Macy’s is fighting to stave off a deal Martha signed with JC Penney — allegedly behind their back — while trying to keep the brand all to themselves. Stewart had sold a 16.6% stake in its company to J.C. Penney back in December to begin selling there in February 2013, directly after the deal with Macy’s was set to expire. However, Macy’s decided to extend its contract with the brand for another five years on January 23, the same day it also decided to sue Martha and co. Macy’s is now seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia from going any further in its deal with Penney’s, though that deal is still a year away.

“MSLO’s announcement of its deal with J.C. Penney…devalued the Martha Stewart products that Macy’s is currently selling, in ways that are not calculable,” Macy’s claims in its breach of contract suit. “MSLO has severely damaged the ‘crucial connection’ between Macy’s and Martha Stewart that Macy’s has devoted years and tens of millions of dollars to developing; it has destroyed the public perception that Macy’s is the only place a consumer can turn to to purchase Martha Stewart home products in key categories.”

The suit also makes reference to that dark, poncho-filled time in Martha’s life when she was sent to prison and her company’s image and reputation were subsequently tarnished: “At the time Macy’s negotiated and entered into the agreement in 2005 and early 2006, the ‘Martha Stewart’ brand was under pressure by very public proceedings and their aftermath involving Ms. Stewart.”

Well, if Macy’s wins this case, things are going to be super awkward at the dinner table and no amount of parsley can garnish away the things said in the heat of battle. [WWD, sub req'd]

I hear you’ve been in the works with this Macy’s project for over a year. When you started, did you know that Karl Lagerfeld had signed on, and the great roster of talent they were gathering?

I knew that Karl was involved. I have to be honest, he was a big motivator for me. I’ve always been a fan of Giambattista Valli, and Karl Lagerfeld is like God.

Which of your strongest aesthetics did you apply to designing this collection?

Definitely the element of jersey. I’m known for this elegant ease and I think that’s what I wanted to convey. It’s not the same jersey we use for the collection, but it’s a beautiful modal and I think it’s so modern. It’s great that they’re able to make it accessible for so many people.

What are you most excited about for your show this Fashion Week?

I love the process. During fashion week, there’s a rhythm to it. Everything feels great, and then you feel the emotion that comes with it; the momentum picks up. You work with all these creative minds and it’s so great to see it all come together. We have a rack for the clothes with about five pieces on there. And it’s amazing how fast things happen as you get closer to the day. Before you know it, it’s 3 days before styling and that rack just fills up, 10 more pieces, 20 more pieces, 30 more pieces! I don’t know how it happens! But it just does. And then things get faster. We’re working there 24/7 and it feels like 2 hours have gone by. It’s Fashion Law. Something happens where time gets sped up, but everything speeds up, the amount of clothes that are produced, the energy level, the creativity and I love that rhythm.

Macy’s’ deal with Martha was apparently set to expire at the end of the month, and perhaps to rain all over Penney’s and new CEO Ron Johnson‘s parade, Macy’s decided to renew it agreement with the lifestyle guru for another five years. MSLO also released a statement confirming the renewal of the Macy’s contract.

Johnson, Apple‘s former retail chief, had planned to use Marth Stewart Living as a platform to relaunch, revamp and reinvent the struggling chain. Meanwhile, as part of the lawsuit, Macy’s is seeking an injunction to prevent Martha from breaking the contract — but where this leaves JC Penney is anyone’s guess. [WWD]

Apparently, shutting down a Macy’s in between filming holiday commercials, Bieber — off-key even with the (considerable) help from autotune — does some last-minute shopping with his “bros” while Mariah does her favorite dance move — sensually rubbing up against a wall. When it seems like things couldn’t get  much more uninspired, the duo meet up in a sleigh — by this point Mariah’s sewn on a new wig, bang and all — to greet screaming fans.

Mimi and Bibi look like any other drunken aunt and her sexually-confused nephew shopping the malls for the holidays, until Carey, perhaps mistaking the cherubic teeny bopper for her cherubic house husband, starts succumbing to Bieber’s awkward advances. Trust me, after watching this video, all you’ll want for Christmas is a barf bag.

