    The torrent of spring campaigns continued this week with images from St. John, a video from Bally and both from Salvatore Ferragamo. Kate Winslet’s back for her second season with St. John. Craig McDean shot the actress in what looks like an apartment full of objects usually found on a movie set.  This probably means she’ll wear St. John at the Golden Globes this weekend (she’s nominated for Carnage) but we hope she goes for something a bit more interesting. Bally, meanwhile, has released the behind the scenes video of their spring ads and it’s full of hot models—Julia Stegner, Miranda Kerr—but more importantly, puppies! And baby lambs! The lambs get up to all sorts of mischief in the video that you should watch after the jump. And lastly, Ferragamo’s released a behind the scenes look at their tropical Mikael Jansson shot images starring Gisele and Noah Mills in Jamaica. Mills sounds pretty thrilled (or as thrilled as a model can sound) to be working with Gisele for the first time.

    Giles Deacon‘s brought his pre-fall collection to New York for the first time.  Though the collections’ full of ladylike dresses and rich peplum coats, he walked straight to his bright silk pajama-like pieces what I asked him to pick a favorite.  “I did all of them on my iPad,” he said of the prints.  “There’s an application called drawing pad and I just do it with my finger.  It sounds really retarded, but it’s super, super good fun.  They were iPad size and then I emailed them to Jenna who works with me on all my prints and she put them in a very nice 50s-esque repeat for me.  They work super well and we blew them up on t-shirts and did some really sweet little jewelry pieces.  They retail for like $120!  They’re good little go-with-everythings,” he said, holding one up to his neck.  “Well, not so good on me, but on the right girl!”

    Actress Lucy Hale wowed us on the red carpet at last night’s People’s Choice Awards in a super-sculpted, sequined mini with a luxurious side train. The 22-year old actress, who took home a a PCA for Favorite Cable TV Drama along with her fellow Pretty Little Liars castmates looked both sweet and sophisticated in her sweeping Cengiz Abazoglu dress, winning her our Prom Look of the Day as well. How to Look Good With a Side Train: Mini & Mighty What makes this trend fresh is the mixing of a short and sweet dress with a long and elegant train. Shop for a simple, sheath silhouette. This lets the long train work as a statement on its own. Opposites Attract Look for a dress that has eye-catching embellishments. The contrast between the gentle, sweeping train and a jewel or sequin encrusted bodice, gives this look its signature pop. Feet First Make sure that your train doesn’t puddle around your feet and that you can walk, dance, and even jump up and down comfortably. If the train seems a little too long and drapes around your legs, consider pinning it to the side so you can rock the dramatic look without the dramatic sound of your dress ripping. OK, think your brave enough to rock the look on
    the big night? Check out our picks below!

    We can now announce that Balenciaga has just recently signed none other than star Kristen Stewart to be the face of the newest Balenciaga fragrance for women this year! Kristen has already explained her love to the famous and exclusive brand: “Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga." she revealed to Women's Wear Daily. She also said: "It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”We are really looking forward for the result and hopefully we will see some glimpse of the campaign pictures soon! We really think it's good for a company team up with such a popular superstar as Kristen! (cocoperez)

    Of course Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is going to be one famous baby, but this is a new record we talking about! Baby Blue is already making history by officially becoming the youngest person to ever reach the Billboard music charts, at less than a week old! Baby Blue is credited as a collaborator for Jay-Z's newly recorded song, "Glory," which the rapper wrote about his daughter soon after her birth. Can you imagine, not even one week old and she's already breaking Billboard records? Wow this little girl is going to run the world one day! (celebritygossip)

    Sure we haven't always loved Madonna's style, she's often a bit too much out there or dresses too young. But this time, we actually like what she's wearing. The black gothic garments look cool, and the red accessories make it really interesting. Looks like someone's learning!

    We knew that little Blue Ivy would be a diva, especially with Beyonce and Jay-Z as parents but we didn't know that it would already be so extreme, after all she's only a few days old! We found out that Beyonce and Jay-Z have lavished their daughter with gifts totaling around $1.5 million! From a gold rocking horse ($600,000), a custom-made crib ($20,000), and a high chair covered in Swarvrovski crystals ($15,000) Blue Ivy is set for life! Do we think this is a bit ridiculous? Yes! But is it also totally fab? YES! (nypost)

    Attention all music-loving boys and girls: the Coachella 2012 lineup is finally here! This year, the music festival is expanding to two consecutive weekends, topping off a series of three spring music festivals that are sure to rock your season—South by Southwest (SXSW) and Ultra being the other two main players. But what’s arguably more important than what bands are hitting the stage is what to wear to each festival, which year by year attracts the most fashionable attendees and Hollywood celebs—Lea Michele, Ashley Greene, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kate Bosworth all hit Coachella last year dressed in their trendiest get-ups. To make sure you’re looking your best as you dance you heart out, here’s a guide to what to wear to this spring’s most talked about fests: MORE: Check out our must-know tips for surviving outdoor concerts! SXSW When: March 13-18 Where: Austin, TX SXSW is probably the most laid-back of the three, with most bands playing in small venues and bars around Austin. Since you’re in Texas, you’ve got to think southern with your wardrobe: we’re talking cowboy-style leather boots, cutoff denim shorts, breezy linen blouses, and a checkered flannel to drape over your shoulder (SXSW takes place in late March, so it should get a little chilly at night—even in Texas). Try these items for a perfectly southern look:

    Ultra Music Festival
    When: March 23-25 Where: Bayfront Park, Downtown Miami You can tell by Ultra’s headliners (Tiesto, Justice, Aviici, and David Guetta) that this weekend is going to be one big party blasting house music all night long, so you might as well dress the part. You’ll be in Miami, and if that isn’t hot enough, the pounds of sweat pouring down your body as you dance will make you want to be glad that you dressed for the warm weather. Throw on your brightest neons and fluorescents and strap on a pair of colorful high top Dunks or Chuck Taylors to protect your feet—trust us, you don’t want some dude stomping all over your newly polished beach pedicure! Add some bold stunner shades to make a statement (oh, and to keep that Florida sun out of your eyes!) Give these ultra-cool items a try:

    Coachella 
    When: Weekend 1: April 13-15, Weekend 2: April 20-22 Where: Indio, California Definitely the most fashion-forward festival, Coachella is replete with fashionistas and fashionistos decked out in the season’s most trendy garb. With street style photographers abound, you’ll want to make sure you’re looking chic enough for the scene. The most important thing to remember is to wear lightweight material, because the temperature can really soar in the middle of the desert. A flirty printed dress is the perfect piece to wear, and you can accessorize it with fun tribal add-ons like big earrings and a feathery headband. Pair your patterned frock with strappy sandals—just make sure they’re flats!—so you can endure the weekend (or two) of music without getting your toes battered and bruised. Look like you’re a native Cali girl in these trendy pieces:
