First Store Opening for the Luxury Brand Designer Louis Vuitton in Lebanon



Even the Prime Minister attended the opening. 'Nuff said.




Louis Vuitton opened its first store in the Lebanese capital Beirut. 


"For many years, the maison has maintained strong relations with Lebanese clientele and is proud to reiterate its engagement by offering a new store which respects the Beirutis' heritage and patrimony," said a spokesperson for the French luxury label. 


A city that has produced the likes of Elie Saab, Basil Soda and Reem Acra is no stranger to high fashion, further evidenced by the presence of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri at the event.

The Perfect Outfit: Kirsten Dunst's Kickass Cocktail Look

By: Taylor Starr

kirsten-dunst-perfect-outfit.jpg

We've said it before, but it's worth repeating: A little black dress should never be a cop-out. Kirsten Dunst reaffirmed our belief that LBDs can be at once timeless and fashion-forward when she showed up to the New York premiere of "All Good Things" at SVA Theater on Wednesday evening donning a perfectly prim Valentino number. The devil's in the details when you decide to go all black everything, as Dunst 's dress proves with its intricate lace fabric and ruffled 3/4 length sleeves. Paired with black suede python lace-up sandals, and we're simply slayed by the chicness of it all. And since you likely already own a similar lace dress and black opaque tights, all you need are a few solid accessories to copy this cocktail look all on your own.

Essential #1: Lace dress—while we may be vying for that Valentino, there are tons of little lace frocks for less that'll definitely do the trick. We're particularly fond of this Alice by Temperley piece.
Alice by Temperley Lace Shift Dress, $404.25, available at MyWardrobe.com

Essential #2: Chandelier Earrings—We instantly feel super glam when we're rocking a pair of fabulous chandelier earrings, and this accessory goes a long way in amping up this outfit.
Juicy Couture Baguette Chandelier Earrings, $69, available at Juicy Couture, 456 North Rodeo Drive (Between Santa Monica Blvd and Brighton Way); 310-550-0736.

Essential #3: Python Heels—Snake-skin and lace? Yes and yes. It's Kirsten's Nicholas Kirkwood kicks that truly put the pow in this perfect outfit. Try on these Pour La Victoire sandals for size—and less than half the price! Pour La Victoire Whipsnake Cutout Sandals, $285, available at Barneys, 9600 Wilshire Boulevard (between S. Rodeo and S. El Camino Drive); 310-275-4211.

Metallic Makeup to go with The Look of the Week for the Holidays!

Eyes: A light wash of metallic eyeshadow gives a foolproof, elegant glow but layered on luster really gets the party started.

Above, from left: Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow in Shade 15, $32, available at Giorgioarmanibeauty; Givenchy Le Prisme Unique Eyeshadow in Vintage Silver, $29, available at Sephora; Liu Wen via Estee Lauder; Sephora Glitter Lashes, $5, available at Sephora.
Metallic makeup has revved it's shine-infused engine into a fever pitch this year, making full metal a full-force trend. Blame it on the spring runways, where models at Prada sported creamy silver eyeshadow from lid to brow, Rodarte went the gilded routed with gold lips and lashes, and designers like Thakoon and Vera Wang added a subtle metal-flecked glow to cheeks. Now pair spring's luster with holiday makeup collections packed with mixed metals and we've got an updated spin on the metallic theme. So if you're ready to get lit over the holidays—by gold, silver, and bronze makeup, of course—then trade up your everyday products for something with a reflective kick.
 
 
 
Lips: Sheer gold and silver glosses can be worn alone or add a reflective punch to any lip color, or pick up a shade with metallic shine. For a more opaque look, brush a high-pigment shadow onto the lips.

Above, from left: Rodarte spring '11; MAC A Tartan Tale Pigment in The Family Crest, $19.50, available at MAC; Chanel Glossimer in Pleasing, $27, available at Chanel; CoverGirl Shine Blast Lip Gloss in Flare, $7.44, available at Target; DuWop Venom Flash in Silver, $17, available at Sephora.
