Victoria Beckham’s capsuale collection.

Victoria Beckham has launched an exclusive new capsule range for Net-a-Porter has given fans of the designer something new to lust after.

The designer tweeted a sneak preview of one of the dresses last week, posing in a pair of fluffy slippers, but the line was finally available to see this week when it went online.

Instead of spring/summer’s whimsical feline prints, and the crisp schoolgirl vibe of next season’s fall/winter collection to come, the simple Sixties silhouettes and block hues make each item as classic as it is trans-seasonal.

The price point is a lot more reasonable than her mainline collection which retail into the thousands, these start at a relatively accessible £355, up to £730 for the dropped-waist stretch wool minidress.

What do you think of the capsule collection?

The pair have successfully made the transition from child stars, to ‘It girl’ celebrity to respected and successful fashion designers with impeccable and creative vision.

Their luxury label ‘The Row’ shows at New York Fashion week, and unlike many celebrity brands, their work is their own. “We are perfectionists. We’ve always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on – that’s why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that’s how it has to be.”

The Row was launched in 2007 with the mission to create the perfect basic but luxurious t-shirt, and The Row takes its name from the historic ‘Savile Row’.
The line has expanded to include a complete range of sophisticated essentials, from the perfect pair of leather leggings and evening dresses to elegantly tailored knitwear and outerwear.

However their line doesn’t come cheap, a basic T-shirt sells for £195, and a bag can cost up to £4000 on Net-a-Porter.

Beyonce in full Bloom!!! :)

Beyonce was i n full bloom at the launch of her latest DVD yesterday, clearly not phased by recent scrutiny and detailed analysis from her critics over the size, shape of her pregnant figure and bump!!!  The authenticity of her baby bump came under fire after an interview on Australian television hinted that she was wearing a prosthetic bump. As she sat down during the chat with local TV personality Molly Meldrum on the Sunday Night programme, it appeared the bump got squashed. Just days later she caused another furore on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon performing with a flat stomach: only to explain that it was pre-recorded… In your face critics!!! She looked positively glowing wearing a gorgeous sweeping floor-length gown with delicate gold embellishment!!!

Queen B got comfortable and answered questions from her loving fans after the initial airing of the DVD, unseen footage on the DVD is said to have moments from the stars wedding preparations, and never seen before pics of her dress!!!

Earlier this month the singer and her rapper husband took delivery of a $5000 Swarovski crystal-studded baby bath from her former Destiny’s Child bandmate turned X Factor judge Kelly Rowland. The 3,000lb porcelain tub is studded with 44,928 crystals that Californian interior designer Lori Gardner spent more than two months applying by hand.

The power couple have been married for 3 years now, and I for one CAN NOT wait for their bundle of joy to arrive!!!

Rihanna… Smoking Hot??!!

Smoking was glamorised in the world of showbiz and glamour a looong time ago, but obviously in recent times this kind of behaviour has widely been frowned upon… and rightly so!!! Well it turns out Ri-Ri doesn’t give a damn (what’s new? :)) as she lights up for her new promotional campaign for the of her latest single ‘Talk the Talk’ !!! In the past the star has always been out and proud about well, what ever frolickings take her fancy at the time, her previous video SnM was banned across British ans American music networks alike… She’s certainly no stranger to a little controversy!!!

Above the singer pictured donning a rather risqué number!!!

The singer has been accused of glamorising smoking and come on Ri-Ri I’m not sooooo surprised… Loving the hair though!

Rihanna has several more dates to play around the UK and Europe throughout November and December, and will appear live on the x Factor this weekend, expect a ravishing performance and errrm no smoking of course!!! 🙂
