Anna Wintour will be profiled on “Bloomberg Game Changers,” at 8pm est tonight. Interesting how Wintour has been spending a lot more energy raising her profile it seems ever since The Devil Wore Prada. Perhaps she looked around the landscape and concluded that being a celebrity is a part of doing business these days. If you want to watch, it’s being shown on Bloomberg Televsion, which, as much reality TV, basketball games and various and sundry other junk I watch, can’t say that channel rings any bell so good luck with that. To be honest, based on the preview it doesn’t look all that juicy, with canned comments like, “Anna is the single most influential person in the world of fashion, etc, blah blah.” A lot of people mindlessly repeat that line, but really? Is she? She’s the editor of one magazine that receives very mixed reviews in the fashion world so I’m not so sure that’s accurate. Via Racked.
Not too many vinyl toys are designed to speak to women (though granted, some end up talking to us anyone), but Tokidoki’s “Unicorno” set is clearly made with the ladies in mind. I mean, horseys on their own with their long flowing manes and big powerful snorting heads are amazing and awe inspiring, but a pastel-colored unicorn with (presumably) magical powers that flies AND has a giant horn growing out of its head?? We die of orgasmic overdose. This set includes 10 different figures, priced at $6.95 and launches April 22nd. For more details and close-ups on the unicorns, visit Todokowai.
There have been sneak peeks of Jesse Jo Stark’s collabo with Vans and here is a video giving a look into the life of the California-born designer and singer.

Building on its coquettish appeal, Miu Miu offers its fans charm-sized accessories, modeled after its most popular bag silhoutettes. Not sure if they’re functional or not, though irregardless, how cute these would be hooked on a belt loop! More on the next page. Images courtesy of Miu Miu.
Some little Marc by Marc creations are so well put together you cannot resist them. The wanna-be-hard-edge fashion fiend I claim to be wants to resist the bright colored polka dots, as minnie mouse too cute, however, the functionality wins. Gotta soften up sometimes right?

Urban Decay neatly manages to capture just about every hot polish trend for Summer 2011 with its “Rollergirl” nail kit, hitting flourescents, sparkles, and neutrals. The best part is the mini-bottles, because really, who ever uses up an entire of bottle of polish? You can purchase these in April at Urbandecay and Macy’s. For more details visit Temptalia, which does it usual meticulous job of reviewing the product.
One of my all time favorite books as a little girl was Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s “Le petit Petit Prince “or ” The Little Prince”, having read it again and again as an adult I’m continually inspired by the depth and poetry of this story which has become universal.Translated in over 190 languages and has sold 80 million copies worldwide.In honor of the famous literary work Moleskin created a capsule collection of notebooksfeaturing:
“A customized cover, paper band and inside cover with art from the book. Small details capture the magic and idealism of the story. A custom “In case of loss” message reads “In case of loss, return to planet…” and “As a reward, my secret about…”.
Each Le Petit Prince special edition comes with a cut out scene from the story tucked away in the rear notebook pocket. The pocket size notebook includes a globe-shaped cut-out of the Prince enjoying a “perpetual sunset” on his home planet. The large size notebook includes a 3D landscape where the Prince meets the fox and tames him.

A cute video of Katy Perry for Adidas as part of its “All In” ad campaign, in which the pop star bats those big doll eyes of hers and chats about what inspires her. She also mentions her favorite designers, which, no shocker, one of them is Jeremy Scott who is part of the campaign, too.

Levi’s staged a presentation of their Autumn 2011 men’s and women’s collection in a fun setting last night, allowing the ease and the comfort of the be apparel to be expressed. The presentation was complemented by an appearance by performance artist the Bumbys who unapologetically typed their thoughts on the attendees looks (That was fun).
