Tara Block — Thu, 24 May 2012 04:00:46 PDT

We thought we'd seen everything when it came to types of wedding-related goods, but apparently not! For Winter brides looking to stay cozy on their big day, Ugg Australia has released a wedding collection. We never thought we'd see wedding Uggs, but then again, we were also surprised to see wedding Toms. But as weird as the sheepskin bridal shoes may seem, they are far from the strangest wedding product out there. With toilet paper or beer koozies, companies have gotten very creative with their wedding paraphernalia. Check out these offbeat gifts, decorations, and accessories and tell us: do you find them funny and festive, or just plain tacky? Weigh in now!

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 08 May 2012 05:42:02 PDT

Macy's has nabbed Nicole Richie as the next designer for its Macy's Impulse capsule collection series. "With each collection I do, it all starts with music," said Richie. "Music is the driving force behind my inspiration." The limited-edition collection, launching online and in 100 Macy's stores in mid-September, is set to feature 30 pieces highlighting a mix of masculine and feminine pieces, via a bold peacock print from Richie's archives, bright colors, pretty chiffon pieces, faux leather, and tough zipper details. Furthermore, Richie says her line, "represents the many different layers of a modern woman. Women are wearing so many different hats these days. We are evolving." Previous designers who collaborated with Macy's include Karl Lagerfeld, Giambattista Valli, and most recently, Alberta Ferretti. Stay tuned for photos from Nicole Richie's collection for Macy's, but for now, see some of our favorite pieces from Nicole's Winter Kate and House of Harlow Fall line in the slideshow.

First Look! Gap Shows Cool Classics For Its Fall 2012 Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 04 May 2012 13:06:50 PDT

Gap just previewed its Fall 2012 collection, and we're happy to report that the brand is heading back to its cool classic style. Staying true to its Americana roots, the brand created a covetable collection filled with must-have basics - with a refreshing twist. Tailored wool blazers were dipped in rich autumnal hues, sweaters were embellished with thoughtful suede elbow patches, and classic khakis and denim were translated into slouchy, modern silhouettes. Meanwhile, statement pieces, like printed trousers and dotted denim shirts, provided a novelty touch to the line. We especially loved the white long-sleeve shirtdress (perfect for Winter layering) and cute accessories via cozy scarves, wedge sandals, and colored ballet flats. Take a look at the rest of Gap's Fall lookbook now and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Victoria Beckham Continues Her Tour Across Asia With a Stop in Hong Kong

Katie Henry — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:34:57 PDT

Victoria and Harper Beckham jetted to Hong Kong yesterday after a brief stay in Beijing. Victoria's visiting Asia to unveil Range Rover's Evoque in addition to showcasing her upcoming Autumn/Winter 2012 Victoria Beckham collection to international buyers. Today, she modeled one of her own designs, a chic white dress paired with an embellished cardigan, for a promotional event at Hong Kong's Lane Crawford boutique.

The trip hasn't been all about work. Victoria's managed to squeeze in some fun with Harper and her close friend, hairstylist Ken Paves. Ken's been keeping her company and snapping photos of their wild adventure across China. He's also styling her hair for media events. Ken gave Victoria a baggy braid in Beijing and a similar style for today's photocall. Back in the States, Posh's husband David Beckham and his LA Galaxy teammates are prepping for a home game on Saturday against FC Dallas.

Victoria and Harper Beckham Make a Fashionable Impression on China

Harper Beckham, in tiny Converse sneakers and pink jeans, cozied up to Victoria today during an afternoon stroll through Beijing. Victoria spent the day with Harper then changed into a sexy red dress paired with a snakeskin clutch, from her Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, for an event at Joyce boutique. The mother-daughter duo flew to Asia last week prior to the big unveiling of Victoria's latest collaboration with Range Rover. Last night she stepped out in one of her own designs to celebrate the debut of her Victoria Beckham special edition Evoque.

David, and the boys missed out on the trip; however, stylist Ken Paves accompanied Victoria and Harper on the international adventure. Ken's been keeping Victoria's hair and makeup looking flawless during her press events, and she's documenting the process and updating Facebook and Twitter with their silly behind-the-scenes photos.

Nicole Richie Joins Forces With John Varvatos to Talk Fashion Star

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:35:00 PDT

Nicole Richie joined her fellow Fashion Star mentor John Varvatos in Pasadena yesterday afternoon for NBC's Summer press event. The pair was on hand at The Langham hotel to promote their series, which pits aspiring designers against each other as they compete to sell their wares on the racks of Saks Fifth Avenue, H&M, and Macy's. Nicole sported a laser-cut leather top for the appearance, and while she's built a successful fashion career of her own, she recently admitted during an interview that she doesn't sew! Instead, she said, her design process always starts with a great fabric. Nicole's recent foray into TV hasn't slowed her down when it comes to style. In fact, she just released the House of Harlow and Winter Kate Fall lookbooks and, earlier this year, also launched a special collection for QVC.

Winter Kate and House of Harlow's Fall Lookbook Shows Off an Updated Take on '60s Cool

Marisa Tom — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:37:00 PDT

Fall may seem like a far-off cry from the season in bloom, but we couldn't help but take a peek (and lust over) Nicole Richie's latest Winter Kate and House of Harlow autumnal wares. With Richie's signature brand of bohemian-luxe style ever present, we were delighted to note an edgier (read: rich jewel tones, plush velvet textures, and slick lasercut details) vibe in place. The collection is chock-full of '60s-inspired pieces - sheer herringbone blouses, wide-leg pants, and a plethora of oversize round sunglasses to start - that evoke a structured, geometric retro feel (hello Mad Men!) more than ever. Come chillier temps, we can't wait to rock an eclectic House of Harlow bone-wrap cuff with one of Winter Kate's vintage-looking pencil dresses. To tide us all over, we've pulled our top three looks below, then make sure to check out the rest of the Fall '12 looks in the slideshow.

Winter whites are a cold-weather staple, and to prove our point, we'll be wearing this ultrasheer white maxi dress with a quirkier set of accessories.
It's all about the Swinging Sixties for Fall '12, and what better way to capture the essence of that stylish era than with a distinct geometric print.
Update your floral obsession with an antiqued rose-print sheath - it's ladylike, sophisticated, and will look great against a luxe faux fur coat.
