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.

Ladies in black abundant… Malaika, Raveena, Suzaane, Amrita, Namrata Baruah. Though Malaika & Gayatri looked stunning of them all.

Madhoo in blue made us feel blue. How can someone ever think of putting a look like this together

Ramona chose this white dress, which I would never pick but she carried it off well. Would have preferred it sans the pink clutch.

So we all know that diamonds are a girl's best friend—but pearls sure come in close second. Maybe that is why lovely lady Jackie O never left the White House without her pearls, which are about to be auctioned at Bonhams’ “Pioneers of Popular Culture” sale on August 15, predicted to go for a cool $47,000. The three-strand pearl necklace with an emerald and diamond clasp was worn by the iconic first lady in the early ’60s as a symbol of her American royalty. Yet, insider sources said that Mrs. Kennedy’s neck candy actually may not the real thing! Surprisingly, the pearls are only worth about a few hundred bucks, and it’s been rumored that the First Lady chose to wear cheapie pearls since she was prone to misplacing them. It’s Jackie O’s legacy that seems to have seriously increased the price. So if you care for a little bit of historical glamor, now’s the time to empty those savings.

Blondes might have more fun, but gray hair is slowly taking over – and it’s not just for grandma anymore. Lady Gaga sported a gray mane on the cover of September’s Vanity Fair. Meanwhile, model Kristen McMenamy has come back into the industry with her full head of silver locks (as seen on the cover of the August Italian Vogue). Even Kate Moss showed off a few strands of gray when the trend reared its silver head 6 months ago. We thought the look was going to fade away, but it seems to have unlikely staying power. What do you think?

If you’re bold enough, try the trend for yourself:

For an instant (and temporary) fix, disguise your hair under this Silver Wig ($8.50) from PrettyPartyPlace. And if the trend dies, you’re ready for Halloween.

Lighten your locks with Clairol’s Balsam Color in Ash Blonde ($2.54). A blonder version of the trend is perfect in case you’re skeptical about the look.

Go ultra light with Garnier Nutrisse’s Nourishing Color Creme in White Chocolate ($7.49). This color is definitely Gaga-approved.

The wedge heel we loved from summer translates into fall with these beautiful Steven by Steve Madden boots ($179.90, from $269.95). Platform heels are bigger than ever, and more comfortable too, like these Stuart Weitzman pumps ($199, from $375).

Mark my words, clogs are going to be the shoes for fall. Snap  up these neutral Born Crown Marian clogs ($84.90, from $129.95) now–they probably won’t go on sale again until after the holidays. The buttery soft  leather on these Vince Camuto booties ($79.90, from $119.95) make them instant winners–plus you can wear them immediately.

PBS will air Paul McCartney: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song In Performance at the White House” tonight on your local PBS station.

FAB Ritika got lucky and snagged an exclusive interview, a studio tour and a top secret peek at the ‘First Sketch’ of the dress.

Byron at work in his studio

MsFABulous: What were some of your inspirations as you were designing the Fall 2010 collection?


Byron Lars: My inspiration for the Fall Collection was primarily color and texture based. Any fabrication that had either color which I couldn’t get off my mind or that had a texture which compelled me touch it was included in this collection.
The themes involve vintage hybridization. For instance, a bulky cotton tweed boxy jacket that your grandma might have worn gets crossbred with a zip-front hoody, resulting in something that both a skate punk and your grandma could rock.

MsF: How do you develop your collections? Do you have a specific muse in mind as you design?
BL: Each collection is developed from many points of reference at once. Construction alone may inform some of the pieces while the attitude of a particular customer might inform others.
The one thing that I always try to keep in mind while developing new collections is to make sure that I’m providing clothes that help my customer look better. This is why so much attention is paid to proportion and detailing.

MsF: Do you think a great designer piece is a luxury or a necessity?
BL: I’m not so lost in fashion as to think that any designer piece is an absolute necessity. I am fairly certain however, that anyone who has once experienced wearing a designer piece that really fits properly and is made out of superior fabric might see things differently.

