EVA MENDES FOR SECRET OBSESSION



I just saw a print ad for Calvin Klein´s new fragrance Secret Obsession. The new ad campaign features Eva Mendes, my girl crush. In my opinion the picture looks good but it´s not sensational. It looks like any parfume ad, it doesn´t really stand out. I think they should have used Evas sensuality more. It was my favourite parfume in the ´90s and I will definitely try it when it comes to stores. Interesting to see if the parfume is as bland as the ad!

2008 CFDA FASHION AWARDS

On 2nd of June the Council of Fashion Designers of America held their annual awards ceremony at the NY Public Library.
I love Victoria Beckham´s look at the fashion awards. Very fierce! She is wearing Marc Jacobs, of course. I like her hairstyle and the dress stunning.


Kim Cattrall looks amazing in Monique Lhuiller Fall 2008! She is very beautiful compared to the model and that says a lot. Very often clothes look better on models than on celebrities.



Eva Mendes looking elegant in a simple Calvin Klein gown. Amazing!



Georgina Chapman looks great in red Marchesa dress! The dress is from Marchesa´s Fall 2008 collection.


Hana Soukupova looks gorgeous in Badgley Mischka Fall 2008.


Ashley Olsen was in Calvin Klein resort 09. So simple and so elegant! Calvin Klein is good at that!

KATE MOSS FOR AGENT PROVOCATEUR

Several newspapers have reported that Kate Moss has been dropped as the face of Agent Provocateur. Now the spokeswomen for AP explains on Vogue.co.uk that the rumours are inaccurate. She also mentions that Kate has been signed for a one year contract as the face of the bridal collection, White Wedding. Agent Provocateur is one month into the campaign and it has proved the most successful campaign the company has ever done.

But there are developments afoot for the label's next mainline campaign, which is due to launch in September. The company recently shot a series of images that will feature a whole host of British and international beauties. Exciting!

CHARLOTTE´S CLOTHING LINE?

Vogue is reporting that SATC´s Kristin Davis is launching her own clothing range for American retailer Belk. The line will launch at the end of August and at the beginning it includes sportswear, activewear, sleepwear, accessories and footwear. This is Belk´s first celebrity line and the prices will range from $30 to $240.

I am very sceptical about celebrity clothing lines. Most of them are just crap. I think that very few of them are OK, none of them is great. I think that people who buy these clothes are buying a piece of the celebrity. I understand that celebrities love fashion and clothes but I don´t understand what makes them think that they can do a better job of designing clothes that the professional designers who have studied this for years? Anyway, I like Kristin´s style, she dresses very well for her body type. She knows her body well, what to hide and what to show. Good luck! (You need it with sceptics like me.)

BLOOM´S SECOND COMING


In 2002 Australian make-up brand Bloom disappeared without a trace. Now it is back and as pretty as ever! It is sold at Superdrug. The selection is wide: lipsticks, lip glosses, lip tints, eye paints, cheek tints, different foundations, huge selection of nail polishes, bath and body products and even skincare. The prices are pretty too, for example about £8,00 for a lip gloss and eye paints £10,00.

Personally I have never tried Bloom´s products but they look so girly and pretty that they cannot be bad. I will definitely try them soon!