Wal-Mart is opening at 10 pm on Thanksgiving, but before then, the megachain will give shoppers the chance to sign up for a preview of its Black Friday catalogue. Right on its heels is Macy’s, which will open at midnight on Black Friday with hundreds of “doorbuster” sales. Sears decided to stay closed on Thanksgiving this year – “There was a sentiment from customers to keep Thanksgiving as a holiday,” (of all the concepts) according to a division vice president — but will offer scannable billboards around the country to encourage mobile shopping. Ignoring Sears and their observance of Turkey Day, Gap Inc. will open 1,000 stores this Thursday, 800 alone of which are Old Navys.

Despite the extended store hours and doorbustery promotions, the appeal of Black Friday is waning. “The ‘big day’ isn’t the ‘big day’ anymore,” David Bassuk, managing director and head of AlixPartners told WWD. “It’s been diluted with earlier and earlier hours and even Brown Thursdays. There’s still some allure to getting up early and hunting for bargains, but we’re starting to see more and more retailers who are telling the consumer, ‘Stay home and get your sleep. We’ll send you what you need so you can still get the best deal.’”

What’s more disturbing: the fact that retailers are so desperate to make Christmas dough they’ve created a Brown Thursday or the fact that they insist on calling it “Brown Thursdays?” And will you indulge in the shopping frenzy this Friday or will you be too busy fighting your way through a turkey coma? [WWD]

Check out highlights from the interview below.

The Material Girl line has a vintage feel to it — does your style come from a similar place?
Definitely. I think I take my style from all walks of life, and all generations and decades of life as well. I love mixing ’50s with ’80s and classic with punk. And i think that’s what this line embodies. It allows you to rework the same pieces in different ways so people don’t realize that you’ve worn it before. I mean, I wear the same thing all the time — if I’m at home, I’m in sweatpants. I don’t care. But when you go out, you want something that’s versatile.

What excites you the most about being the face of Material Girl?
To have Madonna ask you to be the face of her brand, that’s the coolest thing ever. As a young girl who grew up idolizing her and thinking that she was the be-all and end-all of how women should be, being the face of Material Girl is the greatest honor I’ve ever had.

You’re a member of the Fashion Police, but what’s the worst fashion faux pas that you’ve personally committed?
Sweat stains on clothes! I’ll never be one of these girls who could walk into anything and say, ‘I can do this!’ I always get nervous. I always get scared. I’m even nervous about judging these girls for this contest! You never want to disappoint, you never want to say that wrong thing. I get nervous and then I start sweating. People literally interview me on the red carpet and I’m like dabbing my top lip, trying to be subtle about it. I’m like oh my God, get me out!

So do you get nervous when you do a taping of Fashion Police?
No, because Joan is just so funny! We’re like a family now. It’s mainly a comedy show based on fashion and it’s one of those things where you have to have a sense of humor about yourself.

To read the entire interview, visit Refinery29.

The scent, a combination of multiple notes including gardenia, tuberose, neroli and jasmine, was inspired by the Material Girl’s late mother: “My oldest memory of my mother is her perfume. I carry it with me everywhere. She always smelled like gardenias and tuberose, an intoxicating mixture [that was] feminine and mysterious. I wanted to re-create this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring — hence the name ‘Truth or Dare.’”

Madonna worked with Coty on everything from the scent’s development and marketing to the free gift-with-purchase, after preliminary talks began this past spring. Coty, no doubt excited to collaborate with a legend and not just another teeny-bopper flavor of the year, started working on the fragrance before anything was even signed.

The “Truth or Dare” line will include a $28 body lotion and a $25 shower gel, while the perfume will be available in two sizes in the US — a 50 mL bottle for $55 and a 70 mL bottle for $68 — with a 30 mL bottle being sold internationally.

As for the promotion, Madge is gearing up for a multi-media onslaught to coincide with her new album — also set for release next year — that will see her starring in global TV, print, online and outdoor marketing. Much-in-demand photographic duo Mert and Marcus have already shot the print component. [WWD]

“Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand,” said Madame Ciccone. “The timing is right and I have found great partners in Iconix, who can help translate my vision to reality.”

Iconix CEO Neil Cole seconded that emotion: “After the highly successful launch of the junior brand Material Girl, we knew there would be a tremendous demand for a brand that Madonna herself is the face of and that truly captures her essence.”

