Dior released a new campaign for the brand's latest Be Dior handbag featuring Jennifer Lawrence, who has been the face of the fashion house since 2013. With minimal make up and tousled hair, Jennifer Lawrence looks polished and radiant. According to People, photographer Paolo Roversi shot the photos in an architecturally minimalistic location in order to capture the “natural aura of Jennifer Lawrence.”

I’ve had my FitBit Flex for a few weeks now and while it can feel a little constraining to have something on my wrist 24/7, I really do like it. I haven’t set any specific goals but for the time being I’m enjoying tinkering with it and monitoring my steps taken and my sleep patterns. I set up the silent alarm for the first time last night and I have to say it’s an incredibly effective way to wake up as opposed to an alarm blaring next to your head. I can also see how it would be beneficial to have a personal alarm that wakes only you if you have a significant other who has a different sleep schedule.
I love my bright pink rubber band because it stands out and minimizes my chances of losing it but it’s definitely difficult to match with outfits and I’d like to be able to switch it up from time to time. Currently, there are three ways to accessorize your FitBit Flex.
1. Bracelet Cover

Etsy store FITnessBITsy has a variety of bracelet covers that go over your FitBit flex bracelet. They have a wide selection of different styles for different occasions, and will create you a custom bracelet based on how tightly you wear your FitBit Flex.
2. Bracelet Charm

Bracelet charms are a simple way to glam up your FitBit Flex as they can be attached to your existing rubber band. You can easily swap out charms to match your mood or style.
3. Caged Bracelet
bloomingdales.com
Tory Burch’s Caged Metal Bangle ($195), available in gold and silver, allows you to get rid of your rubber FitBit Flex band entirely by placing your tracker into the caged part of the bracelet. This is my favorite option out of the three (despite it being twice the price of the actual FitBit Flex itself) and I’m hoping other designers will soon follow suit with their own creative spin on the design.

Sometime between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., I was overcome with an overwhelming desire to purchase a pair of suede, over the knee boots similar to the ones Olivia Palermo wore for a photo shoot in New York City last year. I had a very particular image of what I wanted in my mind, and the only thing standing between myself and these boots (besides money) was the correct combination of Google search terms.
I knew I didn't want a really high heel or something too dressy. I wanted a pair of boots that would be able to transition from day to night and possibly back to day (amirite, ladies?). I wanted them to be fitted, be able to walk around all day in if necessary, and most importantly, be comfortable. The last requirement immediately eliminated a good portion of boots that are less than $50. Price doesn't always correlate to quality but on the same note, you get what you pay for.

Olivia Palermo's boots are made by Stuart Weitzman, the closest ones to the pair in the picture being the 'Highland' boot. I love the height of the heel and the slim 14" circumference of the boot but at $795 they're a little out of my price range and being 5"2, I'm pretty sure the 24-inch shaft would come up to the very top of my thigh.
My next contender was the Sam Edelman 'Kayla' boot which is a much more reasonable $285.
Unfortunately, the price is the only thing I really like about this boot. The heel is too high for me to reasonably be able to stomp all over town in, and the boot, despite having a 14.5" circumference, looks loose and baggy. I also hate boots that have seams along the ankle.

And just when I thought all hope was lost, I came across the Bannari boots on Aldo which met all of my requirements. Originally $250, they are currently on sale for $125. Aldo shoes aren’t made of the highest quality materials but they’re perfect to wear tirelessly and beat up without feeling bad about damaging. I’m loving the gray, as well, as they’re the perfect shade for spring but I figured I’d wait to see how the black pair fit first.

Olivia Palermo’s monogrammed, cashmere blanket poncho (which was Fall 2014’s must have piece) is no longer available as it’s from Burberry’s AW 2014 collection but you can find the dark grey check pattern on Burberry.com for $1,395. You can even get it monogrammed for a small additional fee of $300. Or check out these inspired styles:

Harry Belafonte, Rosario Dawson, and Patrick Demarchelier were honored at the amfAR New York Gala at Cipriani Wall Street on February 11. The annual black-tie benefit serves as the official kick-off to New York Fashion Week and honors individuals who have made exceptional contributions to amfAR and the fight against AIDS. The event raised more than $2 million for amfAR’s AIDS research programs.

Sometimes when I’m perusing high-end, retail websites such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Net-a-Porter, I like to select the ‘Price: High to Low’ option from the ‘Sort by’ drop-down menu. Not only because I want to see the most expensive, lustworthy pieces and decide which items I would buy — the same way I like to spend unhealthy amounts of time deciding how I would allocate my multi-million dollar winnings from the lottery ticket I never bought — but because I wonder who out there chooses this option automatically the way I choose ‘Price: Low to High’ or ‘Sort by Sale.’
From high to low prices, behold an assortment of gorgeous and unreal, masterpieces of art.

