Lee Cooper 100th Anniversary Giles Deacon Denim Dress

After finding out about the new denim it – Current/Elliott, how about something old, something blue, something redesigned to be something new?

Lee Cooper’s 100th anniversary is a unique moment to unite in the name of denim some of the most respected names in the design and fashion business. We’re talking about Jade Jagger, Paco Rabane, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Ora Ito, Linford Christie, Giles Deacon, Adriana Karembeu. Some of the pieces are inspiring, some are hilarious and others just un…wearable. The designs are destined to an auction raising funds for the Red Cross. However, I get back to the Giles Deacon’s dress. Why do I have the feeling it’s a Nun meet Halloween thing?

I talked about that pearl necklace t-shirt and how expensive it was just the other day but this is way too much! The million dollar necklace!

Made by Mikimoto, it’s an 18-inch strand with 27 perfectly round cultured pearls and an oval clasp with 11,92 carats of diamonds. Gathering the White South Sea AAA quality pearls took 10 years because they’re extremely rare. What makes them so special? Besides their 15.06 x 17.24 mm diameter, it’s the way they reflect light and a very special luster. Even so, $1,000,000 for a pearl strand?

You know me, I’m stubbornly pursuing a subject until it’s proven true or false. And the maternity rumors surrounding Eva Longoria had me already stirred once before.

Now I’m getting back on the Eva-track and look at this marvelous white outfit just to ask you if this looks like a baby bump. It’s not a Fierce Siriano, I admit, it’s far from being glamorous but it’s an inch far from being the perfect maternity outfit. And I can’t even begin to tell you how they tire me with hiding away their pregnancies! Celeb-this-celeb-that pregnant or not, let’s roll the dice! Do you think Eva’s pregnant?

For someone who’s always done her manicure herself, these manicure jewels look like pulled out of Freddy’s Nightmare beauty case.

It’s maybe not Jules Kim’s most representative work, but it surely is Bijules’ fiercest creation. They sell for $156 the pinkie one and $166 the any-finger ones. (that’s the price for one piece). When I get a look at these I feel the Adams Family breeze. But then again, I loved the Adams with all their weirdness and dark humor. Despite the egiptian mysterious air these could bring on, I still don’t like them. Would you wear such nail jewelry?

Now isn’t this just lovely? It goes far beyond the hammock, it goes far beyond the average swing. It’s a swing bed!

I would actually like to try it and see if it’s practical as it is seductive and beautiful. Until that moment, I’ll just say that it would fit like a wonder in a vacation house or somewhere where it’s hot all year long…Unfortunately there were no other details regarding this very special hanging on ropes bed, I just want to take the picture’s word and believe it’s wonderful. Have you ever tested a bed like this? Would you like one?

“I’m a Genie in a bottle”.. that’s what I remember from early Christina. She seems to be getting back to her old self with this Inspire fragrance ad.

Pink bubbles and airbrushed Christina, that’s how this ad could be summoned up. It’s just like the tagline of this campaign promises: “Be inspired, be sexy and be exactly who you want to be”. or how you want to be… Just an InspireD click away from your perfect self. I still wonder why she ditched her pin-up look, it suited her wonderfully!(more after the jump)

I know couples where they address each other with “my queen” or “my king”. I (and my husband too) don’t have that kind of rhetoric in my family. We know we belong to each other and don’t need any royalty referral to set it straight.

However, the king and queen rings look funny and maybe some would even adopt them as wedding rings. Why not, after all? Even if I wouldn’t wear them, I still found them interesting enough to write about. Fancy those royalty rings?

Every now and then I enjoy a good beauty talk that can lead to something useful. I’m not into kiss blogosphere, nor will I ever encourage it, so let’s see what helpful beauty hint we came across today.

They say collagen fibers aren’t very lasting and while your life begins at 30, theirs ends at 30 (and even sooner if you’re a beach-addict).

What are the most effective ways to resurrect your collagen fibers? Well first of all and most in handy – Retinol ( the thing is you have to pay attention at the concentration when buying the miracle containing product).(more after the jump!)
