Rihanna and Chris Brown together again?!

Image via people.com

WHY RIHANNA WHY???

People is reporting exclusively that Rihanna is getting back together with Chris Brown.

The pair have been separated for almost three weeks after Brown allegedly attacked Rihanna on Feb. 8.


"They're together again. They care for each other," a source source told the mag. "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

Brown reportedly called Rihanna last week to wish her a happy birthday.

"They reached out to each other. It's been mutual," said another source.

The two are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes.

This is wrong! I thought Rihanna would be smarter than this!

Do you think that Rihanna should take Chris Brown back?

No Doubt to appear on Gossip Girl finale

This is the kick-start to their reunion!

No Doubt (a.k.a. that band Gwen Stefani was once a part of) will be performing in the Gossip Girl finale on May 11.

Gwen Stefani
and her bandmates will perform "Stand and Deliver," an '80s anthem originally by Adam and the Ants.

The band will be reuniting this summer and are set to go on tour for the first time in five years. The tour begins May 3 in New Jersey and tickets will go on sale March 7.

Perhaps this will inspire the costume designers to include some L.A.M.B. frocks on GG!

DSquared2 to dress Britney for her Circus tour!

WWD is reporting today that designers Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2 have designed the costumes for Britney Spears's upcoming Circus tour!

The twin designers from Canada are no strangers to big-named celebrities; they sent Rihanna down their runway a few years ago, and have appeared in Fergie's "Clumsy" video.

The pair is said to have "reinterpreted clowns, trapeze artists and jugglers into a series of provocative looks for Spears and her dancers."

“We are enormous fans of Britney, and have been waiting for the perfect moment to collaborate with her,” the two told the paper. “It’s going to be wild.”

Britney's tour kicks off this Tuesday in New Orleans.

Can't wait to see how the costumes turn out!

New York Fashion Week - Fall 2009 RTW

Favourite looks (click photos to enlarge!):

Erin Fetherston - Romantic ballerina-esque dresses
a la Blair Waldorf.


Marc by Marc Jacobs - Some really cute men's looks,
which I definitely preferred over the women's wear.


Marchesa - Designer Georgina Chapman succeeded in
achieving her fairy-tale looks. This collection
left me breathless.

in New York. The blue number is something I can
definitely see Lady Gaga wearing!

Best Dressed: Taylor Momsen

Image via teenvogue.com

I'm falling more and more in love with little Jenny Humphrey's style!

Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen sported this stylish look after Anna Sui's Fall 2009 ready-to-wear show at New York Fashion Week.

Definitely a more girly, flirty look in comparison to her usual grungy wardrobe, but she still manages to keep a bit of rock-and-roll integrated into her outfit.

What do you think of Taylor's look?

Rihanna spotted in Mexico



This is just heartbreaking...

A picture is worth a thousand words, and Rihanna's face says it all.

A few weeks after receiving the alleged beating from her (hopefully soon to be ex) boyfriend, Chris Brown, the singer was photographed in Punta Mita, Mexico, where she is said to be spending time with her closest friends.

She has previously been spotted in Los Angeles and her native Barbados.

The photos surfed in the print edition of the New York Daily News.

The paper reports, "The shocking bruises that sources say boyfriend Chris Brown left on the songbird's face just before the Grammy Awards were not visible...Nor was she smiling."

Other than a few shots from the backseat of a car, this is the first time Rihanna has been photographed in public since the Feb. 8 altercation.

Brown on the other hand, has remained in seclusion, but is reportedly taking anger management classes in Glendale, Ca.

Last week, Rihanna broke the silence issuing a statement to her fans.

"At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown" says the statement from her rep. "She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time."

Let's hope her speedy recovery continues to go well, and that justice will soon be served!

Brittany Snow to star in GG spin-off!

Image via people.com

Star magazine is reporting that Brittany Snow will take the lead role as the young Lily van der Woodsen in the new Gossip Girl spin-off.

"Brittany is thrilled," a friend of the actress told the mag. "She loves the original show and thinks the 1980's concept sets the spin-off apart from other series on television. She can't wait to wear all the fabulous outfits and really sink her teeth into the role."

The 22-year-old who's appeared in Hairspray, and most recently, Prom Night, was said to be the top choice for producers. A deal has not been finalized, but the friend says Snow was made a terrific offer earlier this month, even without an audition.

The pilot episode is set to air on May 11.

Do you think Brittany Snow would be good for the show?

This is just awful...


