Vogue Paris is inspiring me to spend the summer with smokey eyes and windswept hair. . .

Audrey Tautou as Chanel in the up-coming "Coco Before Chanel"A bit of lingerie debuted on the runway of Chanel's Cruise 2010 show in Venice this weekend. Perhaps Karl Lagerfeld is pushing for a lingerie-as-outerwear trend? We doubt it - but it sure makes for a fun runway presentation. The black bra actually works very well with the boucle suit, don't you agree?
Of course we could not complete this post without a mention of the up-coming "Coco Before Chanel" film. We just love Audrey Tautou (doesn't everyone?), so we're anxiously awaiting its release here in the U.S.

Handmade, eco-friendly & ultra-stylish: can hardly believe that this beautiful handbag used to be a leather jacket . . .

Bustiers Meant for a Performance



Rihanna in a Phillipe & David Blond bustier
This picture of Britney looks very poorly Photo-shopped, which distracts from how adorable her ensemble is!While reading our favorite new blog, Blonde & Red, we discovered the designs of Phillipe & David Blond of The Blonds. They kind of sound like a rock group, and rightly so since they seem to be dressing today's music elite! The Blonds appear to do a lot of corset and bodysuit looks, but they also do dresses and ready-to-wear (not shown in this post). From their Spring 2009 runway collection we especially love the pink feather outfit shown at the top of this post. To see their full collection, visit their website. We can safely say that the theme of all of their looks is plenty of sparkle and pizzazz, which naturally makes for a show-stopping costume.

Cougar Mama!
Kurv magazine, photos by Tony DuranNormally we don't care for the phrase 'cougar' to describe a woman, but in this case, that is precisely what Brooke Shields is portraying in this photo shoot. Brooke is a 43-year-old mother of 2 and quite sexy in this shoot; almost unrecognizable in the first picture. It really goes to show that 40 is indeed the new 30!
We're not sure whose lingerie she's wearing, but it certainly works!
