The rumours were right! Daisy Lowe is the new face of Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2010 campaign, designed by Takashi Murakami. Named 'Cosmic Blossom' the iconic Monogram print has been updated in a colourful smiley flower face motif. The collection is available in three shades of leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories. While the motifs also appear in T-shirts and scarves, bandanas, swimwear and shoes. What do you think of Daisy's ads for LV?
While many of us freeze our tooshes off for the holidays, many celebs are out of town sunning themselves in tropical destinations, humph! One of those stars is Sienna Miller, who is currently in Barbados after recently reuniting with her former flame Jude Law. The British actress/designer donned a cute gingham bikini by Agent Provocateur also worn by Kate Moss earlier this year. Like it? You can order the red and white 'Kerry' with contrasting denim online - £90 for the top and £55 for the bottoms.

2009 hasn't exactly been Jessica Simpson's year, but nevertheless the diva/actress is forging ahead with her expanding brand. And while swimwear may be the furtherest thing from our minds right now in these chilly conditions, you may be interested to learn that Jess has a new swimwear range ready to launch.
Described as "flirty and fun", her new collection is in conjunction with designer, Red Carter, and is inspired by Jess's favourite holiday locations. Each separate retails for $40-$50 each and $80-$100 for a suit.
Breathe a sigh of relief (and stop holding in your stomach): the swimsuit is back in vogue. Promising to nip, tuck and lift you in all right places, Speedo's new range of cossies for Autumn/Winter will make it even easier to relax by the pool on your holidays.

Summer just got a whole lot more appealing with the news that Giles Deacon is (finally) adding a beachwear line to his Gold label for New Look.
And his inspiration? Why the glitterati that sun themselves by LA's luxury pools, of course.
"It was all designed while on a research trip to Los Angeles - by the pool at the Chateau Marmont," he told Vogue. "For me it's not so much Eighties-inspired but more a mix of clean lines and graphic boldness with a touch of playfulness."
Hmm, "research trip" indeed! The range of bikinis, swimsuits, beach bags, kaftans and flip flops is in store now, and via New Look's website from next week.
In other brief Giles news, he will also be presenting a selection of his favourite designer creations at the V&A Museum on 17th July as part of Fashion in Motion - read more here.
Seriously, have you seen this swimsuit?
Now that the awful exchange rate puts Esther Williams swimsuits out of my financial league, I have been on the hunt for a decent alternative in the UK. And lo and behold, Oli.co.uk have delivered the goods with this amazing cossie for only £30.
Except they didn't deliver the goods. Oh no. they simply taunt me with the beauty, while I twiddle my fingers and dream of days poolside dressed like a pin-up girl. And as friendly as the customer services rep sounded, she couldn't explain why it's late, she couldn't explain why (after a missing 'am' note and an angry phone call from a courier) I have the free gift, but not the actual order. She couldn't even really tell me when I'm going to get it.
So if you're thinking of ordering it, just be ready to wait...I'm hoping it's going to be worth it!
Did you know Tara Reid had a swimwear/clothing line called 'Mantra by Tara Reid'?

Question is: would you wear it?!