Lady Madonna is already developing a scent with noted celebrity perfumer Coty and will eventually roll out footwear, handbags and intimate apparel.

Is anyone else hoping for a mass-produced version of the Gaultier cone bra? [WWD]

A rendering of the new Macy's

The super department store will add another 100,000 square feet of selling space — bringing its grand total to a whopping 1.2 million square feet — as well as a number of luxury shop-in-shops, 300 more fitting rooms and what Macy’s calls the largest shoe department — wait for it — in the WORLD!

But that’s not all. There will be interactive directories, a mobile shopping app, digital product info and streaming live videos of Macy’s events. Hopefully this renovation will also include a personal tour guide since I got lost in there just last week. [WWD, sub req'd]

Members  of the Manhattan elite sipped cocktails, posed for branded Polaroids (you can see mine here) , and got “inked” (you can see Factory PR’s here)  with airbrush tattoos all while previewing the Holiday 2011 American Rag collection.

In case you didn’t know Ragged Mag is  an exclusive magazine published by American Rag clothing. Each issue of RAGGED MAG features full-length articles and photo spreads of today’s hottest artists including Passion Pit, Jessie J,Girl Talk, Dev and The Cataracs.Check out the latest issue here.

The collection will feature 100 pieces, ranging from $95 to $450, debuting via Net-a-Porter and coming to karllagerfeld.com February 28th. Karl pop-up shops are being planned in several major cities, with at least one in Paris, and a select 20 “high-visibility” retailers will also carry the line. The company will expand into menswear for the fall 2012 season.

While the Karl line is meant to appeal to the younger generation, Karl Lagerfeld Paris, a more upscale collection, will be targeted at retailers in Europe, the Middle East, Russia, Asia and “key fashion cities” of North America — sorry L.A. — with prices starting where Karl left off, $411 to $3,425.

These initiatives are meant to turn the Lagerfeld celebrity into a global brand that exists independently of the Chanel and Fendi houses. That, thankfully, does not mean an end to the king of collaborations crown. So you can still get your Macy’s T-shirts, your overpriced glassware and god knows what else the Kaiser plasters his name to, but fair warning, those co-branding opportunities will be fewer and farther between. [WWD, sub req'd]

“My clothes have always been about making women feel elegant and modern, which is why I am so excited about this capsule collection,” Doo-Ri Chung said. “It truly embodies the confidence and creativity of the modern woman.”

If you have questions about the Doo-Ri capsule collection for Macy’s, ask me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.

Though we probably won’t see any leopard print capes adorned with a turban — also known as my laundry day look — there’s enough feline fun to go around as seen in this little ensemble above.

Present too are similar color palettes and silhouettes, but for items ranging from a disturbingly reasonable $50-$150, the world of haute couture couldn’t be further away. However, Valli chose to shoot the ads for his Impulse line, appearing in November issues across the board, in his Paris atelier.

As for the line itself, Giambattista Valli for Impulse Only will be available at 225 Macy’s stores come October 26th.

What’s your favorite thing to do when you’ve got lots and lots of time on your hands?

“[whispers] Oh that’s a nice one. I love to travel, but I really love to hang out with my Grandaughters downstairs. I’m on 10, they’re on 5. It’s not too difficult to find time when I’m done with my coffee. We are on another roll I tell you! I’m doing a lot of appearances. I’m on the road doing promotions or opening new stores. It’s a very busy time now, but I love it. I heard a great quote on the radio the other day; Mark Twain said, ’Make your vacation your vocation.’ Is that interesting? Or make your vocation your vacation. That’s a little harder to to. I felt, Old Marky and I, he must have been overworked. He must have been a workaholic. But I love what I’m doing.”

Your daughter, Lulu, werqed it on the runway last week. Is she pursuing modeling, or is that walk just for you?

“No, no, no, the show inspiration was of a voluptuous figure, which Lulu has always had and stood for. Last time she was on the runway was in 2000 when I did a show with the Playboy Bunnies. She was the best on that runway. She knows how to do [cups her hands a few inches from her breasts, gives a hunch]… She would never dream of modeling, she would have to loose 2/3 of her body weight. I dont know, maybe Victoria’s Secret? All the Victoria’s Secret models come off of my runway, because I let them be sexy, you know, flaunt it. And sure enough it’s easy to get them, then they’re scooped up by Victoria and you can’t get them anymore.”

