With wedding season in full swing, I’ve put together four ensemble ideas, whether you’ll be in the desert, at a woodsy destination, a sprawling vineyard, or a city celebration. A desert (or beachside) wedding should be filled with bright pieces that mimic the shades of sunset. Bring along old Hollywood staples like an oversized hat [...]

This week, a whole new generation of college graduates enter the working world — armed with diplomas, a thirst for success, and an alcohol tolerance like no other. We'll spare you the sappy quotes of graduation speeches past (insert biting, yet humorous observation on the outlook of society and the need for a zest for life, here), but rest assured they've heard plenty in the way of warnings and advice. And, while we have no doubt that each and every one of you breaking into the workforce are more than qualified for your dream jobs (okay, that was a joke), we're going to be honest: Despite the fact that you are intelligent, hard-working, deserving people, there just aren't enough jobs to go around — some of you will join the ranks of the unemployed. Plus, there's that whole life-isn't-fair thing. While we wish we could use the magical powers of the Internet (or, that new 3-D printer invention) to summon careers for each and every one of you, what we can offer you is a shoulder to lean on, and a little bit of expert advice. After all, we've all been there — and by "there," we mean our bed, watching countless reruns of Sex and the City, wishing all those recruiters would understand how totally awesome we were. So, to do all of you job-seekers a solid, we hit up HR execs and happiness experts to bring you our ultimate guide to surviving unemployment. Read through to get started on your brand new life, and crack open a cold one while you're at it. Because, hey, it's not like you've got a job to get to. View the slideshow

The post How Do You Wear It? Spring 2013′s White Pumps Trend appeared first on The Fashion Bomb Blog : Celebrity Fashion, Fashion News, What To Wear, Runway Show Reviews.While we love to see how celebs are styled, it’s sometimes more interesting to see how real girls rip runway trends.

The post The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Rita Ora Dyes Her Hair Blue, Calvin Klein to Collaborate With Mystery Retailer, and Harrod’s Might Buy Versace appeared first on The Fashion Bomb Blog : Celebrity Fashion, Fashion News, What To Wear, Runway Show Reviews. • Rita Ora‘s got blue hair now. The singer took to instagram to show off her new coif, captioning the photo, “today it’s Smurf day :)” What do you think of her new hue? (@RitaOra) • Rihanna‘s designer reality series Styled to Rock is coming to the US. For the stateside version of the show, Rih’s tapped model and jewelry designer Erin Wasson to appear alongside Billionaire Boys Club boss Pharell Williams to serve as a mentor to the show’s eager contestants. (Vogue UK) • Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa let it slip to Fashionista that he is working on a collaboration with a mystery label: “I’m in the process of doing another line for somebody else, with another company, through Calvin,” he said. He would not reveal the name of the brand he is working with, but it’ll be interesting to see what he’s got up his sleeve! (Fashionista) • Italian sources are reporting that Qatar Holding, the Italian investment firm that owns Harrod’s, is looking to potentially provide financial backing for Versace. The label’s CEO, Gian Giacomo Ferraris, mentioned that Versace was “exploring options which could accelerate the brand’s further success.” Perhaps this might be one of said options? (BOF) • Back in January, Allana Maiden started a change.org petition requesting that Victoria’s Secret start producing bras for women who have had mastectomies. The lingerie retailer has released a statement explaining why they have not, and likely will not ever sell such a bra. According to the folks at VS, it’s just too hard to make: “Through our research, we have learned that fitting and selling mastectomy bras in the right way…a way that is beneficial to women is complicated and truly a science. As a result, we believe that the best way for us to make an impact for our customers is to continue funding cancer research.” Hmm… too difficult to execute, or too lazy to be bothered?

In the somber months after Hurricane Sandy, residents of the hardest-hit areas have found hope. But while home restoration and the implementation of longer-term preventative measures are crucial steps in the right direction, also important factors are reminders of the fun and beautiful things that life has to offer. So, Rent The Runway recently treated the students of East Rockaway High School, whose campus was severely devastated and displaced by Sandy, to a Dream Prom Styling Party. Featuring RTR designer dresses, styling advice from the company's Fashion Director Lucy Sykes Rellie, complimentary tuxedo rentals from Men's Wearhouse for the fellas, hair tutorials by Drybar, makeup tutorials by Lancôme, and shoes courtesy of Nine West, the occasion was only a taste of the glamour sure to be experienced at their upcoming prom in late June. The dance itself is to be co-designed and decorated by Rent The Runway and celebrity party planner David Tutera, and will feature a surprise celeb performance. The evening will surely be a midsummer night's dream to remember. Photo: Courtesy of Mikkel Mihlrad/Rent The Runway Read More

It's time to draw your loved ones close, jack up the bass, and kick back marg after marg till you get brain freeze. But before you go plan your own margarita-filled soirée, we thought you could use a few pointers from a pro. So, we called up DJ Jilly Hendrix — someone who's just as adept at party planning, cutting quips, and having a good time as she is at picking the best tracks — to show us how it's done. And, boy, did she ever. Not only did the lady turn Bowery boutique Dagny & Barstow into a swinging hotspot for the night with just the right decor, she roped in her seriously stylish friends to help her down all those delicious margaritas. Good thing we hooked her up with a flowing supply of our partner Grand Marnier (sub-standard margs would have killed this bash.)Click on for full party coverage, tips from Hendrix, and special surprise appearances from the ladies of Haim and The Man Repeller herself. Good times ahead! View the slideshow
