

(oh, and the new Victoria’s Secret Cotton Lingerie Collection comes with a bonus island cottage pack? Or at least the tan? Just asking…)

Metallica Lullaby

I forgot something yesterday (you know, the couples & such day…). There’s no reason for a blue Monday if you’ll watch this! (thank you, Riana, for sending me this video! Priceless!) So, my dahlings, for a couples & such day after hours, here’s Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters Lullaby! Someone seems to be enjoying rock music, huh?

3 Outrageously Expensive Designer Shoes

Just a friendly warning: if you think that besides being some of the most expensive shoes in the world, the following three pairs are also some of the most beautiful, don’t get your hopes up! They’re more likely towards the other end of the scale (towards “ugliest”).

Gianmarco Lorenzi Satin Heel Sandals ($3,348) look like stripper sandals with a scrunchie! Gucci Woven Leather Boots ($3,750), although a bit more respectable – looking than the first, look like repurposed picnic baskets. Saving the best for last: hit the jump!