Case in point: Candice Swanepoel 

What do your new timepieces tell us about you?

“What I love is that they always have stuff for young, my granddaughter sometimes. A skull with a bow in this watch. They go from kitty to grandma. From classic to cute. Twinkly to chic. I dont know, anyway. They’re great, beautifully made. Great weight, which is very important to me in a watch. I had lots of fun doing it, great company. I just really love them. The numbers are big, they have a real weight to them…I mean Frankie has me down. Frank, he owns the company… Frankie what’s your last name?”

We can forgive her unreliable memory so long as she continues to turn out the you-go-girliest pieces in the industry.

Werq, Betsey, werq.

If you’ve got time, and lots of it, take a gander at our favorites:

If you buy a new Betsey Johnson watch, you get moved up to Front of Line VIP, where Betsey will have a special gift for you. A personalized runway cartwheel lesson? That would be ideal, and totally unforgettable. But perhaps it will be something you can tangibly take home with you. More than even a million dollar smile.

Watch out.

We love the idea of just randomly store hopping but in all honesty there leaves a huge place for wack events. Trust us if you go to any of these events below you’re surely going to have a good time. You might event spot an editor or two. (Or three according to this.)

Hope this helped and have a fun FNO!

While at Macy’s, the Chanel and Fendi designer extolled his love for department stores, claiming that he knows “everything” about them, particularly the American variety: “My name was made in America by department stores. I have a certain weakness for department stores.” As do I. Give me a one-stop shop so I can avoid being around people as much as possible, thank you and goodbye.

As for his collection, it’s apparently flying off the shelf– much like the Kaiser’s diffusion line for H&M. According to Terry Lundgren, big boss man of Macy’s, they were “blown away by the sell-throughs with Karl. Even before his p.a. [public appearance], we did more than $1 million in sales.”

What can I say, the kids love a high collar and a printed tee. [WWD]

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]

Tom (featured in the center of the above photo) will serve as brand ambassador and style director. He brings many years of fashion experience to INC while sharing his insights, advice and opinions with the INC customer.

His first assignment was to serve as creative director of the fall ad campaign which we much say looks spectacular. One can tell that Tom knows what the modern gentleman wants to look like. He takes pieces with great flair and a very dandy feel and mixes them with classic pieces to create a beautiful combination.

Tom will also have a more hands on approach with the label. He will star in a series of  “day in the life” videos capturing his life as a stylish gent. Cameras will follow him partaking in activities such as getting a shave at Tommy Guns to cocktails at the Empire Room.

The campaign featuring Tom Stubbs launches later this month and you can catch all of the fun at Macys.com/incmens.

We’re not saying that Uncle Karl looks terrible or anything but instead he looks more like our Great Uncle Karl. People get old, it’s a fact of life.

We still love the guy and in fact tonight we’re getting a preview of his collection for Macy’s tonight! Make sure you stay posted to my twitter: @mcarthurjoseph and the site’s @fashionindie for the inside scoop on that.

You can walk 5″ taller on printed snake for $110 over at macys.com.

“Depending on customer reaction” — my guess, people are gonna freak the fuck out —  the Lagerfeld for Impulse collection will be available for six to eight weeks and will focus on “statement jackets, tweeds, novelty fabrics, and dresses,” according to Macy’s chief merchandising officer Jeff Gennette.

- Off-Off-Opera head! Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O will “assault…the tragic joys of youth” when she bring her “psycho-opera” to St. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO, Brooklyn from Oct. 13-16. [Paper]

- The Kanye West clothing line is a go! After Central Saint Martins prof Louise Wilson confirmed that the Louis Vuitton don was indeed working on a collection, turns out Harper’s Bazaar Australia‘s Christine Centenera and knitwear designer Louise Goldin are lending him their helping hands. [Styleite]

- Mulberry is killing it and not taking prisoners. Valued at over a billion pounds, the British label has left all other fashion roadkill in their wake to become the world’s best-performing fashion house, thanks in large part to Alexa Chung and her eponymous bag. [Telegraph]

- And speaking of roadkill, how do you feel about wearing some run-over possum on your head? [Guardian]

