New York Fashion Week marked the launch of Catherine Malandrino's first-ever jewelry collection. This is exciting news for the designer's followers because each piece was created to match her Fall '08 collection. Necklaces (as in left), rings, cuffs, and earrings in shades of green, cognac, charcoal, and black are composed of raw minerals and semiprecious stones like African jade, aventurine, tigereye, agate, and enamel. Sounds and looks exotic!
The collection will make its debut at the Malandrino boutique on Melrose Place in LA in the Fall.

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, chose a body-con Roberto Cavalli lace-trim dress for the Sports Illustrated 2008 swimsuit issue launch party. It's a fine choice considering the event and her fabulous figure. Her taupe version is sold out, but if you want the super-sexy dress, check out the black version ($1,730). Bellissima!

As I told you back in November, Heidi Montag is going to Heidiwood. Although Lauren Conrad was always The Hills girl with fashion-designer aspirations, Heidi decided to bring her short stint at LA's Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising to fruition.
She's collaborating with retail chain Anchor Blue on a line of junior apparel and accessories set to debut by April 15. Striped dresses, color-rich tanks, tees, black shorts, white-denim tops, bags, and jewelry are all in the works, priced from $10 to $60.
The partnership will continue for two more collections, and the Fall Heidiwood line is anticipated to involve sweaters and jackets in darker, autumnal colors. Heidi will also be featured in the Anchor Blue ad campaign beginning April 1. Joy. I wonder how it will compare with Lauren's collection?

Geometric necklaces really make bare necks more interesting. This Marni Geometric Necklace ($635), is something I'd love to place around mine because it would add a touch of artsy flare to my look. But it's so out of my budget.

I have always been drawn to exotic models (European mix white girl right here). However,
my favorite model of all time is Canadian, with a bit of Italian, Linda Evangelista, but really, she's the best. With today's girls, not only is there
not enough diversity but obscure looking blondes rule the runway. Whatever the reason may be, my eye goes to the exotic, interesting and girls who have personality. If I was a model right now, I'd want the looks of Brazilian born Bruna Tenorio (left at Oscar de la Renta).
She looks like an Egyptian princess with her strong nose, beautiful eyes and long, shiny mane. With Chinese, Japanese and Brazilian blood, it's no wonder she turned out so unique. To prevent me from doing a slideshow of only Bruna — I was
