Trend Alert: Leopard-Printed Anything

Leopard is one of those prints that never really goes out of style, but it has its moments of popularity in fashion history.


Leopard is one of those prints that never really goes out of style, but it has its moments of popularity in fashion history. This Autumn/Winter season happens to be a high point for leopard, where designers and High Street brands are making this specific animal print the highlight of their collections. Notice the lovely Christian Louboutin's on Blake Lively from the Teen Choice Awards last week, this amazing leopard-print swimsuit from Lanvin (£520) and my personal new ultra-wearable favourites are these Wabi Wabi Leopard Cord Jeans from Isabel Marant (£240) all of which you can see above. No matter what type of leopard item or accessory you like best, it's safe to say this print is back in a fierce kind of way. Shop all kinds of leopard prints below!

Try Kelly Rowland's Bottom Eyeliner Technique

For Kelly Rowland, her favorite makeup look of the season appears to be wearing bright, cool-toned eyeliners along the bottom lash lines.


For Kelly Rowland, her favorite makeup look of the season appears to be wearing bright, cool-toned eyeliners along the bottom lash lines. In fact, she's been spotted sporting various versions of the trendy technique over the course of the past few months, most recently at a press launch for The X Factor earlier today. To keep the look from appearing garish, be sure to ground the bold bottom hue with a more neutral or subdued color, such as pink, on the lids. Top off with a pink gloss and subtly bronzed cheeks, and you have a fun style that never skews too costume-y. For inspiration, shop the widget below:

Stuart Weitzman Young Hollywood Cares Collection

A couple weeks back, we got a glimpse of Stuart Weitzman's Young Hollywood Cares Collection when Olivia Palermo wore them to a red carpet event and now, the complete collection is out for perusal. The collaboration enlisted Scarlett Johansson, Hayden Panettiere, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Olivia Palermo to co-design a pair of shoes with Stuart Weitzman in which all proceeds will benefit Marsha Moses’ research in ovarian cancer at the Folkman Institute in Boston. Like most Weiztman's decadent creations, the footwear does't come cheap: the collection ranges from $425 to $495 but at least you know all of sales will go to good cause. Click the slideshow to see all of the beautiful designs, which will be available online and in Weitzman's flagship stores in September, along with photos of some of some of the celebs wearing their own designs.

Besides being a multitalented actress and singer, Zooey Deschanel is famous for her Kewpie-doll looks, choppy dark bangs, and offbeat sense of style.


Besides being a multitalented actress and singer, Zooey Deschanel is famous for her Kewpie-doll looks, choppy dark bangs, and offbeat sense of style. At last night's premiere of Our Idiot Brother in Hollywood, she stuck to her signature look, wearing a graphic black and white dress with a strong collar, a tousled side bun, and pretty, '60s-inspired makeup. As for those mile-long lashes, she appeared to be wearing false lashes on both her upper and lower lash lines, making for a dramatic, doll-like look. Tell us what you think: is it a cute look for Zooey, or is it too much?
