    Actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, is a mom again! Bryce gave birth to a baby girl this past Thursday (January 19) who is named Beatrice Jean. What a sweet name! Beatrice is the little sister to four year old, Theo. Bryce's father, director Ron Howard, wrote on Twitter, "Beatrice Jean Howard-Gabel Born Jan 19 2012 8lbs 6oz Bryce & Baby B are spectacular. Daddy Seth & brother Theo are beaming ear to ear." We're so happy for Bryce and her family! Congratulations and welcome to world, Beatrice!

    After a bunch of ups and downs in their relationship, Kristin Cavallari announced that she and fiancee, Jay Cutler, are expecting a baby! The two were engaged last July but ended things for a few months before getting back together in November, and now they are pregnant! The couple recently said, "we are thrilled to announce we are expecting our first child together...It's an amzing time in our life and we can't wait to meet the new addition to our growing family." We're super happy for Kristin and Jay and we hope that they stay together in the long run now. (people)

    Monday, January 23rd 
    8:30 – Wake up call! 
    9:14 – Dressed and ready in almost head-to-toe Prada…boots by Lanvin, Chloé coat day. 
    9:18 – Quick espresso before heading to see the first collection of the day: Versace. 10:30 – Arrive at École des Beaux-Arts at 
    10:30 sharp as instructed, but they are not letting editors in yet. Models are still practicing and photographers are getting their shots. 
    10:48 – Photographers are ushered out and we are ushered in. 
    10:49 – Gold staircase/platform and no seating. Roughly 75 editors (max) are allowed to gather around the foot of the golden stairs. 
    10:56 – Diane Kruger, Cameron Diaz and Abbie Cornish emerge from backstage and take their places standing amongst the crowd of editors. Loving Cameron’s super sleek and cropped new bob!

    10:59 – The impossibly tall Karlie Kloss begins to climb up the pyramid of stairs, poses at the top, and then slinks down the side facing editors. 
    11:14 – What began with a flow of smooth and languid iridescent dove grey looks, ends in a rush of lemon yellows, sour limes, and juicy tangerine tones. Looks are trimmed in super shiny sculpted metal to underline the seaming and shape. Looks like there is not one, but several Oscar worthy contenders! A limey one-shouldered sequin number would be my pick for Cameron as it was shown on equally sporty Carmen—and would look stunning with Cameron’s new white blonde bob. 
    11:16 – Editors shuffle out to awaiting street style photogs on the Quai. I decide to dash down one block to the Dries Van Noten boutique. 
    11:19 – Realize that I am clearly not the only one who had this idea, as I peruse the new spring collection in between several E-I-C’s. 
    11:45 – I make it out of the Dries store with only an additional pair of sunglasses. Phew!
     
    Joann's new glasses! 
    12:03 – Walking back to the hotel I pause momentarily on one of the bridges as I cross over the Seine. Being here in Paris never gets old. 
    12:30 – Meet a friend for lunch at Ladurée’s original Rue Royale location (of course). The Salade Concorde might be the best salad created. Ever. 
    13:31 – Wave goodbye and catch a taxi over to Karla Otto’s Parisian headquarters. I’m headed there to see Marni’s pre-fall collection (it never made it to NYC). 
    13:47 – Ogle the adorably quirky mix of plaid and prints and brocades. They tell me that collection is supposed to feel a bit rebellious in spirit. Love. (The coat before is my favorite!) I found some adorable jewelry too, which, if they can rush us the high res images can be squeezed into April’s upcoming jewelry guide just in the nick of time. 
     
