Paper is the new Gold! Okay even I don't believe that but I recently saw some innovative paper jewellery that made me consider that possibility. The beautiful paper creations are designed by Sarah Kelly of Saloukee Designs and made from laser-cut paper. I was mesmerised by the craftsmanship and artistry. I really like the line its like art meets origami meets jewellery meets amazing. Make sure to visit the official Saloukee website its truly spectacular.
"Saloukee designs are collections of innovative & unique creations, made in paper. Inspired by the transient nature of trends in historical & contemporary fashion, creates pieces of lasting beauty without a lasting ecological impact."

Beauty Confessional, beautyconfessional, news, Sienna Miller, Vogue
Sienna Miller is once again on the cover of US Vogue. The cover was shot by photographer Craig Mc Dean. This is Sienna's first US vogue cover since the documentary about the their September 2008 issue aired. The documentary was a sneak peak behind the process that went into creating the September Issue. IN the documentary staffers are complaining about Sienna being too "toothy" having "too many fillings" and "unruly hair". They even took her head off one picture and stuck it on another.
Sienna obviously didn't take it personally because she is back on the cover once again.

I have always liked Jane Norman. Its one of the few high street brands that never dissapoints me. These images are from their Spring Summer 09 campaign. It's young, sexy, fun, fresh and very high on femininity. I particularly like the photo above with the blue embellished bust line and the snake print clutch. Call me bizarre but everytime I see anything from Jane Norman I think of Regina George and the plastics from Mean Girls. They would so wear Jane Norman.

Kendra Spears is offically on the cover of July Dazed and Confused. About a month ago i posted a leaked version of Kendra Spear's cover that I was sent by someone saying they were a "Dazed & Confused Intern" but I was quickly asked to remove it by Mariano Vivanco's team as it was just a mock-up cover and was not meant for public eyees.
The official cover of Dazed & Confused has now officially been revealed and the July 2009 issue features Kendra and the words on the cover read "Rip it Up: and Start Again". I am glad to see that Kendra Spear' cover came out as I thought that it had been dropped. It is the best cover that Dazed & Confused has had this year.

1. Tell us a little about yourself – (where you grew up, your life now – anything you wish to tell)
I was born & raised in the UK. But I have a mixed blood line, and family all over the world. Kind of convenient for me really, I usually do at least 3 trips a year to see my family, so on top of fashion seasons I usual get to visit Italy and the middle east.
2. How did you get involved in modelling?
I was first scouted a few years back now. I was in the middle of my degree in London, and really didn't have the time to consider anything other than my work and my sport. But once university was done, I could really concentrate harder on my career in media. So I started out by joining a small agency, my first job was at London fashion week, and since then I've looked to grow and work harder and harder every day. Im just so lucky to be in an industry I love.

David Beckham's Emporio Armani Underwear ads were revealed just a few hours ago at Selfridges in London. The underwear ads were shot by photographers Mert and Marcus.
“David has a great sense of style and is an inspiring role model – this is what makes him the perfect partner for Emporio Armani underwear. I am very excited that David Beckham’s new campaign image was unveiled exclusively in his home country and where better than at such an iconic retail destination as Selfridges,”- Giorgio Armani.
Apparently, although there is a huge Tube strike in London thousands of people still managed to show up at Selfridges for the launch of David Beckham's Emporio Armani Underwear campaign. Talk about being die hard fans!!!!
What do you think of David's hair in the ad? Do you like the slick look?

Resort 2010 collections are currently on display at Style.com. The latest offerings are from British design team Preen and Stella McCartney. Both preen and Stella McCartney have great collection. However, for resort wear Preen's collection is quite on the dark side. However the Preen Resort collection has lots of shimmering fabrics so it detracts from the dark colour pallette and there are some bright colours infused the collection (like the sexy pink dress above).
Stella has a included her jumpsuit from the Met Gala in her Resort collection.There are also lots of loose fitting floral patterned dresses, perfect for lounging around on holiday.
Both collections can be viewed at style.com

The Bless Duo- Fringed Glasses really are getting popular. Ever since Beyonce wore Fringed Glasses in her Diva music video they have been popping up everywhere.
The most recent place I have seen fringed glasses was in an editorial for L'officiel Homme. Sean O'Pry was photographed by Milan Vukmirovic wearing a pair of fringed glasses. These glasses are a bit more extravagant than the Beyonce version as they have got even longer chains ( and are practically unwearable). I am not sure if the Bless Duo made these glasses but I expect to see loads of people wearing these glasses this summer as I think they are this years statement glasses.
