Eclipse is Nearing . . .

Casting for the new Twilight movie has already begun! AND filming for the movie starts next month.

EXCITEMENT!

So who is the new member to join the cast? The next bad boy – Riley – Victoria’s newborn vampire who is sent to kill Bella. Riley is being played by Australian actor Xavier Samuel.

Eclipse doesn’t come out to theaters until June 30, 2010. Sure its a long time, but we always have New Moon to look forward to, and not to mention the Wolf Pack boys! [swoon]

Spandex Wearing…

What I’m Wearing.

I’ve been OBSESSED with black spandex pants. Yes, spandex…I can’t get enough of them.

In the fall, winter, spring or summer, these pants are the most versatile article of clothing I own. They are a BIG investment.

Kate Moss is also a big fan of black spandex!!

So what do I pair them up with? Long sweaters most of the time. It’s my “go-to” outfit really. Black spandex, white tank, long sweater, and if I feel up to it…a high-waist fitted belt.

Dress it up with heels, catchy jewelry (long necklaces!) and a blazer

OR

Dress it down with scarves, flats or fun scandals and a big t-shirt

The pet-peeve I have about spandex pants is when they are matched up with REALLY short tops. eek!

If you plan on wearing spandex pants, make sure your shirt falls below you bum. Trust me, no one wants to witness the “wedgie” phenomenon.

More “What I’m Wearing” moments to come…

Finding the Labels…

Look what I found!!!

Yes. This is a Marc Jacobs SF Denim Dress.

Where did I score this adorable dress? Loehmann’s – your fashion designer destination.

I was so excited when I found it!! I tried it on and vowed that I would purchase this great find.

So, even if designer clothes are UNBEARABLY expensive, don’t give up hope. Try a store, like Loehmann’s that sells designer clothes…on sale.

It’s the best way to live fashionably recession happy

Adam Kimmel is no longer on the Market. . . .

On the singles market that is.

I had previously introduced Adam Kimmel, one of my favorite men’s fashion designer here, but now he is getting a lot of buzz not just because of his designs, but because of the his recent engagement news!

Thanks to justjared, I got news of his engagement to actress Leelee Sobieski. Remember her from Never Been Kissed, The Glass House? She was recently in the film Public Enemies with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

I’m not going to lie, my heart sank when I saw the news of Kimmel’s engagement. What a heart breaker! BUT, I of course wish all the best for the couple.

Grimes in Polka Dots . . .

In support of Vogue’s celebration of Phillip Lim’s one year anniversary of his store 3.1. Phillip Lim in L.A, celebrities showed up at Phillips’ West Hollywood store in style.

Thanks to justjared, I got a look at what the stars were wearing, and I have to say that my favorite Phillip Lim outfit had to be worn by Shenae Grimes from the show 90210.

I’m normally not a fan of her show, but I have to say that I love some of the outfits she puts together off the set. Could she be on her way to being the next fashionista?

Hmm  . . . not so sure, but with this Phillip Lim get-up, it sure gives her a good chance! I love the color and … the top! It is so different and sassy with its airy look and polka dots. Sure the “bra” is showing, but that adds to the outfit, bringing out its seductive side.

Phillip Lim, I am officially a new fan.

. . . Oh and I lourve her bag

**OH and INSTYLE picked Grimes as the Look of the Day! (July 18)

Marc and Lola . . .

Marc Jacob, my favorite fashion designer, has a new fragrance coming  out in August!

Hello Lola!

Thanks to NYLON magazine, they gave me the first details about Marc’s latest girl, Lola:

“Lola is a rich floral fragrance, featuring notes of ruby red grapefruit, fuchsia peony, and vanilla. While Daisy was the fresh and flirty, Lola is downright sexy—even its bottle is a bit wild, with a Technicolor bouquet serving as the cap to the bottle.” – NYLON

You can’t get your hands on Lola just yet . . . but you can pre-order Marc’s perfume at Bloomingdales.com.

-For more details on Lola and how you can pre-order it, check out NYLON!

What I love most about the bottle is that its purple!! And if you know me well, you would know that purple is my all – time favorite color, so naturally, I couldn’t resist.

INSTYLE talks about LOLA here!

I was all “fresh and flirty” when I wore Daisy, but now I think I’m ready to be “downright sexy” with Lola, wouldn’t you agree?

Sweater Love . . .

On most days, you will find me in a sweater.

No, I should rephrase that….everyday I’m in a sweater. It never fails.

I went into Anthropologie today, and I was struck by how many gorgeous sweaters hung on the racks and mannequins.

I wanted to share with you two that I’m head-over-heels in love with:

Pale Field Sweater

I was speechless when I saw these necklaces!!  These treasures are ones to keep:
