As anyone who’s ever permanently “borrowed” a pair of ankle boots from her sister can attest, there’s no better partner-in-wardrobe-crime and closet collaborator than a sister–and this year, Vogue‘s best dressed list honors the stylish duos who share DNA with a list that consists strictly of sister acts.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen top the list, a choice that makes me giddy but I’m sure will cause a few raised eyebrows. The rest of the chic siblings?
– Dakota and Elle Fanning
– Claire, Virginie, Jenna and Prisca Courtin-Clarins (you probably haven’t heard of them yet, but you soon will–they are all over the Paris fashion scene and dressed to kill!)
– Ruby and Lily Aldridge
– Poppy and Cara Delevigne
– Bianca and Coco Brandolini
– Beyoncé and Solange Knowles
– Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon
– Pippa and Kate Middleton
– Kate and Rooney Mara
Surprise, surprise, there’s not a Kardashian in sight! I also thought Sienna and Savannah Miller would make the list, but otherwise I think their choices are pretty spot-on. What do you ladies think? Check out all of the photos at Vogue.com, then tell us…could you and your sister land on a list like this? Are you guys known for being super-stylish siblings? Discuss!Read More Vogue…..
It’s been an eventful 365 days for one of Glamour magazine’s “Women of the Year” Jennifer Lopez.
The “American Idol” host, actress, designer, singer and actress saw her career come back in full force this year, returning to the television and music scene.
She was also picked for People magazine’s “Most Beautiful.”
But it wasn’t all great news. 2011 also saw the end of her 7-year marriage to Marc Anthony, with whom she two children.
Now the singer has been linked to actor Bradley Cooper and she is keeping mum on any relationship rumors in the new issue of Glamour.
“I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye,” she told the mag. ” You know the media—they want to rush everything.”
As for the demise of the relationship, she hinted that the problem may have been more about her own personal issues.
“I think I’ve finally learned the biggest lesson of all. You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else,” she said. ” You’ve got to value yourself and know that you’re worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship.”
The new issue of Glamour hits newsstands November 8.
Madonna’s iconic bustier sells for $72,000Hey everyone this is Nora Gasparian for Hollyscoop. Remember the infamous cone bra Madonna used to sport in the 80′s? How can you forget that right?Well, it was sold for a whopping $72,000 at an auction. Madonna’s iconic bustier sells for $72,000 Hey everyone this is Nora Gasparian for Hollyscoop. Remember the infamous cone bra Madonna used to sport in the 80’s? How can you forget that right? Well, it was sold for a whopping $72,000 at an auction this week. Clearly Madonna’s still got it! The custom made piece, created by Los Angeles based store Trashy Lingerie, was worn during her entire ‘Who’s That Girl’ world tour back in 1987. It went under the hammer in China and sold way above what they had originally estimated. The cone bra has actually been on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio and The Frederick’s of Hollywood Museum in Los Angeles since Madonna wore it in ’87. Madonna’s stylist and costume designer Martha Stewart (no, not that Martha Stewart) handpicked that outfit that took things in music to a whole new level during her first world tour 24 years ago.

co-hosted The Today Show representing our clothing lines! I wore a K-DASH for QVC top with our Kardashian Kollection for Sears pants!
Kim actually went on QVC that night and sold this top, which is now available on QVC.com.
Who saw Kim on the show? I also surprised her and called in while she was on the air. QVC is so addicting, once I turn it on, its hard to change the channel. This collection of K-DASH is by far my favorite one.
We are really learning about what our QVC customer wants from our line and getting more comfortable selling on air as well.

“My success lies within the ability to meet the needs of my clients and bring attention to their personal style,” says founder Meital B. “I have found my niche in selecting unique garments that make women feel good and I wanted to offer the same contentment to customers worldwide.”

Jennifer Lopez is in the house! And she’s making over eight O readers in her fabulous new clothing line. (Most pieces are under $100!)
In her 20-year career, Jennifer Lopez has been many things—Fly Girl, actress, singer, tabloid fixture, wife, mother, American Idol judge—but understated has never been one of them. When she arrives at O’s Manhattan fashion shoot in boyfriend jeans and teetering stiletto boots, not a hair out of place, the eight women we’ve assembled to model her new fashion line can’t help murmuring in amazement. Even off-camera Lopez doesn’t blend in.
Not that she doesn’t try. “Hi, I’m Jennifer,” she says, shaking hands with each of the women, among them a teacher, a lawyer, and a newly minted college graduate. They’re the reason Lopez is here; her brand-new collection of casually glamorous, uncannily flattering, expensive-seeming “movie star on the go” pieces (as O creative director Adam Glassman describes them) was designed for women like them. The line—from faux-fur vests to liquid-gold jersey tops, animal-print wrap dresses to comfy, slimming cocoon sweaters—debuts at Kohl’s in September in a generous array of sizes, with meticulous attention to fit.
Lopez insists she relates to these women’s concerns. “I’m a mom,” she says simply. “I work. I want comfort. But I want to feel sexy and modern. I think most women want the same things.” She says motherhood (twins Max and Emme turned 3 in February) hasn’t dulled her trademark body-conscious style—just made it slightly trickier to pull off.
Today Lopez will work behind the scenes to style our photo shoot. “This is overwhelming,” she says excitedly as the women—the first nonmodels she’s seen in her clothes—start playing dress-up. She helps Julie Seely, MD, a 55-year-old physician, pull on a tailored tweed top with a flattering cinched belt over black ponte leggings; Seely is duly impressed. “I need pieces I can wear to the office but also make a little sharper and classier in the evening,” she says. “I could wear this easily with pumps or flats.” Meanwhile, Jordan Tesfay, a 31-year-old lawyer, has slipped into skinny jeans and a formfitting tunic. “I feel fabulous,” she says. “This is snug in all the right places. I put it on and thought, ‘That’s me?'”
Lopez looks thrilled. While she’s sold more than 55 million albums and starred in films opposite George Clooney and Robert Redford, her previous forays into design “weren’t exactly what I wanted them to be,” she admits. This time she was adamant that the clothes be pieces she’d actually wear herself—and stayed involved in every step of the process to ensure her standards weren’t compromised. Judging by today’s results, she’s succeeded. Her pieces have a refreshing “9-to-9” versatility, Glassman says, meaning they up the wattage of an unfussy daytime look and, with the addition of a sparkly accessory, transition easily to nighttime.
When the women are decked out in a feminine palette of blushes, alabasters, grays, and creams, each piece hugging and accentuating exactly what it should, Lopez joins them on set for a group photo. “I wasn’t ready!” she calls to the photographer with mock-diva outrage, provoking laughter all around. But she’s completely sincere when she says, “This is the fulfilling part—to have women tell me, ‘This is so comfortable, it fits so well.'”
British born model Leilani Dowding and designer Una Malan crossed paths in Los Angeles in 2007. As destiny had it, they quickly became best friends and their passion for beauty inspired them to create their line of beautifully fitting, versatile dresses, LeilUna Collection.
“All of our dresses are extremely sexy, yet incredibly comfortable and easy to wear. It’s all about the cut and the way the fabric drapes – that makes all the difference” say the girls, who are quite often found on the Red Carpet or at Black Tie Hollywood events.
Part of the ingenious practicality of the collection is that the pieces are ideal for women who have to look like stars at a moments notice. Zipping around the world, both Leilani and Una have to deal with packing light and being able to look like superstars upon arrival to their destinations. LeilUna dresses, which come in a variety of colors in matte and sparkly stretch jersey, not only pack tightly and easily into your suitcase, many of them can also be worn as tops over leggings and jeans, adding many more style options without taking up hardly any space at all! The designs can be dressed up for a special event or dressed down for the daytime or a more casual dinner with a special friend. LeilUna Collection has graced two of the biggest music awards shows in the US and UK, having been worn to the Grammy’s and the Brit Awards. Their show stopping styles make women look nothing less than sensational.
“We create dresses that we really love and want to wear ourselves. We want to be able to grab any of them from our wardrobe and know that it’s going to look amazing, without having to try too hard”. While all of the pieces are stunning, Leilani and Una both agree on one thing “Our Classic Backless Dress is our absolute, go to, cannot be without staple for any evening or event occasion. It is our signature piece and we always have to check with each other before going out, so that we are not wearing the same one!”.
LeilUna Collection is a must for a woman who is a smart, savvy shopper and wants to look sexy and beautiful when glamour calls!
The collection can also be found in boutiques in California, Florida, New York and London, UK.

The beautiful 40-year-old German model Claudia Schiffer has recently launched the Cashmere Collection, a line of clothes that reflect her personal style. She had been encouraged many times during her career to create a collection that would bear her signature, but Schiffer said it was never the right time.
Now that the timing was perfect for her to venture on this road, the supermodel created a lovely feminine line of “clothes that I would want to wear”. Farves, these are all part of the cozy Cashmere Collection by Claudia Schiffer. Priced between £295 and £435 ($485 and $710), each piece was designed “for women who don’t have much time in the morning to get dressed, yet want to look chic”, as Schiffer herself describes the collection.
