KATIE HOLMES FOR ARMANI

Katie Holmes is joining the ranks of celebrity fashion designers. The actress is set to release her own label with Italian heavyweight Giorgio Armani, aptly named Katie Holmes for Armani.

The 29-year-old wife of Tom Cruise revealed to the latest issue of OK! Magazine that her first collection will be aimed at the much smaller shoppers: toddlers. Using nearly two-year-old daughter Suri as inspiration, the chic line will be out as soon as Spring 2009. Suri donned a polka dot dress designed by Holmes' last year. From there, Holmes has a line for older children to hit stores in Fall 2009 and finally a line of women's clothes and handbags for Fall 2010.

The Armanis and Cruises have developed a close friendship, and since first meeting Holmes in Rome three years ago, Giorgio himself has been dressing her. At red carpet events, both Holmes and Cruise often slip into the elegant threads of the designer - they even wore Armani on their wedding day. And the seasoned designer has taken Holmes under his wing, helping her learn the ways of the fashion world.

My opinion on the subject...

God, I hope this is just a rumour or some PR trick. I am so sick of all the celebrity "designers". Just because you love fashion or spend time with fashion designers, that does not make you a designer! It's not like anybody can just pick it up and do it. You need to know construction and fit. I cannot take the celebrities as designers seriously. I also wonder who buys these clothes because most of them are just crap.

FANCY HOSIERY

The weather has become really cold in Sweden and in UK. Now when it should be time for spring, it has started to snow! Well, the snow came 2 months too late but what to do. If you don´t want to hide your legs in pants, treat yourself to some fancy hosiery. It´s a good idea to invest in a pair of quality tights because they are trendy even in autumn. In my oponion, you can´t really go wrong with a pair of Wolford tights because, yes, they are pricey but at least they last long time and still look good. Once you start wearing them, you dont´look back, so you are warned!

Some of the places on the net where you can buy Wolford tights are:

Victoria Beckham is the perfect Marc Jacobs model

Lately Victoria Beckham has been wearing a lot of Marc Jacobs clothes and bags as she is Marc Jacobs´ model for the season. Well, she works hard for her money! I just wonder if she will continue to wear his clothes after the contract is over.

Here are some examles of Posh wearing MJ clothes and bags.

Here is Victoria shopping in LA in March. You can buy this tunic dress at http://www.netaporter.com/. It costs £ 1220,00. Sizes US 2 and 4 are already sold out!

Victoria at New York Fashion Week in February. This black-and-blue sleeveless felt panelled dress with high red collar costs right now £ 554,00 at http://www.netaporter.com/. The price has been reduced by 60 %, so hurry up! Only US size 4 is left, everything else is already sold out!

Victoria wore this fabulous dress to party in New York in February. It comes from Marc Jacobs Resort 08. This Black silk oversized belted shift dress with all over Swarovski crystal embroidery costs £2810,00 at http://www.netaporter.com/. Size US 0 (UK size 6) is sold out!

Victoria Beckham at Victoria´s Secret Pink Carpet in November. This hot pink silk crepe backless dress with short inserts costs £1465,00 and also comes in black. Sizes US 2 (UK size 6) and 4 (UK size 8) are sold out.

This beautiful brown jacket comes from Marc Jacobs fall/winter 07/08 collection. I think it looks very much like it could be a Balenciaga jacket.

In my opinion it´s one very ugly bag and I can´t believe Victoria took it out of the house! Yes, both the dress and the bag are by Marc Jacobs. The bag is from Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer ´08 collection.

SJP UNSEXIEST WOMEN IN POLL

Sarah Jessica Parker has been voted the world's "unsexiest woman alive" by American men's publication Maxim. Parker, 43, has had a difficult time dealing with the news that men do not find her as attractive as advertisers do, claiming the result of the Maxim poll was "brutal" and also affected her husband, actor Matthew Broderick.

Parker told the weekly publication Grazia: "Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No."Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not."Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? I guess you can't please all people."

Parker can take comfort in the bank balance though, safe in the knowledge that she is financially miles ahead of her SATC co-stars. According to the Daily Mail, the other Sex and the City actresses have all earned millions, but trail behind Parker's cash pulling power, who had a multi million pound deals with clothing firm Gap and cosmetic firm Garnier. Parker also picked up an estimated £3.5m to design her own range of clothes for U.S. label Steve and Barry.

My opinion on the subject...

I agree that SJP is unsexy. Maybe not unsexiest in the world but she is definately not Adriana Lima. But SJP is one of the most stylish women in the world and in my world this is worth much more.

I BOUGHT A NEW...

... Hair dryer

After I had bought a new hair straightener and shampoo/conditioner got me really in a shopping mood and I desided to treat myself to a new blow dryer. My old one was really old, dare I say from 2001 but it still worked, although it had started to smell funny lately. So I went on Stylesearch.se again and looked around but I did not find so many posts on blow dryers. Then I went on a website Eleven.se because I have shopped from Eleven.se before and I have always been satisfied with their service. Besides, they always add a little bag of free gifts when they send you the ordered goods. I love it! I looked at the hairdryers and decided to go for a tourmaline hair dryer. It is supposed to be good for hair as it protects it from all the heating damage and makes it shiny. I bought Toni&Guy 2000w Tourmaline Dryer. It costed 595.00 + postage 39 SEK.

So, how was it?

I have used it 2 times now and so far I am happy with it. It is a powerful 2000 watt hair dryer and it dries my hair really fast. It has 2 different heat settings and 3 different speeds. It also has "True Cool Shot" to set the hairstyle. Another plus is a long wire. My hair looks and feels much healthier. It is shiny, the ends are smoother and the style lasts all day. I really believe the damage factor will go down with the use of this dryer.

As usual Eleven.se sent a little goodie bag with the hair dryer. Here it is:

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo. Anyway, the goodie bag contained:

Mario Badescu Glycolic Gel

Mario Badescu AHA & Ceramide Moisturizer

TVÅL Skin Smoothie in Pink Cotton Candy

TVÅL Skin Smoothie in Sugar Pears
