What is the best part of being Madonna’s daughter?  Probably 100 things!!!  But this week it’s because you get to own your own clothing line!

Inspired by Lourdes,  Madonna has signed a deal this week to create MG Icon (which stands for Material Girl) to be launched in 200 Macy stores in August 2010.

This is just the start for Pop Icon Madonna. She wants to start in the junior brands and then work her way up.  Material Girl is fast-fashion junior collection that Lourdes will help design that will launch exclusively in August 2010 for the back-to-school season.  It will include footwear, handbags and jewellery and will retail from $12.00 to $40.00!

I wish my mom and I could dress like that!

Fidelity Denim Buying Tips Fashion Salad  (read full article)

Fidelity Denim dishes on fit, fabric and finish of jeans. Shelling out the “dough” on a great pair of jeans is arguably the most important purchase in a woman’s wardrobe. Think of enjoying a pair of jeans as you would a fine glass of wine….the color, the character and all the subtleties that make up something very special.

Celebrity lash-fever has spread all over the world. Madonna’s personal makeup artist Gina Brooke, who helped create the singer’s disco-inspired look, is credited with setting off a false eyelash frenzy by commissioning a pair of Shu Uemera mink lashes for Madonna.

Oprah ordered 200 pairs of the real fur lashes. Let’s not forget Madonna’s other commission fluttering 1.2 carats of diamonds at $10,000 a pair. The latest false eyelash creations of Mr. Shu Uemura are in dramatic colors and materials, such as feathers.

Shu Uemura launched Tokyo Lash Bars (or buy online) to gain access to exclusive designs that draw attention to your optical assets. Make-up using false eyelashes is regarded as "make-up with motion"- it gives dramatic impact with a bat of an eye. You wear different accessories to match your clothing, why not put on different false lashes to match your fashion? A fashion statement for your eyes.

P.S. I’ve also heard that Shu Uemera’s eye lash curler is "worth every blessed cent." Lucky mag calls it "revered."