- Rihanna: “I don’t think I could walk down the street wearing bubbles or a dress made of ham, [but] what Lady Gaga has done has been kind of amazing. I am the opposite. I wear clothes I would wear on the street. I’m all about a real look.” The fact that RiRi looks like she’s working the street in said clothes is another matter. [Digital Spy]

- Paris Hilton walked out of an interview only to return after consulting her coach/agent when a reporter asked what we were all thinking: Has your moment passed? Some questions, however, answer themselves. [Digital Spy]

Someday is on track to become the number one selling ladyjuice of 2011. Karen Grant of market research group, NPD, even has the audactiy to liken it to other diva-fronted fragrances, claiming:

“We haven’t seen anything like it since [Jennifer Lopez’s] Glow and [Britney Spears’] Curious.”

Bieber also sacrilegiously broke Macy’s‘ previous celebrity scent sales record set by Beyoncé in February 2010 for Heat by finishing one week ahead at the $3 mil mark.

Ouch, B. Who run the world now? Biebs. [WWD]

1. Dry shampoo. If you don’t have time for a full-on shower, dry shampoo is an amazing, underrated alternative to washing your hair. Ojon Full Detox™ Rub-Out™ Dry Cleansing Spray instantly cleanses and refreshes your hair and scalp without water. The invisible formula is ideal for all hair colors.

2. Leave-in conditioner. If you know you’re going to be out in the sun all day, using a leave-in conditioner is a great way to prevent locks from getting dry and frizzy. Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner is formulated without silicones, so it smoothes hair without weighing it down.

3. Hot oil treatments. If you have a big dinner or event coming up, it’s easy to make hair look radiant overnight. Comb a small amount of hair oil like Rodin Olio Lusso Luxury Hair Oil through your locks and wrap your head in a hot towel. Leave in overnight, and you’ll wake up to healthier-looking, more lustrous hair.

4. Hair sunscreen. As another preventative measure, use a sun protection spray before spending the day outside. Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray SPF 16 is light, refreshing and protects hair and scalp from harmful UVA/UVB rays with no sensation of stickiness or heaviness.

5. Revitalize & refresh. If your hair is curly or frizzes in the heat, use a product formulated specifically for your locks. A hair refresher like Ouidad Botanical Boost® Moisture Infusing & Refreshing Spray provides a blend of proteins and botanical extracts to preserve moisture, prevent frizz and enhance shine anytime throughout the day.

6. Tie it up. If all else fails, you can always wear your hair up to mask any drabness the day has put brought upon it. Check out our 8 Hair-Tie Alternatives to Up Your ‘Do and throw that hair tie out the window. If you’re looking for a cool tool to try one of the styles, we love this Madewell Plaid Prints Scarf.

The involvement of the four designers is part of an effort to bring more “fashion excitment” and younger customers to Macy’s Impulse department, which sells brands like BCBG Max Azria, Free People and Kensie.

Though Macy’s has yet to confirm the news — according to one of their sassy reps, “We have not announced the next designer and do not comment on speculation.” — Vallis’ one-off collection is expected to hit stores in November. [WWD]

Did we miss anything? What is your favorite brunch spot in NYC?

Someday by Justin Bieber, his first fragrance, was born out of the Bieb’s “deep connection” with his fans and his desire to “bring them closer to [his] world.” And being the nauseatingly wholesome gal he is, proceeds from the perfume will go to a Bieber-approved list of charities including Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Everything about Someday is meant to appeal to Bieber’s screeching fanbase of tweens, teens and pedos, from the fruity floral juice to the heart-shaped bottle top and the removable charms about the bottle neck. There’s even a hair mist and a body lotion in addition to the 1 oz, 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz versions of the perfume.

