- The feds seized $76.8 million in counterfeit Burberry, Coach, Fendi, Prada, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and other fashionable items as part of a six week sting appropriately titled “Operation Holiday Hoax.” [WWD]

- Oh, Rihanna. Following a legal flip of the weave by David LaChapelle over copying his photographs for her “S&M” video, the pop tart looks to have turned her pilfering eye on the work of Sølve Sundsbø with her latest clip, “You Da One.” [Fashionista]

- Mark Fisher, who produces the controversial shoes Derek Lam has accused Ivanka Trump of “blatantly” copying from him, “strongly denies Lam’s claims.” Fisher argues that Lam’s design “has been used by numerous manufacturers for many decades” and adds for good measure, ”There is nothing iconic about the appearance of the Lam sandal.” Calling a man’s wedge sandal not iconic? Dem’s fightin’ words. [WWD]

- Oooh-la-la…oh, no. No. French health authorities are recommending that 30,000 women who received potentially defective breast implants from a French company have them removed as a preventative measure. [NYT]

- Brittany Murphy‘s mother is claiming her daughter and son-in-law Simon Monjack were killed by toxic mold found in their Hollywood home. The mold apparently caused the pneumonia that killed both Murphy and Monjack and now Momma Murphy is taking legal action against her lawyers for mishandling her case against the construction company back in January. [TMZ]

- And speaking of former reality stars I didn’t know/care were still around, Paris Hilton on the cover of Vanity Fair Spain, ladies and gentlemen. [Huffington Post]

- Derek Lam has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Ivanka Trump claiming she “blatantly and intentionally copied” his Ayami wedge sandal. Well she’s a Trump, did you think she’d copy it with any degree of subtlety? [WWD]

- The Kardashians are suing Star Magazine for libel after the tabloid broke news that they were using child labor and sweatshops in China to manufacture their products. Turns out the head of the Institute for Global Labor and Human Rights was operating on hearsay and assumption. Did no one ever tell him that when you assume you make an ass out of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe — and they can do that fine all by themselves, thank you. [TMZ]

- For some over-privileged boys and girls, Christmas will come a few days late this year.  Due to technical issues of some sort, Barneys has had to cancel several online holiday orders. No, Virginia, there isn’t a Santa Claus because Santa’s IT elves are slacking this season. [Racked]

- Carine Roitfeld‘s had one hell of a year and she wants everyone at Vogue Paris to know it, especially that Emmanuelle Alt. Regarding the loss of Alt’s friendship after 10 years, Roitfeld had this to say: “Maybe this was not supposed to be a friendship. If I look at the balance, maybe I lost some people I thought were my friends, but I made so many new friends. I am very happy, in the end, because I am the winner.” Well, it’s nice to know she’s not bitter. [NYT]

Let’s see, we have:

- Michael Kors celebrating his three decades at Bergdorf Goodman, along with live performances and their “BG Best in Show,” featuring designers such as Joseph Altuzarra, Reem Acra and Pamella Roland trotting down the runway with their dogs

- Live performances from Kelly Rowland and Joss Stone at Macy’s Herald Square, with appearances by Tommy Hilfiger, Rachel Roy and Amar’e Stoudemire

- Rachel Zoe and Erin Wasson will show face at Bloomingdale’s

- Jade Jagger will launch her new jewelry line at Henri Bendel’s

- Lord & Taylor will have Solange Knowles on the turntables and an appearance by Ivanka Trump

- Saks Fifth Ave will feature appearances by the inimitable Tilda Swinton with Pringle of Scotland designer Alistair Carr and Central Saint Martins professor/Kanye West mentor Louise Wilson, while Ne-Yo performs and signs hats

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of  events listed on FNO’s website and you can filter through all of them by neighborhood, category or specialty. FNO also has an iPhone/Android app to help you plan your itinerary on the go thus ensuring this year you can make as many regrettable, booze-induced purchases as possible. [WWD]

