Urban Decay Holiday 2011
Urban Decay always has the most special book of shadows, I remember I was obsessed with the Alice in Wonderland and now this butterfly and laser swirls book of shadows for Holiday 2011 is just as pretty. This Book of Shadows IV is extra amazing not only because it has over 16 all new shadows but you can use your phone to access how-to videos for this palette’s looks. Perfect for people like me that have the slightest clue on creating looks. Also included are a full-size 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion and a travel-size Supercurl Curling Mascara.
Other key items for the holiday includes the Stardust Sparkling Lip Gloss (available in 3 shades), 24/7 Travel-Size Set of 5 Eye Pencil (available in 2 sets), Sparkling Lickable Body Powder (available in Honey and Marshmallow flavors) and Holiday Nail Kit (available in 6 small bottles). Super fun stuff for the holidays and perfect for gifting too.

LVMH Rumored to Be Eyeing Alexander Wang
In the aftermath of the Alexander Wang for Dior rumors, Vogue UK reports that LVMH may have been expressing interest in Wang for another reason, instead: “While no investment has been confirmed, or even properly discussed, it seems Wang’s burgeoning brand has caught the eye of LVMH — and rumors suggest that the designer could follow fellow New Yorker Marc Jacobs into the conglomerate’s luxury stable.” [Vogue UK]
Reebok Has to Refund $25 Million to Consumers
Well, this is interesting…and it’s about time. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered Reebok to provide $25MM in refunds to consumers who bought their various toning shoe products,WWD reports.
According to a complaint filed by the FTC, Reebok claimed that their shoes can increase strength by 11-28% in your calves, legs, and butt muscles compared to exercising in regular old shoes. Except none of that is backed up by any actual science. Oops.
David Vladeck, the director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection told WWD, “The FTC wants national advertisers to understand that they must exercise {Ed.note: Ha! Pun intended?} some responsibility and ensure that their claims for fitness gear are supported by sound science.”
If you’ve coughed up $60 to $100 for Reebok’s EasyTone walking shoes or flip flops, or their RunTone running shoes, you can get your hard-earned dollars back either directly from the FTC or through a court approved class-action lawsuit. Now you can take that money and put it towards a new bike or proper gym membership. 😉
TREND: Borrowed From the Boys
While pilfering from the guys is nothing new — the Fall 2011 runways of DKNY, Ralph Lauren, and Marc Jacobs were chock-full of menswear-inspired styles, from tuxes to tweed — I’ve taken the concept one step further and gathered up some of the coolest meant-for-men pieces around. In fact, these styles are so chic, it would be a crime to let the boys keep them to themselves; there’s a chartreuse Jil Sander “document holder” that would make the perfect oversized clutch, a slim-cut teal blazer that would look so chic over a floral dress, and much, much more. Check out the pics below 😉

As part of Miu Miu’s Fall 2011 ad campaign — which shows Hailee Steinfeld lounging in grass, munching on pizza, and sitting on a railroad — Bruce Weber also captured the actress in motion for his new five-minute short film for the brand, “Portrait of Hailee.” See the ad images in motion in the video, and starting in October, MiuMiu.com will host an “animated web book” of images taken on the Miami set while the campaign was captured in May.