This is what Chris Brown did to Rihanna. The photo was taken soon after Rihanna was allegedly attacked by Brown.

But after seeing this, I guess it really cannot be an "alleged" attack anymore.

Chris Brown releases a statement

Image via people.com

A week after the alleged attack Chris Brown made on his girlfriend, Rihanna, the singer has finally spoken.

The following statement was issued by a spokesman on behalf of Brown:

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person.

Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong.

While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else.

Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."

No mention whatsoever of Rihanna, however the fact that he is "seeking counselling" means he isn't denying the situation, right?

It's still too vague for any more details, but it's about time he's said something.

What do you think of Chris Brown's statement on the incident?

Lady Gaga - Love Game (Official Video)

She just doesn't stop!

Lady Gaga has come out with yet another music video. This one is for "Love Game."

The scene where she's bejeweled seems very Britney Spears-esque...in her "Toxic" music video, don't you think?

Check it out below!

Nick and Selena...together no more!

Image via eonline.com

Nick Jonas is finally publicly talking about his love life, and revealed that he is no longer with Selena Gomez!

Recently on The Insider, a Jonas Brothers fan asked the three heartthrobs if they were dating anyone.

Both Joe and Kevin replied with "no comment," but Nick admitted that he is single.

The brothers also made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and Letterman was able to get them to open up about their past relationships.

On his ex-girlfriend, Miley Cyrus, Nick said, "We went on tour with Miley. Again, going back to the ups and downs, I think that I was 14, so it's, you know, I was pretty young, so I think you can just consider it a young little relationship."

Poor Selena, I guess she'll be hanging out with Miley and Taylor Swift, two other ex-Jonas love interests, very soon!

I wonder which Disney star Nick will date next?

Best Dressed: Taylor Momsen


A true fashionista is a fashion chameleon. She is able to change her look, while still keeping her signature style.

Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen worked a beautiful green Marchesa gown to the Foundation for Aids Research Gala to kick off Fall 2009 Fashion Week in New York City.

Earlier, she rocked a leather jacket and skinny jeans on the set of GG.

Love them both!

Gossip Girl becomes reality!



Bravo is currently in the works of producing a Manhattan prep school docudrama.

The show is being described as the "real-life Gossip Girl" by insiders, and will follow the lives of New York City private school kids.

However, we all know that GG is filled with lots of sex, drugs and alcohol, and the network is concerned with the problems that would arise when they film these minors partying hard.

Reports are supporting Bravo's fears, reminiscing of the "controversy [that] arose during Laguna Beach when the underage cast members were shown drinking what was presumably alcohol at the house parties featured in the show."

Somehow, it seems like this show will just be an NYC version of Laguna Beach. I mean, do we really need another reality show full of spoiled, messed-up rich kids?

The GG characters are loveable...but I think we might just simply hate their real-life counterparts.

What do you think of a Gossip Girl reality show?

Robert Pattinson to portray Salvador Dalí

I didn't think he could seem any creepier than in his role as Edward Cullen, but I was wrong!

Twilight star, Robert Pattinson is taking on a new role...as the eccentric Spanish painter Salvador Dalí in the movie Little Ashes.

The film is set to open in late March.

Check out a clip from the film below!


Rihanna was in an abusive relationship with Chris Brown

Image via people.com

Regarding the alleged attack Chris Brown made against Rihanna, apparently this isn't the first time the "Forever" singer has hit his girlfriend.

Here is the police report of what happened:

An argument erupted between the two after Brown received a text message from a woman who wrote about getting together. That's when Brown started hitting Rihanna.

She then ordered him to drive her home and "faked a call" to someone, saying things like, "He's dropping me off. Make sure the cops are there."

This fake call supposedly sent Brown over the edge, which led him to say something like, "You are really fu**ed up now. I'm going to kill you." This statement is the basis of the criminal threats charge.

At this point, Brown allegedly began his violent attack with his fists. Somehow, Rihanna was able to take the keys out of the ignition and threw them outisde.

That's when Brown fled the scene.

According to the police report, Rihanna told cops this was not the first town Brown hit her, and referred to it as an ongoing and escalating abusive relationship.

Whether or not Brown will be given the more serious charge of criminal threat is not sure, but it's almost certain that he will be charged with felony domestic battery, as the photos of Rihanna's injuries are said to be enough proof.

Celebrity guest stars to appear on Gossip Girl

We all know to expect a lot of drama and great clothing from Gossip Girl, but now the producers are adding some real-life celebrities to the mix.

