Blake Lively’s Favorite New Orleans Shopping Haunt

Jun 24, 2010 @ 3:42 pm

Blake Lively has been busy filming her new flick Green Lantern in New Orleans, but the budding fashionista still found time to squeeze in some French Quarter shopping. DesignerSocial.com, a new Web site from former publishing executive (and InStyle staffer) Francine Davis Ballard, which buys and sells high-end consignment accessories, just opened a showroom in New Orleans and Lively was one of its first customers! With her pooch Penny in tow, the Gossip Girl star shopped privately, purchasing several Indonesian vintage purses as well as a Chanel handbag. Ballard says, “In my opinion, she has impeccable taste and personal style.” We couldn’t agree more!

And the groom wore jeans! Harrison Ford wed longtime girlfriend Calista Flockhart on June 15th wearing a pair of Wrangler jeans, which fit the “barbecue dress code” perfectly.

Supermodels Get Ladylike in Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Creative Director Marc Jacobs tapped several of the world’s most famously curvaceous supermodels—including Adriana Lima, Bar Refaeli, Laetitia Casta and Elle Macpherson—to wear his Fall 2010 collection on the runway in Paris last spring. Now he’s booked three more superstars for a brand-new campaign. “This season was a manifesto for beautiful, ladylike clothes,” Jacobs explains. Accordingly, the ads show three beautiful ladies—Natalia Vodianova (left), Karen Elson (center) and Christy Turlington (right)—preening in a vintage-inspired movie star dressing room. The women look stunning in bustiers, 50s-inspired knits and sweeping skirts (and the iconic Speedy handbag is as covetable as ever in new materials like alligator, waxed calf leather and flocked and sequined Monogram canvas). With hair by master stylist Guido and makeup by world-renowned artist Pat McGrath, the three iconic supermodels look effortlessly chic.  Check out more of the Louis Vuitton campaign in the gallery below and watch a behind-the-scenes video after the jump!

Stars Fete LOFT Style Studio

Jun 24, 2010 @ 11:45 am

Last night, celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez (her first client was InStyle contributor Rachel Bilson) hosted a chic fete for LOFT’s Fall 2010 Style Studio, where she styled three looks. “I wanted to keep it California chic because I am a California girl,” Chavez told us. Kristen Bell and Emmanuelle Chiqri got a sneak peek at the line’s modern architectural shapes, new fabrics (like tweed) and gorgeous feminine floral prints. “I think LOFT has been coming out with a lot of great stuff recently. I love that almost everything is striped and I’m dying to have all the hats,” Bell told us. “There is also a fantastic pair of equestrian over-the-knee boots that I am loving.” Our favorite piece from the collection? The amazing faux fur bolero that LOFT’s Senior Fashion Director, Alia Ahmed-Yahia, wore. Click on the gallery to see what pieces the stars wore from LOFT’s fall collection.
