I’ve got some fabulous, stylish news for you to digest over the weekend. On a totally unrelated matter, I just watched Iron Man last night and it was such a blast! Robert Downey Jr is a clever, funny actor. The humor punches in the right spot, and the shell suit is super cool. I feel like a fan girl! He just made it to my top three favourite superheroes. I love summer blockbusters and this summer seems like super fun - Speed Racer, The Dark Knight, Indy Jones 4, The Incredible Hulk, Narnia and Sex and the City Movie! Ahh, love the summer. Okay, back to fashion:

While we’re still waiting for stylish Brit Victoria Beckham to start rocking Christian Siriano’s designs, the Project Runway winner has teamed up with another English singer to show off his new mini clothing collection for Puma. Shine chanteuse — and Kanye West collaborator — Estelle helped Christian unveil the first item from the fifteen-piece line at her record release party at a Manhattan club last night. Siriano created her distinctive ruffle-neck dress by deconstructing three existing Puma tanks. What’s more, he’s dubbed the R&B artist a muse. He tells PEOPLE, “For me it’s really exciting because it’s great to work with an artist that wants to be more creative and more fashion forward. That’s why I love her. I mean how fabulous is she?” We definitely think the dress is pretty fabulous and can’t wait to see more.

While the actress is filming the new movie Me and Orson Welles, she is also gearing up for another important role: the face of Gucci’s fall jewelry line! Claire Danes will be gracing the ads of the Italian design houses fine jewelry ads come this fall. The actress has yet to shoot the ads, but we are sure they will be divine with her soft features and beautiful blonde hair. We can’t wait to see them — check back soon for a sneak peek!
Fashion News #3: Heidi Montag’s Line Outsells Posh’s Line

It’s Heidi’s cheap Anchor Blue junk, versus Victoria’s expensive dVb junk. And apparently the junk is flying off the shelves for both ladies. Heidiwood is sold out at Kitson, on Robertson Blvd. Posh, on the other hand, is seeing hard times. The dVb jeans have been relegated to the sale rack at Loehmann’s. Although, the line has completely sold out in Reseda California, but nobody knows where that is anyways — except the karate kid. But they’re saying that Heidi is outselling Posh. Although we find that hard to believe, as TMZ points out, “It’s a lot easier to sell crappy $44.95 jeans, than crappy $250 ones!” (Text: Style Dash)
