Chelsea Clinton Wedding Gown Watch: Former First Daughter to Wear Vera Wang
Chelsea Clinton’s wedding speculation has become somewhat of a national pastime. And with the wedding just days away, new details on the former First Daughter’s nuptials are fast emerging. Though many expected the bride to wear Oscar de la Renta, it appears Chelsea will walk down the aisle in a Vera Wang wedding gown. She was spotted entering Wang’s building on West 39th Street yesterday in full makeup and a glam up-do. Wang is also rumored to have designed the dresses for the bridesmaids and flower girls. De la Renta is not without his wedding credits, the iconic designer has created a gown for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who now goes by MOTB (short for mother of the bride). And now the world awaits the first photos of the bride.

Model Miami Moments
The bikini clad models at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim are surprisingly less intimidating than their catwalk counterparts who work it in New York, Milan, and Paris. The gals who strut their stuff in Miami have larger chests, bigger behinds and fuller figures than the pin thins we’re used to. But the models who serve as Miami’s unofficial swim week celebs are easily among the world’s most enviable. Hilary Rhoda, who was in town to shoot segments for Modelinia.com, hung out at The Raleigh where she stayed for the week. The face of Estee Lauder stopped by the iconic hotel’s penthouse to support the Luxe by Lisa Vogel collection, proceeds from which will benefit Oceana. It’s important to understand the ocean food chain and how disrupting that balance affects our world,” said Vogel, who was particularly pleased with Rhoda’s presence. “I want my children to enjoy the ocean and aquatic life as much as I did growing up.” Tori Praver attended the swim shows to promote her own line of bathing suits, but that didn’t stop the stunning blond from cheering on Mara Hoffman and partying at the Quicksilver bash. Irina Shayk, who graces this month’s Ocean Drive cover, celebrated the latest issue atop the Gansevoort. Expect to see more of Shayk in a variety of designer bikinis. Perhaps there’s even a swimsuit line in her future. Stay tuned…
60s Fashion Flare
The long full skirt of the 60s is making a comeback just in time for fall. It’s no coincidence that this nostalgic trend coincides with the ever growing popularity of Mad Men, television’s favorite period drama. Chaneling Betty Draper, the full silhouette of the skirts nips in at the waist, emphasizing those curves. Using heavier materials like wool blends, Louis Vuitton and Prada both graced their fall 2010 runways with this beautifully feminine aesthetic. The fashionably long hemlines and thick material of the skirts make them a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. ~Daniella Asantewaa
