A STAR-Studded Affair

That's right, bullies are so not in style anymore. And the Creative Coalition plus the WWE superstar studs and divas are making sure they don't make a comeback.


The Andaz Hotel in Hollywood housed a special group of A-list celebrities, WWE stars and wonderful anti-bullying supporters for the "be a STAR" SummerSlam VIP event, hosted by Robin Bronk, CEO of the Creative Coalition.

 "be a STAR" -- which stands for 'Show Tolerance And Respect' -- is a new global anti-bullying alliance formed by the Creative Coalition and the WWE. The mission of "be a STAR" is to ensure a positive and equitable social environment for everyone regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation through grassroots efforts beginning with education and awareness. "be a STAR" promotes positive methods of social interaction and encourages people to treat others with as equals and with respect because everyone is a star in their own right.


Celebs at the event showed up dressed to impress for this special occasion. Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wore a lovely lilac strapless dress, beige peep-toe pumps, complete with a sparkly gold clutch. She and Kellan Lutz, who sported a black shirt and dark brown leather jacket, posed for a photo out on the patio beside the pool.

Trend Alert: Classic Python

Time after time we fall prey to the allure of exotic snakeskin. Reptilian scales as a wardrobe staple struck in the 60's and later in the 70's snakeskin became a coat of arm for vixens, artists, and rockers. Today showing a little skin carries a more sophisticated and luxe reputation.

Trend Alert: Spikes and Studs!

Spikes are back and bigger than ever before! Whether it's a clutch or towering pumps spike are everywhere and we are absolutely obsessed! One thing to remember is that studs can look tacky if you don't pair it properly. Our rule of thumb is to only wear one item with spikes at a time and to pair ir with something less rugged. It's all about balancing softness with other materials that are heavier and edgier.

Beauty Insider Tip

Beauty divas, listen up!  We have an insider tip on a product known to create fuller lashes, remove eye makeup, and work wonders on dry hair!

We love using coconut oil for its multi purpose functions.  It works great as a gentle makeup remover, and actually helps lashes grow fuller and longer!  It's also perfect for cleaning up mascara smudges with a Q-Tip.  Another great use for coconut oil restores moisture to your thirsty locks.  Apply all over hair just before bed and shampoo the next morning.  Your hair will absorb the moisture from the coconut oil, leaving it healthy and replenished!

Find this product in the baking aisle at your nearest grocery store.  Enjoy!!
