: Stella McCartney releases her mother's photobook :

"Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs"

they are all from the eyes of Linda Eastman, Stella McCartney's mom

In 1966, when she was a receptionist for Town and Country magazine, Linda Eastman snagged a press pass to a very exclusive promotional event for the Rolling Stones aboard a yacht on the Hudson River; her fresh, candid photographs of the band were far superior to the formal shots made by the band's official photographer, and she had instantly made a name for herself as a top rock 'n' roll photographer. In May 1968, with her portrait of Eric Clapton, she entered the record books as the first female photographer to have her work featured on the cover of Rolling Stone.

in 1967, she went to London to document the 'Swinging Sixties', where she met Paul McCartney at the Bag 'O Nails club and photographed The Beatles during a launch event for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Paul and Linda fell in love, and were married on March 12, 1969. For the next three decades, until her untimely death, she devoted herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal rights, and photography - which deeply influenced Stella in her design career.

this retrospective volume—selected from her archive of over 200,000 images—is produced in close collaboration with Paul McCartney and their children. it is always a great thing to publish the normal life of an 'ordinary' family - showing the cute little things that you won't see often from glam people...

available in Stella McCartney shop in Landmark

: Chanel - Boy Bag :

Chanel has launched a new range of bags drawing inspiration from the androgynous style of fashion -  the Boy Bag line. it is inspired from what Coco Chanel used to wear - she got it from Boy Capel, her lover.

according to Karl Lagerfeld, the collection reflects the very spirit of fashion house, especially since Coco Chanel had a very boyish attitude. the collection includes purses, sling bags and handbags with linked chains for handles.

they will be available in stores from september this year. the bags made in calfskin are available in red, grey and ivory

: Lanvin kids wear :

brand name kidswear is not a new thing but coming to all ladies' favorite Lanvin, it's totally different. the first kidswear collection will be out in November, showcasing the Spring Summer 2012 collection.

everyone knows how pricy the brand is... it will be the same for it's kidswear - Lanvin has decided to use fabrics that are 10 times more expensive than the average used for kidswear. designed for girls aged between 4 to 10, the first collection will consist of 25 pieces - dresses, T-shirts, coats, sweaters, and some adorable accessories. it will be sold in 80 Lanvin stores around the world but prices have not yet been confirmed... so all hot mamas, keep an eye out!

: Elie Saab Le Parfum :

Lebanese designer Elie Saab will launch his debut perfume - Le Parfum - in July. the new fragrance has been developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian -  inspired by Elie Saab's creations for the red carpet. the pretty ad campaign featuring model Anja Rubik in the nude dress is simply WOW!

for me, the design of the bottle comes first, smell comes second. this one is simply lovely with flowers at its neck... looking good in impression already... having flowery and woody notes of orange, blossom, jasmine, cedar, patchouli and rose honey, i can't wait to have a sniff =)
