Kate Upton Looks Amazing Promoting Guess Accessories

I started following Kate Upton’s career after she appeared in Guess Spring 2011 campaign. She was so gorgeous on the images that I decided I had to know everything about this girl. Kate Upton is still the representative for Guess Accessories for Fall 2011 and she looks absolutely stunning on the photos. But she is not the only face of the brand now. Other beauties, including Sandrah Hellbergs and Amber Heard, join Kate to promote Guess clothing and accessories.

Speaking about the Guess Accessories campaign for Fall 2011 itself I can say it is interesting to look at. I love the bright colors and the very high quality of the photographs. Girls look really amazing on those.

Dressed in luxurious garments – leopard dresses and fur coats, vibrant asymmetrical tops and gowns, fashionable vests and shirts, sexy miniskirts and skinny trousers – Kate Upton and Sandrah Hellbergs pose with lovely handbags in hands, stylish watches on wrists, and plenty and diverse jewelry pieces in shape of hearts, teddy bears, and stars. But it’s fantastic Guess eyewear from Fall 2011 collection that attracts the most attention, especially the red-framed pair on Kate Upton where she is photographed with a little tiger in her hands.

Top 3 People on Lookbook

The community at Lookbook.nu is a diverse lot, coming from all over the world, but one thing they all have in common is their passion for fashion. They live it, breathe it and post it on Lookbook. Here are the top three stylists who have garnered the most praise.

1. Frida Johnson

Frida describes herself as a Swedish teenager who is “really passionate about fashion and clothing.” Her feminine, boho style manages to look carefree and put-together at once. She’s not afraid to take risks, pairing socks with clogs to give a flirty, floral dress a schoolgirl touch. High-waisted shorts and suede platforms show off her legs to magnificent effect. Her artfully tousled blonde locks paired with her light-hearted and sexy looks make it difficult to imagine Frida being stressed about anything.

2. Andy Torres

Andy is a Mexican “freelance stylist” and blogger living in Amsterdam. Her looks often incorporate a touch of retro: she doesn’t shy away from electric blue, bright pink, black leather and animal print, but she doesn’t overdo it, either. Andy’s looks display the understanding that the key to bold style is knowing the effect you’re trying to create. She does 80’s sophisticate in a sleek pencil skirt, and 80’s nightlife in a black leather top. Her nearly ubiquitous mod sunglasses work with just about every outfit.

3. Chiara Ferragni

Chiara struts her sophisticated and somewhat preppy style in the fashion capital of Milan. An internationally recognized style blogger, she’s been on the red carpet at Cannes and the Alberta Ferretti catwalk. She’s a versatile stylist, and looks just as sleek in long, flowing dresses as in tiger-printed mini-skirts. Black leather shorts look chic instead of sleezy when Chiara tones them down with a starched white shirt and flat loafers. Her style evokes swanky parties with celebrities, and even her dressed-down looks bring to mind summers in the Hamptons.

DIY Net Bag

After crushing hard on this vintage net bag spotted by Phil Oh on the streets of NYC, we knew we had to attempt to DIY it. Sprucing up a reusable cotton bag from the grocery store with some hardware and carabiners? Sign us up! In just a few simple steps, we’ll show you how to make our rendition of the net bag – perfect for a stroll in the park.

Supplies List

a cotton net bag (also available at Whole Foods)

2  carabiners (if you can’t find gold carabiners, you can spray paint them)

8 sets of 1/4″ screw posts

a flat head screwdriver

a pair of scissors

Start by cutting each of the straps down the middle, creating 4 loose straps. With a marker, mark 2 dots on each strap about 3 inches apart.

Carefully pierce a small hole through each mark with the tip of the scissors. Fold one of the straps through the carabiner, aligning the two holes with each other.

Push the screw post set through both holes and tighten with a screwdriver.

Add another set of screw posts about an inch of the way down for more support. Repeat the steps for the rest of the 3 straps.

Your bag is finished! You can also experiment with dying the bag a different color before assembling.

Attach keys, charms or pom poms to one of the carabiners and you’re all set!

How to Knot Your Clothes

All summer, we’ve been knotting our tops: button-downs, T-shirts, thin cardigans…you name it. But we’ve just discovered that the knot trend seems to be getting, um, lower. Exhibit A: Vanessa Hudgens’s maxi dress. The star paired her newly-cropped haircut with a simple pink tank dress—and then she went to town accessorizing it with a wide belt, clog-style heels and a tangle of long necklaces.

