Paris Hilton to launch children clothing line: Paris Hilton will be adding "Children's Clothing Designer" to her long list of business ventures. 

Hilton already has her own lines of perfumes, jewelry, shoes, pet clothes and women's wear, but she'll soon be adding kids clothes to the list.

She wrote on her Twitter page: "Just got home from a long day. About to start drawing the character for my new children's clothing line." 

Paris' former BFF Nicole Richie has also expressed her desire to launch a kids clothing line, but as a mom, and a style icon, we have a feeling she'll have better luck with it.

Cartier celebrates their 100th anniversary

Diamonds are a girl's Best friend: Can we say A-list? Last night Cartier celebrated their 100th Anniversary and we must say they have never looked better.

Anne Hathaway, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Kate Hudson and Elton John were on hand to help blow out some of Cartier's candles.

Although Kate Hudson looked amazing in a barely there ensemble, it was her jewelry that definitely caught the eye. Kate was dripping in over $1million dollars worth of diamonds at last night's event. What recession??

Anne Hathaway stayed modest as she was rocking over $500,000 worth of Cartier jewels. 

Not to be left out, Justin Timberlake also decided to accessorize with some serious bling. He accessorized with a diamond panther tie pin and some serious diamond cufflinks.

Besides looking good, all of this excess and luxury was also for a good cause. The birthday bash was benefiting Service Nation, an organization that encourages volunteering. Happy Birthday Cartier!

Summer fashions

If the thought of lots of bare skin this summer makes you want to hide under a baggy cardigan, take a fresh look at how to make fashion work for you right now.

1. Flirty Skirts
   Don't be intimidated by skirts: the best skirts are cute AND forgiving (not something that happens in fashion very often, so jump on this!) Try a flared, knee-length silhouette. It can be in any fabric with a soft hand (most denim doesn't qualify) like washed linen, rayon or cotton. Gentle tiers, or a fuller A-line silhouette that gently comes out from the hip looks great on most women.

   Solids and prints are both great in a summer skirt. Pair with a fitted T or other soft top (washed linen, woven cotton, etc.) Wedge heels are fine for dressier looks, but flat sandals are easy for casual wear.

   In finding your perfect skirt length, remember that fashion wisdom says a skirt should never be wider than it is long. Asymmetrical or hankie hems are a great camouflage treatment for bottom-heavy figures; pleats and flounces will you give you curves below the waist if you lack them.
   
   

2. Florals
   If you've passed on head-to-toe blooms because you think only girly types can carry them off, take a look at some of the newer florals. From watercolor to mod prints, these florals are anything but old fashioned. One easy way to try the trend is to pick up a floral print handbag.

   Keep prints in proportion to your shape: larger frames look best in bigger blooms; petite frames can carry off allover, ditsy (tiny) prints. Either way, prints that have the bloom closer together (less blank space in between) will make your frame look smaller, while wide-spaced flowers will make you look larger.

3. Tank Tops
   Many women keep bare arms under wraps all season just because they think tank tops are too skimpy. One way to get rid of the skimpies is to layer tank tops. Just pick two complementary colors and layer away. Lightweight cotton jersey is ideal for layering (skip the ribbed styles for this because even tiny ribbing adds bulk).

   Some tanks can go braless because they have a built-in bra; many manufacturers make camis with built-ins as well.

   Pass on the urge to let your bra straps hang out (tacky, even if it slips in and out of style) and turn to retailers like Land's End which always carries a tank with modest enough straps to sport a bra, too.
   
   

4. 2-Piece Swimsuit
   Think a 2-piece swimsuit can only be a bikini? Nope, and actually some of the modern 2-piece swimsuits are actually more flattering than 1-piece swimwear. The new 2-pieces owe their flattery to a longer top and bottoms with lots of coverage.

   To cover a tummy bulge, opt for a 2-piece that has a long, loose top like the one pictured. To smooth out lower body flaws, choose a 2-piece with a short skirt attached. If you're skeptical about the coverage of a longer 2-piece, you can even find a mock 2-piece which has a fabric lining underneath. It gives you the smooth lines, but more security.
   
   

5. Shorts
   If dimples, veins or pasty legs keeping you from airing out your gams in the heat, opt for a compromise. There is a short for every woman, you just have to find your perfect look. One of the most wearable lengths is a walking short that is a couple of inches above the knee.

   Depending on your body type, you can tweak the length of shorts to flatter your figure.

Trendy Wears 

A trend is driven by demographics, lifestyle, technology -  it movesforward steadily and relentlessly. Trendy phenomenon  or fads - often seem to spring up overnight, burn intensely and then die out just as rapidly. "Trendy" looks good but generally does not fit into the pattern of people's lives. 

Flowery pink shirts do not fit into the pattern of men's lives and hence, need to be classified as 'trendy. Checks and pinstripes are bowing out to colors, frill and funk. Men's wardrobes are resembling women's, with embroidered collars, patchwork pieces and retro prints."

Teenage boys and girls in kerala are taking to trendy fashions on a large scale. This is clearly visible in some of the top notch colleges in kerala especially in major cities like Ernakulam and Trivandrum.
