Megan Gale for L’Oreal, Madonna’s Beauty Line, Taylor Lautner in Australia and Kate Bosworth’s New Man

Posted: 05 Aug 2011 02:03 AM PDT

By Chloe Schneider

Last night the rumours were confirmed, Australian beauty Megan Gale is the new face of L’Oreal Paris.
Meanwhile the ultimate Material Girl and her daughter are getting ready to launch a beauty line.
Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner has announced that he will be visiting Australia in just a few weeks time.
And Kate Bosworth seemed to have moved on from Alexander Skarsgard mighty quickly, so who is her new beau? Read on and find out…

Megan Gale or L’Oreal
On Monday, we addressed the flying rumours that Megan Gale would be the new face of L’Oreal.
Last night those rumours were confirmed as the beauty giant hosted a huge event at Eveleigh’s Technology Park where Australian supermodel Megan Gale was announced as the brand’s newest ambassador.
Gale wore a stunning gown from her friend Alex Perry and said, “When you start modelling you have certain goals… the Holy Grail is a cosmetics contract with a global cosmetics company… For it to come about, and for it to be L’Oreal, I just can’t believe it.”
The Glamazon Gale turns 36 on Sunday so we’re sure she’ll be celebrating all her amazing achievements over the weekend.

Madonna and Lourdes To Launch Beauty Line
After the success of their clothing line aptly named ‘Material Girl’, Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon are getting ready to launch a line of cosmetics that will be available at Macy’s.
It is set to include nail polishes, lip glosses, body washes, mists and lotions. Just like the clothes from the Material Girl collection, the pieces will be eighties-inspired.
The range is aimed at the tween market but we’re pretty sure there will be more than a few adults checking out the on-trend shades.

Taylor Lautner Heading Down Under
Twilight fans; brace yourselves.
Taylor Lautner is going to be visiting our shores in just a few short weeks!
It will be Lautner’s second time in Australia, this time to promote his upcoming action-thriller Abduction.
He is set to make appearances in Melbourne on the 21st of August and Sydney on the 23rd of August, when he will be meeting fans on the red carpet of the premiere and will even attend private screenings of the movie with some competition winners.

Kate Bosworth’s New Man and New Hair
After a big break-up, often women hit the bottle. The bottle of hair dye, that is.
After her split with True Blood heart-throb Alexander Skarsgard, Bosworth did exactly that, dipping the tips of her blonde locks in a blue/green dye.
And what better to go with a new hair do than a new man, right? The 28-year-old actress was spotted in Los Angeles catching a Coldplay gig with director Michael Polish.
The pair looked like they were very much more than just friends, kissing and cuddling throughout the whole show.
What do you think? Rebound or true love? Only time will tell!

Hooked On Recycling

Posted: 04 Aug 2011 02:04 PM PDT

 Luxury Shift: Recycled products that rival those from the best fashion houses in the world.

Just about everyone knows that one of the easiest ways to be environmentally friendly is to recycle. Sustainable style seekers have long been known to add breadth to their wardrobes with finds from thrift, consignment and vintage stores. More and more, the buzz is that fashion retailers are turning to reusable materials and some innovative techniques to get mainstream fashion consumers hooked on recycled fashion.

Born into one of Italy's most famous and important fashion houses, Camina Campus creator, Ilaria Venturini Fendi uses the family talent for fine craftsmanship to produce high quality products from recycled materials that rival those from the best luxury houses in the world. Her line's ongoing collaboration with the International Trade Centre and their Ethical Fashion Program—which seeks to improve working conditions for women in slums and rural areas of Kenya and Uganda—recently developed a capsule collection with legendary Milan lifestyle emporium, 10 Corso Cosmo. According to their journal, the lustworthy collection is made from recycled materials including "reclaimed military blankets and 10 Corso Como colorful fabric cuttings."

From Style.com's Style File, news of another retailer embracing recycled materials came from a fashion editor who got a glimpse of Club Monaco's under-the-radar recycled repurposed vintage military collection due to hit stores this fall. She reports that "while in London, Club Monaco's design team hand-picked one-of-a kind men's vintage military jackets at Portobello Market and reformatted them into parkas, vests, and jackets for women.”  Authentic but altered for an updated, modern look, the line is sure to be a hit with eco and mainstream consumers alike. The 20 piece collection priced from $ 149 to $ 199 will be available at select Los Angeles and New York Club Monaco stores.

Oxfam, the U.K.'s Goodwill, have developed a truly innovative way to connect consumers to the fun of thrifting. The Oxfam Curiosity shop, a pop up store in London's world-famous Selfridges store has partnered with Tales of Things to create QR code tags for many of the celebrity donations and vintage selections. According to PSFK, customers can "scan the mobile tags using their smartphones or any of the store's bespoke RFID readers to reveal video of the associated celebrity explaining the charity and talking about the history of the item."

With our culture's voracious appetite for fashion and celebrity media, and, in turn, fashion and celebrity media sharing an unending appetite for newness, it seems logical to think of a future where everything has to be re-used and regenerated. For trend watchers, recycled fashion—the concept of taking something old and working it into something new—might yet be the most exciting style scene to track.

Lustables: Bullet Casing Petal Necklace

Posted: 04 Aug 2011 10:03 AM PDT

Beauty turns up in the strangest places.

I love when you first look at this necklace from VivaTerra it looks so sweet. Don’t get me wrong, it is but that the brass casing are actually from a rifle range gives the sweetness, a little edge.The resourceful designer and metalworker who finds the brass bullet casings that she re-purposes as glittering jewelry, hammers flat the shells of fired rounds, then assembles them into a loop of cascading flower petals strung on Japanese tasso silk.

Wear this and it’s like a powerful amulet that keeps negativity away.

Classic Moments: Queen Elizabeth’s Wedding Dress

Posted: 04 Aug 2011 10:03 AM PDT


Royal Wedding Dresses are an interesting subject as there are many rules and regulations as to how they appear and of course, because of who wears them, they become an important part of history.

Royal Weddings are an enormous part of public life, as we saw with the vast number of people who lined the streets to see Kate Middleton drive past. Interestingly, it was Queen Victoria who brought about this tradition, when in 1840 she changed the timing of royal weddings to daytime. This was the first time that the public could line the route, which added a significant amount to the excitement.

A Royal wedding dress that I learnt about at a Chertsey Museum study day (subject: Wedding Dresses) was the dress worn by Princesss Elizabeth for her wedding on November 20 1947, which due to WWII was a difficult time for the country (and in fact the world). The economy was in crisis and extreme rationing was in place, which meant that the dress that Princess Elizabeth wore could not be as extravagant as usual. The designer was Norman Hartnell, who was given just three month's notice. Princess Elizabeth was gifted extra rationing cards by the British Government to enable the dress to be made.

Princess Elizabeth's dress had a sweetheart neckline (as can be seen in the image above) and the sleeves pointed over her hands. The dress used some English silk, as patriotism is always important. Metal thread and seed pearls were also used, which was very difficult to find. But the fascinating part of the dress was the symbolism in the embellishments. The influence came from a painting that depicts the goddess of spring decorated with flowers. Princess Elizabeth's dress was embroidered with starflowers, to indicate a brighter future.

This dress served a political as well as romantic purpose, in times of war and hardship the country always needs a boost of spirit, something that a Royal Wedding can certainly do.