Moldy Peaches singer, Adam Green was filmed last week to appear on an upcoming episode along with the Misshapes, photographer Patrick McMullan, and supermodel Chanel Iman.

He told NY Mag that he plays a friend of Poppy's (Serena's socialite friend who told her to "let her light shine"), and that he and the other guests are attending a party thrown by Serena. At this party, she and Jenny get into an argument.

"She felt deceived in this scene because of what Serena told her about the nature of the party," said Green.

Miley Cyrus still receiving scrutiny for "racially offensive" photo



They're not letting her off easy this time!

Even after Miley Cyrus issued a second apology for her "racially offensive photo," Korean American comedian, Margaret Cho, was so outraged by Miley Cyrus' latest photo scandal that she wrote a song!

On her official blog, Cho writes

I am so upset by Miley Cyrus, I think it warrants a song!

Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of
Her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas!

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley

Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!

All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!


Additionally, a Los Angeles woman has filed a class-action lawsuit against Cyrus on behalf on the city's entire Asian Pacific Islander population. She claims they are all entitled to civil rights damages because of Cyrus' photo.

According to Lucie J. Kim, she and her "compliants" (which could theoretically be about 1 million people), are each entitled to $4,000 in damages.

The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court. It states Cyrus "knew or should have known that her images would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ."

Is this woman taking it too far?
At this rate, Miley's gonna hate Asians even more!

Chris Brown and Rihanna: More Updates

Image via people.com

Developments, rumours, and celebrity input involving Chris Brown's alleged attack against Rihanna have been flooding the media for the past couple of days.

Here are some of the updates about the incident:

What Happened:
  • A source revealed to E! News that Rihanna told police that Brown choked her while threatening to kill her and, as a result, she lost consciousness.

    The fight started when they left Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party on Saturday. Shortly after midnight, it escalated, and Brown pulled over the silver Lambourghini to the side of a street in L.A.'s Hancock Park neighbourhood.

    According to the source, Rihanna then grabbed the car keys and tossed them out the window, which sent Brown into a rage. He tried to find the keys, then came back to the car, put his hands around her neck, and said, "I'm going to kill you!"

    Rihanna told the police that by the time she regained consciousness, Brown had fled the scene. Her injuries (blackened right eye, swelling, and hand prints on her arms) concerned the responding officers so much, they drove her to the hospital instead themselves, instead of waiting for an ambulance.
  • Other sources say that Brown's alleged attack supposedly started with a text message he received from another female.

    The New York Daily News reported, "He got a booty call. He got a text. Rihanna saw it and she got upset. They started to argue. She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That's when she's told people he hit her."

Legal Matters:
  • A police source confirmed that Rihanna is providing "ongoing" cooperation with detectives.

  • The Los Angeles District Attorney's office asked police to do more investigative work before deciding to press charges against Brown for domestic violence. LAPD chief investigator, Detective Deshon Andrews, is keeping the case file closely guarded in order to keep anything from being leaked to the media. He did reveal, however, that 911 call recorded audio of "a screaming woman."

  • It has been confirmed that the 911 call was not made by Rihanna, but by a witness who spotted the altercation and called police. That witness will be key to the case.


Background Info:
  • Details have emerged that Brown has been in trouble with the law before.

    Life & Style
    magazine is reporting that in 2007, Miami police were called to Brown's hotel room because guests overheard him screaming and throwing dishes at his mother.

    A source said, "He was fighting with his mom. Neighboring hotel guests alerted security and they came upstairs to the room, saw the broken dishes and the mess, and then asked hi mother to leave the room. Plice were then called, but charges were not filed as Chris simply paid the hotel bill and left the hotel."

  • Other sources, who claim to be friends of Rihanna's, have revealed to Us Weekly that they noticed visible bruises on Rihanna's neck in early December. When they asked her if she was ok, Rihanna answered, "We broke up again."

Public Statements:
  • Neither Brown, nor Rihanna have made any statements to the public themselves.

  • Rihanna's publicist, Jana Fleishman issued a statement Sunday saying only that "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."

    Rihanna's grandmother, Clara Brathwaite has told the media, "I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well." Brathwaite also denied that Rihanna suffered from a broken nose.

  • From the Brown camp, his longtime stylist, Mike B., said, "Chris is all right. He's a good kid. He feels very bad that something like this has happened."

