Jennifer Lopez Debuts Fall 2013 Collection for Kohl’s

Yesterday,  Jennifer Lopez  released her Fall 2013 line of women’s wear for Khol’s at Gary’s Loft in New York City. Wearing a sexy black jumpsuit from her collection, the former “American Idol” judge proudly displayed her most recent collaboration with the retailer and happily posed for photos. Lopez has been working with the company since 2010, when Kohl’s announced a partnership with Lopez and her then-husband Marc Anthony. Originally marketed as “the first celebrity couple to simultaneously design collections for one retailer”, the lines were marked as two separate brands following their divorce.

The Jennifer Lopez Collection includes contemporary sportswear, dresses, handbags, jewelry, shoes and sleepwear along with a home collection of bedding and towels.

Lopez has stated that her inspiration for her collections come from “all facets of her life: her life, career and travels around the world”. Jennifer Lopez’s collection for Kohl’s embodies modern lines and effortless style with vibrant colors, energetic patterns and quality construction.

I’m No Angel: From Victoria’s Secret Model to…

Back in 2009, Victoria’s Secret launched a nation wide contest in which the winner would get the chance to walk in the coveted shoes of a Victoria’s Secret model. Kylie Bisutti entered and won the role, beating over ten thousand contestants for the sacred spot on the runway.

Fast forward to present day. Kylie has renounced the lingerie company that made her famous, saying that her Christian values do not match up to the values set by the company. She claims that her body should only be for her husband and has outspokenly proclaimed that from now on she will only choose “wholesome jobs that will honor her Christian beliefs”. She has made several remarks on how working for V.S made her “feel like a piece of meat” and that her job with the company was “to turn men on”. Now keep in mind, Kylie (who still has the Twitter handle @VSKylie) has also modeled for FHM and Maxim, baring racy outfits, and she is also set to launch a book riding on the wings of V.S. titled I’m No Angel: From Victoria’s Secret Model to Role Model, about how she ended her relationship with company. read more

One of the hottest trends this season is a bold print and thanks to designers like Tory Burch and brands like Victoria’s Secret, the flamingo is one of the prints making the line-up! Below is a collage of some of the flamingo inspired designs that you can sport this summer, whether hitting the beach or lounging by the pool. Have travel fever? I’ve also included some flamingo themed destinations! Xoxo

1. Sanibel Top and bottom by Tory Burch. Channel a sunny island spirit with this Sanibel Top and matching bottom. This balconette style has a removable halter strap, giving you options when it comes to tan lines (or the lack thereof)!

2. Flamingo Island at Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad. One of my favorite travel get-aways, this private island is fully stocked with beautiful, pink flamingos!

3. Ruched Bandeau Top and Ruched-Side Bikini Bottom by Pink by Victoria’s Secret. So cute that I had to order one for myself! I can definitely see Katy Perry wearing this on a California beach!

4. Flamingo Road in Las Vegas – or, the Flamingo Resort & Casino, located on the Las Vegas Strip! Las Vegas is a great place to lounge by the pool and soak up some rays – always a party, but if desired, quiet lounging is also an option. Plus, you can’t beat the poolside service!

5. The Flamingo Taryn Cosmetic Case and the Flamingo Printed Coated Poplin Cosmetic Case by Tory Burch.

6. Flamingo printed flip flops! (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE)
