Another in Los Angeles, at an whopping 85,000 square feet. According to WWD, that not all of the same stores have the same aesthetic, but prepared yourself if it looks anything like the la store. It is all things Forever 21:  The extended sizes line, heritage,  kid's line, men's clothing, all the makeup and beauty products, the slightly-higher-end Twelve by Twelve, and full rooms devoted to shoes, underwear, jewelry and accessories.

Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 collection

Karl Lagerfeld continues to surprise us in the collection for Chanel, at the Paris Spring/Summer 2010 Haute Couture season.  The traditional Chanel suit, was revamped, the slim A-line skirt being replaced by shorts, and trimmed by delicate lace. The pastel tweeds had lost their classic braid trimmings and were piped with silver, to match the silver leather half-gloves (an ode to k.lagerfeld himself- and the silver shoe-boots with carved heels and pearl trimmed soles.

 Karl referred to the collection as "neon baroque" an assortment of acid yellow, candy pink and flourescent lime shades which look like frosting on a cupcake, pastels, champagne and cream, and an slither of black in a tie, embellished with a fantastic crystal brooch which is displayed on a sophisicated, white silk, column evening gown.

My favorite piece of the collection was the bridal gown with an jewelled bodice and sleeves. The ruffled cloud confection of the train was utterly breathtaking.  Anna Wintour, sat front row, including Claudia Schiffer; Kanye West and his girlfriend, Amber Rose, who was wear a hooded gold Chanel Catsuit; and the 13 year old fashion blogger, Tavi Gevinson, with her gray hair wearing a pill-box hat.

The Lady Gaga Barbie Doll!

Wherever, I turn my head there's got to be something related to Lady Gaga! This time, Gaga has been transformed into Barbie! Veik a 29 year old doll maker from Beijing has been giving Barbie some pizzazz, styling them after some of Lady Gaga most memorable outfits. This is not an average DIY'S grade-school project, either, since Veik has all the details down to a science from the fantastico Alexander McQueen

lobster claw shoes to her ever changing hairstyles.