    Brown's sister, Lytrell Bundy, told Extra, "He's always been a good boy — never violent." When asked about how Brown is coping with the situation, she said, "He's doing good. He's coping... He's doing as... as to be expected."

    Another friend told People magazine, "You can tell everybody that Chris really feels bad about the whole situation, about it coming out the way that it happened, the way he went about it, the way she went about it … it's just a wack situation." The friend also said the story is "not as bad as everybody is trying to gas it up to be."


Celebrity Input:
  • Celebrities have also been quick to comment on the alleged incident:

    In an interview on Carson Daly's talk show, Brown's friend, rapper, T.I. said, “Yeah, I spoke to him today. He cool, you know. I guess he a little concerned about the situation, but he’s still the same Chris.” He later issued a statement saying he "made a mistake of commenting before understanding the situation."

    Rihanna's mentor, and the man who discovered her, rapper, Jay-Z was supposdly enraged when he heard that Brown allegedly hit Rihanna. A source said, "He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew."

    Actor Terrance Howard told the paparazzi, "Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right… Rihanna knows he loves her… Everybody just needs to get out of their way." He later retracted these "insensitive remarks," insisting that he didn't know about the alleged incident when he made the remarks.

    Rapper Kanye West told Ryan Seacrest, "I feel like that's my baby sis and I would do any and everything to help her in any situation."


Aftermath:
  • As a result of the alleged situation, Brown has cancelled a series of events associated with the NBA All-Star Game this weekend in Phoenix.

  • Rihanna has cancelled her 21st birthday bash. There were about 200 guests invited to the carnival-themed soiree, which was supposed to be held on February 20th in New York City. She has also postponed her concerts in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta.

  • Brown has been dropped by the Body by Milk campaign. The brand issued the following statement: "The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously. We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown’s ad was launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week."

  • Radio stations in the states, specifically WAKS "Kiss" FM 96.5 in Cleaveland, have dropped all of Brown's tracks from their playlists, after listeners called in outraged that his music was still being supported.

    The station's program director Bo Williams said, "I then made the decision to rid the whole station of Chris Brown songs while this plays out. We are fans of Chris Brown's music, and this is not something that will last forever. But it appears that Chris has made some poor choices, we are following the lead of our listeners, and we will not be supporting Chris Brown on 96.5 Kiss FM in Cleveland until the alleged situation gets resolved."

  • An inside source has revealed thet Brown has been trying to contact Rihanna: "Chris has been trying to contact her. So far she hasn't taken his call. Her family is on their way to be with her. She has some close girlfriend looking after her."

  • Brown's mugshot will not be released, as he was arrested within LA city limits. According to LA city law, mugshots are only released to the public if the individual poses a threat to the public or its distribution will assist in the criminal investigation.

  • A photo has been floating around depicting a bruised and battered Rihanna. It is not real, it's photoshopped.

Miley gives second apology for her "racially offensive" photo

Image via tp://www.freshnews.in

Miley Cyrus thought she was off the hook after her first "apology", in regards to her "racially offensive" photo.

But, the Organization of Chinese Americans called her out on it, demanding more.

George Wu, Executive Director of the OCA, said, "It's not a real apology. We're not backing down without a fuller apology."

Now Miley has posted the following statement on her official fansite:

"I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometime my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GODs ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be. Peace and love, Miles"

Seems like she put more effort into this one, but I highly doubt she really means what she says.

Do you think Miley's second apology was acceptable?

Chris Brown and Rihanna Update


TMZ.com is reporting that there are pictures of Rihanna's injuries which have been deemed "horrific."

The photos show major contusions on both sides of her face, and there is "serious" swelling and bruising.

Her lip is split and her nose is bloody, and there are confirmed bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

They also are reporting that Rihanna claimed that Chris Brown struck her with his fists, which is what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.

Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. TMZ was told that the photos alone are "devastating proof of abuse."

They've also learned that Rihanna did not call 911, but rather a person in the area who heard her screams.

Rihanna's family is reportedly planning to to get her out of L.A. to keep her away from Brown.

A member of Rihanna's inner circle says, "They [her family] want to get her back to Barbados. They want to keep her away from Chris right now."

Her record label has suppsedly hinted that her scheduled concert in Malaysia this Friday will be cancelled.

Chris Brown arrested for allegedly assaulting Rihanna


Image via celeb.wohoo.co.uk

The big news of the day was not about the winners of last night's Grammy awards, but rather, about the reason why Chris Brown and Rihanna did not show up.

