Chopard and Madonna worked together once before to create the pavé diamond “Hung Up” necklace she wore on tour for her last album, and now they’re in cahoots again. Designed by Chopard co-president Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, Madonna has two sparkly new pieces of jewelry for her latest album “Hard Candy.” The album art features a wrestling theme and on it Madonna wears a gold and diamond knuckle ring that says “M-dolla” in 258 brilliant cut white diamonds with a Chopard floating diamond on the “M,” and a Happy Diamonds cross necklace featuring 3 diamonds. The album comes out at the end of this month.

Summer is getting close and there are a lot of changes and new trends to follow in Men’s Fashion. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the seaside, get a nice sun tan and relax in a beautiful weather. If you’re planning to do this you should wear few clothes and just clothes that make you feel sexy. If you’re going to wear polo shirts when you’re walking on the beach then you will surely turn some heads. For many, the average men’s shirt is just a simple clothing item but nowadays more and more men are trying to have fashionable clothes in any occasion. One of the most important developments in men’s shirts over the last hundred years, for example, has been the invention of the polo shirt. The polo shirt, or ‘tennis shirt’, was created by legendary French tennis player Rene Lacoste in 1929 as an alternative to the stiff dress shirts and ties typical of tennis attire at the time. In the 1960s, Ralph Lauren propelled the polo shirt to new heights as a prominent item in his ‘Polo’ collection; and since this time the polo shirt has become so popular that it is now a standard category of clothing. If you choose the best polo shirt and if you also match it with boxer shorts you will have a sporty and fresh look that is really confortable too. You shouldn’t wear clothes that other people tell you to, you should always pick clothes that you like in which you feel really well. Since it’s summer, you should also think about male underwear. You should choose the one that makes you look hot and that is really confortable. Summer is close so start searching for the nicest clothes for you and get ready for beautiful holidays in exotic locations.

Christian Louboutin, maker of the most fabulous shoes available, brings you these stunning Fontanete Platform Pumps. They’re available in eye catching fuchsia (my fave) or demure taupe for a more subtle approach. Made of soft Nappa leather (which seems to be the must have material for summer 2008) and styled with side openings all the way to the top and gold metallic piping on the edges, the Fontanete is both elegant and stylish. Louboutins have a cushy padded insole, so your feet won’t hate you at the end of the day. Available online, for $795.

I’m not always the biggest fan of Paris Hilton’s wardrobe choices, but I have to say that she’s really rocking this dress in spring’s trendiest hue, yellow. She looks bright, sunny, and … classy! Here’s why this look works so well:

• The dress is really fun and feminine — the halter is a flattering neckline and seriously springy. Pair that with the defined waist and full skirt, and you’ve got a perfect spring dress.
• The color is, of course, one of the hottest choices this season. Paris’ dress has a fun white print on it to make it stand out without making it too loud. Yellow, if paired with colors can be a bit much for some people, but paired with white (or navy) will work for just about anybody.

So many C and D list celebs turned up in their sexiest, attention grabbing, outfits for Details Magazine’s Mavericks 2008 Cocktail Party last Thursday.

My best dressed of the night was actress January Jones who looked stylish for Spring in a volumous, high-waisted, floral navy skirt teamed with a classic white vest and white peep toes. So chic!

The queen of curves Kim Kardashian wore another figure hugging dress but I like this strapless, gold one more than her usual ones as it’s more structured and holds her in nicely! Luckily she kept everything else simple with a black clutch and black peep toes which stopped the gold from looking cheap.

Wearing an acid yellow one strap dress, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon hit two key Spring trends and looked great! What is that hairstyle about though? You can’t wear a sexy, grown-up mini dress with little girl bunches in your hair! Ridiculous!

Also looking lovely was Miss Guided’s Brooke Burns in a strapless navy mini dress and trendy bold yellow clutch bag.

The L Word and Life star Sarah Shahi wore the most popular YSL Spring 2008 dress as already seen on Rihanna, Julianne Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow! Personally I don’t understand the fuss with this dress. It’s not very flattering and it’s sooooo boring! Why are so many celebs wearing it? Having said that, Sarah improved the dress slightly by breaking it up with a black waist belt so she gets points for that.

And finally is Maria Menounos wearing a chiffon latte coloured mini dress with black trim around the neck and black tights to match

After a particularly long and snow-filled winter that has left everyone doubting the existence of global warming, it is a relief to see bright color bursting forth on the runways, sweeping into retail outlets and breezing down the streets like a high pressure system moving in from Paris, New York and Milan.

The Vernal Equinox marks the advent of everything Spring, and this season the forecast is filled with dazzling greens, brilliant purples and vivid yellows.  Never before has the fashion climate looked so colourful.

The best thing about this trend is that it looks good on absolutely everyone; it’s just a matter of choosing the right styles and shades to complement your body type and skin tone.

So this spring, improve the air quality of your closet by investing in a few vivaciously coloured pieces that will heat up your wardrobe and contribute to a global style-warming.

Here are some examples of how my favourite designers are embracing this fashion warm-front with colour:

1.  An Aurora Borealis of vibrant colour on the Spring 2008 Versace runway

2.  The Humidex is on the rise at Gucci with this bright yellow ready- to-wear top

3.  A jet stream of jet setters in effervescent colours at Michael Kors

4.  ‘Ultra Violet’ takes on new meaning at the House of Dior

OK, Brides to Be in 2008… It’s time to start looking for your perfect dress! The newest dresses incorporate interesting textures (papery crumpled silk, cutout lace, pearls and other unique beading), romantic draping and billowing, and vintage lines. We absolutely LOVE these latest looks, as they emphasize the shape of the body, and are constructed to move - making for really beautiful pictures…. we can’t wait to see some of these styles on next year’s brides!

Bras soon won’t just be fighting the sag. A British researcher is working on a prototype bra that could detect early stages of breast cancer. The “smart bra” uses microwave antennae to pick up on temperature changes that happen when there’s an increase in blood flow to a developing tumor. The same types of passive microwaves are used to pinpoint submarine and distant star locations.

An audible or visual alarm would be built into the bra alerting wearers that they should head to the doctor. This seems like it would be a bit stressful. Especially if it happened during a business meeting or an interview! “Sorry, gotta run. I may have cancer.”

Some docs aren’t too psyched on the whole idea either, citing that many benign growths and nonmalignant inflammatory changes can also increase blood flow. But hey, any research helping women find and fight breast cancer is worth looking into in my breast opinion!
