Taylor Swift is belle in black
Speaking of supportive friends, Taylor Swift, too proved of her being a good friend attending the Los Angeles premiere of Walt Disney Picture’s “Hannah Montana: The Movie” in Hollywood, California last night (April 2). The movie stars the singer’s best pal and teen sensation, Miley Cyrus.
Clad in a shimmering black Naeem Khan dress and bow-topped heels Taylor is undoubtedly the belle of the night of course next to Miley. I just love how the frock contrasted Taylor’s fair complexion while complimenting it at the same time. With her complexion, the singer had to be careful in choosing colors that would wash her out. This black frock is a good choice, although at her age, she can actually try to experiment on bolder and daring color.
All in all, she looked great and fabulous here.

LeAnn Rimes, Marissa Miller, Martina McBride, Miley Cyrus, and Nicole Kidman @ the 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards
Now we’re finally on our last batch of our Celebrity Fashion Watch 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards special.
Let’s check out who from this list stood out in the crowd with their red carpet looks.
LeAnn Rimes
Kicking off this batch is a little black dress and Jimmy Choo sandals sported by LeAnn Rimes at the event. But while I love the Choo gladiators and have nothing against the LBD, I just think LeAnn could’ve done a little better than this. You know, with all the colors in the red carpet at the event, one can’t help but wonder why LeAnn had to settle in this quite frumpy look.
Marissa Miller
Doing a re-run to January Jones’s Emmy Awards look last year, Marissa Miller was clad in this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 dress. While Marissa may have missed that her gown’s already been worn by somebody in the red carpet, she could’ve done a little effort to pull off this look. My I wouldn’t have noticed this look from the crowd.
Martina McBride
Another hey-fabulous-but-I’ve-seen-this-before look is Martina McBride’s white flowing Badgley Mischka gown embellished with embroidered turquoise beads and jewels on her shoulder.
Well if only for looking fabulous at the event, I would give this a hit verdict.
Miley Cyrus
I don’t really know if I should love or hate Miley’s clay grey Monique Lhullier one-shouldered gown as I still can’t decide whether I like it or not. I guess it’s just too neutral that one can’t even make any comment of it. And a so-so look it’s actually not good in fashion as it also spells D-U-H?!
Nicole Kidman
Looking really slender in her L’Wren Scott gown from the designer’s Fall 2009 collection, Nicole Kidman was actually in her usual glamorous self which is actually nothing new and nothing fresh.
Aside from finding the look boring already, I think Nicole should try other designers, too as her looks have turned out monotonous and predictable already.
And so that wraps up our Celebrity Fashion Watch 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards special.

Heidi and Spencer’s Mattress Makeout Session
Feeling the urge to get a little face time, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt continued about on what was a day-long romp around West Hollywood on Wednesday (April 8).
Following a lovey-dovey lunch at Cafe Med, the pair headed off to change into different outfits before making the next stop on their afternoon agenda.
Looking sexy in a little white top with matching short-shorts and strappy heels, Heidi flirtingly posed for photogs at the Grange furniture store on Melrose Avenue.
The peroxide pair even tested out a new mattress, with Miss Montag jumping on top of her man as the two shared a passionate smooch.