    From Marni's pre-fall collection. 
    14:18 – Next it’s over to Avenue Montaigne where the Christian Dior show is being held (instead of its regular musée Rodin location), which is nice as it appears it will be set up in an intimate salon style approach. 
    14:41 – Front row includes Bar Rafaeli, Olympia Scarry, Caroline Sieber, Olivia Palermo, Gaia Repossi, Natalia Vodianova, Elettra Wiedemann and a very busy Cameron Diaz. Somebody’s on a mission! 
    14:50 – Lights up, music starts, first model out: Karlie Kloss. If I tweeted it would read something like #whatsnew #officiallyasupermodel #soskinny 
    14:51 – Songstress-of-the-moment Lana Del Rey is going to be setting the mood for this show. Cue “Video Games.” 
    14:55 – Girl after girl trots past so close that sometimes their dress brush across your knees. That’s about as front row as it gets.Dior's ladylike front row. Photo: Getty Images 
    15:03 – The palette is mostly black, white, sedate purple and a range of corals to fiery red. The silouette is classic Dior: full skirts with a 50′s vibe. A few pieces are embroidered with quotations about “Elegance” that you can almost read as the girls pass by. Loving the purple nail color on all of the models’ fingers and toes. Mental note: run out and buy Dior Vernis, Shadow 783.

    Jamie Bochert’s one of the few (if only?) models to so publicly declare her disdain for the fashion industry and yet continue to book major jobs.  She’s long been a muse for Marc Jacobs, and appeared in Lanvin’s fall campaign last year, but could her turn for Jimmy Choo mark a more commercial path? Bochert stars with Magdalena Frackowiak in the luxury shoe brand’s spring campaign, photographed by Terry Richardson.  The two play rivals, according to WWD, though they don’t appear to be arguing over much more than a handbag.   The shoot was inspired by Justine, the 1969 film set in the Mediterranean, though Richardson shot the photos in New York.  It’s the first campaign since the resignation of president Tamara Mellon, though the aesthetic still suits her. As for the fight, our money’s on Jamie.

    Campaign season is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do we get to experience the best of spring 2012 fashion week all over again, but if we’re going to be totally honest, we’d rather see models at a candy-colored tea party or hovering above the ocean than walking on a runway. In the spirit of spreading the love, we’ve rounded up our favorite spring ad campaigns. Check out our list and leave a comment to let us know if we left anyone out!

    Louis Vuitton We stopped attending tea parties around the time we stopped talking to our stuffed animals but the candy-coated LV spring campaign made us want to break out our tea sets and send out some hand written invitations.

    Plein Philip Plein We love a comeback story and we rue the day when a Mean Girls reference doesn’t have a place in every possible conversation. That’s why we love Philip Plein’s spring ads, featuring the good-girl-gone-bad-gone-to-jail Lindsay Lohan.

    Miu Miu Even though they gave Hailee Steinfeld the boot after feeling the heat from critics who didn’t think a 15-year old should be representing a brand most 15-year olds can’t afford, we’re still fans of Miu Miu’s colorful, portrait-esque spring ads featuring Mia Wasikowska.

    Chanel Chanel’s spring ad campaign proves that models do work hard. Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls performed gymnastics moves over the ocean for some breathtaking shots. We weren’t the only ones who were impressed. Fashionista posted a behind-the-scenes video, showing how the acrobatic editorial was made.

    Versace Versace’s spring collection has strong oceanic currents in all the pieces so we were pumped too see the somewhat literal interpretation in their blue-tinted spring ad campaign. The editorial shots featured Giselle Bundchen poolside as well as in the water.

    Hervé Léger In Hervé Léger’s spring campaign, Fatima Siad proves that you don’t need to win America’s Next Top Model to become one of America’s next top models. We’re absolutely loving how fierce the third-place finalist of Cycle 10 looks in the minimalistic, highly stylized ads.

    Oscar de la Renta New blogger Karlie Kloss was the only source of color in a black and white world in this mind-bending spring campaign. With a constantly shifting maze of a floor and larger-than-life doorways, we were getting major Alice and  Wonderland vibes.

    Roberto Cavalli Cavalli featured supermodel legends Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Kristen McMenamy, along with 16-year-old newcomer Daphne Groeneveld in their spring ad campaign. We loved the high level of glam and high level of skill in these posh spreads.

