As it goes with most of Bond's attire, if you want to look like a secret agent for spring break, you're going to have to pony up like you've got an MI6 expense account.

The Smurfs Get Their Own Makeup Line

Filed under: Style in the News

too faced smurf makeup collectionAs far back as we can remember, we have always been fans of the Smurfs. When we were making our way through elementary school, no homework was ever completed until we could watch at least thirty minutes of the Smurfs on television. And as adults, we've been known to sport vintage tees with the little blue creatures emblazoned on the front of them as well.

Filed under: Shoes

Reebok pumps retroAs part of their attempt to launch themselves back out of their longtime fashion irrelevance, Reebok has opened a temporary 'pop-up store' in Manhattan named "Flash" -- how appropriate. The insta-store, only open for one month, is located at 169 Bowery and will be Reebok's outlet for top secret, limited edition styles that not even the savviest of sneaker insider has ever laid eyes on. Is Reebok actually onto something here?

Michael Stipe launches a line of shirts for Lacoste - Celebrity designers

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

As you've probably noticed, we're all about celebrity designers here at Style List, but somehow we never have very high expectations for their output. The latest collaboration between REM's Michael Stipe and classic high-end designer Lacoste is no exception. According to Rolling Stone, Stipe has put his creative touch on a new line of Lacoste's alligator-encrusted tennis shirts, and they're uhh -- how should we put this -- a little fugly unique.

Limited edition Swarovski trunks for those who want to be hated

Filed under: Accessories

Samsonite plus SwarovskiEvery once in a while, a product so outrageously extravagant and loud comes out that it boggles the mind that anyone would purchase it, braving the fiery death glares that they will surely face from strangers. A team-up between Samsonite and Swarovski have come up with such a product... Behold, the Samsonite Black Label trunk, covered in crystals and -- get this -- only 30 are in existence. Now, this thing is massive, so there's no way to subtly flash it like it's darling diamond earrings hiding under your hair until you pull it up. This thing is immediately and absolutely in-your-face and begging to be kicked over and smashed in a jealous rampage.

The Katie Perry doll

Filed under: Style in the News

Lookout Malibu Barbie, you may have some fierce competition for Ken's heart coming your way.

Katy Perry, you know, the girl who sings about kissing other girls and likes to wear tons of retro duds, well, she is being immortalized in the form of a doll. Donning a ivory shift dress, over-sized belt, black pantyhose, and bright red lips, the doll will retail for $49.99 and looks a lot like the doll in Perry's music video for U.R. So Gay.

The mini Perry dolls will be sold in a limited number of 500. Of that, the singer's record label, Capital Music Group, will be distributing 150 of the plastic figurines to "tastemakers, media and other interested parties." The dolls are expected to sell-out within one to two days of their release. So if you're interested, keep your eyes and ears peeled.

CamelBak BPA-free reusable bottles

Filed under: Accessories, Green Fashion

Like our friends Kyle at Green Daily and Kristen at That's Fit, we were lucky enough to get to try the new CamelBak BPA-free Better Bottles.

In the past we've tried to get into the reusable bottle thing, but for one reason or another -- the creepy feeling of drinking out of a metal bottle, the giant drippy mouth of some of those plastic bottles, plus the shaggy, hemp-scented aura of having something from a camping supply store on our desk -- we just never got into it.

We are pleased to admit that the CamelBak bottle changed us.

Confirmed: Pheobe Philo for Celine!

Filed under: Style in the News

Good-bye Gap and hello Celine!

Pheobe Philo is clawing back to get into high fashion no more. The former Chloé creative director has just been given the job of design head at LVMH's Celine brand.

On her new job, Philo says: "I can't wait to step back into the studio and begin creating designs which will reinvigorate the brand, get customers excited about the product and work with a team that are incredibly serious and passionate about their work."

As was mentioned earlier, Philo had been keeping busy with a "secret" job designing for Gap's European operation. Le sigh. Those limited-edition collections will never be the same without her. Au revoir.

Crazy cravings: Shiseido Dick Page summer collection kit at Sephora

Filed under: Cosmetics


Maybe it's the magic words "limited edition" or that it has the word "summer" in the name, but we're totally having to fight the urge to spend $126 on this Shiseido make up kit.

Shiseido Artistic Director Dick Page put this palette together, and the description on Sephora.com is filled with glowy-this and shimmery-that. Plus the kit comes with blotting papers. And directions! So much neat new stuff to play with.

Be okay, we must admit that the yellow and green eyeshadows would probably look kind of scary on most people, including us.

Plus, we're pretty sure we can pick up bronzer, mascara, lipstick and a couple of kooky colored eyeshadows down at Walgreens for under $30. It wouldn't come in a neat-o case, but it might get us out of these early summer make up doldrums, and save $100.

T-shirts that give you the munchies by Ucon

Filed under: Clothing


Can your favorite snacks be a fashion statement? We think so. Usually, we see limited edition t-shirts as just a gimmick, but when you put donuts, watermelon, or popsicles on them -- what you've got is a really awesome gimmick. And that we do like.

A German skate wear company called Ucon has released 3 delicious t-shirt designs that we think could have mass appeal -- except for the fact that they've only produced 100 of each. Too bad, great gimmicks like this are the way that small, sport-specific clothing companies become Volcoms or Hurleys.

Still, who doesn't want to show their love for popsicles on a hot summer day? We think snack food has some definite aesthetic appeal.

Chichi vs. simple: Mascara

Filed under: Cosmetics


It's time again to replace our mascara, and once again we are struggling with the decision: drugstore or luxury?

Today's choice is between a return to the reliable and affordable Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black, under $5 everywhere, or upping the ante with a trip to Sephora for Dior Show Black Out Limited Edition, almost five times as expensive at $24?

Everyone knows that you should put out as much as you're comfortable spending on high quality base/concealer/face make up. But mascara is open to discussion. Some experts say buy cheap and often, others say that the only way to avoid Liza-like raccoon eyes (assuming you're not going for that look -- sometimes we are) is to splurge on a big name.

Which way do you sway?

Chichi or simple mascara?