In anticipation of its live-action film, Cinderella, starring Cate Blanchett and Lily James, Disney recently asked nine fashion designers to create their own interpretation of the iconic glass slipper. This official Disney collaboration will be sold in shops around the world, including Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and Beverly Hills, Harrods in London, Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Excelsior Milano in Milan, Tsum in Mosco, Isetan Shinjuku in Tokyo, and The Dubai Mall in Dubai.
Disney tapped designers, in alphabetical order, Paul Andrew, Alexandre Birman, René Caovilla, Jimmy Choo, Salvatore Ferragamo, Nicholas Kirkwood, Charlotte Olympia, Jerome C. Rousseau, and Stuart Weitzman to design their own take of Cinderella’s famed glass slipper.
“Cinderella’s glass slipper has become a magical symbol of transformation,” said Jonathan Symington, vice president and general manager, licensing, Disney Entertainment at Disney Consumer Products. “Each pair of shoes in this exciting global collection captures Cinderella’s elegance and grace through the lens of celebrated designers, making this shoe collection truly fit for a princess.”
Swarovski, which produced the iconic glass slipper for the film, provided the crystals featured in the designers’ shoes.
This limited edition collection will hit stores in March in line with Cinderella’s March 13 release date.
1. Paul Andrew: “Cinderella's glass slipper represents every woman's dream shoe. The story, being a classic, inspired me to use my iconic pointed toe silhouette, which I embellished with an array of hand encrusted Swarovski crystals to create the ultimate fantasy shoe. I used transparent PVC to create a 'glass' effect and ivory suede for luxurious texture and dimension.”
Disney
2. Alexandre Birman: “My vision of the glass slipper was inspired by the timeless and feminine beauty that I believe Cinderella and the Alexandre Birman brand both share. I reinterpreted our classic Johanna pump, this time giving it a fashionable and romantic twist with satin and Swarovski crystals. It’s a shoe I imagine a modern princess would wear.”
Disney
3. René Caovilla: “‘Works of arts called shoes’ to grant wishes and raise emotions. Passion and never ending research don’t draw the line at fantasy and creativity. This is how dreams come true in our fairy tale.”
Disney
4. Jimmy Choo: “I think every girl desires a Cinderella moment in their lives. This story ignites a love affair and fascination with shoes that never dies. The power they have to transform is instilled from a young age and the fantasy remains alive forever. I wanted to create a shoe that felt magical, with alluring sparkle and a feminine, timeless silhouette evoking those childhood emotions.” - Sandra Choi, Creative Director
Disney
5. Salvatore Ferragamo: “The magic of a shoe that turns a woman into a princess and gives her the feeling of walking on clouds is a universal dream. A modern Cinderella fairy tale of rediscovering a soft sensuality and a powerful femininity. A shoe made of transparency and light: the cage heel, an iconic symbol of Salvatore Ferragamo, is covered with Swarovski crystals and is transformed by sparkling impalpability.” - Massimiliano Giornetti, Creative Director
Disney
6. Nicholas Kirkwood: “Cinderella has both delicate and strong qualities as a character. The moment of transformation emphasizes both and gave me the design inspiration to create a piece that spoke to the film’s magic.”
Disney
7. Charlotte Olympia: “I am delighted and honoured to be invited by Disney to design one of the most iconic shoes in history. It was such a pleasure to create my version of Cinderella’s glass slipper which I have aptly named If the Shoe Fits. This transparent platform shoe made with my signature PVC & perspex materials is adorned with star and crystal detailing as befits any princess.”
Disney
8. Jerome C. Rousseau: “The stroke of midnight is a wonderful element of the Cinderella fairytale, it adds tension and intensity to the story. I was inspired by that when I designed this style for Cinderella and the result is a dramatic midnight-blue glitter sandal on a sky-high heel. The clear strap is reminiscent of the crystal slipper, while the refined gold and silver trims add the right amount of whimsy to the design. I wanted to create something that, if left behind, the Prince would feel even more captivated by Cinderella’s allure.”
Disney
9. Stuart Weitzman: “Cinderella in 2015 has a timeless appeal. The diamond and translucent bootie enhance the vision I have of her.”

Last night, music artists, movie stars, and celebrities gathered at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry at the 57th annual Grammy Awards. It was a star studded affair as usual with amazing collaborations, performances, and can't-miss moments.
Grammys fashion is my favorite because celebrities push the envelope and take more fashion risks than they do at other awards shows. Here are a few of my favorite red carpet looks from Music's Biggest Night.

Few things make me feel sexier or romantic than when I’m walking around my apartment or curled up on my chaise lounge in a robe. And I don’t mean boring, terry cloth or cotton robes old men wear down the driveway to pick up their newspapers. I'm talking about silk, chiffon, and lacy robes that flutter around you with every step; delicately crafted pieces of art that you can wear over equally sultry intimates. Currently, I'm obsessed with L.A. based intimates brand For Love & Lemons, which is created by designers, owners, and BFF's (and surely, bossy gals) Gillian Rose Kern and Laura Hall. These gorgeous robes will put a completely new spin on your (and his) idea of lazy Sundays.

While Winter Storm Juno pounded locations from Long Island to New England with moderate to heavy snow, high winds, and coastal flooding for much of Tuesday morning, attendees at Chanel’s Spring 2015 Couture show in Paris were transported to a lush, tropical garden party.
According to Style.com, it took six months to make the 300 flowers that decorated the Chanel set. Dresses, skirts, and beanies adorned with silk flower appliqués floated down the runway. Let’s not forget these clothes are produced by hand – les petites mains, as the atelier workers are known at couture – and take hundreds of hours to produce.
Perfection.
