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. We liked the One-Of-a-Kind necklace and bracelet that Betsy Brandt of the TV series ‘Breaking Bad’ was spotted wearing on the red carpet at the EMMYs. The white diamond pieces were paired with TACORI Dantela studs to complete her elegant look.

Actress Amanda Righetti was spotted looking stunning in TACORI yellow gold and diamond earrings to The Art of Elysium’s Second Annual Genesis Event. We especially love how ‘The Mentalist’ actress complemented the earrings, from the Alfeuress collection, with her updo hairstyle. Whitney Port from MTV’s ‘The City’ was also seen wearing TACORI earrings this weekend. Her diamond earrings, which she wored to the Reality Cares Achievement Awards, were from the Crescent Silhouette Collection.

Style Seen Daily also spotted ‘Entourage’ actress Autumn Reester at the Entertainment Weekly and Women in Film Pre-EMMY Party sparkling in TACORI jewelry. We like the art-deco style rings, from the Crescent Silhouette collection, that Autumn is wearing and how she paired them with a bracelet from the TACORI Afleuress collection.

Bosworth, Bailey & Williams

Christopher Bailey is Chief Creative Director of Burberry, responsible for the brands image including all advertising, corporate art direction, store design of all 100+ retail locations and visuals, as well as design of all product lines and collections.  154 years ago, when Burberry was born, they become famous for making the trenchcoat more fashionable than ever before, and now, after dominating the fashion scene for longer than any of us reading this have been alive, there is a new launch, Burberry Beauty.

Burberry Beauty Products

Bailey, who is credited for transforming Burberry into a billion-dollar global powerhouse, and decided it was time to develop and launch the brands first make up collection.  In celebration of the launch, Baliey traveled to New York, San Francisco, and our home town Los Angeles – where we were fortunate to meet up with him at the former home of Tom Cruise in Bel Air – thanks to our amazing friend Lauryn Flynn, Director of VIP & Music Relations at Burberry.

Burberry Beauty Launch - Tea in Bel Air

Bailey hosted the Brit-inspired tea party in the private garden poolside, and the dining room became a cosmetics counter.  Among the 70 or so guests were May Anderson, Kate Bosworth, Serena Williams, Lake Bell and stylist Rachel Zoe, all of whom enjoyed the beautiful day, listening to music from the likes of Kings of Leon to Sting, munching on petite sandwich’s (crustless of course), sipping on Pim’s cocktails and cucumber water, while sampling Buberry Beauty like Burberry Skin, Glow, Lips and Eyes.

Burberry Beauty Campaign

“Burberry Beauty” includes foundations, blushers, lipsticks and eyeshadows, and its very British palette is inspired by the house’s iconic trench coat. In keeping with its quintessentially English vibe, the ad campaign features British models Lily Donaldson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nina Porter.

“We’ve chosen three British beauties we’ve worked with before and who are part of the family,” Bailey said. “Rosie has this effortless sexiness to her; Nina has an edge and attitude; and Lily is a classic British beauty. When you put them all together, you have a pure Burberry expression.”

Burberry Beauty Lips, Eyes and Face

The products (priced from $27 for an eyeliner to $55 for a wet-dry foundation) come in metal packaging etched with Burberry check. Foundation shades are based on the earthy shades of the iconic trench. The Light Glow blush, in colors like russet, blossom and cameo, are mostly translucent, and the Lip Glow has a great plumping effect. The Sheer Powder Eye Shadows, in stormy khakis, blues, lavenders and grays, are easy for anyone to use.

Bailey said, “I started to think about  makeup a few years ago, while working on a runway show. where it seemed clear that this concept was the only one that we were missing to fully express a world and state of mind”

The collection is fused with inspiration from the classic Buberry trench coat, locking in that timelessness with innovation and functionality.  The make up line is available exclusivley at Nordstrom and www.burberry.com across the US, Canada and Europe.  We were lucky to leave with an incredible gift bag full of products to take home and packaged in a great clutch by Burberry of course.

Expect to see much more from Burberry, Bailey is building on the brands history with innovation and is reaching out to the next generation, starting now with this beauty line, but also doing an entire social networking site, digital advertising and even a fashion show webcast that let consumers order on the spot.  Burberry’s comeback, that Bailey lead,  just keeps on coming and coming.   With a following like Bailey has and the incredible staff around him, Burberry is sure to continue to surprise us and entice us.