MsF: For design aficionados who can’t always afford designer pieces, what is your suggestion to update their Fall 2010 look. Is there one piece you feel is a must have?
BL: I would have to say that the one must-have fall update item is a great fishermen cable sweater. Paired with a super dressy bottom that you already own (for instance that seldom worn beaded or sequined skirt that you got for your cousin’s wedding), this staple becomes fashion that be worn for day or evening.

MsF: What sacrifices did you have to make to have this career? Would you have changed anything looking back?
BL: I haven’t really had to make any sacrifices for this career that wouldn’t had to have been made for any other career. Of course in fashion, as in any career that you are passionate about, there are many long hours and working weekends however, I would love it if I didn’t have to be away from home as much as I am.

MsF: Michelle Obama wore your dress to a recent white house concert. What would be the perfect dress you would suggest for her from your fall collection? Or are you working on a super secret design project for the white house that you can’t talk about…..yet?
BL: There are no super secret design projects for the First Lady…at least not for me anyway.
It was of course a great honor for me to see that Mrs. O chose to ware one of my dresses.
I always have so many dresses in each collection that I think Michelle Obama could rock splendidly that it’s hard for me to narrow it down to just one.
If, however, I had to choose just one dress for her from the Fall collection it would be this simple scoop neck black sheath that has a lace tank under pinning. it’s classic, has a touch of the unexpected and is super chic…just like Mrs. O.

MsF: Can we get a sneak peek at what you’re working on next?
BL: There won’t really be anything to sneak a peek at until I make my next sample development trip to China, which is coming up in the next couple of weeks.

MsF: The last question comes from one of our readers. She wanted to ask if you plan on working with Vogue patterns or designing another Barbie in the future?
BL: At present, I don’t have any future plans to work with vogue patterns but, anything is possible down the road.
My relationship with Barbie and Mattel is ongoing so, there will be more dolls…a new one every year in fact.
The most recent series is designed around the idea of a sister from Harlem traveling the globe and putting her fashion spin on the culture that she has experienced abroad.
Working with Barbie is probably one of the funnest parts of my job! This is one item that you can always afford at every price point.

Byron Lars at work

The “First Dress” for Mrs.Michelle Obama

If you have never worn a Byron Lars dress before, you are missing out. One can rarely find an outfit that combines unique construction, quality and artful design in the same piece.

To find a dress similar to Mrs. Obama’s, shop on-line at Carina New York. The dress comes in Dove and Blue and retails for $316. Tip: Shop now as anything Mrs. O. wears usually sells out within hours.
Isn’t it nice to know that First Lady style is democratically accessible?

At an outdoor event in the Hamptons this weekend Calvin Klein – donning dark slacks on the hot evening – proclaimed his strong dislike for the nighttime shorts look that stars like Gwyneth Paltrow have made so big this summer. “I think it’s inappropriate,” Klein said. “We’re all sweating. That’s what happens; you have to sweat sometimes.”

We couldn’t disagree more. The shorts look is hot and there are many ways to show off those tanned, tones legs and still be classy enough for dress-up or nighttime events. The proof is in the pudding:

Black silk tie-shorts like these BCBGMAXAZRIA Micro Sateen Shorts ($118) are as dressy as a skirt. Pair them with a crisp white tee and extra long gold chain for a cool going-out look.

These majorly discounted Elizabeth and James Flared shorts ($73.50, down from $245) are super-flattering and still available in all sizes.

You will want to live in these incredibly soft and comfortable Oonagh by Nanette Lepore Cotton Pleated shorts ($38.99, down from $98). Dress them up for a night out with a bright ruffled top and high peep toe pumps.

Irvine, CA – For hair that has become delicate from coloring, perming, and heat styling, White Sands presents the re-launch of its revolutionary treatment Porosity The Fix. Featuring a brand new packaging design and enhanced formulation, this leave in protects tresses from future damage caused by hot tools and environmental elements by correcting the appearance of extreme dryness and damaged texture patterns.

