The Core Values campaign pictures Angelina Jolie sitting barefoot in a traditional wooden boat in the luxuriant, watery landscape of Siem Reap province. Next to her is a vintage Louis Vuitton Alto holdall in Monogram canvas, a bag the actress has owned and loved for many years. The tagline reads: “A single journey can change the course of a life. Cambodia, May 2011.”

Louis Vuitton has released the first image of their new campaign featuring Angelina Jolie. The ad, taken by famous photographer Annie Liebovitz, was shot on location in Cambodia, where Jolie filmed Tomb Raider and adopted her first son Maddox. The ad has significant meaning for her, because in addition to the location, she is using an LV bag she personally owned for many years already (and bag that has been since discontinued). Some sites claims Jolie is also without make-up in the ad, a claim I will not believe because really now, she doesn’t have eye make-up there? (Take a look!). Clearly, it is like comparing refurbished computers with new ones, claiming they are brand new.

Some women are plain lucky – they get the man of their dreams, their true love and one of those most remembered solitaire engagement rings. Certified diamonds are always a staple in engagement rings (plus a couple of wholesale loose diamonds if the guy is extravagant) and here are some of the most famous engagement rings that created a buzz around the entertainment world during their time.

1. Lady Diana (Price: $65,000 – back in the day). To date, this is the most copied engagement ring in history

2. Grace Kelly (Price: $600,000 – back in the day). Prince Ranier III of Monacco gave Kelly two rings. First was a Cartier eternity band of diamonds and rubies. However, when he visited her in the US, he realized how big the diamonds were in that country so he had one made, a 12-carat emerald-cut diamond.

3. Jacqueline Kennedy (Price: $750,000). It was 2.88c diamond mounted next to a 2.84 carat emerald and tapering baguettes. The ring was reset with round diamonds, totaling 0.66 carat, and marquise diamonds, totaling 1.46 carats.

4. Katie Holmes (Price: $275,000). Katie Holmes got a five carat oval-shaped diamond set in platinum and rose gold with an intricate pave setting.

5. Jennifer Lopez. (Price: $2M). The ring, given by Ben Affleck, 6.5 carat plush pink heart shaped diamond. Only one out of 10,000 diamonds will posses this natural color. Lopez returned the ring when they broke off the engagement.

6. Victoria Beckham (Price: $2M): Boodle & Dunthorne created a 3-carat marquise-cut diamond embraced with a trillion on either side for the Posh.

7. Ivanka Trump (Price: $2M): Kushner presented her with a 5.22 carat cushion-cut diamond with a platinum and diamond mounting ring.

8. Catherine Zeta-Jones (Price: $2.5M): It is a Fred Leighton design. It has a 10 carat center stone surrounded by 28 smaller stones.

9. Mariah Carey (Price: $2M): Jacob & Co made this ring for Mimi. It’s a 17-carat quare emerald-cut pink center diamond surrounded by 58 pink diamonds and two half-moon diamonds on each side.

10. Beyonce Knowles (Price: $5M) She has two engagement rings – The 18-carat diamond ring and a “fake” version worth $5,000 for her to wear in public gatherings and concerts.

Look who is wearing the hottest summer trend: whites:

Uma Thurman and Gisele Bundchen:

White takes precendence over every color this summer, and not only are we wearing it, we’re wearing it all over! Chic and easy pieces in soft, billowy silhouettes are what makes the white-hot trend one of the freshest takes on minimalism. Forget adding a pop of color, play with textures instead. Mix a white lace blouse with a white chiffon maxi skirt, or opt for an oversized white button up mixed with a billowy white skirt. Don’t forget to add a pair of white wedges and a few girly extras, like a bow headband or wide brim fedora.

The 35-year-old actress is reportedly getting paid close to $10 million for the lucrative deal with the French fashion company.

The ad campaign will be print only and launch this summer. The campaign will be shot by photographer Annie Leibowitz within the next few weeks.

Go Angelina!

