LimeLife Reports: Stella McCartney and Morrissey Team Up For Shoes

imageThough we would be extremely excited about Paul McCartney and Morrissey teaming up, we’re still pretty psyched Stella McCartney and Morrissey are teaming up. Especially since they’re teaming up for shoes! Both Stella McCartney and Morrissey are vegetarians, and they’re about to create a line of shoes together that proves their love for animals. They’re in the early stages of a leather-free range of footwear. According to Stella, “I’m working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I’m really excited about. We are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year.” We never really placed Morrissey as a shoe designer, but we think that’s pretty awesome. And we have a feeling the shoes will sell really well because there’s a huge population of people who don’t want leather on their shoes. Not to mention, we’re sure there are tons of Morrissey fans who would love a pair of his shoes. Check out our friends at LimeLife to read more!

Which Celebrity Tot Looked Cutest In Her Juicy Couture?

imageI have to admit, there are a few pieces that Juicy Couture comes out with each season that I do find cute and worth having, but overall, the Juicy style is not for me. It’s especially not for me when I do pick up that one dress that I actually find attractive and have a minor heart attack from the ridiculous price tag attached to the simple, knit garment in my hands. Juicy Couture tracksuits were and still are, one of their most popular and best selling items, but again, I cannot feel good about handing over that sum of money just to buy something to lounge around in. While Juicy Couture still has a group of loyal followers, the majority of us have seen enough overly-tanned, bright bottle-blonde girls in head-to-toe Juicy to last a lifetime. But even though I find it irritating to see grown women decked out in full-on, blinged out, in your face Juicy Couture, tiny tots happen to look absolutely precious in the pint-sized version. Something about the contrasting prints, comfy knits and clashing colors just looks adorable and trendy on the six and under set. We’ve spotted a number of darling celebrity tots proudly showing off their Juicy Couture outfits so take the poll below and help us decide which kid looked the cutest!

Lady Gaga Opens Up About Work, Sexuality In January’s ELLE

imageLady Gaga is on the cover of the January issue of ELLE looking staggeringly normal– a quality we’d never thought we’d attribute to the songstress. Of course, “normal” in her case also happens to be quite pretty, which isn’t always the first thing you notice when you take into account her affinity for outrageous, scene-stealing costumes and heavy makeup. In the issue she opens up about recurring themes in her work, saying “I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you’re not looking for it. I’m dying for you on domestic television– here’s what it looks like, so no one has to wonder.” Somehow I’m convinced we’ll always wonder about Lady Gaga even with this new insight, especially if you consider that seeing a pared down version her is about as rare as seeing her don pants, but it’s definitely intriguing to see a new side of the enigmatic artist.

Victoria Beckham To Start A Modeling Agency?

imageWe definitely think Posh Spice could pull this one off! Victoria Beckham certainly knows enough about fashion and looking good and we’re pretty sure her modeling agency would be top of the line! Everyone would be dying to be a part of it. Victoria Beckham would be working on this exciting new modeling agency project with her manager Simon Fuller (you may know Simon Fuller as the creator of American Idol. He was also the manager of the Spice Girls). Clearly, Simon knows what he’s doing in the business world and we think Victoria has quite a few business smarts herself. According to a source, “Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion. His first foray into fashion was to team up designer Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success.” We’re sure Simon loves having Victoria on his side and the source says, “Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role.” Simon already owns 50% of London modeling agency Storm Models and wants Victoria to set up something similar in New York. We can’t wait to see what Victoria’s model agency is all about; we bet all the girls will be absolutely stunning! Check out more info and pics by clicking over to our friends at Limelife!

Video Style Steal: Beyonce And Lady GaGa Team Up For “Video Phone”

imageBeyonce has always been known for topping herself when it comes to putting on a good show and looking fab while doing so, but for her latest video “Video Phone,” B’s got a secret weapon aside from all those Nerf gun props — Lady GaGa. The result? Lots of gyrating, futuristic flair, and of course, more costume changes than you can accurately keep track of. And while a collabo featuring two of today’s boldest pop divas is undoubtedly a recipe for fierceness, it’s also bound to feature lots of unattainable designer duds… and a lack of suitable pants. If you’re ready to tackle suspicious stares and a whole slew of credit card bills, check out Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest collections for Beyonce’s exact video outfits (good luck!), but if you’re looking for an actual wearable interpretation of her killer stud boots and trench-inspired outfit, look no further than the slideshow!

