Good news for Canadian ladies who have been lusting after the limited edition products used for the 2011 Spring-Summer Haute Couture show - they're here!

You must know that I have been lusting for - OMBRES TISSÉES Beiges - a satiny eyeshadow in three textured bands of silvery, golden and pinkish tones of beige.

The other limited edition piece is - OMBRE ESSENTIELLE in Gris Exquis - a beautiful smoky shade perfect for lining and shading.

The rest of the makeup used for the show is part of the regular collection.

The limited edition pieces won't be so easy to lay your hands on though if you aren't in Toronto or Vancouver as they're only available at the Chanel Beauty counter at Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street in Toronto, the Chanel Boutique on Bloor Street in Toronto and the Chanel Boutique at Holt Renfrew on Dunsmuir Street in Vancouver!

Jennifer Lopez Loves TOUS Accessories...and So Do We!

That American Idol gig turned out to be very profitable for Jennifer Lopez: she has been endorsing Venus razors, L'Oreal products and if that wasn't enough she's the new face of TOUS Jewelery for Summer 11. Our golden girl is so full of ca$hola she can taste it.

Joke aside, this ad campaign is super cute and JLO definitely delivers!

China Fashion Week: I Fell in Love with Red Plastic Swimwear!

Just kidding!

I know, I know...Toronto Fashion Week has started and I'm posting pictures from China...but you see, these designs are so ENTERTAINING, I could not resist! And by "entertaining", I mean so ugly funky! Although the wacky factor can't quite reach the bearded models from Berlin Fashion Week or a good Charlie Le Mindu runway, I have all the confidence in the world this swimwear line will eventually get there! I also believe the lady in red plastic (?) underwear is very close to a wardrobe malfunction. Looks like I've got so many beliefs, I could start a religion soon.

Some of these models are also the skinniest women I have EVER seen and let's not forget I lived in Paris where women's diet consists of cigarettes and mineral water.

 ...and how do you wash this, exactly? Forget washing. How do you put this stuff on?
If you know the answer, I would like to hear from you because you're obviously some kind of genius and you ought to share your brilliance with us.

Gucci Look Book Summer 2011: it's Bright, Alright!

I've seen this Gucci summer collection on a few red carpets already: celebrities like Jennifer Lopez have adopted the bright skirts, gold belts and sexy deep necklines. The draping is truly beautiful and the first outfit absolutely rocks my world. Perfection.

YSL Summer Campaign: it's a Music Video!

The new Yves Saint-Laurent  video campaign Discover the Spring/Summer features the beautiful Arizona Muse with the awesome Janelle Monae's song "Mushroom & Roses" Yeah, don't pay attention to that track title, I promise the song is really cool...this commercial is simple, but I love it!

5 TeenyB Bikinis to Look Super Sexy This Summer!

Summer is approaching fast and we found these super sexy bikinis from TeenyB. Now what I liked about this swimwear line is the choice of bikini cuts: tops are available in classic cut triangle, bandeau,  butterfly, sweetheart  etc...and bottoms can be thongs, full panty coverage, shorties...whatever feels the most comfortable to you.

I loved the idea of this twisted back triangle top and the 3-rings triangle top as I always struggle to keep my bikini top in place as soon as I start running around on the beach.

TeenyB is based in Florida but ships internationally.

Land of the Stupid, Home of the Brave: Visit Diesel Island!

After launching the Be Stupid campaign, Diesel’s next step is the creation of an entirely new and stupid society... an interesting concept. Think "Jersey Shore" stupid but with better-dressed people!

So will you visit Diesel Island this summer?

Prada: from Chiquita to Neon Stripes - I Just Don't Like It!

I was not impressed by Prada's latest runway show for Spring/Summer 2011 - an abundance of bananas, monkeys -reminiscent of Chiquita bananas...ew! - mixed with bright colors and stripes... it's loud, and it's giving me a headache. Not to mention, the shoes are weird, and the raccoon makeup and accessories seem out of place. This collection just baffles me!
