Lace & Leather
What do controversial rocker Courtney Love, treacherous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, and bubbly Disney star Miley Cyrus all have in common? . . . An affinity for leather and lace! It’s a classic pairing of delicate/pretty with sexy/edgy that works best for going out, especially when dressed up with bold, antique-style jewelry.

London Fashion Week SS12: Lou Dalton
Lou Daltons spring/summer 2012 collection is all about shorts: medium shorts, short shorts and long shorts ok the latter is probably just called trousers but you get the idea. Teamed with bomber jackets and some more tailored top pieces, the collection was a rather monochrome experience.

Luckily if the Tower Heist trailer is any indication, it seems like Murphy is back on top of his hilarious game as a charming ex-con in a (thankfully) adult action-comedy. Directed by Brett Ratner, the movie hints that we might even be seeing some hard-core flirtation with Gabourey Sidibe, which is clearly not for children.
