Lisa Marie Fernandez Neoprene Dresses

Lisa Marie Fernandez has brought her neoprene hotness to dresses. I like how she kept with the sporty flourishes she used on her swimwear as well. I give American Apparel until June to have these copied.

See more from Lisa Marie Fernandez on her site and get yours on Net-a-Porter.

LOOKING GOOD AT THE LOOK SHOW!

This season we were thrilled to join Look Magazine for the very first high street catwalk show at London Fashion Week, another ELITE EXCLUSIVE!

While the LFW schedules are already a fantastic showcase for the launching of the incredible young designers that work in the UK, we're really happy to see the high street and the public get a peek behind the industry's doors at last. After all with so many amazing LFW designers (Christopher Kane, Louise Goldin, Mary Katranzou, PPQ...) now designing for our everyday retailers it's only fair that the high street show what they can do too!

So in the middle of a manic fashion week, 23 fabulous Elite London girls took to the catwalk at the Saatchi Gallery to present the new collections from the brands that make the British high street the best in the world - Warehouse, Zara, ASOS, Reiss and French Conenction to name just a few. With an interval performance by Pixie Lott and the launch of the SAMSUNG DIVA ELITE MODEL LOOK 2010 as well, it was an action packed afternoon for Elite, and we couldn't be happier to be supporting a great new addition to the fashion calendar.

See this week's LOOK magazine for the 36-page special coverage of the Look Show, and go online at http://www.look.co.uk/ to see all the videos and pictures from the show

American Museum of Natural History: The Hall of Gems and Minerals

From our trip to the Museum of Natural History. My favorite exhibit was the Hall of Gems and Minerals (obviously). Not only were the gems amazingly beautiful, but the room that they are set in is hilariously out of date and the tags say things like the gems came from the USSR. My favorite new finds were the star sapphires and the petrified opal clams. I even love how the star sapphires are displayed. The largest of the stones was donated by J.P. Morgan. The petrified clams are so small and special. To my surprise, they're available on ebay and you bet I'm bidding on a few.

Marc Jacobs Dating Service, Tweet Me

The Marc Jacobs team drunk (?) tweeted a dinner from their trip to Korea. Sure the bikes in their new store are cute, but I think they're on to something offering up the MJ dudes as giveaways too. A sample of the tweets:

"Ok! Girls and boys this is Jeese! He is a very nice person!"
"This is Reese again. Were giving away a free prize. His name is jack. He's from latvia and available."
"Reese is single."

Tweet me...

MTV's The Hills in Comic Book Form

The Hills in Comic Book Form by Patrik Sandberg shows off the show in the way it was always meant to be seen.

"I've never seen LA loom more beautiful in a work of art. There are no movies that are as beautiful as that and there are certainly none that understand the beauty and the isolation of this city better." -Bret Easton Ellis, on MTV's The Hills