If you’re as excited as I am — preferably more since I couldn’t care less — Someday will be shipping to a store near you in June, such as Macy’s, Sephora, Dillard’s and Nordstrom. Meanwhile, Bieber BFF Terry Richardson shot Dree Hemingway for the print ad…once again appealing to the tweens, teens and pedos that make up the pop tart’s bread and butter. [WWD]

- Self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel Janice Dickinson lost her false teeth in a restaurant, resulting in a mad search by its patrons. Then after grandma found ‘em, she hiked up her mini skirt and hopped on the youngest man out the door. [Page Six]

- Beyoncé‘s video for “Run the World (Girls)” premiered on American Idol last night and it’s basically a dance version of Mad Max, i.e. awesome. [Vevo]

- Macy’s in Brooklyn is getting a mural in an attempt to hide the fact that it’s in Brooklyn. [Racked]

- Kate Moss and Terry Richardson go on a Great Escape for Mango in Terry face masks. Kudos to Kate for getting in an unmarked van with Terry. [Vimeo]

- Turns out the mom who gave her 8-year-old daughter Botox was just lying about the whole thing. Her name, the Botox, even her daughter being a beauty queen. The beauty queen part hurts the most. [The Cut]

What you wear on your right ring finger today you might want on your left pointer tomorrow, and of course you should get what you want. Adjustable rings are okay, but turn your hand over and your secret is out. Instead, try stretchy rings. Now available in far more than the irridescent beaded variety of head shops and your childhood, these elastic infused accessories are bonafide cocktail rings.

1. Betsey Johnson had a field day at the zoo and went stretch ring crazy. Crystalized animals, hearts and evil eyes can each jump from finger to finger along your hand. Heart, Octopus and Giraffe @ Zappos, Monkey and Evil Eyes @ Piperlime, Aligator @ Macy’s.

2. This elastically bound long linking rustic ring from Topshop is not only versatile, but more comfortable than a solid piece of metal of that length.

3. Double the fingers equals double the need for some stretch in the band. Try this Cara Accessories number from Nordstrom.

4. We fell in love with bow ties this year. Now wear one from pacsun on any finger you pretty please.

5. Spikes and chains are typically unforgiving, but the ring that these attach to is. Max&Chloe rock the danger dangle.

6. Hit up Old Navy (didn’t think I’d be saying that..) for a bright pinwheel stretch.

7. Beaded and black, and available in ivory as well, this Marlyn Schiff ring is a class act.

8. The bubbled thumbprint has a antiquarian effect, which it should as it’s made from antique gold by Amrita Singh.

9. From across the pond on Miss Selfridge, get a sea shell from their shores.

Now really stretch! It’s good for you.

Mother Earth has been great to us so the least we can do is show her some appreciation by doing our best to preserve her while we dress for the warm weather.

Since the tee is a staple in every guy’s wardrobe it is best to start there. Many companies are making their shorts eco friendly my incorporating organic cotton. Quiksilver for instance has a great graphic tee made of 100% organic cotton.

Shirts aren’t the only thing made from organic cotton. Another staple is denim so that’s next. Nudie Jeans offers a pair that 13 oz denim from Italy made in 100% organic cotton.

If you’re looking to take a dip and still help the environment we’ve got your back. Patagonia Men’s Minimalist Wavefarer Board Shorts are recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program

While it would be in the environments best favor for you to go barefoot it isn’t very practical. Vans makes a shoe that provides eco-conscious construction components like a waste-free, lightweight outsole, 100% recycled PET plastic bottle canvas uppers and inside lining, water-based inks and glues, and a supportive molded midsole cushioning system.

Mother Nature can be a little harsh with her sun rays but you can block them the right way.  Sunglass Hut boasts it own eco friendly sunglass line. The Revo Eco collection uses alternative material whenever possible & the packaging is always 100& recyclable and printed with vegetable oil based ink.

The last piece to this outfit is the watch. If you love the earth then you’ll love this because it’s materials include black corn and black bamboo.

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)

Go for a full skirt, girlfriend: There is nothing more glamorous than a full skirt and, lucky for you, it looks best on pear-shaped divas. Make sure the top you choose or bodice of the dress is fitted to show off your small waist. Above: Alice + Olivia Full-Skirted Floral-Print Silk Dress $550, net-a-porter.com

Get low: High-waisted pants are all-the-rage, yes, but they will only give you “mom butt” if you carry the bulk of your weight in the thighs and backside. A low rise, straight leg jean that is NOT skin tight is going to be your best friend. This style will smooth-out any bulges you may have, especially if you go for a heavier denim. Above: DRKSHDW by Rick Owens Zip-Detailed Low-Rise Skinny Jeans $615, net-a-porter.com