The French Cacharel Story
Jean Cacharel (French designer)
Jean Cacharel became an established designer name in the mid-1960s when his fitted, printed, and striped shirts for women became fashion “must haves”—so much so that by the end of the decade French women went into stores not asking for a shirt, but for a “Cacharel.” The designer had finally done for women what others had not—created a shirt that was flattering, comfortable and easy to wear.
Cacharel, Jean Bousquet, came to Paris from Nïmes in the mid-1950s, where he had apprenticed in men’s tailoring. Adopting the name of Cacharel, which was taken from the Camargue’s native wild duck, he moved into womenswear as a designer/cutter for Jean Jourdan in Paris. At the time womenswear was dominated by Parisian haute couture and mass market took a dim second place. Cacharel was one of the first designers to foresee a fashion future beyond the oldmonied clientéle and catered to an emerging nouvelle riche and fashion-conscious mass market. The strong emergence of youth culture in the 1950s and 1960s strengthened his vision.
Cacharel opened his own business at the end of the 1950s and employed Emmanuelle Khanh as a stylist and designer. Together they created a company image that was very French, young, and sporty in fresh matching separates that were colorful, pretty and wearable. Success was sealed in 1965 when Cacharel began working with Liberty of London. He rescaled and recolored traditional floral prints so they became softer and more flattering. Prints previously scorned as frumpy and homely were transformed by Cacharel’s cut and taste into snappy, feminine, wearable clothes. Liberty of London subsequently stocked and sold the Cacharel label for decades.
Further developments at Cacharel included moves into licensing and distribution agreements. Cacharel’s sister-in-law, Corinne Grandval, joined the firm and helped introduce a successful mini couture line for children, which was widely copied and adapted in the industry. Cacharel’s children, Guillaume and Jessica, also joined the family business in the 1990s. Yet by the turn of the century, the Cacharel name needed a boost. Though it still represented stylish ready-to-wear for women in France and throughout Europe and Latin America, the name was recognizable only in fragrances in the United States. Setting out to crack the American market and spruce up its image, Cacharel decided to launch new versions of two if its earlier fragrances.
Cacharel’s Loulou and Eden came out in 1987 and 1994 respectively; their younger, hipper counterparts, Loulou Blue and Eau d’Eden debuted in 1995 and 1996. The introductions, however, came at difficult time for the company, as its namesake was on trial for misdeeds while the mayor of Nïmes, where the business was based. Subsequently convicted, Jean Cacharel was fined and sentenced to a year in jail, followed by a year of probation. Cacharel, the business, continued during its founder’s confinement. In 1998 came the launch of Noa, an exciting fragrance and body products line symbolizing female empowerment and spiritual harmony. Its mate, the first Cacharal men’s fragrance in almost two decades, Nemo, came out the following year.
The complementary scents, like all of Cacharel’s later fragrances, were directed at a youthful crowd complete with flashy packaging and aggressive advertising campaigns. Boldly going against the unisex fragrance trend, Cacharel’s distinctly male and female scents were a welcome hit in the U.S., which had proven resistant to earlier Cacharel fragrances (with the exception of Anaïs Anaïs which had been an enduring success).
While Noa brought the Cacharel name to the forefront of the fragrance industry, with mega sales worldwide, Cacharel’s womenswear was bolstered with arrival of the Clements Ribeiro design team in 2000.
Husband-and-wife team Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro’s ready-to-wear collections in 2000 and 2001 were warmly received. While the duo continued to design under their own label as well as at Cacharel, Clements commented to Women’s Wear Daily in August 2000, “Now we can be more whimsical and extreme with Clements Ribeiro. Cacharel, on the other hand, is more grounded in reality. It is more simple and has pieces, like suits, that we wouldn’t do for our own line, but that are important for Cacharel because it is a full collection with an economic reality.”
Under the artistic direction of Clements and Ribeiro, the 40-year-old house of Cacharel was in good hands. The company’s founder, Jean Cacharel said, “Clements and Ribeiro have tapped into the true Cacharel spirit. The line is about creative pieces that can be easily mixed and matched—all at an affordable price.” In addition to reinvigorating its ready-to-wear and other clothing collections, Cacharel introduced matching accessories and opened a new store in Marseilles in 2001. The new décor, almost completely outfitted in various shades of blue, was another step in redefining Cacharal worldwide, with the remainder of firm’s shops slated for renovation in 2001 and 2002.

Of her passion for Neurostar, Miss Lohan told Life & Style, “I drink so much of it — I love it. There are several kinds, including Neurogasm, which is for sex. But I don’t need that one right now unfortunately.”
