Get struck with love with this bikini, "Cupid".

Ten years ago Lisa discovered her inspiration for her swimwear line, not just to make women look and feel beautiful but to make a difference. Lisa Burke is from Byron Bay,  Australia and made it one of her sole purposes to travel to Tonga to swim with humpback whales. She got the incredible chance to come face to face with a mother whale and its baby and during this moment Lisa made a promise to forever protect these beautiful animals.

Keeping her promise Lisa has created Lisa Blue,  25% of the profit for Lisa Blue is donated towards helping protect the whales and dolphins, through the Australian Whale Conservation Society.  Lisa has created a line of swimwear that brings confidence, beauty and environmentally awareness all at the same time.

Also added to many pieces in the collection is the whale’s tail charm located on the top piece, a unique accent. The charm clips off, so you can add it to your jewelry collection as well.

Beautiful TACORI diamond pieces were seen all over Los Angeles this weekend at not just the EMMYs, but also at pre-EMMY parties. Celebrities like Betsy Brandt, Amanda Righetti, and Autumn Reeser all looked fabulous in their TACORI jewelry.

EMMY Red Carpet Coverage: Up Dos Stole The Show – Find Out How To Get Anna Paquin’s Hairstyle

Check out our coverage of 61st EMMY jewelry looks here.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer arrives for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday, Aug. 29, 2010, in Los Angeles. Anna's on trend with the gold and black pairing. Alexander McQueen dress.

The 62nd Primetime EMMY Awards Show hosted by the amazingly talented and funny host Jimmy Fallon brought Hollywood out in full force.  And while Fallon did a great job entertaining the crowd with his guitar, we here at Style Seen Daily couldn’t help but notice the trend in up do fashions, highlighting the neck.  Celebrities like Anna Paquin, Christina Hendricks, Heidi Klum and more all rocked the red carpet with their hair pulled back.

How To Get Anna Paquin’s Hairstyle

When it came to creating an Emmys hairstyle for Anna Paquin, stylist Renato Campora knew just where to look for inspiration: her Alexander McQueen gown. “The dress is very strong, and I wanted to show off her shoulders and neck,” he explains. “I didn’t want her hair to seem too severe, so I created a loose structure.”

First, Renato worked the lightweight Frédéric Fekkai Full Volume Mousse through Anna’s damp hair. To keep her hair smooth and prevent flyaways, he worked in Fekkai Silky Straight Smooth Finish serum before blow-drying hair. Try Frédéric Fekkai Coiff Contrôle – Ironless Straightening Balm and instead of using a brush, use your fingers.

When Anna’s hair was dry, Renato used a curling iron with a ½-inch barrel to create waves, then pinned the hair to let the curls set for 15 minutes. Then, he ran his fingers through the underside of her hair, pulled her hair back and created a French twist. He created a bit of volume at the top of Anna’s hair by gently pushing it with his hands, then securing it with bobby pins. Finally, he sprayed hair with Frédéric Fekkai Coiff Fini – Sheer Hold Hairspray. “It’s a modern, soft look,” Renato says.

Take a look at our Style Seen Daily’s picks of our favorite ladies hair styles, highlighting the neck and shoulders.

Style Seen Daily friend Jessica Lowndes of The CW’s hit series 90210 attended the Audi and Chopard Pre-Emmy event in Los Angeles on August 22, 2010 in a sexy throwback to the 50′s with a modern twist look.  We really liked her  Matthew Williamson Resort 2011 brown and gold printed dress.

Matthew Williamson’s designs are always inspired by his travels to around the world, and this collection is no exception. The Resort 2011 collection features Williamson’s structured silhouettes with exotic prints on every piece. The plunging neckline and pleated skirt of Jessica’s dress gave it a sexy yet sophisticated feel, and was reminiscent of styles from Mad Men.

We like how Jessica completed the look with a  pair of  chocolate-colored, snake print Stuart Weitzman Lille peep-toe heels. Stuart Wietzman’s creative designs have been known to walk the red carpet, specifically by offering a “one-of-a-kind” shoe to one celebrity to wear on Oscar night. Look for exotic prints and animal prints to be a hot trend in shoes this fall.