    Tonight, ANTM finalist Angelea Preston is guest starring on the season premiere of MTV’s Made. The 25-year-old model and actress will appear as a “Made coach” helping a handful of Earl Warren High School student achieve their dreams of being crowned Homecoming King and Queen. We chatted with Angelea about what she was like in high school, how she deals with harsh winter weather and the even harsher modeling industry, and what beauty product she simply cannot live without. Check it out! ELLE Girl 
    (EG): How did you get involved with Made? 
    Angelea Preston (AP): The agency I was working with set up a casting call. I was a little nervous and I thought I was going for a wingwoman episode, but then I met with the casting director who told me they wanted me for a Homecoming King and Queen episode. I’d never been Homecoming Queen! They asked a lot about my high school experience and I got really excited and just kept thinking, ‘I hope I get this! I hope I get this!’ because I love working with kids and teens. Then they called me about a week later and gave me the part! 
    EG: What was your high school experience like? 
    AP: Very fun! Like I said, I wasn’t Homecoming Queen, I was actually kind of a nerd. I was really concerned about my grades and part of Italian Club and a peer education group, BART. I went to schools and talked to kids my own age about STDs and HIV and AIDS. I wanted to be a cheerleader, but I was nervous and kind of shy. I was very tall and very thin, and I felt like the most awkward person in school, I just felt out of place. 
    EG: In a sneak peek for tonight’s episode, you spoke about not feeling confident in high school but that you eventually regained that confidence. How did you go about doing that? 
    AP: Basically by gaining experience. As a teenager you’re worried about what everyone thinks, you want the nicest clothes and the nicest sneakers, and you worry about who has the nicest car. That’s just what you think about. As you get older, you become more of your own person and you think about the problems from high school and they don’t seem real—you think ‘why was I thinking about that boy, I have college courses to worry about and bills to pay!’ 
    EG: What was it like to be figuratively “back in high school” while coaching? 
    AP: It was so much fun! I felt like the new kid at school! It brought me back to being 16 and 17 and going to a new school for the first time and worrying if everyone would like me but I had so much fun. It felt great to be at a school that was so different from mine—they have a lot more freedom. They get to go out to lunch and eat outside and eat at restaurants! Everyone was also really welcoming, the staff at Earl Warren was welcoming and San Antonio was welcoming and the kids were great. I really miss them! We’re friends are on Facebook  and I’m going back in March for a festival called Fiesta. 
    EG:You also said in the sneak peek that being “in charge” shouldn’t be the goal of someone running for Homecoming Queen and that conflict resolution and a positive attitude are important. Is that one way you approach life in general? 
    AP: Absolutely. It’s very important to remember that if your peers can’t relate to you, if they can’t think of you as a friend and talk to you, if you play the role of HBIC, they’re going to look at you like you’re crazy. In the industry I’m in, you get told ‘no’ a lot and you have to not let negativity drag you down. 
    EG: On the note of not letting negativity get to you, you didn’t make it into cycle 12 of ANTM, made it to the semi-finals in cycle 14, and were one of the three finalists in cycle 17. What would you say was your key to success? 
    AP: My key was growth. In cycle 12, I was off the wall, I didn’t care and I didn’t even make it past the first episode. After cycle 12 and after I had actually watched myself on TV, I was like “wow, this is crazy.” Of course, there’s editing and a lot of things are cut but for the most part, there was a lot going on, both on and off screen, in my personal life and in my career and it was personal growth for me in life that helped me succeed. 
    EG: You handled your disqualification from ANTM very gracefully. Do you have advice for people who hit major set backs?
    AP: Keep going, just keep going. I loved my time on America’s Next Top Model, and I’m so grateful to the producers and to Tyra for giving me the chance to showcase my work in that way—and congratulations to Lisa, and I wish her success in all of her endeavors. You just have to keep going; no one can direct your destiny but you. People will tell you can’t do this, you’re too tall, too short, you need to lose fifteen pounds, you need to gain fifteen pounds. Everyone who has succeeded has endured negative criticism, but they’ve got something inside them that says ‘you can do it’ and they take every negative comment with a grain of salt. 
    EG: Modeling is a cut-throat, highly demanding industry. How have you managed not to lose who you are and to stay true to yourself? 
    AP: I always remember where I come from. I’m from Buffalo, NY, and I didn’t grow up rich. I didn’t grow up poor either, but my parents worked so hard to give me everything, and my goal and my motivation has been wanting something better for myself and my family. They also help keep me grounded. I’m living in New York City right now, taking acting classes and getting into acting, and it’s good to go home and see the people who genuinely love you for yourself and your friends who want your friendship for no other reason than genuinely enjoying your company, who knew you before you were on TV. They help me stay grounded and humble, especially my niece, Niesha, I love her so much. 
    EG: You’re from Buffalo so you’re used to intense winters. What are your best tips for surviving winter weather? 
    AP: Oh my God, I am used to the crazy snow. I just layer on a bunch of clothes. I’m in L.A. right now so I don’t have to deal with it but at home I just layer on the clothes: three or four sweaters, a big puffy coat, two pairs of socks. I’ve very thin too so it’s hard to stay warm. I just go completely overboard and bundle up. 
    EG: Do you have a favorite celebrity you follow on Twitter? 
    P: Let’s see…I love to follow 50 cent; I think he’s tweet are so funny. I follow about 500 people, about half are celebrities and half are fans so there’s always a lot on my dash, but I love 50 cent. 
    EG: What about a favorite reality TV show? 
    AP: Oh yeah, I watch tons of reality shows! I love The Real Housewives shows, there was a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills marathon on last night and I watched that, pretty much anything on Bravo. I love VH1 reality shows, love Mob Wives, T.I & Tiny, yeah I love reality T.V. 
    EG: What is one beauty product you cannot live without? 
    AP: Definitely facial cleanser. Because I wear so much makeup on shoots I need a really good cleanser and I have to wash my face everyday. I don’t like to use the same kind all the time because I don’t want my skin to get used to it but I would recommend Neutrogena Acne Wash. Whenever I  use it my skin clears up in like a week. Clean and Clear is also a great brand and Noxema has a regular cleansing cream which works well on my skin which is kind of sensitive but also oily.