Fashioned as “makeup for hair”, this product acts as a coveted concealer, filling in the blemishes found in each strand. This revitalizing feature instantly creates illuminating, flawless strands. The Fix will transform damaged, dry locks, revealing youthful, shiny hair.

Based after the hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture, unnaturally high and low levels of porosity are the main causes of fragile and brittle locks. The Fix instantly reverses this unbalanced state, creating healthy, flawless hair through its restorative properties and unique ingredients including gentle silicones and natural oils. The formula’s light weight silicone membrane instantly “locks in” this moisture, while providing a revolutionary “Timed” Drying Process: the ratio of Cyclomethicones adjusts for drying time to provide maximum shine.

Added Bonus: Pair The Fix with heat from blow drying or ironing to leave hair softer and shinier without weighing the style down.

Suggested Retail Price: 4.0 oz, $19.00 purchase here

I had a hard time deciphering Tom Ford's White Musk Collection when it first came out last year. I enjoy the entire Tom Ford Private Blend line and love many of the perfumes, but Ford's habit of mass releases is making the sniffing and choosing too overwhelming. Every time I played with the testers at Saks or Bergdorf I ended up forgetting which was which. Add to that the general softness of these scents that gets lost in the department store's air, the fact they all require several sprays to show their true selves and develop right and you get a very confused blogger. It was only when I got larger decants of the four White Musks and started giving them my full attention that things started falling into place for me.

I have no idea what Urban Musk means. Did Tom Ford mean the funk of the NYC subway? The smell in the East Village the night before garbage day? The unwashed hair of some the hipsters in Williamsburg? Where does an urban musk even come from? I mean, after the Mystery Of Musk project I’ve definitely broadened my musky horizons and learned to identify the feeling of musk, but I can’t describe any of it as “urban”. Still, there’s something about Ford’s Urban Musk that’s a bit angular, less fuzzy, maybe.

I might be anosmic to some of the musk molecules used in this fragrance. I smell it, but at times the core drifts away from me and then comes back. I feel like I’m missing a piece of the composition, even though I greatly enjoy everything that’s around it. I like the floral opening. It’s a somewhat abstract jasmine, maybe a bit too synthetic but the whole man-made industrialized feel might also be part of the urban concept. Most of the perfume as I perceive it is about honeyed sweet musk. Any strongly barnyard/animalic aspect is lost on me here. Then again, part of the reason I adore musky perfumes is because they tend to smell cuddly and soft on me, as my skin neutralizes any beastly aromas. The same goes for honey. Miel de Bois is nothing but loveliness for me (note to self and to scent twin- let’s try layering MdB and MKK and see what happens), while some people describe it in litter box terms.

While Urban Musk never veers far from skin level, its longevity is very satisfying. I get whiffs of its vanilla and leather dry-down 12 hours and more after application.

Is it a must-have for musk afictionados? I can’t say. Sample first to make sure you actually smell all of it and enjoy the entire journey, even if it was sort of meh at the store. Give Urban Musk some air and time before dismissing it. I’m glad I did, even if I definitely don’t need a full bottle of this one.

Tom Ford Private Blend, including the White Musk Collection, is available at Tom Ford boutiques worldwide and top department stores. $180 for 1.7oz.

Betty White is proving that anyone can be a Calendar pinup girl at any age. The 88-year-old “Golden Girl” actress is starring in her own 2011 calendar but it’s for a good cause, Honey Bees. According to Stylelist.com, the 2011 calendar benefits the Morris Animal Foundation, “which supports research on animal health and welfare,” with all the proceed from the sale going to the charity. While some photos show Betty posing with animals, she also took the time to pose with scantly-clad hunks as they cater to her by the pool. The $12.99 calendar will be out in September.

