It’s a different creative outlet for me. We love accessories; we love jewelry, so we’re having a lot of fun. We would put the baby to sleep and we would just start beading and talking and we realized this would be a fun thing for us to do.”

Also Nicole Richie has been working with Pascal Mouawad to create a hot and creative, affordable jewelry collection inspired by the 60s & 70s era and it’s about to make it’s

There are a lot of glam events happening around every day!!! It’s crazy! New movies, album presentations, books, clothing collection and so on. October 2008 was very rich in various events.

Celebrities demonstrated their glam style at the Whitney Museum American Art Gala in NYC on October 20.

Pretty Christina Ricci, young Emma Roberts and Helena Christensen were on trend in their dark grey gowns while Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were red carpet ready as ordinary. Christina Ricci was in a backless embroidered gown designed by Donatella.

The Nancy Drew Emma Roberts wore a shiny black strapless dress teamed with a pair of funky strappy black heels, both from Versace.

The benefit was sponsored by Donatella’s fashion house. The theme of this year’s event was “Whitney — Past, Present and Future” but seeing the celebrity studded red carpet, the art wasn’t the only thrilling sight that night.

Anne Hathaway arrived in stylish dress by Zac Posen while promoting her new film, Rachel Getting Married, on Tuesday evening at the London Film Festival on October 21.

I think she looks perfect! But she needs beautiful necklace for complete image.

US Glamour Magazine has cover girl British actress Keira Knightley in November 2008 issue.

Victoria Beckham does the cover of UK Glamour Magazine November 2008 issue.

Unfortunately, it is the Allure cover August 2008 via German Glamour cover.

Surely they could have taken some newer photo, or at least other photo from the editing.

Hot cover girl Victoria Beckham talks about her boys, family, love of vintage fashion and putting on those PVC trousers again. Also Victoria says that David Beckham’s her habby and soul man.

She talks why she weeped during the Spice Girls reunion tour.

I had to keep the smiles under wraps because that’s not the image I have of myself any more, but it was quite amazing. Good for the kids to see what I used to do. I don’t think I’ll ever do it again … I find fashion and perfume is where I’m more comfortable.”

She compares notes with the magazine:

About pregnant:

I’m not pregnant, and I’m not trying to get pregnant at the moment,” she tells, “I’m so lucky to have the boys [Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3] and they’re such great kids. Nice, free spirits and incredibly polite, which I think is very important.”

It takes a lot of energy, and the thought of having another baby now would be a little bit much”

Maybe in a year or two but right now, I’m having amazing career opportunities and I want to enjoy the boys.”

About her spirituality:

I’m really positive. I think that’s the way you have to be. I believe you visualise it and it will happen. I’m very in touch with my spiritual self in that way.”

About David:

We get on really, really well.. We are so lucky to have each other. He’s happy with his football. It’s a big challenge for him here, and as a family, we’re happy. We’ve never really rowed a lot. I think we’re soul mates and we really complement each other — as do the fragrances. He’s good-looking and I’m funny.”

About new kitchen adventure:

She’s recently become a fan of making cupcakes.

I’m very good at lasagna and spaghetti Bolognese,” she says. “I don’t eat them myself because I’m vegetarian. But for David the night before a game, it’s good to make sure he has protein and carbohydrates. … I’m very good at Dora The Explorer cupcakes too – out of a packet.”

About her signature style:

I wouldn’t want to stop experimenting, but at the same time I do have certain signature things. For instance, I always wear Christian Louboutins … Hermes are my signature bag.”

In November 2008 issue you can also find out about Nicole Richie explaining how Keith Richards inspired her wardrobe, Christina Aguilera sharing her beauty secret, Kate Moss’s hairdresser, James Brown launching his regular new column by spilling the beans on easy ways to get red carpet hair.

Very interesting! Don’t miss!

It’s all about the accessories. That what I can say about Spring 2009 Collection by Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion Week.

There were lots of plaids, chunky stripes, colors straight out at Wes Anderson film at September 8 Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 exhibition. Marc Jacobs played once more with 1940’s-style propered waists, pairing his tailored women’s dresses with heavy bangle bracelets. Dark metallic prints also appeared several times throughout the show, as did shoulder pads.

The handbags, shoes and belts. Even the silly hats, tilted just so.

They all awake overwhelming fashion lust in all of us every season.

Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and Marc Jacobs in the audience, started on time–something he did for the first time last season after years of plainly being criticized for long detains.

His Spring 2009 collection activated Edwardian silhouettes among other eras and somehow made the mixture of grime with glitter work. Skirts with draping and cascading folds, made of metallic Lurex fabric and brocade-like prints were standouts, especially mixed and matched in color schemes that didn’t make ordinary sense.

Fabilous attendees included Winona Ryder, Rachel Zoe, Kelly Osbourne, Nicole Richie, Sofia Coppola, and Lauren Hutton.

A younger generation of buyers is reluctant to buy Levi Strauss, Wrangler and Lee and prefers jeans collections of celebs-turned-designers like Victoria Beckham, P Diddy, Rachel Bilson, and others.

Though being on market since 1870 and becoming the must-have denims in the 1980s, the Levi Strauss Company is looking old-fashioned losing a massive part of its costumers to celebrity designer brands. Classic cowboy labels such as Wrangler and Lee are struggling to hold their own in the market too.

In 2008 denim is more likely to be found on the red carpet than at the coalface. Sales of Victoria Beckham’s line for Rock and Republic are reported to be strong.

The OC actress Rachel Bilson is presently co-designing a collection of jeans for DKNY, rapper LL Cool J will launch his denim line this fall to meet another rapper P Diddy on the market.

Meanwhile, boosted by celebrity support, newer premium jeans labels such as Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, 7 For All Mankind and Paper Denim and Cloth are becoming really popular. Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba and Kate Moss are rarely seen out of their J Brand jeans, and the company has just launched a new collection aimed at curvier women.

If brands are really popular with one generation, then the next won’t want to wear them. Kids just don’t want to wear the same jeans as their dads.” said David Pyne, UK manager for Tommy Hilfiger.

Many of the older brands are not as well fitted to the body as other newer ones. Girls want their bum lifted, their stomach flatter, their thighs thinner, and with the new advances in denim, the jeans feel and look better on the body than old-school styles,” added Aimee Brown, denim buyer for Selfridges department stores.

On the other hand, Levi Strauss, famous for its ad campaigns, is said to be launching a new campaign this fall.