J.Lo has recently been chosen by People Magazine as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World for 2011. I love this girl and have been following her fashion choices ever since she came out regularly on TV via American Idol. I also love how they have chosen a woman “with curves” this year!

I really need to lose weight if I want to be able to dress like Quinn from Glee before I turn old and grey . I have been reading about fenphedrine reviews, thinking if I can somehow use it to help me lose weight. I have always looked forward to the Possessionista’s Glee outfit recaps on her blog. She knows how to do some mean research!

I often wonder how Hollywood celebrities can look so glamorous all the time. For sure, due to lack of sleep and the tons of make-up they need to wear, they have breakouts every now and then. Do they use epiduo? Look at the stars rocking the red carpet at the Grammys:

J.Lo:
Jennifer Lopez showed off her stems upon arrival, going super-short in a metallic silver, sequined Pucci mini sheath. She doesn’t skimp on accessories either, opting for bold, silver-spiked heels, a mirrored clutch, and ultra-glam hair and makeup.

Heidi Klum:
The gorgeous Heidi Klum is glowing on the carpet tonight, opting for a gold, shoulder-baring Julien Macdonald gown. It’s a bit of a ’70s style moment, complete with a pair of multicolored snakeskin platforms; but natural makeup, gold studs, and simple swept-back hair keep things from going over the top.

Glee Cast:
All the Glee girls got glam for the Grammy Awards tonight. Jenna Ushkowitz opted for feminine tulle, Lea Michele went the sexy route in black, Amber Riley showed off her funky flair in a strapless print number, Dianna Agron worked a Vivienne Westwood LBD, and Naya Rivera played with a sassy high-low hemline.

For FabSugar, these were the Fab 5 that rocked the Red Carpet:

Julianne Hough and Kelly Osbourne, in Tadashi Shoji, lent major brightness and romance to the mix. Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez were responsible for the shine factor, and Jennifer Hudson proved that the words sexy and fashionable can indeed be synonymous.

The television show America’s Next Top Supermodel has definitely brought to life the model’s life. More girls now are even more inspired to aspire to be a model and it shows in how they dress, how they move, and how they pose. It is not surprising that a lot of girls might now want their own runway at home, pretty much how runways have always been incorporated in top model houses in the TV show. Creating your own runway is not that difficult. All you need is epoxy flooring and you are good to sashay down your runway.

Simply choose an area where you want your runway. An epoxy floor is strong, durable, and resistant to stains, making it good for a runway that is constantly walked on. You could practice your catwalk as often as you like and your floor will not get worn or cracked. Aside from this, epoxy floors are slip resistant, making them perfect for high heels so that you will surely not have any accidents while on the runway.

Of course, the glassy and lustrous finish of epoxy floor coatings will also make your runway look classy and elegant. So if you are aiming to be the next top supermodel, then you should have your own runway at home.

So maybe some of these stars are guilty of taking testoripped to lose weight fast, it has worked miracles! Here are some beauty trends we spotted on the red carpet:

1. Elegant Up-dos were everywhere. My favorites were from Lea Michele and Amy Adams.

Amy went for a modern, textured ’20s look. The loose strands around her face gave it an easy, undone feel. (LOVE THIS!)

Here was how it was done:
From Fab Sugar:

For her hair, Essensuals London owner Laini Reeves created a low, tousled bun. She rough-dried Amy’s hair for volume and went in with a curling iron to create messy texture. She pulled all of Amy’s hair together in a loose braid, and then rolled it up and pinned it to the nape of her neck. To finish off, she pulled a few strands out and curled them with a curling iron.

2. Chic Ponytails too!
Amber Riley’s askew ponytail (gotta love those curls!)

And J.Lo’s clean ponytail:

From the front, Jennifer’s ponytail looks sleek and stylish, but from the back, things got a little more interesting. A sparkling hair accessory gave a glamorous touch, while the double ponytail created lots volume and texture.

But if you ask me which hair and make-up really stood out, I would go with these three: Milla Jovovich, Halle Berry and Natalie Portman
