Has Jennifer Lopez Just Shot a US Vogue Cover?

On Friday Jennifer Lopez was spotted posing for a photo shoot in Miami [left]. At first it wasn't clear who the shoot was for, but yesterday Jen tweeted: "Lovely Saturday morning!! Hope everybody’s feeling good!! Headed to photo shoot for Vogue!! #highfashiontweet"

Fashion mission solved. Well, at least partially. There was no glimpse of Mario Testino on set (he shoots the majority of Vogue's covers) and there's also no word from Jen on whether or not she was shooting a cover story. But let's be realistic here - would J.Lo really accept anything other than the cover? I don't think so.

My guess is Vogue have shot Jennifer for May or June. She would be great for the annual "shape issue" in April, but I'm hoping that cover will go to Jennifer Lawrence, in time for The Hunger Games' March release. Ms Lopez's latest movie, What To Expect When You're Expecting, comes out at the beginning of May, so an early summer cover would be perfectly timed.

Jennifer last appeared on the cover of US Vogue in January 2005. Would you be pleased to see her on the cover of US Vogue this summer?

Beauty Update: Viktor & Rolf Launch "Spicebomb"

I'm sure many of you are big fans of Viktor & Rolf's iconic women's fragrance, Flowerbomb. Seven years after its release it still makes it into the bestselling fragrance charts, becoming a modern classic.

Now Viktor & Rolf have launched a menswear fragrance to keep Flowerbomb company. The debut men's scent, Spicebomb, is a powerful mixture of chilli, saffron, leather, tobacco, bergamot and grapefruit. That possibly sounds like a disgusting mixture, but I promise it's actually gorgeous. I usually prefer men's fragrances to women's, as they're less sugary, and I've started wearing Spicebomb myself.

On Wednesday night I somehow ended up in a deserted London car park with a selection of other Handpicked Media bloggers, where Viktor & Rolf staged a surprise explosion to celebrate the launch of Spicebomb. When the countdown hit zero a "spicebomb" went off, releasing confetti and the fragrance into the air. It was without a doubt the most original launch I've ever attended. If I manage to get video footage of the explosion (and the surprised screams) I'll share it.

The Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb ingredients

Spicebomb is currently exclusive to Harrods, but will be released nationally on March 7th. Prices start at £45 (for 50ml). Click HERE to buy. 

Do you wear Flowerbomb? Are you excited about the launch of Spicebomb?

Liv Tyler Covers Marie Claire UK March 2012

Liv Tyler covers the March 2012 issue of Marie Claire UK. The March issues are always the second largest editions of the year (after September, of course) so I'm looking forward to all the fabulous spring fashion content that will be coming our way over the next week or so.

Liv wears a look from the Prada Spring/Summer 2012 collection on the cover - a collection that has quickly become the most photographed of the season. Somehow I don't think this will be the last we'll see of Prada's candy coloured dresses either. An elegant pair of crystal-drop earrings completes her cover look.

Are you a fan of Liv Tyler's latest Marie Claire cover? Will you buy the March issue? And are you happy to see yet another Prada dress?

Shopper Bags Make a Comeback This Summer

Yesterday I spent the evening at My-Wardrobe HQ, where buying director Luisa De Paula introduced a select group of bloggers to the Spring/Summer 2012 trends they've bought into. One of the key accessory looks Luisa is really excited about this season is the return of the shopper bag. They tie in perfectly with the sportswear influences that are going to be huge for spring and their clean lines and bold colours are refreshing and fun.

On the high street Dorothy Perkins has a surprisingly good selection at the moment, and once Zara's end-of-season-sale stock clears there should be plenty of chic shoppers on offer. If you're looking for a hard-wearing investment buy though I'm all for the Michael Michael Kors jet set tote [below], which comes in both tan and black. It's such a classic design.

BEST OVER £100: Reed Krakoff python-print tote, £455 (US $540); Diane Von Furstenberg bucket tote, £725; Michael Michael Kors jet set tote, £170; Proenza Schouler python-effect tote, £795 (US $1,175)

BEST UNDER £100: Dorothy Perkins black and green bag, £19.50; Topshop cream shopper bag, £38; Dorothy Perkins zebra print bag, £25; Topshop tropical print shopper, £14

Are you pleased to see the shopper bag return for Spring/Summer 2012? Will you be carrying one this season? And if so what style will you be going for?

Christina Ricci Covers Oyster Magazine

I've never read Oyster magazine before and if I'm honest I've never really felt the urge to either, but I'm loving the February/March 2012 cover featuring Christina Ricci in a Dolce & Gabbana dress. Christina is still one of the most interesting actresses in terms of editorials, as she has such a unique look, and although this squinty-eye pose is kind of awkward I think it works well. Do you like Christina's Oyster magazine cover too? See her editorial HERE.

Oh, and by the way, she's really small. Most random pull-quote ever? I think so...
