For the love of Tulle

I love the look and feel of tulle... especially back when Carrie Bradshaw made the tulle skirt a fashion trend! I found a few images from Pinterest that I had to share.  Would you see yourself wearing a tulle dress or skirt?

Jennifer Lopez for Harper's Bazaar US Feb 2013

Fendi dress, Tom Ford boots

On why she decided to quit Americal Idol: "I'm not a judge for a living. I'm a singer. I'm a dancer. I'm a performer. I'm an actress. That's what I'm supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person." As for the demented schedule, "I think I can just handle more than the average bear, you know?"

On her kids, Emme and Max: "They are used to being around a lot of people. They're open, happy, curious, smart, loving, affectionate."

On her boyfriend, Casper Smart: "He's fantastic; he's like my best friend. I can tell him everything, when I'm feeling down, when I'm feeling good. He gives moral support, endless love and support."

 

On her infamous 2000 Grammy Awards dress: “I have that at home. The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done. She sent me a picture. She was like, ‘You like this dress?’ Um, yeah, but I don’t know if I like it out in the house!”   

On keeping things simple: “I like the whole idea of traveling, of looking good, and doing it well. I make it as simple and as beautiful as I can because my life is kind of big. So I pack my luggage, or dress myself, or comb my kids’ hair, pick up their clothes—that makes our life beautiful, you know? There’s something very elegant in that.”

Blake Lively for Gucci Première Ad Campaign

Blake Lively is the new face of Gucci's fragrance Gucci Première named after the Italian house's haute couture line. This is the "Gossip Girl" regular's first scent campaign, though she posed for Chanel last year.  Here is the glamorous and fabulous ad campaign shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and director Nicolas Winding Refn in the historic Sheats Goldstein Residence, one of Beverly Hills's most famed and opulent locations with an unrivalled view across the city this was released on her facebook fan page.

In a stunning sequined backless gown, Blake Lively transforms the Hollywood glamour of the ’30s perfectly for Gucci’s new fragrance Première. A short film will be released in September during the Venice Film Festival.

Lively was the perfect choice to transport that glam retro-Hollywood look, don’t you think?

The perfume was launched worldwide Mid July.