Shop for your shape: There are tons of retailers out there that have tailored their pants to fit women of specific body types. From classic, modern and curvy to short, regular and tall, it’s easy to find a pair perfect for you. Rafaella has taken this customization to a whole new level with Perfectly Slimming technology inside their trousers. It’s like shapewear without needing to layer! Above: Rafaella Curvy Fit Boot Cut Pants $39.99, macys.com

Fight cellulite for a firmer appearance: Besides not drinking liquids with meals, only eating raw veggies and massaging with coffee grounds three times a day, how can you fight cellulite? It might seem too good to be true, but Turbocell leggings have been proven to reduce dimples by 19.05 percent and kick 2 inches off the thighs. Patented three-layer technology delivers continuous massage and promotes circulation. Above: Turbocell Leggings $149, blissworld.com

Slips are both sexy and slimming: Women would never leave the house without a slip way back in the day. But as bras were being burned, slips were following them into the fire. Nonetheless, this sexy smoothing undergarment has been making a huge comeback. A high-quality product will slim your waist, hips and booty all at the same time. Above: Nearly Nude Slimming Slip $89.95, nearlynude.com.au

Shaping underwear gives you a leg up: You can shape your butt without anyone knowing, thanks to the newly adorable and incognito shapers on the market. Rather than flatten, this underwear will lift, smooth, support and shape. Above: Cosabella Never Say Never Sexy Control Shaper Bikini $70, shop.cosabella.com

What are your secrets to smoothing and shaping your butt and thighs?

- No. Plastic. Hangers. EVER! Macy’s is trying to reduce the size of its stilettoed carbon footprint with a number of sustainability initiatives such as replacing clear, petroleum-based clear plastic hangers with black, matte hangers made from recycled materials. [WWD]

- The Twitterverse Is Abuzz! After self-described “Young Business Woman. Relentless Opportunist, Restless Optimist” Amber Atherton tweeted this pic of a label apparently bearing Carine Roitfeld‘s name, rumor has it the former Vogue Paris editor will toss her chapeau into the design realm. Though the skeptic in me thinks that label could easily say “Carrie Poitfeld”…especially since the garment seems to have been “Made in Korea.”[Fashionista]

The Sunday Mass Look:

Many of you are going to Sunday mass this Sunday because of your religious beliefs or in my case an overbearing yet loving mother who doesn’t want to see her oldest boy go to hell. (But I digress) When it comes to displaying personal style in religious situations one must put their ego aside to be respectful.  You can go or this seasons bright colors but don’t overdo it because the service is not about you no matter how bad you want it to be.

A blazer is a must and a houndstooth blazer like this one from Tallia Orange works with a variety of outfits.  This Ben Sherman shirt is a great mix of simple and detailed to stand alone or under a jacket. A tie is a must when it comes to dressing up and this Brooks Brother necktie is a great pop of color on top.

When the top of your outfit is pretty tame it is best to shock people by having a super interesting bottom. That’s what I strongly recommend a color trouser like these from Jil Sander. If you’re pants are going to be really loud then allow your shoes to tone them down. A simple pair of dressy lace ups will do the trick and Topman has you covered. The cherry on top of this outfit should be your watch. I recommend choosing one with a very classic face but going for a bright colored band like this GUESS timepiece.

1. Organic Surge Citrus Mint Shower Gel: Natural moisturizers and stimulating organic essential oils come together in this refreshing and invigorating shower gel. I can’t get enough of its wake-me-up properties first thing in the morning. Plus, every Organic Surge product you buy contributes to their efforts to support Africa’s most vulnerable children. Available online.

2. Origins Incredible Spreadable™ Smoothing Ginger Body Scrub: Natural sugars gently buff away rough, dry skin before transforming into a creamy, cleansing lather, leaving your skin refreshed and smooth. Origins products are manufactured using a combination of renewable resources, wind energy and earth-friendly practices. Available at Origins stores, Macy’s and online.

3. Aura Cacia Patchouli/Sweet Orange Body Cream: This deliciously nourishing body cream contains 100% pure essential oils to deliver the finest aromatherapy to your body. Patchouli soothes while orange uplifts in this fragrant moisturizer. Aura Cacia’s own ethical and sustainable sourcing program, Well Earth™, allows them to guarantee the purity of their essential oils. Available online.

4. Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream: This protective hand cream, rich in the living energy of lavender, calendula and viola, deeply moisturizes and restores smoothness to working hands. With respect for life and nature, Jurlique uses biodynamic farming methods to sustain and enrich the soil with each harvest cycle to optimize the living energy in their plants and products and on your skin. Available at Jurlique stores and online.

Available at Duane Reade and online.

Macy’s chose 8 lucky contestants out of 19,000 applicants to be made over by Clinton now the responsibility is solely in your hands. Each contestant has a video on Macy’s Facebook page and you can vote for your favorite to send them onto the next round. The ultimate winner receives the Million Dollar Makeover, though you can get a $500 gift card just for voting. And you can use that $500 to buy these three trends for summer — see what I did there?

Floral Prints – Clinton notes that florals are bold and graphic this season but they’re not just for day — a print grounded in black is great for the evening.

White – For a clean white look, gals should avoid too many bright colors and instead opt for neutrals with just a “pop of bright,” such as a shoe or handbag.

The Utility Pant – The usually tough, military-inspired pant can be softened with the addition of a little sparkle. Clinton threw a sequined top and a leather jacket over a pair of cargos for an evening look.

Check out the video below and see how the models appear through the magic of fashion wearing each of the season’s trends.

Who is the R&Em girl?
R&Em stands for Remy and Emmy who are two personalities representing two different sides of the everyday girl. Remy is a world traveler – she is chic with an uptown vibe. Emmy is the all-American girl next door who is laid-back and just loves to have a good time. The line is budget-friendly, so it resonates with people like me who live in the city and have very tight budgets but still like to be chic and keep up with the trends.

How does it feel to be the face of this great new accessories line?
It’s crazy! It is so flattering to be the face of R&Em, but there is a part of me that says ‘It’s weird – I’m not a model, I’m not a celebrity.’ But that’s what this line is about, regular girls who love great style. So that’s what I am, the girl next door from Brooklyn.

I love your outfit, what are you wearing today?
I am wearing a vintage skirt, Jessica Simpson platforms, Hue tights, Postlapsaria lace jacket (Keiko’s own label), Coach leather jacket and an R&Em Woodstock bag, my favorite of the collection.

What makes the Woodstock bag your favorite of the collection?
All of the bags are named after musical influences. This is a classic satchel but with the updated zipper and studs. The colorway is really unexpected, a blush tone with chocolate edges. I love that you can sling it across you body or use the little handles and throw it on your arm. It’s very versatile and definitely my favorite.

Mac and I got our photo taken with the tall and graceful Keiko. Wish we would have worn our big girl shoes!

You can snag one of these fabulous bags at Macy’s ASAP. Also, check out Keiko’s blog if you haven’t already.

I truly think both girls were amazing choices for the brand but this season Kelly adds a certain freshness with her cool. I know I can’t wait to see more images from the campaign coming soon. Speaking of coming soon I can predict that these garments are going to sell out at the department store once they hit the shelves.

The label’s blog announced on January 11th that they were “desperately seeking” a new Material Girl and yesterday they confirmed that Kelly was indeed  their Lucky Star:

“We are so thrilled to announce Kelly Osbourne is the the new face of Material Girl for 2011! We’ve had a long time crush on Kelly and featured her as one of our ‘cool peeps’ over the summer.”

Not only is Kelly someone young girls can and should look up to as a style icon, but she’s not likely to flash her boobs in a half-hearted attempt at so-called rock rebellion.

At least not these days. She’s a lady now.

Macy’s remained open and was not evacuated. Wow, thanks a lot! Love shopping for bloomers and coming out to kevlar-clad men.

The Macy’s scare was one of three false alarms yesterday.

Shiza! If any terrorist blows himself up and kills me, he’s a dead man.

*Disclaimer: Terrorism is not cool.

[Link Love: WWD]

So, King Karl has announced a partnership with Macy’s to create a new, high-end line at affordable pricing.

Move over Lanvin. Lagerfeld for Macy’s is gonna kick some serious style tush.

(Who wouldn’t be scared of the German machine behind those glasses?! I’ve heard he eats sewing machines for breakfast.)

Lagerfeld’s new line will offer everything from jeans to gowns and debuts Fall 2011. Stay tuned.