I have had this vintage leather bag for a while and just recently discovered it could be attached to a belt. It gave new life to my white long vintage dress that I haven’t worn before because it’s very transparent. Finally I found a thin skirt and a simple bra to wear underneath. I have quite a few dresses with this problem, they are too transparent and regardless what any guy would say, I will not wear it without a skirt underneath and show my knickers to the world. Too few brands think of this, if they make something that is transparent, why not produce slips and underskirts that will work with the cut of the dress? Now that it’s quite warm I can bear the thought of wearing my thick jersey skirts and dresses from American Apparel underneath. Any ideas?

Of this group, the Louis Vuitton cuff would be my choice. I love the design as well as the white and gold mix. It’s a perfect “all around” piece, which can be worn with everything from a tank to a little black dress.

Going from model to musician: “I was terrified! But he [husband Jack White] put me on the line and said, ‘If you want to do this, you have to be willing to take the risk that people won’t like it.’”

On age: “It’s taken me to my 30s to feel relaxed and comfortable in my skin. I think I’m going to be dancing on tables when I’m 50. I really hope I am.”

On fashion: “I just love vintage. I have far too many vintage dresses.”

On family: “Jack is doing his thing, and I’m doing my thing. We ask each other’s opinions, but there has to be a line that separates what I do from what he does and our family from all of that as well.”

On being a ‘freak’: “Ultimately I’ve learned to pride myself on being quirky. I very much adore people who are outcasts, and I’ve always loved to be around interesting, circus-type people.”

This redhaired beauty is proving that she is far more than just a face. I like the idea of exploring all aspects of oneself. Who says that any of us has to be defined by just one thing. Life after all, is about discovering all the many facets that makes us uniquely individual. Oh, and the clothes are fabulous too!

T.I. hit up the red carpet of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards last night…

…and I must say this one is for the books. I’m not usually a fan of anything orange, but he knocks this look out of the park! I especially love how his pocket piece doesn’t match the shirt entirely. Aviators and spectator shoes complete his dapper look.

Alexandra Burke made an appearance at the Capital Radio Summertime Ball…
Rocking a black A-line, asymmetric frock and black sandals, something could’ve been used to make the outfit pop. Hmm…perhaps a colored shoe?

LaLa was spotted sipping a frappe at the Kari Feinstein MTV Movie Awards style lounge…

While I’m starry-eyed over her Givenchy booties and hot pink tote, I’m a little confused. I thought she was Kim K before I enlarged the pic. Hmm…

Veronica Webb appeared at The Perfect Cup by Skinny Cow event looking radiant…

This floral grayscale dress fits her body perfectly, and I especially love the visible zipper on the side. Black peep-toe pumps complete this hot look!

Eva Mendes made her way to the 9th Annual Butterfly Ball…

And she looks absolutely stunning in this white halter Grecian gown with gold detailing at the trim. It’s the perfect dress for any high class event this season. Hot! She completes her look with gold accessories.

Omarion also hit up the MTV Movie Awards going tieless in a tailored gray suit and white button down…

His look could’ve gotten an A+ from me if those cuts in his eyebrows were non-existent. Some trends should just stay buried in the 90s time-capsule.

And last but not least, Sean “Diddy” Combs…

Who just let me down. I love his jacket, but not with those jeans. The shades of both are too close, and that’s a denim jacket no-no. And the black tee, though casual, kind of makes him a little less approachable. Plus it’s summer. We want some color, Diddy!

That’s my 5 cents on the goings-on of the weekend.

What say you?

As aforementioned, I’m not much of a white gal myself, but I rocked out a cream silk Helmut Lang tank dress (totally snagged at Loehmann’s for $50!) last night and totally turned some heads. Granted, I’m still easing into the trend myself, so I still kept it “Kirby” by accessorizing in an array of browns. The white trend is definitely a tricky one to dive head first into, so balance with some safe colors before going after the cream pantsuit or the white trench coat. Oh, and don’t forget that nude panties are a must!
