Up date your T-shirt!!


While piling on pendant necklaces is an easy way to update a basic T-shirt, the all-too-common skull and owl options are beginning to look tired. Strung on a brass chain, this vintage-inspired ivory hand pendant is decidedly unique. It’s interesting enough to be worn on its own, or you can layer it with your go-to favorites for a dose of something new.

GAP's kids Collection are finding its way to many Adult celebrities Wardrobe !!


Two years ago, the Gap brand raised its cool quotient, signing Stella McCartney to design a capsule collection. Ms. McCartney’s child-size military jacket with braid trim was snapped up by aficionados like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who wore it to perform on French television. A forthcoming Gap Kids collaboration with Diane von Furstenberg is likely to attract its own quirky following.
The children’s collection, Sizes 2 to 14 (and up to 18 online), appeals to matchstick-slender types like the actress Kristin Chenoweth, who calls herself a fan, and Jenne Lombardo, a branding consultant. Ms. Lombardo, a mother of three, shops at the chain for her sons, and for herself as well. She said she found the children’s line to fit better, and to be more distinctive, than Gap’s adult-size offerings.

Well, Agent Provocateur's Soiree collection has a fancy little one that costs$24,000. Why? Because it's made of handmade tassels, Swarovski glass beads, your dignity, and is available exclusively at Harrods.
