    • Trend spotting: The return of the jean jacket

      The jean jacket trend survived through the 80s and the 90s...popped collars, acid wash rinses and all. After taking a few years off, it's back with a stylish vengeance.

As always, Hollywood has caught on to the return of the jean jacket. Above, check out some stylish ladies interpreting this classic piece and putting their own spin on it.

      Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton

      WWD recently unveiled the gorgeous Angelina Jolie as one of the newest faces to join Louis Vuitton's "Core Values" campaign. Lounging casually on a wooden boat on a lake in Cambodia's Siem Reap province, the actress still looks every bit the movie star in her own clothes and her own personal monogrammed LV tote. The tote is part of an older collection and it's rumored that the design might be re-released in some capacity to meet the demands that the ad is sure to generate.

    • 60% of women admitted feeling less in shape compared to other women on the beach
      60% of women admitted feeling less in shape compared to other women on the beach.

      A new survey from FITNESS magazine reveals that women are bringing body issues with them to the beach. 80% of women polled for the magazine's swimsuit survey say they feel other women are judging them when they wear a bathing suit and 48% say they'd only feel confident flaunting a bikini after losing more than 20 pounds.

      FITNESS magazine polled more than 1,000 women ages 18 and over- to get the scoop on how they really feel about swimsuit season, what celeb body they are dying to have and what they would give up to have a swimsuit model's body. The results appear in the June 2011 issue on stands now.

    • Trend spotting : Color blocking (Only the bold need apply)


      Rihanna's colorful outing

      We recently covered the hottest color of the summer and today, we're featuring something for the risk-takers. There's nothing new about the art of color blocking. Who could forget Grace Coddington's eye catching work (experience is probably a much better description) in the pages of Vogue. What's exciting about this art of dressing is that it gets more bold and more vibrant from year to year and never seems to lose it's "freshness". This style is most certainly not for the meek, it takes a certain level of confidence and audacity to walk in a color blocked piece. This past season, thanks to fashion houses like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Designers like Sonia Rykiel, we've been re-introduced to a really bold alternative. So the morale is, for those who dare, remember people will stare, some may even sneer but you'll probably be having too much fun to care! Here's to taking a risk in color…
