After a grueling nail biting game Spain finally scored against the Netherlands! We’ve featured the Minx version of flags, however Klairdelys, who has quite a fan base , demonstrates  flag tips that are too cool to ignore. Viva Espana!

Courtesy of Karl Hab here  is a look at  Olympia Le- Tan’s latest collection of book-inspired handbags and clutches motivated as always by some of her favorite novels.  A closer look at her fun creations  on the next page.

At Highsnobette we don’t advocate violence, however any label that  features an item called “The Knockout” needs to be mentioned because it acknowledges the desire to administer the aforementioned knockout. Anger and frustration are natural feelings, not that you need to act  on them. I found Seril a couple years back at a tradeshow and fell in love with their aesthetic:  sleek, street and tough at the same time. Available at Seril.  Happy Monday!

The show opens with a stunning on piece bathing suit and pretty much continues throughout with the kind of swimwear that is almost too pretty to get wet. Enjoy Guillermina Baeza  Spring/Summer 2010 swimwear collection.

Kelis had her “Flesh Tone” album release party last night in New York and she was looking relaxed and summery. Was chatting the other night about some of the p.r. missteps she’s made over the past year or so….not sure she needs to be positioning herself as the anti-PETA spokesperson, for example, but whatever the case may be will always be Team Kelis.

More images after the flip, including Kelis’s multi-colored French mani.

As our minds can only focus  of the beach and fun in the sun, take a look at the very cool Pre-Fall 2010 Collection by Steve Dumain of Be&D  featuring  his  sleek interpretation of lux classics. On the next page a closer look at our  faves. Available here.

If you’re a true Chanelphile your heart might stop at the sight of the  plethora of Chanel shopping bags in this film, which firmly tap into the aspirational appeal of the brand. Via Fashioncopious.

We confess to not  being stalkerish about models and celebs when they are out and about. However, when  we caught a  very rare appearance  of model Stacey Mckenzie in New York this past weekend we had to take a few shots and Ms. Mckenzie kindly agreed to strike a pose. More pictures on the flip.

Ready to wear is great, but couture, couture is where the magic of fashion in all its grandeur of creativity, design and craftsmanship really lies. Riccardo Tisci proves not only his talent but also his respect of the tradition for the house of Givenchy with a modernist take on  embroidery featuring skeleton shapes and even the inclusion of leather jackets. Stunning! More images on the next page via Style.
