- This week's best dressed are full of fun, flirty dresses! We love Olivia Palermo's strong shock of color, Amber Heard's sweet 50's dress, and how absolutely gorgeous Rachel Weisz looks. So go to your closet and throw on your favorite dress! Who cares if you don't have an occasion, you'll turn heads wherever you go!

- Here's some sneak peeks of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, with the dreamy Christian Bale dressed as Batman and practicing scenes with Tom Hardy, who plays Bane. Are you a fan of Batman? Or maybe you're more of a Spider-Man girl?

- I was happy to have my Guestbook open briefly this week, and I was even happier when lady_sudy left me a message and basically gave me this week's Dream Suite!
I love lady_sudy's Suite, as it feels like an expansive, upscale mansion. All the rooms match to make one big house. She has several closed rooms, and I'm pretty excited to see what's underneath them!
Visit lady_sudy's Suite today!

In 2009, London Fashion Week celebrated its 25th anniversary. International press flew in, Burberry returned home from Milan and the celebrity quotient rivaled that of New York Fashion Week. Somehow (probably thanks to a crop of brilliant young designers and Burberry’s decision to stay put) they’ve managed to maintain that momentum for two years. They changed locations, to Somerset House, hired a PR firm and now, for the spring 2012 season, the British Fashion Council is appointing cultural ambassadors to further promote British fashion. First up is Laura Bailey, the British model, writer and mother of two usually found at the center of London fashion happenings. In a release, she said “I’m proud of my new ambassadorship with the BFC and I am thrilled to be to working with and promoting young British talent. I think it’s a really exciting time for British fashion—via the shows, in the shops and on the streets. I’m also keen to work with the BFC on their collaboration with the film and art world.” Bailey will be meeting with designers and stylists before they show their collections in September to get the inside scoop on what’s about to hit the runway. Who do you think should join her as the next BFC ambassador?

- It seems that some celebs get stuck in the same pose, you know where they pose exactly the same for every single picture?! And AnnaLynne McCord is one of those celebs. Her trademark: blowing a kiss. We've noticed AnnaLynne playing lip to the camera at almost every event she's pap'd at! While it may cute and spontaneous at first, it definitely gets old after awhile. Come on AnnaLynne, it's time to change things up.

- Jeepers creepers—platforms are back from the dead according to Prada’s 2011 spring collection. If you didn’t quite catch the shoes at first because of the banana tees and vibrant colors, you definitely heard them stomping down then runway. Prada dubs these puppies “creepers,” which seems appropriate considering they look a little old-men orthopedic. The first thing that came to our minds were the pure white Steve Madden platform sneakers circa the fifth grade. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Just watch an old episode of Two of A Kind starring none other than MK and A. We guess the new wave of these platforms are the sophisticated version? We even aren’t too sure, but you tell us—will you be getting a pair anytime soon? Here is Prada’s Oxford-ified x platform sneaker.

- Anna Kendrick is one of our favorite actresses, she has serious talent! Sometimes her red carpet fashion choices are a bit iffy, but if there's one thing we've learned about fashion it's that you can't go wrong with a pair of skinny jeans and a simple black top! Now if she would just do something about her hair!

Christopher Kane is an inventive, talented, and all-together unique, new-to-the-scene fashion designer who we absolutely love. He’s somewhat of a fashion industry darling: he won this year’s British Fashion Council Fund and counts Donatella Versace as a mentor. Kane always manages to find something familiar and rework it into his designs in a never-before-done way. Take his resort 2011 collection, for instance, which featured beautiful celestial photos that look they came from the NASA website printed on simply-cut apparel…totally amazing. Kane always finds the border of what was he thinking? and why didn’t I think of that?, and while his resort 2011 looks fell in the latter, his fall 2011 ideas might be a part of the less fortunate former. Model after model appeared on the runway in basic black pieces decorated with plastic gel-filled trims and details that, honestly, kind of remind of us our Lisa Frank school supplies.

- This is so sweet! Harry Potter BFFs, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton, have remained in touch even after the end of their epic lives at Hogwarts. Tom was recently in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," and Rupert showed up to the premiere wearing a homemade shirt that said, "I Love Tom Felton." Ummm, adorable? Yes! Hey Rupert, we love Tom too!

- We just can't get enough of Leona Lewis, she's so gorgeous! We spotted Leona leaving Nobu wearing some of the hottest trends of this season: pleats, lace, and hot pink lips! We wish we looked that good all the time!
