Victoria Beckham RTW Fall 2011

In what is now her sixth fashion collection, Brit Victoria Beckham is finally convincing the fashion industry that she is for real and not just a one-time crossover wonder from the world of music. For her Fall 2011 ready to wear collection, she favored more relaxed silhouettes, but continued to emphasize long legs and slender hips with plenty of fitted dresses and pencil skirts.

One of her more daring dresses was a lovely garnet colored one-sleeved wonder that featured a high, covered up neckline atop a pencil skirt and matching garnet colored boots. It was covered up and very sexy at the same time.

In more of a corporate mood, she featured a sand colored, shawl-wrapped blouse that was belted several times around with a skinny black belt. This was worn atop a black pencil skirt and tall black boots.

A final, gorgeous look for work was a gray belted jacket (again, wrapped several times around the waist with a skinny black belt) over a slim fitted black top. The jacket had a matching gray pencil skirt that was worn with tall, simple black boots.

Beckham’s show also featured some bright, desert-inspired colors, a lovely short trapeze dress, and a polished long, sand-colored coat that set itself apart from the many anoraks other designers were touting for Fall 2011.

Miley Cyrus Growing Up Painful to her Dad

Billy Ray Cyrus says that his 18-year-old daughter Miley is still his little girl, and that he’s scared for her future. The latest celebrity news about the singer / actress comes from an interview Billy Ray gave to GQ magazine. “She’s got a lot of people around her that’s putting her in a great deal of danger,” he told the magazine.

A video showing Miley smoking salvia from a bong went viral on the internet, and Miley chose to have her 18th birthday party in a bar, which her father refused to attend. Billy Ray also insists that he never made money from his daughter, telling GQ, “I’m proud to say to this day I’ve never made one commissioned dollar, or dime, off of my daughter.” He blames Miley’s recent rebellious streak on her “handlers,” and the pressures she was under with her Disney Channel show “Hannah Montana.”

Vanessa Hudgens Keeps Romance Options Open

After breaking up with High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens is keeping her options open as far as finding a new boyfriend. The latest celebrity news and gossip comes from an interview Hudgens gave for the March issue of Details magazine. In it, she reveals that while filming Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, her 77-year-old co-star, movie veteran Michael Caine constantly flirted with her.

“If it was anybody else, I’d be like, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’” she said, but she excuses the flirting due to Caine’s legendary status in the movie industry. She also has a lot of respect of legendary director Quentin Tarantino, who she cornered at a post-Oscar party last year. “I told him, ‘We’ve gotta do something together,’ and he was like, ‘I would love to.’” But no projects with Tarantino have materialized yet.

Jessica Simpson Says it was not Love at First Sight

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, emerging fashion industry power house Jessica Simpson said that while her relationship with fiancé Eric Johnson was not love at first sight, she did have a feeling “I could love this man.” She also said that when he proposed to her on bended knee, she was so overwhelmed that she had to sit down on his knee to compose herself. “I was so excited and overwhelmed I couldn’t even stand,” she said.

Simpson’s rise in the world of fashion designers was showcased by the magazine article, as she is set to become the first celebrity with a fashion line to earn one billion dollars. The line brought in $750 million in 2010. In what is sure to become an iconic magazine cover, Simpson is shown in a playful pose on the latest cover of New York Magazine with an over-the-top, enormous hairdo.

Beckhams’ Case against ‘InTouch’ Magazine Dismissed

Another fashion industry mogul, Victoria Beckham, recently enjoyed a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner with husband David Beckham after finding out that their libel case against InTouch magazine was thrown out of court. But David has vowed to continue fighting despite the case being dismissed by a US judge. Last year, the magazine published an article claiming that Beckham spent an evening with a high-priced prostitute in New York in August 2007.

But he and his pregnant wife set that aside to enjoy a dinner at Minetta Tavern in New York City on Valentine’s Day. For her part, Victoria is busy with her fashion design business and is in the process of putting together a selection of fashion dresses for royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton.

Sofia Vergara Loves Food, Hates Exercising

The latest celebrity news about “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara is that despite her enviable figure, she hates exercising. But she sometimes chooses activities that are more enjoyable. She told Shape magazine, “When I can, I do Latin dancing for exercise because it’s so much fun.” She also says that she considers food to be one of the great pleasures in life, and she tries to have at least a small indulgence every day.

“For me and my son, buying cake at the grocery store is like buying milk. We always have it in the house,” she says. She also loves chocolate covered strawberries. But despite her lifelong love for rich foods, Vergara also revealed to Shape that she used to get teased at school for being skinny, being called “palillo” which means “toothpick” in Spanish.

Bag of the Week - Alexander Wang Darcy Slouchy Hobo

Often times, when we choose to splurge on a fabulous handbag, we go for the safest color. The most versatile, the one that allows you to say, 'I can wear with anything.' Usually, that means black. Black is beautiful, timeless and classic, but it's black and probably similar to so many of the other purses you already have in your repertoire. Why not step outside the box this season and get super spendy on something slightly more eye-catching?

The Alexander Wang Darcy Slouchy Hobo in Mustard is the perfect piece. In a creamy chartreuse, this pebbled leather beauty is still as versatile as it's basic black counter-part. It's sure to add a pop of color to all the dark hues you've filled your closet with. Big and roomy with an over-the-shoulder strap, the hobo bag is embellished with brass hardware and etched over-sized studs at the bottom. So go ahead and get a little color crazy! You'll find yourself using this more than you think!
