In the June issue of W, Ginnifer Goodwin shares how she punked her friends on her 30th birthday last year. She had them all thinking she had sold out, a la Vincent Chase on Entourage , and was having a Vegas blowout sponsored by a celebrity weekly and a liquor company and everything. In reality, she kidnapped her five girlfriends and took them to a bed a breakfast where “we did mud baths, learned how to make perfume and lazed by the pool and drank way too much wine.” Way to go Ginnifer!

“College?” Lulu made a face. “What for?” “So I can a job,” I said. “Teaching, probably. Both my parents are professors and I’d like to be one, too.” ….. How can anyone concentrate on looking beautiful when all that is going on around them and inside their head, as well? Modeling isn’t easy.

I’m off for New York for the next greatest three months of my life, and I’m going in the exact same way I left: with a smile on my face, a Vogue in my bag, and Steven Alan on my bod. Here’s to another summer full of Gossip Girl set-stalking, sale-searching, concert-seeking, coffee-fueling, cupcake-collecting, outfit-chronicling, magazine-interning, Central Park-sunning fun. The next time you hear from me I’ll be in the city! I hope to have lots of outfit snapshots and short films for you this summer — I’m even bringing along my Flip camcorder + mini-tripod in hopes of shooting “on location.” What are your Memorial Day plans?

We love that Louis Vuitton is more than just about the clothes–Louis Vuitton is a lifestyle and an aesthetic. Those who are traveling to Hong Kong this summer should definitely stop by the Hong Kong Museum of Art to check out the exhibit “Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation.” While the exhibit runs until August 9, you don’t even have to step inside to get a feel for it. The museum is wrapped in prints from artist Richard Prince’s “After Dark” series, shown above and below. But, of course, we love the clothes, too. JSG was honored to be invited to preview a small selection of the Louis Vuitton fall ’09 line, along with a select group of bloggers as part of Louis Vuitton ‘s outreach to social media. Some of our favorite pieces are below:

My mom has been touting the virtues of gel eyeliner for ages, and I have finally decided she may actually be right. My find? S hu Uemura Painting Gel Eye Liner . It’s highly pigmented, and goes on smooth and creamy, and doesn’t flake! Plus, it comes in cool shade range that is really good for creative makeup. • Black, Brown, Night Blue • White, Vivid Blue: • Green, Purple • Gold, Silver Why do gel eyeliners work so great? They give you the precision of a liquid liner, but are as transfer-resistant as a pencil. (And yet, if you find a good one, will stay on and not smudge!) Image: Neiman Marcus Post from: eBeautyDaily

While I do love to mock sun-worshippers with my “Pale Is the New Tan” tank, I am aware that many fashionistas are gaga for the celebrity glow. According to Hollywood Tans ‘ Senior Tanologist Sue Lutter, regardless of what you wear, it’s important to remember style begins with your skin, after all — it’s the one accessory that’s sure not to go out of fashion. “The key to making your favorite outfits stand out is displaying them on a glowing canvas,” says Lutter. For a fresh look, Lutter suggests: A Natural Foundation Giving your skin-tone a healthy bronze boost can make all the difference in achieving fresh summer style. High Gloss Finish Top off your look with sheer or tinted lip gloss to get that polished summer look you’ve dreamed about all winter long. For the perfect pout, keep lips hydrated by applying lip gloss over a lip balm with sunscreen. Image: Sxc.hu Post from: eBeautyDaily
