Miranda Kerr’s Vogue Turkey

MirandaKerr_vogue_fashionmunster_com

Have you ever seen an advertisement or even a photo that Miranda Kerr looks unflattering in? I don’t think it’s possible for her to look bad, and this Vogue cover is no exception.

Wearing wide legged pants, and a loose deep cut top; this is a rare look for Miranda. Daring, that’s for sure!  I think this Victoria’s Secret model could wear track pants and still look amazing.

What do you think of this cover? What is your favorite Miranda Kerr look?

Louboutin Beauty Collection

christian-louboutin-722x406

The red soles. The magical styles. Instantly we think of the infamous Christian Louboutin; and with good reason! His shoes are masterpieces, works of pure art. Of course, like any other pair of designer shoes, these legendary red soles come with a high price.

Coming in 2013 everyone worldwide will be able to have a piece of Louboutin Heaven. Christian Louboutin has created a luxury beauty line! The line, called Christian Louboutin Beauté, will be produced with New York-based beauty company Batallure Beauty.

This beauty line will be more affordable for the everyday beauty queen. Although, I imagine the make-up line will still be on the higher price side, it will be less than the average $1000 for a pair of Louboutin’s masterpieces.

I recently came to own my first pair of Christian Louboutins. After lusting every paid ever created, I still found myself having a “need” for the Ariella Studded Booties. These booties were seen on the likes of Mary-Kate Olsen, Rachel Bilson, Ashley Olsen and Beyonce. Now that they are in my closet, I feel that every woman (and man!) should own at least one pair of these works of art. In 2013, everyone will be able to have that red sole hue on their lips and nails without breaking the banks. Be excited Munsters!

Louboutin told WWD rather vaguely the collection would be “very constructed, quite different and unexpected.” Here’s a hint: He was inspired by the bust of Nefertiti that is housed at the Neues Museum in Berlin (at right). “It’s the most beautiful thing,” he told WWD. “I stayed like an hour just looking at the bust. It’s a perfect beauty and the makeup is quite perfect.”

Will you Munster’s be lining up to get a piece of Louboutin’s beauty line?

Homemint

Homemint is the newest to join the Mint family with celebrities like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rachel Bilson, and Kate Bosworth.

Homemint is going to have a masculine touch, as Justin Timberlake is teaming up with his longtime interior designer, Estee Stanley to bring home goods and art to the Mint chain.

“I like very clean, almost modern architecture, and the obstacle with something like that is making it extremely warm, because it doesn’t naturally lend itself to that. With everything we do together, we try to get the juxtaposition right. To make pieces and rooms that are multifaceted, that blend different genres of architecture and design,” Justin told ElleDecor.com

This unique line will be available early May 2012. Unlike the other “Mint” sites, you do not have to be a member to shop this site, although members who pay the $10 monthly fee will be eligible for discounts on the Homemint products. The prices from what I can see range from 10$ to 2000$, this is not like StyleMint or ShoeMint where there is a set price for the products.

Sign up for Homemint at www.homemint.com and preview the collection, and make sure not to miss the launch of the site in Early May! I am sure that the premiere pieces will sell quickly!

Louis Vuitton RTW Fall 2012

LouisVuitton

The Louis Vuitton Fall 2012 RTW fashion show was on March 7th in Paris. The invitations had tassles and looked like a boarding pass, if this wasn’t hint enough for the lucky people invited to the show they were well surprised with the entrance. The entrance was a old fashioned train where Marc Jacob’s models would come out of followed by a Porter who carried Louis Vuitton luggage.

The whole idea and sense of magic of the train created a definite vibe for the fashion show. The Louis Vuitton show has been talked about as one of the best from Paris Fashion Week and definitely one of the most memorable.

The collection itself was classic, with chic cuts and colours. The whole collection seemed as if it came from a different time (perhaps the 20’s). The pieces may seem like nothing to marvel at but they all have such embroidery that would make anyone want to just look at the pieces for hours; think checkerboards and baubles.

The Louis Vuitton show was attended by fashion’s most loved like Sarah Jessica Parker.

Enjoy the photos from the show (via Style.com) and let us know what your favorite piece was!

Trending: Sorbet

fashionmunster2

Sorbet, oh I love it. I’m not even talking about the ice cream! First seen at Chanel then cemented by Louis Vuitton as a major trend for 2012, it’s girly, it’s sugary, it’s beautiful and it’s taking over the fashion world. This trend is a lot quieter than last year’s Trend: ‘colour blocking’, yet it’s still a bit more interesting than minimalism, it is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air for fashionista’s wardrobe’s worldwide.

Seen on flowy gowns for Dior, structured blazers for Givenchy and office appropriate pencil skirts at Jil Sander this palette is meant for every occasion. My personal favorite is the classic blouse by Chanel worn with a ballerina type skirt. You can wear these with countless other pieces. The other exciting thing about the sorbet colour palette is that there are endless combinations for outfits! Appropriate for any occasion. These sorbet colours even go well with each other! Just imagine this: a bright baby pink blouse with mint green pants, or a sky blue blazer with a yellow sherbet skirt.  There are so many combinations that my closet is begging me to buy one piece of every colour, I am not sure how my bank account will feel about this; but I will definitely be right on trend!

If you love the Sorbet trend as much as Fashion Munster does you can even invest in sorbet coloured nail polish! You can find these colours with brands like: Dior, Essie, OPI, Butter

But do not fear, Fashion Munster has the “in” on where to buy affordable clothing pieces too! Bring less stress to your wallet by going and checking out the Sorbet coloured pieces at Urban Outfitters, Modcloth, and Forever21.

Manolo Blahnik Collaboration

Jcrew

Verified by Fashionista.com Manolo Blahnik is collaborating with J. Crew! This is one collaboration that I won’t be missing out on. There hasn’t been a set price released just yet, but looking at the history of collaborations you should be able to pick up one of the greatest shoe maker in the world designs for a decent price! Start saving Munsters, this is one collaboration that will no doubt have more of a reaction than the infamous Missoni for Target.
