It's here.

... and looking so much more fabosh than the last!

Weekly Celebrity Faceoff

Cut-out dresses have been popping up everywhere.  This week, Rachel Bilson sported this trend in a cut-out white dress.  Rachel has always been one of my celebrity fashion icons, but I'm not a fan of this dress on her.  The ruffles seem like they started off as a good idea, but ended up looking like a wrapped towel (and doing nothing for her shape).  The corset structure adds to this cut-out dress looking like a bra (an uninteresting bra in white).  All this together with the bedroom eyes and morning-after hair make an otherwise stunning woman look like she could use a venti cup of coffee. 

Here's the list again as clean as I can make it:

• Tacky corset bralette - NO.
• Unflattering wrap-around babydoll towel draping - NO.
• Overall structure - NO.

On the other hand, Demi Moore looked ravishing in her pink backless mini with a petite ruffle tail.  The structure of the dress is modern sexy and sophisticated conservative.  Additionally, the dress also works in subtle floral embellishments (which you all know I've been raving about) in bright peony tones.  What a breath of fresh air for Spring!

List:

• Gorgeous figure flattering silhouette (includes back ruffles) - Yes.
• Surprise element: backless - Yes.
• Choice of color: feminine and fresh - Yes.
• (Floral embellishments - Yes!)

Stunning!  What do you think?

Karl Lagerfeld Coke

French etailer Colette collaborated with Karl Lagerfeld to give you Coke Ligh the Lagerfeld way.  Each bottle goes for $4.71 while the box set sells for slightly over $80, not including shipping from France, of course.

This favorite drink of women has called upon the genius of Karl Lagerfeld to dress the Coca-Cola light aluminum bottle. The designer affixes his style and his famous silhouette on the bottle and delivers an exclusive creation with chic lines and also a unique box in limited edition, accompanied with a bottle-opener discreetly hidden in a drawer. The Coca-Cola light box by Karl Lagerfeld is the must-have of the season! On preview from April 24th !

The box set comes with a hidden bottle opener.

I also love their dressed up Pom.  Oh, zee French!

Perfume... Bottles.

Navigating the perfume aisle at the department stores overwhelms me.  

Like your mutual fund, every beauty house offers a diverse scent profile in addition to their staple signature scent.  If that's not enough, celebrities looking to expand their empires (and relevancy) offer you their stardom capitalized capture in a bottle (for the record, J.Lo now has five versions of her hit signature scent Glow:  Blue Glow, Sunkissed Glow, My Glow and Glow After Dark and three additional scents, Live, Live Luxe, and Still).  

All this confuses me.  A lot.

But what I do like about perfume is discovering that surprise pop of design in an otherwise boring fashion category.

DKNY took their design inspiration literally and created these bottles for their "Candy Apple" line:

Red:  Candy Apple Rasberry   |    Green:  Candy Apple Caramel

I guess they thought the design to be so clever, they used it for even non-candy scents:

Left:  DKNY Fresh Blossom    |    Right: DKNY Limited Edition Pink Deco Art

The Art Deco is adorable, but looks almost like a car freshener.  The candy apple colors deliver a slight sting to the eyes.  Otherwise, kudos for being original.

Although I'm slightly less intrigued by Gwen Stefani's Harajuku line, I looove the idea of grown women being able to bring home their own dolls!

If I could bring one home it'd be Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties Love (a girlie-girl mouthful!):

How fun and adorable is she!? 

I'd love to have her sitting on my vanity reminding me to have fun.

The boxes deliver just as much personality as its dolls:

Which one would you bring home?