Ali Fedotowsky of "The Bachelorette" in THE SHOE by JOE'S and a Susie Rose dress.

Celebrities are flocking to JOE’S Jeans, for more than just jeans, to fill their closets. Although the name may be deceiving, the brand actually offers a variety of products for men and women ranging from t-shirts and blouses to jeans, and even shoes. JOE’S is becoming an ever popular company among many fashionable celebrities such as Audriana Patridge, Rachel Bilson, and Blake Lively.

Ali Fedotowsky, of  The Bachelorette, was recently seen out and about in Los Angeles wearing THE SHOE by JOE’S.  This shoe is great because it’s versatile and can be worn with a daytime look, like Ali’s, or even worn with a pair of JOE’s Jean Leggings as part of an evening look. We really liked how Ali paired the cognac wedges with a Susie Rose dress, sold in Wal-Mart stores, that costs only $14.

The O.C’s Rachel Bilson wore The Shirt by JOE’S while out with a friend in Beverly Hills. Although this shirt is from the men’s collection, she makes it work for both sexes. The popular relaxed fit, red and navy plaid shirt was paired with a pair of leggings, t-shirt, and a scarf to complete Rachel’s effortless look.

Audrina Patridge of The Hills looked chic in The Jean Legging by JOE’S while out with friends in Hollywood.

Each changing season offers the perfect segue to reinvent your look, and these bold silhouettes are prime picks for dipping your toe in something daring and staying stylish during the transition from summer to autumn. Key to the look: pair them with heels or a kickin’ pair of ankle boots.

It’s a win/win style situation. You will never want to take off the Joe’s Jeans pair from Bloomingdale’s at Santa Monica Place ($128).

Cuban-inspired swimwear by Nicolita.

Nicolita Swimwear steamed up the runway during Mercedes- Benz Fashion Week Swim 2011 in Miami earlier this month. Nicole Di Rocco, the designer of the collection, draws from her family’s Cuban roots to create an exotic and sexy collection that is ideal for the ‘curvy-bottomed’ woman.

Fiery Latino model walks the Nicolita runway.

The silhouettes and prints in the collection also draw inspiration from the 1940′s era. Some pieces feature vintage prints, such as Cuban taxi-cabs and cigars. The collection is a combination of 1940s glamour mixed with modern-day silhouettes to create a fun, yet sophisticated look.

Retro-inspired bikini.

Nicolita’s signature “Cuban-style bottoms” make an appearance again with a heart-shape designed bottom and a ‘no-pinch’ fit in the elastic, which provides more coverage for a curvaceous figure. The collection features a mixture of prints from polka dots, solids, stripes, and graphic prints.

Nicolita Swimwear One-piece.

Many of the polka dotted prints are in very warm and fun colors, like red and yellow. Although retro is the main focus of the collection, there are also some pieces that feature more modern, softer silhouettes in a range of cooler colors, such as sage green and blue.

Metallic bikini, Nicolita Swimwear.

Some bikinis feature rope-string ties, where the typical bikini ties are, which add more texture and dimension to the pieces. Di Rocco also used metallic fabrics on several of the pieces in the collection. The metallic pieces were paired with more muted pieces, which downplayed the shine and kept with the sophisticated, sexy look of the Nicolita.

Curvaceous model in Nicolita Swimwear.

The models in the Nicolita show truly exemplified the curvaceous and conservatively sexy feel of the line. Unlike many runways, Nicolita’s didn’t feature the average runway model. Instead, Di Rocco selected models that were exotic and real, which helped to bring Di Rocco’s vision for her collection to life.

Nicolita Swimwear Designer, Nicole Di Rocco.

Nicolita Swimwear has been established since 2003 and every year  Nicole Di Rocco continues to build her brand of Cuban swimwear. Di Rocco created the line to bring her family’s Cuban heritage to life through fashion. Nicolita has set itself apart in the swimwear industry by blending Di Rocco’s Cuban heritage, glamour from the 1940s, and modern-day silhouettes and fashions. Di Rocco always focuses on designing for the curvaceous Latino figure, which has made Nicolita the brand it is today.