From LimeLife: Ashley Greene’s Stunning Last-Minute “New Moon” Premiere Look

imageWe think it’s pretty easy to agree that Ashley Greene looked absolutely stunning at the premiere of “New Moon” the other night. But did you realize how last minute Ashley’s dress was? This has us truly believing that Ashley Greene is a really incredible fashionista. Ashley’s beautiful red dress is a Prabal Gurung and we’re so glad she chose it because it suits her absolutely perfectly. But Ashley hasn’t been planning this look for months and months. In fact, she chose it right before the big “New Moon” premiere. She says she had another dress all ready to go, but then she says that at the last minute, “I decided I didn’t like it and we had to start from scratch.” We can imagine that must have been pretty stressful! But it was such a big event for Ashley, we’re sure she wanted to look as perfect as can be. She continues, “I stopped by the tailors right before I got here to pick up the dress.” You definitely wouldn’t have known it from looking at her; it seems that everything worked out just perfectly. Click over to LimeLife to read more about Ashley’s red carpet style.

“Twilight” Madness: Which “New Moon” Merchandise Is Creepiest?

imageAt the risk of sounding super dorky, I’ll admit that I’ve read the Twilight series… more than once. And sure, if I had to pick, I guess I’d say I’m on Team Jacob, but I mean… I wouldn’t exactly call myself a Twi-hard. So what if I saw “New Moon” at midnight?! Alright, fine, I’m kind of a Twilighter… but I’m definitely not alone! After all, it’s hard not to succumb to the year’s ultimate guilty pleasure when you’re surrounded by it everywhere you look — and in light of the “New Moon” Westwood premiere last Monday, “fanpire” fever is undoubtedly in full effect if it hasn’t been already! T-shirts, jewelry, makeup… you can hardly go into your favorite store anymore without seeing something emblazoned with R-Pattz’s face on it. However, despite my borderline inappropriate crush on Taylor Lautner, I’m a firm believer that there are certain boundaries that need to be observed when it comes to obsessing. Sure, the very nature of the vampire-centric series is eerie in itself, but some Twilight toys and t-shirts take fangirl freakiness to a whole new level. I mean, what is the purpose of a life-size cardboard cutout? And no matter how badly you may want your own icy Edward Cullen to snuggle with, do you really need a duvet cover with his face on it? Vote below on what “New Moon” paraphernalia is the most ridiculous!

Jimmy Choo For H&M Collection Debuts For VIPs, And All Dignity Is Lost

imageOn the eve of the official Jimmy Choo for H&M collection debut, I made my way to the retailer’s flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York for a special pre-launch shopping event. Celebs, fashion professionals, and press made up the invitation list–par for the course at these shindigs. We’re generally a jaded lot (or, at least, pretend to be). Anna Wintour walks within two feet of you in the tents during Fashion Week? Don’t even blink (internally, though, you’re hyperventilating). So imagine my surprise when upon entering the red-carpeted doors, I spotted many of my brethren in a state of downright frenzy, squealing over stilettos and gleefully grabbing as many handbags as they were allowed. The store itself was tricked out with glamorous sapphire draping, an open bar, and gourmet h’or dourves, but all eyes were on the shoe section where even the guests had to wait our turn to have a go. Christian Siriano and Michelle Trachtenberg were just some of the stars spotted in the fray, and as I left the store, there were apparently folks getting ready to line up overnight for the opening on Saturday morning. The H&M designer collections are a phenomenon I love for the fun, boy band crazy-like moments they create, especially when they can bring out the fashion fanatic in many of my seemingly “over it” colleagues, moi included. And next up on H&M’s stellar collaboration roster? Sonia Rykiel, whose H&M lingerie collection launches December 5, with a spring collection debut to follow on February 10, 2010. Check out the slideshow for photos of some of your favorite celebs and the scene at the Jimmy Choo for H&M VIP shopping event!
