STELLA KIDS

STELLA MCCARTNEY is to launch a collection for GapKids and babyGap, it was announced this morning, and the British designer - and mother-of-three - couldn't be more excited.
"For years now I've wanted to create a collection for kids, it's something I've often been asked about," McCartney revealed. "I believe that this one off collaboration will be a great way for customers to be able to participate in the Stella McCartney brand."
The collection is set to launch later this year and will be available in Gap stores in the UK, France, Ireland Canada and Japan - as well as online and in stores across the US.
"I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate," the designer said. "It's really exciting for us to do a boys and girls collection for the first time."

Anna Wintour Left Jason Wu's Show to Go Watch Roger Federer Play

Anna Wintour arrived to take in Jason Wu's Cruise 2010 show at the Greenwich Hotel in New York, but took a phone call and left four minutes before the show started, leaving Wu's publicist confused. A Vogue staffer told Fashion Week Daily: “She had a plane to catch. But she saw Jason’s entire collection earlier and really liked what she was looking at.” Today, she showed up in Paris with boyfriend Shelby Bryan to watch her favorite athlete Roger Federer try to win the elusive French Open. Maybe she'll be meeting Bee Shaffer, who was in Venice yesterday, at some point?

Aw, you’re nervous. Biting your nails? Take those fingers out of your mouth.

Want to know where I’m putting mine? Under a heat lamp. To get your paws on the metallic, mirror-finished nail coverings, you have to warm them up.

That’s how those sun-kissed California girls do it. Just pick your brassy pattern: silver foil, pink leopard, gold lightning, chrome tweed, fishnet. Once your digits are buffed, decals are applied with heat and trimmed down to fit your nails. What do you mean you’re wet? No, baby, there’s no drying time.

Manis are chemical and chip free. Doesn’t that feel good? If they peel a little — prematurely — just run them under the hair dryer until hot to the touch.

That should satisfy you for at least ten days.

Alife Presents

Walk down Rivington Street on the Lower East Side, and at a point just before it crosses with Clinton, you may or may not notice a few doors marked only with plaques bearing the Alife logos.

Slowly but surely, the New York streetwear brand has taken over three storefronts next to and across the street from each other, and this month will add a fourth. Alife Presents, as the space at 157 Rivington is to be called, will be a gallery and event spot for the company who often host events in the backyard of their other stores.

Officially opening its doors on June 11 with a solo show by Kai Regan, the NY Alife Presents will be overshadowed by the opening of one in LA on June 16, complete with an appearance by Shepard Fairey for the launch of his Arkitip issue.

Comme des Garçons BLACK,

Comme des Garçons BLACK, a line consistenting of Bearbrick/Medicom collaboration pieces and Comme classics in what is essentially designer Rei Kawakubo's response to the recession, is due on 10th Avenue and 17th Street by the end of this month. It should arrive around the same time as a special BLACK corner in Barneys, which has an even more limited time frame of 2 weeks from its June 22 opening.

Kanye-isms

Hip-hop star Kanye West has just published a book of "Kanye-isms" with co-author J. Sakiya Sandifer. Entitled "Thank You And You're Welcome," the slim book contains 52-pages of West wisdom.

In a blog-baiting Reuters feature, West bragged about being a "proud non-reader," and said he hoped to avoid the "wordy and so self-absorbed" style of novels. His mini-book collects aphorisms and brief stories from the artist.

Here's a philosophical sample from the book: "When walking down the street, you can walk in one line perfectly without ever falling over. Now take that same city block, make it a foot wider and then put it a hundred stories high. You're going to be so focused on the fact that you don't have a banister, that you're more likely to fall because of it. When you're so focused on what you don't have...you won't have!"

Sea Level is a really helpful site that collects 'links to the concrete coast' – in other words, anything that has to do with water activities. You'll find resources for boating, kayaking, rowing, swimming,
surfing, conditions, gear, and more. I love the sea, boats, and water (though I'll admit to being the swimmer)
Next on my list of things to do is swimming lessons.

French Open...comeback comes up short

Marat Safin angered the French Open crowd with his antics, made them ooh and aah with his shot-making, and finally coaxed them into warm applause when he walked off center court at Roland Garros for the last time of his tumultuous career.

The former No. 1 went through it all Wednesday, but he couldn’t pull off another win, losing to French wild-card entry Josselin Ouanna 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), 4-6, 3-6, 10-8.

I heart Safin.

Richard Branson to buy Playboy?

Can Richard Branson be the new Hugh Hefner? Rumors are flying that the VIrgin Media tycoon is interested in the Playboy empire. The company has been allegedly shopped around for $300 million even though the market value is perceived to less than $100 million. Part of the reason for wide difference in figures is because the company wants to make sure that any deal will help Playboy's 83-year-old founder maintain his lavish lifestyle. Although one of Hugh Hefner's homes is on the market for nearly $28 million there is still main Playboy mansion and its tremendous upkeep to consider. He remains the editor of Playboy magazine and has said he wants to pass down his interest in the company to his teenage sons Marston and Cooper.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

"A sorcerer leaves his workshop in the hands of his apprentice, who gets into trouble when the broomstick he's tasked to do his chores for him somehow develops a mind of its own..."

So I've been running around the country a bit....but in between the chaos I had a chance to "star" in the new Disney Flick (big budget). Well not exactly "star" but I was a "day player" meaning I had 2 entire lines!
The Movie comes out July 2010...and I'm crossing my fingers my two lines don't get cut!

but the saddest thing was that an extra was killed while they were filming a car chase scene uptown..yes, acting can be quite dangerous.

up and coming movie director...hopefully I'll have a chance to collab with him this weekend--hollywood--here i come :)
or not.

If you're in London you have to stop by Fifteen....Each Fifteen restaurant has its own local identity and works to support its surrounding area. Once a location has been found, a charity is set up to fund and run the apprenticeship. All four restaurants pass up profits to their foundations.

Fifteen Foundation is a registered charity (number 1094536), founded in 2002, to take forward Jamie Oliver’s vision of offering young people a unique opportunity to change their lives by becoming chefs.

I heart Jamie--I swear it's the accent. hahaah..London is not known as a foodie place.