LA based graffiti artist Shepard Fairey has been creating artwork for a solid 20 years.  But it wasn’t until the 2008 presidential election that he became a household name.  His creation of the iconic Expressionist portrait of  President Obama with the caption “Hope” raised more than half a million dollars for Obama’s election campaign and it was what renowned author Malcolm Gladwell likes to call “the tipping point” for Fairey. This portrait spread like wild fire and was found all across America, and even the world, on billboards, bumper stickers, t shirts, jackets — the list is endless.

“The image has achieved what I hoped for, times 100,” said Shepard.

Shepard also created an image with Obama smiling and the caption “Victory.”

The road to political artist wasn’t straight and narrow —  Shepard has earned himself quite a rap sheet — he’s been arrested for street art multiple times. He did not approach the Obama campaign partly because of this reason.  But the combination of him postering it around his home base of Los Angeles and the image becoming a force on the Internet had the Obama campaign calling him after only a few weeks  – which was a smart move for the campaign for several reasons, including being able to control that the image wouldn’t be used in illegal ways.

“The reason why I did street art is because I wanted to share my art in front of an audience and the most direct way to do it, especially before the Internet, was to do find derelict spaces, abandon building, electricity boxes on corners and just put posters up,”  Fairey said.

We here at Style Seen Daily often have the pleasure to rock to Fairey as he is a resident DJ in downtown LA. He believes the world of music and art are intertwined. And just like his artwork, where he just starts and follows his passion not sure what the final work will be until he is done, he djs in the same manner, feeling the crowd and changing his music to the vibe in the air.  He reveals, “I love music and I feel like djing is audio graphic design.”

Shepard created the “André the Giant Has a Posse” sticker campaign in 1989, while attending Rhode Island School of Design.  This evolved into the “Obey” phenomenon with Obey stickers being stuck anywhere and everywhere (legal or illegal).  The Obey clothing line then followed suit.

He has also created album artwork for such artists as The Black Eyed Peas (Monkey Business) and  The Smashing Pumpkins (Zeitgesit).

Shepard Fairey is turning out to be one of our generation’s most influential artists. And SSD looks forward to watching Shepard spread his wings even further as we believe, like Obama, he is now in the right position to turn more of his ideas into beautiful creations.

Is suiting up for work in sweltering weather making you hot under the collar?  Although lounging around in your air-conditioned pad all day sounds like the best plan—we all still have to work—and that means braving the fierce summer sun in business wear.  We all know getting skimpy isn’t an option in the office—so what is?  Make sure to consult your office’s dress code for the ultimate authority, but  let’s take a look at the general dos and don’ts for staying work-savvy and stylish in rising temperatures.

To Dos

Light is Right. One of the easiest ways to remedy to bring the temperature down a few notches is to look for lightweight and airy fabrics.  Think chiffons, breathable cotton or linen.  Try your traditional office pieces in less weighty form—like a _ sleeve cotton blazer like this one from Ann Taylor at Westside Pavilion ($129), or a printed chiffon blouse.

Nordstrom, $895, Los Cerritos Center.

It’s high time to get girlie. Take a break from masculine military looks or rough and tough tribal – and think sugar and spice and everything….bows. This pretty and feminine adornment is ditching it’s elementary school and pep squad reputation and taking it’s turn as trend of the season. And, for those who like to invest in pieces with high rewear value, know that this is one trend that will not be fading with summer, but will fall into autumn and winter without skipping a beat. Still not sure how to wear them and be age-appropriate? Here’s some ideas:

Mini. Just a little bit of sass is sexy. Pick tiny embellishment bows on the tips or heels of pumps, demure closures topped with bowties on your back, or rings with a little bowtie bling. This leggy lace version is from Nordstrom at Los Cerritos Center ($ 885).

Cheat sheet to instant style:  wear dresses.   This summer it’s all about the dress—fancy them up for your after-hours arrivals or casual them out for ducking into the coffee shop—just don’t over think it.

Say YES to the dress.

We’re counting down in order of ‘must-have-ness’ starting with our flavor of the month, the denim dress.

Here’s your go-to list:

Number Five: Definitely Denim.  It’s hip, it’s trendy, it’s now.  Look for dresses in divine dark washes or  keep it light in charming chambray.  Get it, belt it, love it.  We saw this one at Target in Lakewood Center ($24.99).
