Ever since Tory Burch’s ex-husband Chris Burch — who helped found her label, serving as chairman of its board — started opening a series of C. Wonder stores last year which emulate Tory’s branding, rumors have dogged the former couple. Late last year, reports began circulating that Chris was looking to sell his Tory Burch stake for $600 million, and that Tory was threatening legal action against Chris for copying her business plan with C. Wonder. Earlier this month, the litigation rumors returned. And now comes word that Chris has stepped down as co-chair of the board after being ordered out of a February 22 board meeting. He remains a shareholder and board member at Tory Burch, although Barclays Capital is said to be working on selling his shares. Tory is now the company’s sole chair. A source told the New York Post: “Tory is working with Chris to avoid more brand confusion. She is asking him to change his concept, which includes C. Wonder’s product, the design and the boutique. It remains Tory’s intent not to litigate — she is hopeful he’ll agree to change his concept. Litigation would be the very last resort.”

It’s not unusual to see crews of artists inside the windows of luxury boutiques on a seasonal basis, but to see skilled artisans work their magic on scaffolding? Only in Paris — and only Louis Vuitton. We stumbled across the not-yet open Vuitton Joaillerie store on the corner of the Place Vendôme on the Rue de la Paix after Balmain’s fall show. At least six people were hard at work, affixing individual gold, pin-sized dots to the already sketched design. If they put that much work into the cardboard barriers, we can’t wait to see what they do with the boutique.

This Summer, Daphne Guinness will auction off 100 pieces from her personal closet to benefit the charity she set up in Isabella Blow’s memory. “The Daphne Guinness Collection: Sold to Benefit the Isabella Blow Foundation” auction includes designs from Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Balenciaga and will go on sale June 27 at Christie’s South Kensington in London. Just previous to the sale, Christie’s will exhibit the items to the public from June 23 to June 27. Guinness’s mission for the Isabella Blow Foundation, established in late 2011, is to support emerging talent at the intersection of art and fashion. A percentage of funds generated by the foundation will also go to mental health charities.

Amber.Stardoll- The two most powerful celebs in the world are now working together to prevent bullying - how great is that?! Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey visited Harvard yesterday to launch the youth-empowering "Born This Way Foundation." The foundation's purpose is to “foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated.” It was founded by Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta after a 14-year-old boy killed himself in 2011 because of bullying he endured online and at school.The nonprofit organization is partner's with Harvard's Center for Internet & Society and together they address "issues of self-confidence, anti-bullying, mentoring, and career development through research, education, and advocacy, in large part by harnessing the power of the Internet." "Bullying must become illegal", the singer stated on Twitter recently. We really support this foundation! A great step in the right direction! (rollingstone)

- We spotted Rihanna when she was seen leaving her hotel in London. She really has her own style, and her outfit is really something that only she could look good in. We love her original style!

- Last year at the Academy Awards, Natalie Portman was radiant and expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millepied. Well, this year it looks like she secretly tied the knot with Benjamin! The two were spotted with wedding bands on the ring fingers- so it seems that they tricked us all and got married! Congratulations are in due to the newly married couple- or maybe they've been married for awhile, we don't know! (usweekly)
