As any modern-day, self-respecting, box-office blockbuster, Oz The Great and Powerful didn’t do it alone. Instead it paired up with makeup heavy Urban Decay on a limited-edition makeup palette. Inspired by the films special effects and three glamo-rama witches — Glinda, Theodora, and Evanora — the cosmetics come in two collectable tins with six pop-out pans of eight color saturated shadows, a 24/7 glide on eye pencil and high gloss lip color. The idea — obvious if you’ve seen the film — is good vs. evil and the makeup is no different with a nod to Glinda in ethereal shades of purple, peach, silvery shimmer and pale gray, or a nod to Theodora in metallic gold, browns, dark satin black and greens. So click your heels three times and say… there’s no place like Sephora, there’s no place like Sephora, there’s no place like Sephora and voila! You’ll be half-way there!

High-end clothing website that rents designer digs right off the runway from our favorite designers has recently announced a whopping $24.4 million plug of cash from their latest round of financing. The company has raised a total of $55.4 million dollars to date. We’re wondering what this will mean for the fashion brand. Perhaps a few more showrooms popping up nation wide? Absolutely! And it looks like they’ll also be adding style advisors to their plans.
“The business is continuing to expand very quickly,” Rent the Runway co-founder and CEO Jennifer Hyman told WWD, “in people, marketing and scaling our operation to make sure we are delivering incredible customer experiences.”
For major online retailers, the Rent the Runway experience merges the online and offline market flawlessly offering great customer service on both ends.
“In [this] business, 100 percent of what we send out comes back four days later on purpose,” Scott Friend, managing director at Bain Capital, told WWD. “We have to make it look brand new all over again so we can ship it out again on Thursday, knowing it comes back on Monday. That involves seamstresses and dry cleaning…. this takes a lot of capital to build the business the right way [in order to] scale the business.”

We already revealed Marc Jacobs latest creative outlet designing Diet Cokecans for the pop culture brand, but the shill doesn’t stop there — the flamboyant fashion heavy is now starring in Coca-Cola’s latest ad campaign playing strong man for Coca-Cola Light.
The ads feature even more specially designed Jacobs’ Diet Coke bottles, with the man-of-the-hour donning his signature kilt while smiling up at various pin-up girls. According to the company, the images are meant to celebrate “female empowerment” — and while we’re not sure we see that in the photos of the designer popping a model-heavy soda pop top from it’s bottle, the idea is still stylistically quite chic.
Naturally, there’s a corresponding YouTube.com video. Check it out!
Maria Menounos Teams Up with Marshalls to Make Springtime Fabulous

There are many reasons why we are in love with discount designer stores like Marshalls. Our number one reason being that 200 – 300% markup most designer labels tend to infringe upon the innocent public is never a wanted side effect of fashion frenzy for us. We’re team #discount all the way. To prepare for Spring, TV personality Maria Menounos did a big shopping haul at Marshalls and filled her closet with discount designer pieces based on trends she’s loved on the red carpet while filming Extra!
“Whether it’s a black and white cross-body handbag that becomes a showstopper at brunch with my girlfriends, or the amazing lace dress that I can’t wait to wear on the set, it’s about being savvy and knowing where to find designer pieces for less,” said Menounos. “For me, that place has always been Marshalls, and I hope that my list of finds will inspire others to go and find similar items that will make spring, and every day, more fabulous for them.”
At 60 percent off of designer prices we’re glad that fashion notables like Maria are letting us take peak into their closest full of discounted designer digs.

Smoke, pizza, sushi, Play-Doh… but perfume brand Demeter has truly outdone themselves this time.
That zombie-apocolypse you’ve been waiting for is finally here in the shape of the fragrance-maker’s latest gimmicky scent: zombie. Yes. Zombie.
The cologne comes in two Zombie scented varieties — Zombie for Him (a combination of dead and dying vegetation, mushrooms, mildew, moss and earth) and Zombie for Her (a softer version of the for Him version with the addition of the dregs from the bottom of a wine barrel) — and while we can’t imagine zombies smell all that great, we’re morbidly curious to give it a whiff.
Demeter’s limited-edition Zombie for Him and Zombie for Her cologne sprays will be available from March 15th to April 30th, so if this is the sort of thing that appeals to you… mark those calendars.

If you’re a BirchBox subscriber you’ll be excited to learn that the big sample box brand has partnered with Ruffian to bring a bit of lacquer love to this coming season’s color play. The Ruffian Nail Lacquer Collection will begin as a limited-edition range of three colors inspired by the upcoming spring line.
What makes this line remarkable is that Birchbox’s Facebook fans got to join in and play creative director by selecting three of five possible shades, which pay homage to various elements of the “Ruffian world.” The winning hues will be mailed to Birchbox subscribers and featured at New York Fashion Week.
“We are [pleased] to launch our collection of nail polish nationwide to the 500,000 subscribers of Birchbox,” said Brian Wolk, co-creative director of Ruffian, to WWD, who added that the move into nail color was inspired by a growing cult following behind the Ruffian Manicure, a two-color reverse moon design. “Offering nail polish in our runway colors will be the perfect continuation of our passion for beauty.”
Stay tuned and subscribe to BirchBox to get your hands on the new collection
What Not To Wear Gets The Boot

If you find yourself wondering what to wear today… here is some sad news. After ten years of helping style-impaired Americans get some fashion sense, TLC’s beloved What Not to Wear has been canceled. No longer will we watch as the shows hosts Clinton Kelley and Stacey London reveal the do’s and don’t of style to the masses.
Kelley recently summed up the show’s impact on American fashion to the folks at People magazine, “To be honest, despite our best efforts over the past decade, we only seem to have gotten through to a small (but important) sliver of the population. Walk through any airport in America and you’ll quickly notice that 99 percent of people should have been paying more attention to us. If there’s one thing I wish people would take away from the show, it’s that you don’t have to be rich to look fabulous. When you dress with quiet sophistication and participate in the appropriate trends for your age and body type, you exude confidence and class.”
London took a more positive approach saying, “I do think we’ve gotten a lot of people to hem their jeans and wear jackets, dark wash jeans and pointy toe shoes!”
Now back to the closets, folks.
