Victoria Beckham to Make Matching Mommy-Daughter Dresses. Squeee!

In feel-good fashion news of the day: Victoria Beckham will design a set of mommy-daughter dresses to benefit Born Free Africa, a nonprofit with the mission to end mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015.

 
First off, we always give props for supporting a good cause. Secondly, how adorable are these dresses? If you have a toddler daughter (or want to borrow a friend's), love the mother-daughter twinsies thing, and secretly want to channel  the Beckhams (because why not?), now's your chance.

According to Vogue U.K., Victoria joins additional top-notch fashion names, including supermodel Gisele Bundchen and designers Daine von Furstenberg, Rachel Roy, and Stella McCartney, to benefit the cause.
(Check out some sketches from the line!) the charity is close to the working mom's heart--Victoria visited the charity in person back in February.
All the adorbs mommy-kid sets will be available on April 23 on shopbop.com. Hee's hoping Victoria Tweets a pic of herself and Harper in the matching dresses. I mean.....

Nina Dobrev Wore the Prettiest Prom Hairstyle This Weekend

And it couldn't be easier to replicate.
While promoting The Vampire Dairies at PaleyFest this weekend, the gorgeious Nina Dobrev stepped up in an ultra-feminine half-up hairstyle, topped off with a bow.

The look was quite a departure for Dobrev who normally favors a casual loose wave to more obviously pretty styles like this. It's almost like she took a page out of Ariana Grande's book, and we have to say: We love it! In fact, it was the perfect way to offset her edgy dress, which had tough-girl details like studs and a cutout.
If you're rocking a stand out ensemble like NIna's, let this serve as prime hairstyle inspiration for prom. To get a similar look, texture products are key. (Nina has a serious head of hair!) Spray damp hair all over with Bumble and Bumble's Thickening Spray, then concentrate a bit of volumizing mousse at the roots to mid-length. Flip your hair upside down while you blow-dry, roughing up your roots with your fingers as you go to get a solid amount of ligt. After your hair is dry, try tonging sections with a curling wand in alternating directions to get a bit of a bend in the hair, then rake the culs out with your fingers so it doesn't look too "done".
Afterward, you can either backcomb sections at the crown of your head, or use a texturizing spray to give a little more grip to the hair. (Try lifting hair at the crown, then blasting Redken Quick Tease Backcombing Finishing Spray at the root.) Then, grab a grosgrain ribbon and tie your bow! The texture in your hair will make sure the bow stays put, but you can add bobby pins in a matching color to lock it in place.
Follow Nina's lead and wear it with a long, daring dress, or go the Ariana Grande route and pair it with a princess  look for prom. Or, better yet? Wear it with a super-cool athletic-inspired sweatshirt and channel your inner cheerleader. Bring it on!

Kate Middleton Does a Ponytail

Kate Middleton put her perfect hair in a perfect ponytail yesterday at a wreath-laying service at a war memorial in New Zealand, and, of course, the whole thing was perfect.

The ponytail itself was smooth and tight, but there are two noteworthy things to discuss:
1)Her ends are slightly flippy so the "tail" looks extra full.
2)A rather substantial lock of hair was wrapped around the holder, holding it our from her head quite a bit. It was simple, but all very Duchess Catherine. A royal ponytail indeed.

Happy Birthday - Marc Jacobs !

Fashion designer, groundbreaker, icon Marc Jacobs turns 51 today! But what do you get a guy who has pretty much everything? Our heartfelt love and gratitude, that's what. So to celebrate the man, the myth, the legend here are six reasons we adore Marc Jacobs.

"Who me?"  Marc Jacobs in a Commes Des Garcons dress and his boxers at the 2012 Met Gala


Because before all you ladies rocked that undies-showing-through-your-dress thing, Marc did it first.

Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Moss at the 2011 British Fashion Awards Because he has the coolest friends and gets to hang out with these ladies.

Marc Jacobs plays the buffer between Lady Gaga and Madonna backstage at his spring 2010 show. KIDDING. And THESE.

 Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy Because he dressed up like a bird for his 2011 holiday party and totally owned it.

Marc Jacobs before the Louis Vuitton spring 2014 runway show at Paris Fashion Week  Because Marc sometimes goes to work in his pajamas and carries his stuff in a dopp kit. Marc. Because he can.

Louis Vuitton spring 2013 runway show  Because there ain't runway show, like a Marc Jacobs runway show. Remember the glorious sets he created for Louis Vuitton? The mod escalators, the train pulling into the station, er, venue the tent outside the Louvre, and the freakin' carousel?! Thank goodness he has his own line--still dying over postapocalytic beach scene from spring 2014--to continue the mind-blowing fun.

Because even though his designs may be on the aspirational end of the spectrum, Marc still makes high fashion accessible to all through innovative social media, live-streaming his runway shows (everyone's FRONT ROW, yo) and casting his fall campaign via Instagram .

So, This Is Happening: Monica Lewinsky's Clothing, Lingerie Up for Auction

Monica Lewinsky's wardrobe and personal effects from her time spent as a White House intern are on the auction block. The raciest item is a black negligee, but there are also a few button-down shirts, blazers, an Ann Taylor jacket, navy blue DKNY pants, letters written on official White House stationery and old boxes of M&M's with the presidential seal. One item not on sale: that infamous blue dress. All of the items were originally obtained as part of the federal investigation into Monica's affair with President Bill Clinton.
If you thought this story was weird, get a load of this: Apparently some of the items, at some point, were given by Monica to her former lover Andy Bleiler as gifts, but now they are all owned by his ex-wife, Kate, according to ABC.

There are so many unanswered questions here that my head is spinning. Why would Monica give some of these items to her old boyfriend? Why would his ex-wife have possession of them now?

The entire lot is allegedly worth $25,000 and $50,000, and bidding ends on Thursday. ABC reported that Monica lives in the U.K. now and wasn't available to comment.
