Never has color been more bolder than these past two years. Neutral colors were the rage but not anymore. Bolder colors like luminous, brighter shades of the secondary colors have been in the fashion world creating a buzz. The secret to blending colors is to choose color that goes well with your skin tone, hair type and color and even the kind of accessories that you choose to wear. The brighter the colors the more the statement you are making.
Mix and match until you find the color blends that most define who you are and what kind of mood you are in, where you are going and even the kind of people you want to impress.
Do not be afraid to try colors that seem too bright. If one or two bold colors is too much for you, then a single accessory like a necklace or even bracelet of a bright color will make a difference to an otherwise boring look.
Two colors that have a way of blending into each other are black and yellow, not surprisingly because black goes with anything and yellow is the new black for 2012.

Rise of the Man Purse Lil Wayne recently appeared at a basketball game carrying a Louis Vuitton murse. Seen on stars from Jude Law to Jay-Z, and on the Burberry runway, the man-bag is having its moment. By Isabel Wilkinson.

When Lil Wayne appeared courtside at Game 3 of the WNBA finals last week, he looked appropriately badass in a pair of cutoff denim shorts, an oversized Jersey, and a million-dollar sneer. But then, as he cheered on his team, we saw it: there, hanging from his belt, was a small Louis Vuitton pouch, no larger than his palm. Maybe it held his business cards, Kleenex or his house keys, but one thing was for sure—it was a murse.

Once a niche fashion item, the man purse also known as a man bag, crossbody, or messenger bag has evolved into an everyday essential for the modern man. No longer just functional, today’s man bags are fashion-forward, stylish, and perfectly practical for work, travel, or leisure. But knowing how to carry a man bag confidently is just as important as choosing the right one.

 The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an annual fashion show sponsored by Victoria's Secret, a brand of lingerie and sleepwear. Victoria's Secret uses the show to promote and market its goods in high-profile settings. The show features some of the world's leading fashion models such as current Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Chanel Iman, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge, and Lindsay Ellingson.

American network television broadcasts the show during prime time. The first few shows in the 1990s were held in the days preceding Valentine's Day to promote the brand for this holiday. They were not aired on national television. In 1999 and 2000 the show was webcast. Beginning in 2001, the shows were moved ahead of the Christmas holiday season. Also in 2001, the show made its network television broadcast on ABC, though in all subsequent years, it has been broadcast on CBS.

Gisele Bundchen is the highest-earning model in the world.

The Brazilian beauty has topped the list compiled by Forbes.com for the third year running after making an impressive $US25 million ($31 million) from June 2008 to June 2009.

Despite raking in a fortune, Gisele - who married American football star Tom Brady in February - has been hit by the global economic crisis, making $US10 million ($12 million) less than in the previous financial year.

However, the 28-year-old catwalk queen still has lucrative campaigns with Versace, Dior, True Religion jeans and Ebel watches. She also has her own successful shoe line.

Faena sold the chain in the year 2000, after which he relocated to the resort city of Punta del Este, Uruguay.

This association, in turn, secured the interest of New York-based Russian developer Len Blavatnik, who made US$100 million available for the development of the "Faena Arts District."
