A Few Looks From Vena Cava Spring 2011...

The Vena Cava girls took a tour through the '80s with their Spring 2011 runway show. Designers Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai (above) showed their collection on Thursday September 9th, and said they were inspired by Memphis, an Italian design movement dating back to the 1980s known for bold colours and geometric shapes. I didn't really see a lot of geometric shapes in this collection, but yeah, alright. I just thought the collection was simple and wearable with a bit of a retro vibe in some pieces.

Christian Siriano began designing at just thirteen years old and attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and the American Intercontinental University in London, where he interned with punk legend Vivienne Westwood, and with Alexander McQueen. Upon returning to the United States and moving to New York City, Christian's break came when he earned a spot on season four of Bravo's hit program Project Runway. He became the show's youngest winner, fan favorite, and a rising star in the fashion industry with his clothing sold in Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and stores around the world

Christian shows a full collection every season at New York Fashion Week, with past shows being sponsored by LG, Sprint, Victoria's Secret, Cibu International, and Aveda. He has designed for Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham, Lady GaGa, Vanessa Williams, Christina Hendricks, Pink, Estelle, Mena Suvari, Kelly Rowland, Becki Newton, Kat DeLuna, and Whoopi Goldberg in her role as host of the 2008 Tony Awards. Oprah Winfrey calls his designs "works of art." Tim Gunn calls him "a prodigy" and "the next great American fashion designer."

Christian's current projects include joining Isabel Toledo, Alice + Olivia, and Patricia Field in creating an ongoing line of shoes and bags for Payless which first became available in September 2009. He also created a line of makeup for Victoria's Secret for stores in the fall of 2009, a limited edition design collaboration for Starbucks for the 2009 holiday season, and a collaboration last year with Puma. Between his design projects, Christian has also written a style guide titled Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self, available now, and he embarked on a book tour in the fall of 2009.

Sooo Halle... Who's This?

via People: The City of Lights has become the City of Love for Halle Berry.


Berry, 44, has been spotted cozying up to her Dark Tide costar Olivier Martinez, 44, in his hometown of Paris. The two have been seen smooching and exploring the city, embracing a Hollywood-style romance straight out of a movie.


"It was the classic 'I'm going to kiss you here in a dark corner' move," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of Berry and Martinez's romantic romp. "And she was waiting to be kissed."


The duo spent Sunday afternoon combing through the streets arm in arm, taking in a pit stop at the Paris flea market. "They had their arms around each other as they walked," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They were both smiling and laughing Their body language was very flirtatious. They definitely seemed like a couple – absolutely looked like more than friends."

The two sped off on Martinez's motorcycle before dining at the intimate Casa Bini restaurant. After dinner, Martinez led Berry on a cozy back-streets tour of the St. Germain district at dusk, including Place Saint-Sulpice and its fountain. En route to his Paris pad, the couple stopped along a narrow street and kissed in a doorway for two minutes, says an onlooker.



So I guess this means Halle and gorgeous Gabriel are really over?? For some reason, that makes me sad :(

Is Lauren Conrad Returning to TV?

Insiders say yes, and the networks are fighting over her new unconfirmed reality show according to US Weekly.

Get ready for LC's small-screen comeback! Although Lauren Conrad left MTV's The Hills back in 2009 and has since become a bestselling author and successful fashion designer, the 24-year-old isn't done with TV.

An insider says in the new Us Weekly, out now, that Conrad is getting her very own reality show -- and that the networks have been fighting over it.

In an exclusive interview with Us, Conrad (who wouldn't confirm the new series) says her third go-round would be miles away from the drama and back-stabbing of Laguna Beach and The Hills. "The only way I'd return to reality TV would be if it allowed me to decide when the cameras stop," she tells Us.