The Suit: Everyone knows that the suit makes the man and that’s why the Don wouldn’t be caught dead not wearing one. There are many suits that a guy can wear that will carry the same presence. For the more conservative exec a plain black suit that fits well is always recommended and adding a pinstripe in your repertoire will have people appreciating you attention to detail. For a bolder guy a suits with materials that have a little sheen are great and if you really want to turn head goes with a color like cranberry. (SEE: Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Brooks Brothers & Topman)

The Shirt: The same rules apply for the shirt as it did for the suit. You rarely see Donald on Celebrity Apprentice wearing a non solid color (or white for that matter) shirt. To make this look your own bust out this this mindset and go for your patterns. It’s always cool when you take your jacket off and there is a completely new look there. (SEE: Bloomindale’s, Saks, & Mr. Porter)

The Tie: When it comes to style I feel like if you walked into Trump Towers without a tie you would be fired immediately. The Trump man keeps it pretty simple with his neck wear. To add some spice go for a tie with patterns or even switch up the texture by adding knit and silk ties to your collection. (SEE: Ties.com, 21MEN, & EXPRESS)

Ivanka tip of the day: What are the 3 essential pairs every women’s wardrobe should have?

“Sensible pointy midheel- they’re timeless, yet really of-the-moment; the perfect ballet flat to go with everything; and a dazzling pair of red carpet heels–if you own them, you will find a place to wear them.”

Perhaps the upgrade from those Jessica Simpson heels check out the rest of the collection at the always perfect  Nordstom

Famous attendees also included Ivanka Trump, Anne Heche, and Brad Goreski.

Everyone gathered at the Salvatore Ferragamo store to support socially responsible initiative.  The line benefits Acumen Fund, a nonprofit organization that addresses poverty in South Asia and East Africa through investments in business that delivers critical goods and services to low-income families.

Ferragamo WORLD is now available on Ferragamo.com

It seems like the best thing that this Irina Shayk or Sheik model chick could have done was date that super Euro douche Chritiano Ronaldo, she’s everywhere these days. That’s not true, the best thing she could have done was squeeze her sexy little ass into that tight ass dress she’s wearing. Jesus! I get that models are supposed to make everything they wear look good, but this is ridiculous. I would give up my first born for a piece of this action. I’m not kidding, I think he’s about eleven now and living in Fresno.

LINK LOVE:Irina Shayk Is Way Too Damn Hot!

I’m still not sure what I’m supposed to call this Russian hottie, sometime she’s known as Irina Sheik, sometimes she’s Irina Shayk, but for the sake of this post I’m going to call her my new internet girlfriend. Here she is topless on the cover of GQ magazine. Alright so she’s not topless in every picture, but the ones where she was forced to cover up, she does it with various skimpy see through outfits. Thank you. Now if only I can get her to distance herself from that soccer Euro-douche we’d be in business. Call me.

Ivanka Trump is one of the world’s most beautiful women (and most stunning bride we’ve seen in a long time), and why she married ‘him’ we’ll never know (def not money cuz she has a shitload herself). Wearing custom Vera Wang, and jewelry from her own collection, Ivanka and Jared got married in front of 500 guests at daddy’s country club in jersey. Supposedly, she’s now one of my people (Jewish) since the ceremony was traditional orthodox.

Thanks Just Jared for the pics

So, who’s next? Tyra for Tyson chicken? Paris Hilton for Happy Meals? 

Thanks ICYDK!

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but what the hell. I feel like I’m wasting my money when I buy some stupid designer hair product, but I am not dumb enough to buy this crap. If I cared that much about what olive oil I was using I would go to the grocery store and buy the best one they had. This is like going to Compton to figure out who the next big country music sensation is. Unless there is some new cool cosmetic use for olive oil that would cause A.P.C to do this I am deeming this the dumbest collaboration (?) ever. Combine this with David Beckham’s fish sticks, and Ivanka Trumps new microwavable meals and you have the most fashionably pathetic heart attack.

*Please note, this is in no way related to the fact that I hate food. I was recently accused of being anorexic by a reader, and I want to clear it up that due to the economic climate I can’t afford food so LAY OFF!

Thanks to Selectism.
