At the Fall 2009 Chanel show yesterday in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld, who is known for his quirky accessories (who could forget the faux-shopping bag handbags from last season), sent tightly sealed plastic cases down the runway filled with an assortment of goodies from the design house. Among the viewable contents were lipstick, wallet, sunglasses, perfume, LagerPod, compact, and the famed quilted purse known as the 2.55.

It's not often that something hits the beauty market that's entirely new, but if I'm not mistaken, Dove's HairMinimising deodorant is the first product of it's type. I've used hair minimising lotions before, but this new product - in both spray and roll-on varieties - is a new one on me. Relying on what's described as 'Pro-Epil Complex' to help reduce the appearance of hair above the skin's surface, daily use of the deodorant will result in underarms that feel hair free for longer.

Debuting a rejuvenated new look overseas, Katie Holmes looked positively radiant at the Tokyo premiere of Valkyrie on March 11. Doesn’t it seem like Tom’s world press tour is never gonna end? First and foremost, Katie’s glossy new extensions are gorgeous. Love the side bangs and the added volume, and the new look couldn’t have come at a better time – let’s face it, the bob was looking a little drab and dated. For the red carpet, Katie chose a colorblock dress by Jason Wu with a blazing red skirt and fuchsia geometric print bodice (try similarly dramatic looks like Black Halo’s Boatneck.

Most lines stay away from using it in their warm-weather lines, saving it instead for winter when its tactile nature is more welcomed by most people. But Jimmy Choo? Jimmy Choo does not listen to your silly fabric rules. If they want to make a spring bag out of suede, then that’s exactly what they’ll do! As a result, we present the Jimmy Choo Monna Large Tote. And despite the fact that suede and summer seem like an unlikely duo, I think the combo totally works here.
