Coachella Fashion Extravaganza

The Coachelle Music Festival was originally launched in 1993 to celebrate alternative, indie and electronic music in the Empire Polo fields of Indio, California.  The inaugural lineup include Pearl Jam, Morissey and Beck.  In 2011, the lineup included everyone from Duran Duran, to Kanye West, PJ Harvey to Cee Lo Green.

What is more notable, is that the festival has become increasingly famous for its fashion influence.  Big brands and stylish celebs are flocking to the event.  Big brands like Diesel, Mulberry, Armani Exchange and Philip Lim all threw parties to draw the chic set.  Starlets Nicole Richie, Katy Perry, Alexa Chung and Rihanna are only  a few of the ladies seen lounging in desert designer looks.

Most Fashionable NYC Easter Parade Hats

 Bonnet, chapeau, fascinator, head sculptures...Easter is a time for religious reflection or gluttonous chocolate consumption.  For the most stylish of New Yorkers, yesterday's 5th avenue parade was a giant runway for the most exquisite creations to top your crown.

Fashion personalities like Rosemary Ponzo, fashion designers and milliners showed their favorite designs.  Artists made a statement with dramatic sculptures.  Lovers of vintage accessorized complete outfits for their favorite era.  Young princesses danced around in wide brimmed dress-up hats while twirling in Sunday School dresses.

Cadbury be damned, I know what I'm asking the Easter Bunny for next year...

Are AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz Back Together?

AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz can't seem to quit each other! These two have been on-again, off-again over the last few months and after they were spotted laughing and smiling at LAX this week, it seems as though they're an item again.

The two were seen making their way through LAX together on Tuesday night and headed to Vancouver, where Lutz is filming Breaking Dawn with the rest of the Twilight cast. "They were playful with each other," a witness said (vis Us magazine). "Laughing and smiling at everything!"

The 90210 actress and her Twilight hunk called it quits in the fall of 2010, but were seen together at a hotel a few weeks later, and then they embraced for the cameras at a party not long after that. So, perhaps they never split at all! 

Even if these two are really back together, they probably won't talk much about their relationship. They never have. Kellan's most revealing interview about his then-girlfriend gave little insight into their relationship: "I've known her for six years, and we met again on the set [of 90210], but we shot Abercrombie [catalogs] way back in the day," he said in late 2009.

Hologram Fashion Show by Burberry Fall 2011 Beijing

Traditional-minded British brand Burberry wowed celebrity guests and fashionistas at their Beijing Launch this week.  One of the many luxury labels cashing in on China's billionaires, the brand presented the collection with an awesome holographic runway.  Hot English artist Keane (creative director Christopher Bailey is a fan) also performed for ecstatics guests.  This was an amazing example of integrating technology, style and spectacle for a memorable fashion event.

The video above is just a taste.  If you want to see the full fabulous show, follow through here.

Absolutely Fabulous - New Episodes!

Are you a fan of Britain's most notorious fashion-flaunting, male-escort hiring, daughter-abusing, label-whoring duo to ever hit television?  In the 1990's my circle of fashion friends were glued to the set for Patsy (Joanna Lumley) & Edina's (Jennifer Saunders) adventures.  In the early part of the last decade, the ladies returned again to throw us a bone with two additional seasons and a special.  

The show made a household name (and punchline) out of "LaCroix".  It paid tribute to the top fashion designers and demonstrated visually how bad high-fashion could be in the wrong hands (or backside).  It celebrated and parodied decadence with Edina's daughter Saffron as the moral center (and wet blanket).  Stateside, they inspired a new genre of drag queens with weekly events in Downtown NYC devoted to the duo.  

The Guardian UK has just announced that our favorite ladies are gearing up to grace us with three more episodes.  They begin filming this summer with the original cast (June Whitfield as Mum,  Julia Sawalha as Saffron,  Jane Horrocks as Bubble) expected to return.   

Unfortunately, there is no air date set for U.S. or even the UK.  We'll let you know as soon as can!  In the meantime, let's break out the Bolly!

Kate Spade Wedding Belles

From spring flings to the wedding ring... Kate Spade's cheerful color palette was accompanied by her fresh bridal collection last week.  Champagne and French macarons were served to the shoppers ready for blooms.  Those looking for a makeup touch-up were treated to new shades from Jouer Cosmetics.

 For the bride, the silhouettes contained simple sheaths, tunics and shirt dresses.  There were delicate embellishments like pailettes and pearl beading.  The price range was generally between $400-$500.  Bridal jewelry included pearl flower clusters, beaded chokers with chains and jeweled earrings. 

There were plenty of goodies for bridesmaids.  Fabric flower rings and over-sized organza mums adorned hairpins.  Bright colored vintage-inspired jewelry along with embroidered 'dressy' cardigans were perfect for a breezy garden ceremony.  I took a liking to the whimsical clutch handbags inspired by vintage books.  The ultimate accessory that evening was the shoes.  It was the most popular category of the night, all the fashionistas crowded the shoe lounge couches.  The favorite shoes (by far) were the fushia satin glitter encrusted mules with a bow.

If you're planning a simple, chic walk down the aisle, a trip to Kate Spade's boutique in Soho will take care of your needs.
