Usually made of cotton, or sometimes rayon, and has a satin-like finish. But not as lustrous as satin fabric. Variation of satin weave with filling yarn as floats over warp yarn. Often found in bed sheets but can also be found in clothing.
It's a battle of the supermodels. Bring it! First, Stephanie Seymour attended the 2008 Costume Institute Gala in this revealing sheer black maxi dress, which she chose to accessorize with long earrings. To the horror (or excitement) of photographers, Stephanie's nipple pasties showed with each flash. Next, and more recently, Naomi Campbell went to a dinner in honor of Nelson Mandela in the same sexy dress. I beg to ask the question: Is this really an appropriate dress to wear when hanging out with the president of South Africa? But back to who wore it better. Which see-through supermodel wins your vote?
Oxymoron is a Luella girl minus the Luella price tag. She loved the designer's floral tiered mini skirts, but since she didn't want to pay the high price, she found a look for less! Smart girl for wearing a simple black tee and allowing the cutesy skirt to shine.
Clearly, Dean and Dan of DSquared had fun with this collection. Then again, they seem to always have fun. Fun with male models, what? Quite a few of you fancied my Gucci boho boy so I'm wondering if you'd like to party with this Beat Street meets the Upper West Side guy. Pull the outfit apart and the clothes are cute, all together it's a hot mess. The orange argyle socks, not so much, but the blue polo atop ripe pecs, yes very much. Hottie or nottie?

PopSugarUK recently took a look at Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley on the red carpet at The Edge of Love world premiere in Edinburgh. While I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the film, what really interested me was the gals' attire. FabSugar picked up on how long and lean they looked, but I personally have been wooed by how dapper they looked in their menswear-inspired getups.
Flip-flop junkies unite! Havaianas.com is the site to check out for any rubber flopping connoisseur. Most of the time, I find flip-flops to be made and designed poorly. Havaianas, on the contrary, take their casual footwear seriously. They've been around since the 1960s and even boast a top-secret rubber recipe. Their redesigned site offers an easy shopping experience and amazing selection of flip-flops ranging from a jeweled encrusted limited edition collection to everyday basics. There's even a live IM chat feature, which allows you to ask questions or get help. Who'd ever thought shopping for rubber flip-flops could be so much fun?
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
