worlwide - so the ads for eva mendes' calvin kline underwear ad campaign are finally out. cute. but i am sorry, i am still thrown by her rehab stint and alleged coke binging incidents. i can't see past it. thank god i am already a fan of calvin kline underwear, cause this campaign would have had a hard time moving me. am i the only one side-eyeing?

dubai - well i guess if it had to happen, something this tacktastic would only go down in dubai. and no offense to this lovely city. i live for dubai and one day hope to have a second home then. it's just unfortunate that some of the tackiest projects in the world (i.e. the world) insist on opening in this poor - yet rich - location. but i digress....roberto cavalli is opening a club. yes. and it's called - you guessed it: club cavalli. it promises to be a cornucopia of cornucopias: we are talking restaurants, dance spaces, crazy architecture, several floors of music, etc. etc. all enjoyed with chilled bottles of cavalli vodka. the dubai locations opens this november, with a second in florence by the end of the year. several other locations are also being planned. words finally fail me.

worldwideweb - so yall know how much i love fashionista.com. and like a nerd, i get especially excited when i see their "adventures in copyright" section where they juxtapose two items which seem identical but are from different companies. as always forever 21 is the main store ripping off a high end label. this time it's fendi. these two clutches are eerily similar. but considering that the forever 21 version probably costs $21 and the fendi one $2100 (just guessing here, but i am sure i am close) which one would you buy? honestly!?

miami - so by now you've already seen photos, especially of singer teyanna taylor, pumping down the runway of diesel's swim show. it was a big deal because this is diesel's first foray into swimwear (very surprising since they've been doing lingerie for a while). that said though, i was very, very underwhelmed by the rest of the show. without the collegiate gimmics (see photos) the swimsuits didn't really stand on their own. it's seemed all styling and no substance, which is quiet disappointing since i've always loved diesel's structured/sultry design. i would have hoped it would have translated into this latest venture.
