Summer might be over, but we are heating things up for you with a steamy preview of Bare Necessities’ new digital catalog for Chantelle. These oh-so-sexy styles will have you sweating with delight, as this digital experience is one like you’ve never experienced – and it’s all PG-13! We love it…

Catch the catalog’s fashion bombshell — styled in a retro pin-up — that has to be seen to be believed.

Like a good film noir, there is a story to tell about the Chantelle Woman. “She lives in full color, never one to shy away. She knows her confidence and sensuality will leave a lasting impression long after she’s gone.” While it features sizzling bra and panty styles that appeal to the eye, such as the Chantelle St. Germain 3-Part Cup Underwire Bra, Bare Necessities knows how to keep it classy and sophisticated.

As the holiday season quickly approaches – we will soon be shopping for gifts – via our tablets. The digital catalog is now available via the free Google Catalogs and Catalog Spree tablet apps for both iPad and Android, available on Apple’s App Store and on Google Play for Android. The catalog can be viewed here!

Rihanna was in London – and was spotted twice, both on the 9th and 10th of September! I must say, the girl looked good! Her skin looked flawless as usual – and her nails looked well’cured. She was also spotted, trending a chic pair of new DITA Magnifique in black!

What do you think…how does Rihanna Look?

 

The amazing Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas dazzled during the MTV Video Music Awards – as she posed on the red carpet in a head-to-toe ensemble from BCBGMAXAZRIA. The pint-sized beauty later opted for a chic all black BCBGMAXAZRIA look when she took the stage during Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj’s performance!

But I think Gabby is nuts for BCBGMAXAZRIA, as she was also spotted trending at the Democratic National Convention looking radiant in a BCBGMAXAZRIA black and white dress, while leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance!

How do you feel about Gabby’s looks?

 

Jordyn Wieber – also opt-in for BCBG – as she made a bold statement on the MTV VMA red carpet, donning a stunning blue hue in a BCBGMAXAZRIA cocktail dress. The Olympic gold medalist served as a presenter alongside the other members of the “Fierce Five” including Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, and Aly Raisman.

 

Four-time Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin – was also spotted in the latest BCBG (oh my…was this planned?) – as she added a pop of color on the red carpet at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards donning a bright red BCBGMAXAZRIA Cocktail Dress.

And we are feeling the teal kicks – Vans no less…that the Biebs was seen trending while out and about in London on Thursday, September 13th.

I always get excited whenever I get updates from H&M! The fashion mega powerhouse has tons of fashionable goodies for the entire family –  this fall season! Global sensation, song-writer & singer — Lana Del Rey — is set to be the new face of H&M for this fall’s season.

Lana is set to star in a print campaign shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, as well as a full-length film of Lana singing a cover of “Blue Velvet”, shot by director Johan Renck. Lana became an instant worldwide star earlier this year with her single “Video Games” taken from the multimillion selling album “Born to Die”, and is known globally for her distinctive personal style. For the print campaign, Lana wears the best of H&M’s fashion for Fall, from a pink angora blend sweater to printed leggings, a tweed biker jacket and a tweed figure-hugging faux leather trimmed dress. The film is a fully-plotted music video starring Lana as she sings “Blue Velvet”, which will be available to see in its entirety at hm.com from September 19, with edited versions used as a TV campaign. Lana will also star in a second print campaign later in the season, featuring the best of winter fashion.
