Kim Kardashian’s Wedding: Guest List, Dress List and Did Kendall Jenner Steal the Show

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 02:03 AM PDT

By Chloe Schneider

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are officially married! The pair walked down the aisle in front of 450 guests at a luxury estate in Montecito, California over the weekend.
Read on for all the details of the dresses, the guest list and to find out whether Kendall Jenner threw a Pippa Middleton by stealing the show.
PEOPLE and E! have exclusive rights to the pictures but luckily E! have released a few choice stills from the night to tide us over!

The Gowns
After Kim demanded her guests wear only black and white, speculation was rife the bride would be wearing colour but she proved us all wrong when she stepped out in an ivory gown.
Vera Wang, who was also a guest at the nuptials, was the designer of the custom gown that sounds every bit as extravagant as we have come to expect from Kim. Guiseppe Zanotti shoes complimented a tulle skirt with Chantilly lace detail on the strapless bodice and train. Her hair was up and her veil topped by a jewelled headpiece that dripped diamonds onto her forehead.
At the reception, Kim made two dress changes, both ivory Vera Wang gowns. The first was a mermaid gown with hand-pieced Chantilly lace appliqué, hand-cut organza petals, lace motifs and organza sprig embroidery.
When it was time to cut the cake, the third dress appeared, a crepe-back, V-neck satin gown with a circle skirt.

The Ceremony
Sisters Kourtney and Khloe served as co-maids of honor and both girls surprised us wearing ivory rather than green as trickster Kourtney had suggested in a tweet!  Half-sisters Kendall and Kylie and Kris Humphries sister Kaela were bridesmaids, also wearing ivory Vera Wang.
Kendall looked absolutely stunning and just about ready to get married herself in a mermaid gown. Before the night had even begun, Kendall was being dubbed ‘the next Pippa Middleton’ with much speculation the 15-year-old model would steal the show.
Mother of the bride Kris Jenner also wore Vera Wang, an ivory gown with a huge bow.
Koutney’s adorable son 21-month-old son Mason Disick was dressed in a little white suit and was the ring bearer, holding the Lorraine Schwartz rings safe.
Rob Kardashain was one of the groomsmen and wore a black peak lapel tuxedo, white shirt and black silk bow tie by Zegna who also dressed Bruce Jenner and William Humphries.
The family’s pastor Joel Johnson did the officiating in a traditional Christian service.

The Guests

All the guests were dressed in black and white, looking incredibly glam. Aside from the huge family, stars such as Demi Lovato, Ciara, Eva Longoria, Ryan Seacrest, Avril Lavigne, Ali and Lindsay Lohan and more were sitting in the audience as they watched Bruce Jenner walk Kim, holding a bouquet of white roses, down the aisle.  

It certainly was a huge event and we’re sure more details will be revealed in the weeks to come. The newlyweds are forgoing a honeymoon for now, allegedly delaying it until summer 2012 due to work commitments.

Kashing In
While most brides save for months (or years) for their big day, Kim seriously Kashed in, reportedly making US$ 17.2 million from her wedding! The photos alone were sold to PEOPLE exclusively for a clean US$ 2.5 million while the E! news special is set to make about US$ 12 – 15 million for the Kardashian empire. 
Not only that but Kim’s three Vera Wang gowns, priced at US$ 20,000 each were gifted. Nearly every detail from the cake to the flowers to the invitations were free or heavily gifted. 
The wedding rings by Lorraine Schwartz came to US$ 3 million but of course family friend Kim received a hefty discount! Even her cake was US$ 15 000 from Hanson’s Bakery. 
We knew the Kardashian’s were entrepreneurs but this is beyond!

Fashion Commentator Glynis Traill-Nash On The Best Accessories For Spring/Summer 2011/12

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 02:03 AM PDT

By Fashion Commentator Glynis Traill-Nash

Shoe shine

There’s a ‘40s flavour in the air this season. It’s more subtle than the ’50s, with less volume in skirts, waists fitted but not quite so nipped, gently fitting tops and blouses, and jackets with bold shoulders that predate the 1980s. Looking down, shoes are also taking up the ’40s feel, with thicker heels that aren’t (always) quite so teetering, rounder toes, often with ankle straps and T-bars. And the women of the 1940s were working platform soles well before we embraced them. Miu Miu’s glittery shoes are a modern take on the trend, while Gucci’s python heels (left) are at the sexier end of the spectrum. Maison Martin Margiela, Giorgio Armani, Diane Von Furstenberg, Christian Louboutin, Lipstik and Zimmermann have some great examples, from pumps to peep-toes.

Belt up

A skinny belt is the perfect finishing touch to your spring ensembles. Donna Karan, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci and Dries Van Noten all cinched waists with them in their most recent autumn/winter shows, but for spring bright colours are the go. A pop-bright belt will contrast perfectly with a black dress, or you can add to a colour-blocked ensemble for extra punch. Miu Miu, Jigsaw and Cheap Monday have colourful belts that will nip things in, while David Lawrence has glossy belts in a range of colours, including this purple one (left, $ 39; davidlawrence.com.au).

Make a statement

The quickest way to add glamour to your wardrobe is with a statement necklace. Think bold, think dazzling, thing BIG. (Think Lanvin, sigh!) Throw it on with a simple dress for a more formal evening, or with jeans a tee and a leather jacket for a fun night out. Hell, wear it out for breakfast if you like. The stores are awash with great pieces, from the bejewelled to the ornate, high end to supremely affordable. Brands including Lulu Frost, Tom Binns, Mezi, ManiaMania, Monet, House of Harlow and sass & bide have great examples. But my particular favourite is this slightly creepy necklace from Bottega Veneta (left, $ 4,380; 02 9239 0188). Remember, Big Brother is watching.


