Something 'Incredible' This Way Comes


The Victoria's Secret Angels were seen taking flight earlier in the week as they debuted the brand's newest fragrance, 'Incredible' and the perfume wasn't the only thing making sweet aromas. The women from Adriana to Candice hit the pavements in promotion wearing fresh spring colors and sequins. Though the dresses were mini and the bodies enviable, it was just another day in the life of an angel. Maybe next time they'll wear their wings. Will you be buying the fragrance?

Kim K.'s Voice May Be the Only Thing About Her That's Flat

Kim Kardashian continues in her attempt at world domination with the release of her first single "Jam." After admitting to being nervous on Ryan Seacrest's radio show earlier today, Kim K. did acknowledge it was her first time singing and it was for charity. While the aim was nice and the song was decent, her voice itself is weak. She sounds like she is talking the whole time and depends on the auto-tune and beat to carry her through. Stick with the...wait a minute what is it that you do? Oh yeah, stay gorgeous and classy I guess. I mean you can't deny you'd love to stare at her and her assets all day, but singing isn't one of them. When it coes to music and singing, this is the first time it's okay to describe Kim K. as flat. You can listen for yourself on Kim's blog or a radio soon near you.

An Oxymoron







Is it possible to be a vixen and innocent at the same time? This was what Roberto Cavalli had us asking when he debuted the FALL 2011 RTW collection for his Just Cavalli line. Between dainty floral prints and matronly cuts the show was channeling "Little House on the Prairie" while the heavy smoky eyes were more like "the Addams Family." Combined it literally became a walking contradiction, and while there were some traditonal animal and jean prints we expected from the label, the opposites attract thing it had going on left an uncomfrtable taste in our mouths.

Mod in Motion







One of the latest Fall 2011 RTW collections to debut was Piazza Sempione. The Italian house welcomed us in with rich fall colors ranging from emeralds to orange and reminding us that fall also offers the opportunity to start anew from a blank slate with beige. The vintage and retro feel given off from the symmetrical and basic cuts was a return to the era of Audrey and Warhol. With few pieces and fewer surprises, the designs felt like nothing new, yet comfortable sending the message that mod is back in motion. (Photos from and more at style.com)

Clear as Ice and Cold As It Too











Iceberg's FALL 2011 RTW collection gave off mixed signals this week. On one end it was right on trend with pillowy trousers and off the shoulder gowns like the beaded black gown and leather ones featured above, but on another it hit murky frozen waters with grandma sweaters(see above) and acqua colors. Between Fall trends and spring colors, it seemed as if the fashion house could not settle on a season. Hint: look at your name. So while the confusion was clear as ice, it was as cold as it too. *Unless otherwise noted photos courtesy of style.com.*

"You're Going to Make Me Blush!"




At Least that was what I wanted to scream after witnessing the delicacy of Armani's FALL 2011 RTW Collection prance across the runway. Staying true to the fine tailoring of his house, Armani expanded it with blush tones and silky trousers this time around. At one point, Armani paid homage to himself with a black shirt decorated with his own face. One look at the new collection and you'll be blushing too.

Manifest Destiny







Gold, riches, uncharted territory. These were the themes that built America and the Wild West, and these were the themes of the latest Fall 2011 RTW show by Dsquared2. From exaggerated cowboy hats given a chic dip in black, to the good old leather and furs that kept our ancestors warm (sorry PETA), the West was reminded of how it was won, and as this collection proves, it certainly was.