Who knows if she wasn’t feeling the length of the dress or if she just needed some extra ventilation, but she knotted the hem in a very cool way, which made the look exponentially more sexy. Plus, it’s a simple trick you can use to update whatever you pull out of your closet. Place the knot off to one side—showing off some thigh—and you’re ready to go.

Hello Kitty Debuts First Shoe Collection With Twenty10 Footwear- Would You Wear Hello Kitty’s Shoes?

We hate to part with childhood friends, and Hello Kitty is no exception. Considering Kitty is 36-years-old (and just welcomed a fashion-forward baby sister), it’s only natural that she’s working with the big girls now by introducing the Hello Kitty by Twenty10 Footwear line, which debuted their holiday 2011 and spring 2012 collections in July. The collection of rainboots, sneakers, and cutesy heels lies somewhere between youthful whimsy and grown-up charm. Clearly, these pretty peep-toes may not be office-appropriate, but for the formerly faithful Hello Kitty fan, we don’t doubt they can soon become a lovable favorite.

The Denim Jacket: A Blast From The Past Or Present Perfect?

It’s time to dust off your jean jacket. Favored by the likes of Ruby Aldridge, Liu Wen, and Hanne Gaby Odiele, the denim staple is making a bid to replace the leather bomber as model-off-duty topper of choice. This summer, bona fide celebs (Cameron Diaz) and burgeoning trendsetters (Pippa Middleton) alike have been spotted layering snug, faded ones over feminine looks for an edgy update. Speaking of edgy, we loved the acid-wash, pharaoh-embellished number that Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss wore to the Sasquatch festival this May. Same goes for Jonny Johansson’s heavily deconstructed indigo style from Acne’s Resort collection.

PG Bracelets Enhance Your Mood and Your Style

Do you ever find yourself choosing your clothing based on how you feel? Does your mood influence the way you accessorize your fashion? It can be a lot of fun to ‘wear’ your feelings on the outside in such an obvious way (well… most of the time). On the flip side, how about wearing something stylish that could act as inspiration for the mood you want to be in?

PG Bracelets, by Italian designer Paola Garofalo, are all about drawing on natural elements to stir your passions and bring you to a more lighthearted or peaceful place. The designs incorporate strong colors, different textured fabrics and metal elements to invoke a range of emotions. Vivid blues and smooth qualities suggest water, natural colors and rustic fabrics reflect the earth and passionate reds evoke fire. There is even a flag inspired line to show your patriotism or heritage

So the next time you’ve had a brutal day at work or a terrible falling out with your significant other, rather than dressing all in black, you can adorn yourself with something that may just lighten your outlook; at the very least, you’ll be highly fashionable.

Shoe art from Alexander McQueen

It’s not every day that a pair of heels deserves an exclusive glass rack in the living room amidst numerous souvenirs, expensive wall hangings and art sculptures.

The fashion house of Alexander McQueen illustrates just how design brilliance doesn’t end at the ankles, but goes all the way till the bottom of the feet.

These intricately designed wedges, part of the McQueen spring 2011 collection, are a classic embodiment of artistic surrealism. The crisp, but gentle flower petals curve around the edges of the leather platform creating a perfect balance between design and wearability. Almost exhibiting a Grecian bride look, this creation by Sarah Burton is a true amalgamation of fashion and art.

Whistler’s Mother wore Louboutins

And you thought the trademark red sold of a Christian Louboutin shoe was a modern invention.

Not so, if the brand’s latest campaign is anything to go by. The campaign paints (literally) Louboutin accessory as an enduring beacon of style. A treasured item that captivated Georges de La Tour’s Magdalen more so than the smoking flame; a shoulder bag that Jean-Marc Nattier’s Artemis was particularly fond of in leopard print; a boot dark and feathered and cold with Victorian sensibilities, so much so that even Whistler’s Mother was partial to it.

We may not have loved every pair in Louboutin’s fall 2011 collection but this latest campaign by Peter Lippmann which, if you hadn’t already guessed, imposes select pieces onto iconic artworks, is completely captivating.

This is a campaign that goes beyond the product and puts the brand in your mind as having existed as an icon for much longer than it actually has. A clever feat by Lippmann.

Couture in the desert

Truly dramatic couture clothing calls for truly dramatic presentation: and if such is the truth than don’t Amato Haute Couture know it. Designer Furne One’s collection of sandy hues and electric blues couldn’t be better suited to the sweeping desert landscapes as photographed by Tina Patni, so dramatic against the clothing that they might well be scenes from 1962’s Lawrence of Arabia.
