Today's Horoscope for Cancer

CANCER
June22 nd through July 22nd

Shift into a cooperative mindset today, Cancer. The reason you keep hitting that wall is because you’re trying to figure everything out on your own. Opinion-poll your friends for personal advice. Get feedback from coworkers on your career block. Don’t expect any one person to hold the answer though. You’ll need to synthesize all the data into a solution that works for you. Considering other possibilities is a great exercise in opening your mind as well as your creative channels.

Pants I love to have in my Closet

1.Dark jeans with a uniform wash,  are a no-brainer because you can wear them for day or evening and they go with everything in your closet.

2.There are the leggings you wear when you get home from work, and then there are the leggings you can actually wear in public.

3. Having a pair of cords, khakis or cargos in your wardrobe will prove useful when you want to go for more of a rustic vibe with your look.

4. Color Jeans or pants Choose the silhouette and material that suit your personal style and a color that complements your skin tone, and break these ones out when you really want to make a fashion statement. .

5. Boyfriend jeans do we have to convince you that having a pair of loose, comfortable jeans in your wardrobe is a good idea? Well it just is, my friend.

6. Never underestimate the power of slim ankle-length  trousers pants and a pair of classic pumps. A neutral color and a not-too-tight fit are what keep this must-have looking professional and sophisticated.

Celine canceled show at Paris

LVMH announced  that staging a show next month is out of the question; designer Phoebe Philo is pregnant with her third child.  The compnay’s CEO told WWD, “A runway show is a very demanding and personal engagement for a creative director. The objective is to simplify.”
Instead, they’ll stage a presentation somewhere in Paris during their time slot (March 4, 1PM).  We’re guessing this means a bash in honor of Céline’s new Madison Avenue store, opening within a month, is absolutely out of the question.
French house Céline will not have a runway show at Paris Fashion Week this March due to creative director Phoebe Philo’s pregnancy. Only Céline, the brand that has, in just two years, had a ripple effect on style across the globe, could get away with canceling its Paris runway show at such a young age and still be the most exciting collection in Europe. Since taking the reins at the French fashion house in 2008, London-based Philo has reinvented the Celine brand with her luxe, pared-down aesthetic, making the label a fashion editor favourite. Philo is also known for her work at Chloé. She graduated from Central Saint Martins a year after Stella McCartney. Won Designer of the Year 2010 in the "British Fashion Awards."

S O P A

The tech industry is abuzz about SOPA and PIPA, a pair of anti-piracy bills.The Stop Online Piracy Act ( SOPA), also known as H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011.When Rep. Lamar Smith announced the Stop Online Piracy Act in late October, he knew it was going to be controversial.This bill would establish a system for taking down websites that the Justice Department determines to be dedicated to copyright infringment. Forbes contributor John Gaudiosi writes:   Both SOPA and Protect IP attempt to combat online piracy by preventing American search engines like Google and Yahoo from directing users to sites distributing stolen content. Google, Wikipedia, and icanhascheezburger.com all agree. The industries pushing SOPA and PIPA aren't protecting jobs, they are protecting revenues. As the Internet orchestrated a massive protest Wednesday against the SOPA and PIPA bills, with blackouts on Wikipedia and beyond, hundreds of tech enthusiasts took that protest to the streets in New York City. The NY Tech Meetup community, an organization of more than 20,000 "geeks, investors, entrepreneurs, hackers, etc..." spread from the Web into the streets of New York  more in-person protests are scheduled for San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Washington D.C.

The best advertising images of spring/summer 2012

Versace

VERSACE - What could exude summer glamour more than Gisele Bundchen clad in bright white Versace beside a sun-drenched California swimming pool? The images, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and creative directed by Giovanni Bianco



Salvatore Ferragamo

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO - Evidently Versace wasn’t the only label which thought the Brazilian supermodel summed up summer: “I had no doubt about who to feature in this campaign,” Salvatore Ferragamo creative director Massimiliano Giornetti explained. “Gisele is the ideal woman to embody this spring/summer collection: extraordinary beauty and allure; naturally sophisticated at the same time. I’ve known Noah [Mills] for ages: I couldn’t see any other man by Gisele's side, equalling her force and sensuality while maintaining unaltered elegance. And I wasn’t wrong: they’re magnificent in Mikael [Jansson]’s photos.


Louis Vuitton

LOUIS VUITTON - "The spirit of our spring/summer 2012 collection is reflected beautifully in this new ad campaign," artistic director Marc Jacobs said. "All the tone and texture of the collection – the lightness, the prettiness, the broderie anglaise, the mille-feuille layers of organza – are recreated in these wonderful images by Steven Meisel. It is all very soft and very sweet, yet at the same time very bold and very graphic." The images star up-and-coming models Daria Strokous and Kati Nescher.


Mulberry

MULBERRY - Frida Gustavsson and Lindsey Wixson go to Brighton for Mulberry’s latest seaside-inspired campaign, styled by Emma Hill under the creative direction of Ronnie Cookie Newhouse and her acclaimed House + Holme team and captured by master of props Tim Walker. Like the show; sticks of rock, ice-cream cones and stripy deckchairs fill the scene and remind us of holidays past.
Roverto Cavalli

ROBERTO CAVALLI  Think of Cavalli’s signature glamour, and it’s bound to be worn by a supermodel as you envision it – and it seems the designer agrees, enlisting as he did Naomi Campbell for his latest campaign. Karen Elson, Kristen McMenamy and Daphne Groeneveld also don the spring/summer 2012 offering in the images, shot by Steven Meisel.

Cindy Crawford's daughter becomes Versace's new muse

The face of the Young Versace childrenswear line may only be 10-years-old, but she's got an inside track of what it takes to be a supermodel. Like mother, like daughter! Cindy Crawford ’s daughter Kaia Gerber has been picked to front Versace's inaugural childrenswear campaign. In case anyone had ever wondered if good looks were genetic, this picture is the answer: YES. Kaia Gerber- Crawford emulates the career of her supermodel mother, who was a muse of the late Gianni Versace.

The new face of Dior Mila Kunis

The sexy beast that is Mila Kunis is the New Face of Dior! I love Mila, she’s just so exotic looking. It was recently announced that Mila Kunis is the new face of Dior. After Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard, the house of Dior continues its homage to actresses by adding to this line-up the sweet Mila Kunis. She'll be modeling in the Spring/Summer 2012 advertising campaign for the Miss Dior handbag collection. The 28-year-old is part of a line of other beautiful famous faces of Dior. I find the campaign shots to be gorgeous.