Brown, 19, was busy surrendering himself to police at 6:34 PST, and was charged with a felony in connection with a domestic violence incident involving 20-year-old Rihanna, the night before, police and sources say. He was officially booked at 7:41 p.m. for making criminal threats, and was released on $50, 000 bail.

Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna after the Clive Davis pre-Grammys tribute event on Saturday night.

Sources say the alleged assault occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday. Responding to a 911 call about a disturbance, the LAPD took statements from Robyn Fenty (Rihanna's real name) with visible injuries (some reports say contusions and bites), who named Brown as her attacker. Brown fled the scene before authorities arrived.

A few hours after the incident, witnesses spotted Brown and Rihanna leaving the London Hotel together at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, and bodyguards for the couple were seen moving their luggage out of the London during the Grammy telecast.

Brown is scheduled to appear in court on March 5th, and has hired attorney Mark Geragos, who is best knwon for defending Winona Ryder after her 2001 shoplifting arrest and Michael Jackson during his child molestation trial.

Insiders are supposedly shocked with this incident and said that"Chris is a good kid, well brought up."

But, Brown's family does have a history of domestic violence.

In 2007, he told Giant magazine that his mother had been physically abused by his stepfather.

"He used to hit my mom," Brown told the magazine. "He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day . . . ' I hate him to this day."

As a response to this incident, Wrigley's has dropped Brown as their spokesman for Doublemint gum (remember this commercial?), and has suspended all ad campagins featuring the singer until they see how things turn out in the case.

Their full statement reads:

"Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved."

Why Chris Brown, why?
I'm so disappointed in him.

The 21-year-old British actor wears an updated version of the K-Swiss "Classic" shoe.

Maybe we'll get a glimpse of them in an upcoming GG episode?

Check out more photos below:

Ed + Jessica = <3!



Early in December, Gossip Girl co-stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were spotted kissing at the Dallas airport, before heading home after the holidays.

Well, it seems like the two are still going strong, as they were photographed together at the basketball game in Madison Square Garden on Monday.

The two make a cute couple, but let's see how long this lasts!



Miley addresses her "racially offensive" photo

Image via people.com

I've been waiting for this response!

Earlier this week, a photo deemed "racially insensitive" of Miley Cyrus circulated on the internet.

The photo is of Miley and her friends pulling their eyes slanted, while sitting next to an Asian American boy.

The OCA, an Asian American advocacy group, spoke up about this photo, and the executive director, George Wu, said:

"Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans. The inclusion of an Asian Pacific American individual in the photo does not make it acceptable. OCA hopes that Miley Cyrus will apologize to her fans and the APA community for this lapse in judgment and takes the opportunity to better understand why the gesture is offensive."

Miley disregarded this controversy until she posted this message on her official fansite:

"Ive also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!

In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy
face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!"

I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!

You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized.

Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and Acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! =] It will be a nice change to be back out on the road
again! xoxo Blessings.. Miley =)"

Coming from a Chinese family, I was outraged when I saw this photo, and even more frustrated with her response. Putting the blame on the media, and not directly apologizing for her actions just shows how "Christian" Cyrus is.

What do you think of Miley's "apology?"

Clay Aiken to join America's Next Top Model

Weird, but true!

The former American Idol contestant, Clay Aiken will be a guest judge on America's Next Top Model.

A rep. for the show confirmed that the 30-year-old singer will be featured on the April 8th episode, working with the aspiring models in an acting challenge.

Even though Aiken's been performing in Spamalot on broadway, he's seems kind of unqualified for the job. This seems more like Tyra Banks getting one of her friends on the show.

’s twelfth cycle premieres on Wednesday, February 25.

Taylor Momsen: Fashion DO or DON'T?


Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen rocked a Jen Kao ensemble during a screening of He's Just Not that Into You in New York on Wednesday.

I know she's only 15, and that she's really getting into the whole "rocker" look that Jenny Humphrey has adopted on the show, but what is with those striped leggings?

Is this a fashion risk that works, or simply a disaster?

Paris Fashion Week: Spring Couture 2009

Although work and school have been taking over my life for the past little while, I was able to quickly peek at the Spring Couture during my study breaks.

I fell in love with Chanel's structured silhouettes, and the exquisite paper-flower tiaras created by Japanese hairdresser Kamo, and Dior's full fifties-styled skirts, with the tight waistlines, along with the extravagant platforms.

Here are some of my favourite looks from these collections:
