Wedding Bag: $48,000 Chanel Minaudiere

With the weddings season approaching, it makes total sense talking about a wedding appropriate bag. This clutch, however, is pretty special: not only does it look like a work of art, but the Chanel Shell Minaudieres actually have the price tag of a veritable artwork.

$48,000 for the Chanel Shell Minaudiere entirely covered in (natural) pearls and $30,000 for the plain ivory one. As it is, the Chanel clutch can make a perfectly justifiable display art piece for your house. That is, of course if you’re going to buy a car and end up in a Chanel boutique instead and you simply don’t know what to do with the $30k or $48k in your bank account. New car – Chanel cluth. Chanel cluth – new car… (This special bag is part of Chanel’s Spring 2012 collection)

Since the announcement of her second pregnancy, we haven’t had the chance to admire Adriana Lima’s beautiful proud baby body. Now there she is, attending an official event in New York. Alongside another one of Victoria’s Secret Angels, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana showed her pretty head (and body) at the opening of the IWC NY boutique. Blooming, huh? I wonder when will there be a Victoria’s Secret maternity line… {BeautyisDiverse}

It’s not furniture per se, but since we’re in the summer time (yeah, baby!), lounge furniture and outdoor furniture qualify as generic furniture. (doesn’t it?). Well, long story short: below some fancy schmancy Marni furniture pieces. Chairs, chaise longue, bench, all colorful and summer – full.

And odd! I fear the price of these so – called fashionable home décor pieces can sometimes exceed not just our wildest imagination by placing a tag way out of our reach. Making the Marni furniture perfect for display purposes only – I’m certain that the boho rich people who’d buy it, would also make good use of it (say once / season, when they’re in their museum – like vacation house?)

Beyonce has a new hair stylist. And if you take a long and hard look at the picture below, showing Beyonce’s latest hairdo, you might even guess who that mighty stylist is!

So? Have you figure it out yet? It’s Beyonceeeeee herself! Yes, you’re reading that right! Although she is People’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Beyonce wears flats (something she said she would’ve never imagined doing before the birth of her baby girl, Blue Ivy) and cuts her own hair! If Beyonce can do it, so can you! (I did, and it’s really not that bad – at least I have no one else to blame if I have a bad hair day – wink)

I recently cut two inches myself – I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh! […] I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels. […] [Jay – Z] loves it when I wear flat shoes. He likes me more natural – just the relaxed, natural me.

Launching her newest jewelry collection, Heidi Klum posed carelessly with a bunch of the sparkling items (if not all, as she was stacking watches up to her elbow). Keeping her look minimal with black dress and matching black pumps (and black nails), Heidi knew exactly how to make that jewelry shine! The camera does love Heidi, I give her that much! {tDM}

It’s a tradition, it would appear, that Ralph Lauren designs the uniforms for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic team so they could look their best for the Closing Ceremony. There’s also a full casual wardrobe for them to wear in the Olympic village as well, so you needn’t worry, they’ll be preppy at anywhere in their fancy Polo tees.

92 days and counting until the London Olympic Games begin, so Ralph Lauren stores are reportedly going to stock on the Ralph Lauren 2012 Team USA Olympic collection starting next month. You have until the end of July to match and coordinate your closet with the Olympic fever! (check out the team video right after the jump)

There’s some kind of strange Photoshop wind sweeping the fashion magazines shores in Brazil! After finding out the details of Coco Rocha’s Elle Brazil cover, now it’s Vogue time! Sharon Stone puts on her bravest migraine head on Vogue Brazil’s May 2012 cover. The dress is great, the cuffs too, the idea of having a woman in her 50s on Vogue’s cover is lovely too. Too bad the Photoshop team went crazy on that photo! {tFS}

Technically it’s more like “dare to apply temporary tattoos” but then again, once on your skin, you’d actually have to wear them for everyone to see. Especially the Eye Tattoos – they’re hardly discrete. But we’re living in fast times and even doing your nails has become a matter of applying a patch of instant nail polish instead of applying coat after coat and waiting for it to dry on its own.

Following in the footsteps of the Dior eyeliner patches we talked about in the past, (nail) Rock cosmetics have added eye tattoos to their collection. I discovered these while browsing Free People’s What’s New section. And to my surprise, I felt curious about them – I would even go as far as to say I’d like to try them! (click through for more)
