"If everybody is wearing the same costume, where's the fun in that?" Philosophy from @WanderlusterNY:

Maurice, Paul and Armand Marciano, brothers and cofounders of Guess, have acquired Wally’s Wine & Spirits:

While we have never covered him on our site, Refinery29 editors (and we would guess readers, as well) were deeply affected by The Sopranos. Or perhaps, True Romance, or Zero Dark Thirty. Or even Where The Wild Things Are, another one of James Gandolfini's works. Which is why the death of Mr. Gandolfini is particularly emotional — He wasn't just Tony Soprano, he was one of the greatest character actors of our generation, turning abrasive, one-dimensional figures into true humans. Always playing the tough but surprisingly sensitive role, the New Jersey-born actor passed away today in Italy of a heart attack when he was in Sicily for a film festival. As a site, and as people who enjoy both cinema and television, our hearts are broken — we've lost a great actor today. Our thoughts to his family, and of course, the fans of Gandolfini's films, too.

The post Show Review: Mary Katrantzou Resort 2014 appeared first on The Fashion Bomb Blog : Celebrity Fashion, Fashion News, What To Wear, Runway Show Reviews.Mary Katrantzou‘s first resort offering is in a way, all about expanding one’s horizons. The designer used photographs from her own travels to create a new crop of those stunning digital prints from which she’s made her name. How fitting an inspiration for a first collection heralding the expansion of her flourishing label. Katrantzou superimposes scenes from Europe, Asia, and South America to tailored dresses and separates. Included are scenes of French flower fields, images of apartment buildings in São Paulo, picturesque views of the Swiss Alps, a Japanese bridge, and more. Katrantzou brings her prints into the third dimension with embellishments like perspex squares in the windows of her apartment building patterns, and beading on a yellow floral jacket. This is another beautiful collection from Katrantzou. It’s nice to see her using color again (her Fall 2013 offerings were particularly moody,) and the landscapes are simply breathtaking. I’ll bet we’ll see Solange Knowles bopping around in one of these pieces. The sweeter, rose-printed looks might suit Selena Gomez and I imagine Lala Anthony might rock one of those biker jackets.

"I mainly do business with men, and I think my chameleon color always shocks them" @MoltonBrownUK's CEO speaks:

INTRODUCTORY BEAUTY RANT When Beauty Editor Kristina waved her hands around while talking the other day, with ELES’ 3-free Othello Orange nail polish on her fingertips, it looked like strobe lights were shining out of her fingers. No kidding, this stuff is bright in the best way possible. Naturally, I had to give it a [...]The post Tried & Tested: ELES Nail Polish in Othello Orange appeared first on dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com.

Maxime Simoens' resort lineup focused on what the designer called “cool” daywear done in powerful, graphic combos:

Get a real good look at my right cheek. How about it? I love this blazer {?}. I’m not sure what to call it because it’s extremely light weight and sort of flows more like a cardigan than a blazer. But I’m a big fan of the high low proportions created by the blazer-tank combination. I believe… yes, I’ve posted about this very thing before. Well, at least I have a constant opinion!

Ankle boots are to me, what a bob cut is to Anna Wintour, what pajamas are to B1 and B2, or like what Ryan Gosling is to 18-40 year-old women. They are probably (certainly) the most adored section of my wardrobe. If I could they’d rest on purple velvet cushions, sprinkled with glitter and dusted [...]The post Do’s & Don’ts: How to wear ankle boots appeared first on dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com.