    Unless you live on the West Coast, you know about seasons. And when seasons change, so must our skincare regimen. The weather and its elements affect our skin so much that if you reach for the same products all year long, you’re doing your skin a disservice. It’s something we’re trying to be better at, too. We recently chatted with top NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas about the most common winter skincare mistakes we make, and what we can do protect our skin during the most severe inclement weather. And below, check out our favorite go-to products we stock up on when Old Man Winter settles in. 
    ELLEgirl: What are the definite Don’ts of skincare during the cold season every gal must know? 
    Dr. Anne Chapas: Skipping moisturizer. Not wearing sunscreen because it’s not “summer.” Using gels that dry out instead of moisturizing lotions and creams. Using abrasive soaps. Taking long, hot showers. 
    ELLEgirl: Does winter skincare differ from skin type to skin type? 
    Dr. Chapas: Yes and no. Everyone’s skin is drier in the winter. However, if someone is oily to start with, she might be more normal in the winter months, whereas a person with normal skin type may be dry in the winter months. 
    ELLEgirl: What are the top products every girl should be using on her skin? 
    Dr. Chapas: Two things: a mild cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher, anti-oxidants, and Retinol. 
    ELLEgirl: Is there a specific product that we shouldn’t spend our money on? Why? 
    Dr. Chapas: Anything with fancy packaging. Save your money for things that have been scientifically proven to improve the health and appearance of the skin, not something that looks pretty on the shelf. 
    ELLEgirl: Should our AM and PM skincare routines be different? If so, in what ways? 
    Dr. Chapas: In the morning, use a moisturizer with sunscreen. At night, apply retinol/Retin A, since these are inactivated by sunlight. 
    ELLEgirl: If a girl has 10 minutes in the morning to get ready, what skin regimen would you recommend? 
    Dr. Chapas: Use a mild cleanser with an exfoliating brush, and cover up with a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. 
    ELLEgirl: Does keeping a humidifier in our bedrooms really make a huge difference? 
    Dr. Chapas: Yes! Especially in the winter. 
    ELLEgirl: What’s the best way to prevent and control breakouts during the winter season? 
    Dr. Chapas: Always remove make-up—no exceptions! Use a water-based moisturizer after Retinol at night. 
    ELLEgirl: How do you know for sure that a product’s not working/not best for your skin type? Dr. Chapas: If your skin is dry, red, or irritated, you need to make a change. Top Products for Winter Skincare
