You’ll See It Everywhere

Every summer has its wardrobe: a few pieces that catch on and suddenly define the season (gladiator sandals, anybody?). We’ve sifted through the trends and determined what we’ll all be seeing, in some form, for the next four months.

Round Sunglasses

Bangles

Studs

Plaid Shirts

Sparkles

I'm rocking pretty much all of those now! Except for the round Sunglasses...my head is too small for that look!

Simmons Jewelry's Sponge Bob Square Pants Line to Range From $150 to $75,000

In keeping with the frugal times and the need to celebrate the Sponge Bob Square Pants 10th year anniversary, Simmons Jewelry Co. is collaborating with Nickelodeon/Viacom Consumer Products on a SpongeBob Square Pants jewelry and watch line to debut fall '09 with items ranging from $150 to $75,000.And to make sure that the Diamond Empowerment Fund, a nonprofit created by Russell Simmons, is well funded, there will be an auction of a "12-carat total weight diamond-encrusted Sponge Bob pendant" (shown above) that will be "displayed in a one of a kind, custom made abstract box".

I love me some Sponge Bob... but I don't think I will be rockin' this bling...

Jimmy Choo Fall '09 Yay!

While I anxiously await Jimmy Choo's H&M collab (awesome!), we can feast on the shoe empire's Fall ad campaign. Angela Lindvall is back for another round of the good life. This time she's in a fabulous yacht cabin, dripping in Choo's sharp shoes and accessories against rich, brown hues. Her tousled shagadelic 'do adds to the sultry vibe. The boot of the season — the over-the-knee — makes a not-surprising cameo. I can't get these turquoise zebra ankle-wrap sandals out of my head so I guess the ads are working their magic.

Adriana Lima Has a New Givenchy Ad and a Baby on the Way!

Just when Adriana Lima's new fall Givenchy campaign launches, she has to go on bump watch. Lima confirmed she is pregnant by her husband, NBA star Marko Jaric.

They eloped on Valentine's Day and Lima will give birth to a genetically flawless, eternally cellulite-free child this winter. But what about her career? Not that getting fat is a threat, because it is a law of the universe that models never get fat from having babies. But Adriana was so interesting to watch this season! She raised eyebrows when she walked in Givenchy's fall 2009 show. These days she's known for selling $65 Victoria's Secret bras and Maybelline mascara, more so than high fashion work. So now that she's with child, what of the spring 2010 Givenchy runway show? Or the spring campaign? At least she can pull a Heidi Klum and strut onto the Victoria's Secret runway in a giant pair of wings five minutes after giving birth. And there is a clever pun for Maybelline to make about being born with it in here somewhere.

Madonna Confirmed for Louis Vuitton, Round II

Louis Vuitton's press office has confirmed rumors that Madonna will star in the fall 2009 campaign shot by Steven Meisel. It remains unknown if Jesus Luz will appear with her. But a careful statistical analysis of Madonna, Louis Vuitton, and the Louis Vuitton customer indicates that the probability of his doing so is high.