Bag it

There’s a practical streak in bags this season. Suddenly it’s cool to have a useful cross-body bag that might fit even more than an iPad and a spare pair of ballet flats. Go figure. Proenza Schouler started it off a couple of seasons ago, and still have some very covetable examples, but other brands including Mulberry, J.Crew, A.P.C., Lanvin and Mossimo have been quick to pick up on the trend. Everything from schoolboy satchels to rucksacks and simple totes—all with extra-long straps—are suddenly the go. This one from Fun Accessories ($ 39.95; funaccessories.com.au) hits the spot.


Festival frenzy

Sydneysiders are getting prepped and primped for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Sydney, which starts this Tuesday. The schedule is filled to bursting with catwalk events open to the public, centred conveniently at Sydney Town Hall. One of the highlights of the schedule is the nightly

review of Australian Fashion Week—the perfect way to get the best of the season ahead. For more information, including the full schedule, head to http://mbffsydney.com.au/homepage. Tickets can be bought at Ticketek, and while most shows are nearly sold out, there are some last-minute two-for-one deals for select shows at www.ticketek.com.au/2for1. Then get set to get shopping!

Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Sydney, August 23–27

Sneak Peak: Newest of 10 LEGO Architecture Building Sets

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 06:03 PM PDT

Adding to their growing collection of architectural LEGO sets, the latest in the line will be the famous Robie House, one of the American Institute of Architects’ top ten most significant works of architecture from the 20th Century.

This Modernism-influenced, Prairie Style classic features quintessential Frank Lloyd Wright design choices including a strong horizontal emphasis, winding entryway and experiential rather than centralized interior plan – and hits the stores next month.

Other LEGO buildings by America’s most well-known architect include the Guggenheim Museum, which spun the traditional flat-floored, rectangular-walled museum concept into a dynamic spiral …

… as well as his most world-renowned work of all: Falling Water, a gorgeous stone-and-concrete house overhanging a waterfall in a picturesque forest.

And finally, from the same LEGO Architecture Series: the Farnsworth House (another Moderist award-winner), the Empire State Building, Rockafeller Center, The White House in DC, Seattle’s Space Needle and the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Regarding the newest set in the series, the Robie House: “All purchases directly support the restoration, preservation and education programs of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. LEGO Architecture products are also available at museum and specialty gift shops or online.”

3 Makeup Color Combinations That Don’t Work (So Don’t Even Try Them)

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 10:03 AM PDT

What the mall makeup-counter ladies say isn’t always right.

Come closer. We need to share something but we don't want the Internet to hear. Ready? Okay. Sometimes our makeup looks bad. Okay, really bad. Like, eighth-grade picture bad, when you're combining braces, big-framed glasses, and hair you haven't figured out quite how to tame yet.

How does this happen into our adult years? We're not quite sure. Maybe we're swayed by catchy magazine layouts that promise the latest trends that don't translate off-page. (Or they do translate, but they read: clown.) Maybe we're influenced by a makeup artist who sits us in a department store chair and plies us with powders that look great under fluorescent lighting, but look fluorescent under the light of the sun.

Or maybe, it's time for all of us to just take a stand and say NO MORE to certain makeup trends and tap into what feels right to us. Regardless, here’s a few combos we advise you steer 100 miles clear of.

Blue eye shadow and red lipstick
Blue was once the glory of all eye shadow. We plied it across our Barbie's lids, convinced it was the most fabulous accessory short of the silver saddle jauntily sitting across a My Little Pony. Now, blue eye shadow, especially when matched to red lipstick, is like the Sasquatch of makeup. It sounds interesting in theory, but we have yet to see it work in person.

Matchy-match eye shadow and lipstick
Pink and pink? You look like you've escaped from your hospital bed and are about to start a zombie plague. Blue and blue? You've already started the zombie plague. There's not a color match on planet Earth that can work on any complexion without completely washing it out. Seriously, Stephen Hawking would back me up on this. It's a law of physics.

Black eyeliner and nude lips
This is perhaps the most controversial of our bad color combos. Black eyeliner, artfully applied, is the ultimate tool to make eyes pop. But combined with a too-pale lip? Your eyes are popping while the rest of your face looks like it's given up and gone to bed early with a glass of warm milk.

Modular Loop Chair Serves a Twelve-Fold Function

Posted: 21 Aug 2011 10:02 AM PDT

Click here to view the embedded video.

The seven modular folds of the Loop Chair grant it a twelve-fold function.

Modular: constructed with standardized units or dimensions for flexibility and variety in use.

It’s the “flexibility and variety in use” part that makes modular design so sustainable, because if one item can be modified and serve a range of functions then you don’t need to use additional resources to create multiple objects.  We’ve seen this concept applied to a number of designs – from modular toasters that allow for parts to be added based on the growth of your family, to modular women’s shoes with alternate heels, and even modular multipurpose furniture.  The Loop Chair, designed by Israeli designer Boaz Mendel, is another such innovative modular design that brings us 12 different functions for the price of one item.

"modular chair design"A chaise-longue chair, a bookshelf, a coffee table, a television chair, a barstool – the Loop Chair can serve all of these functions and more.  The design is flexible, yet surprisingly stable once fixed in its desired position (as you can see in the video clip above).

"modular furniture design"The loop itself is made of seven boards of varying lengths.  In Mendel’s own words, “the complete object is a platform for the creation of a wide variety of furniture.  Folding the hinges and affixing the shape with the help of special connectors produces a different piece of furniture in each different state.”

"multipurpose furniture design"The design is intended to be simple enough for anyone to modify, but also comes with an instruction booklet to help with assembling the different shapes.  A special case containing this booklet and rods that are not being used accompanies the product.

Change the Loop Chair, according to Mendel, “with great ease and according to one’s personal whims and needs.”
