UK’s most stylish lady to add star value to Longchamp.
Rock’ n Travel zebra travel bag
French accessories brand, Longchamp has signed on the uber stylish Kate Moss to design a signature line of handbags. The collection will be labeled Kate Moss for Longchamp and, judging from what we’ve seen so far on reports via online blogs, the bag which is called “Gloucester” looks like the kind of bag that will never go out of style, with Kate’s vintage touches all over it.
The “Gloucester” is a grainy cognac-coloured leather bag with zebra print lining and buckle details. Tres simple and stylish, just like Ms. Moss herself. Kate is said to be launching two collections a year for Longchamp under this collaboration.
Bags are in store now, take a look at the Glastonbury bag and the Soho clutch bags !

Bulgari goes light and breezy with BLV Eau d’Eté.
BLV Eau d’Eté is Bulgari’s latest scent and is scheudule to hit Hong Kong stores in February, but really it’s a summer eau de toilette for women.
BLV Eau d’Eté starts off with a hint of mint and Italian lemon, with middle notes of iris and cinnamon. Natural benzoin and fir balsam ground the scent and finish it off. It’s fresh, feminine and light – like the smell of a cool breeze blowing through the ocean, with light hints of citrus and a warm floral amber accord. Even the packaging is reminiscent of warm days spent at the beach, with different hues of blues on the box and a sparkly top cap that sparkles as if reflecting bright sunlight.
Come summer, we probably have a good idea of what scent we’ll be reaching for. However, a spritz of it now to brighten up the cold, dreary days is not a bad idea!

Choose from a rainbow of Warhol-Inspired shades from the Lipstick Queen.
Joyce Beauty introduces a fun new lipstick concept for Spring 2010.
Get poppy and colorful with Poppy King, the Lipstick Queen’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame Pop Art Gloss. For those not familiar with the Queen Of Lipstick, Poppy’s story started in 1992. When Poppy, 18 years old and fresh out of high school in Melbourne, Australia, couldn’t find the shade of lipstick that she really wanted, she decided to make her own. Her obsession with lipstick and her quest to create just that perfect shade led to the creation of her own brand. Since then, her lipsticks have become wildly popular, hence the her title, Lipstick Queen.
The Fifteen Minutes of Fame Pop Art Gloss sees Poppy taking inspiration from Andy Warhol, where he famously predicted modern celebrity in his quote that “In the future everyone will be famous for minutes” . The Pop Art Gloss line consists of 15 shades ranging from the palest of pinks to deep wines. The gloss are made in non-sticky, moisturizing formula filled with special emollients and Vitamin E and comes in 2 sizes, regular and mini gloss pens.
