The word on the street is that Mike & Chris plan to redesign and re-launch its women’s contemporary collection for Fall 2010 (yay!!!). In order to do so it is bringing in brilliant young designer PJ Faulstick to give the line a fresh, new feel. The collection will feature classic pieces such as the motorcycle jacket, the hoodie, and the trench coat, all with an edgy twist. The garments will be made primarily out of top quality leather with softer detailing and a more feminine quality than that found in previous collections. This revamped new line will help to catch the eye of many new admirers, while at the same time appealing to the already dedicated brand supporters.

TopShop only recently launched a makeup line, so there aren’t that many videos yet, however I hope to see more looks from makeup artist Hannah Murray soon. My two favorites are “Midnight Eye” and “Glitter Cascade” — how about you? The Virtual Makeover is also a fun little tool to upload your pic and see how glam you can get!

The one thing that always remains the same across all of these styles? The ability to include a ‘stunner’ – a terrific accessory- be it footwear, earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, that give your lbd a tremendous amount of personality and individual style.

Dove Mist Event
I went to the Dove Go Fresh Mist event, and learned about how every Dove product is all about hydration and moisture, with the Mist line containing four scents: Revive, Burst, Energize, and Cool Moisture (and their corresponding deodorant/anti-perspirants as well.

Jane Iredale Event
I recently attended an intimate luncheon at Serafina to meet the lady behind the brand, Jane Iredale, and hear about the Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation on five of its most popular products – Dream Tint<, LipDrink and Powder-Me SPF in Tanned and Translucent.

Summer Entertaining with Bacardi Cocktails & Robert Verdi Event
I recently added Bacardi‘s Summer Entertaining Event hosted by Robert Verdi at Luxe Labratory. He had some great tips to offer up, such as being more eco-friendly by using bamboo plates instead of plastic ones, using brown craft paper as a tablecloth, and making a marshmallow roasting station on a hibachi grill.
