Real Housewives Star Kyle Richards to Open Clothing Store

May 2, 2012 @ 6:15 pm

Bravo star Kyle Richards is opening a new clothing store, an idea that came to her during a book signing at the Florida-based shop Alene Too. “I was so distracted at the signing because the store had every brand I love like Alice + Olivia, vintage Chanel and Haute Hippie,” she told InStyle.com. After the event, she reached out to co-owners Debbie Weisman and Lizzy Schwartz to open a Beverly Hills branch. “I have to bop all over L.A. to find those designers, so this is one-stop-shopping all under one roof.” Kyle by Alene Too will open in June, and will also have an online store so fans can shop beyond the Hills. “I’ve always dreamt about this,” Richards said. “They aren’t going to be able to get rid of me—I’m bringing a sleeping bag to the store!”

Narciso Rodriguez Texts Claire Danes on the Red Carpet

May 2, 2012 @ 6:00 pm

When Narciso Rodriguez wants Claire Danes to know how amazing she looks in his designs, he texts her himself! Like last week, when the actress stopped by the Tribeca Film Festival in a sexy hot pink Rodriguez look. “I sent her a text saying, ‘Thank you for making me look so good,’” the designer told us at a benefit for his alma mater, Parsons the New School for Design. “And that’s on top of being a really great friend and a woman who’s so amazing, so beautiful and talented and courageous and intelligent. She really is all that. And I’m proud to call her my friend.” Now that’s a sweet relationship!

New in Stores: Dita Von Teese’s First Perfume

May 2, 2012 @ 3:46 pm

Dita Von Teese’s first fragrance is now in stores! The star teamed up with Liberty of London to create her Old Hollywood-inspired scent. “I often thought about the great women that I admire like Marlene Dietrich or Hedy Lamarr—those sexy, glamorous, iconic women, and I couldn’t imagine them ever smelling like fruits or candy,” she said in an interview with the label. “I wanted something that speaks of wanting to be grown-up, a sophisticated woman who is in charge of her life.” Von Teese’s scent is a seductive blend of Bulgarian rose and peony, with undertones of spicy Bourbon pepper and smoky wood. Pick up a bottle exclusively at liberty.co.uk for $42.

Alice Temperley to Launch Lower-Priced Line

May 2, 2012 @ 3:30 pm

British department store John Lewis tapped Alice Temperley to create a more affordable range, called Somerset by Temperley. ”I wanted it to be very much a collection of essentials,” the designer told The Telegraph. Shoppers can expect to see “feminine and functional” looks, like the ones loved by the Temperley’s celebrity clients Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Heidi Klum. The 60-piece line will launch September 4th, with partywear expected in October. And while there aren’t any John Lewis outposts in the US, the store does ship stateside.

Celebrity Nail Polish Trend to Try: Pretty Pastels

Pastel Nail Polish - Jessica AlbaGetty images (3)

One easy way to wear spring’s big pastel trend is on your nails. This week, Jessica Alba dressed up her look with a lilac mani, Michelle Trachtenberg wore a seafoam lacquer, and Ginnifer Goodwin added a pop of color to her LBD with a robin’s egg blue. “I just loved that it was a blue that doesn’t make my hands look dead,” the actress told InStyle.com of why she picked the hue. We love how the shades are soft and feminine without being fussy. Plus, they flatter every skin tone and pack a lot of punch when worn with contrasting hues. When opting for this lighter look, remember to keep your finishes in mind—ultra-glossy top coats create a high-fashion feel, while a jeweled glitter swipe adds a touch of sparkle. Just be sure to steer clear of matte polishes—the lack of shine makes the colors chalky with a Wite-Out-esque appearance. For more celebrity manicure ideas, click through the gallery now.
