Australian pop singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue is all set to launch her fourth perfume — Sexy Darling.
After Darling, Sweet Darling and Showtime, it’s now the turn of Sexy Darling, a woody floral, available as Eau de Toilette Glowing Body Lotion. Minogue, 40, worked in close collaboration with Coty on the development of Sexy Darling.
“I firmly believe that sexiness is all to do with your state-of-mind,” says Kylie, who worked in close association with Coty for the development of Sexy Darling. “Some people radiate an inner sense of self-esteem and beauty that’s irresistible.”
“With Sexy Darling I wanted to capture this by creating a fragrance for today’s sexy, self assured woman who is passionate and playful… a woman who is seductive and sensual,” she added. “I’m very excited that Sexy Darling’s fusion of floral and woody notes is a rich, sophisticated fragrance that truly lives up to its name.”
The perfume created for the “modern, sexy, self-confident woman” will be available in stores across the UK tomorrow.

Movado Group Inc., the parent company for Ebel and Movado watches, has published ads for its Beluga watch with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Renowned photographer Craig McDean shot the 28-year-old model to strir up a sense of femininity, mystery and luxury, and I should say he’s left no bedsheet…. err, no stone unturned to get it right!
The classic Beluga ladies watch, launched by Swiss watchmaker Ebel in 1985, has since seen a complete re-design, with the new designs incorporating a generous use of quality diamonds, mother of pearl and 18-carat gold.
About the £25,000 rose gold Ebel watch, store manager Peter Pendrey said: “This is a luxury timepiece that will appeal to people, who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and fine diamonds.
“The Beluga is designed specially for women, so it is appropriate to have one of the world’s most beautiful women heading the campaign.”
Bundchen, the highest paid model in the world, will appear in Ebel’s posters and fashion and lifestyle magazines this fall.

Wannabe style icon Pixie Geldof is moving up the fashion struts–she has allegedly signed an £80,000 ($160,000) contract with high-street store New Look to design and model her own fashion line.
Sir Bob Geldof’s daughter Pixie is obviously following in the lines of the New Look deal signed by Lily Allen last year, though industry sources opine that Pixie will get a hotter response that what Allen received.
“She is a stunning girl and intrinsically fashionable. She dresses totally uniquely and in a quirky, fun way,” the source said. “Money can’t buy you style but Pixie flaunts hers effortlessly. She’s a brilliant role model for young fashionistas.”
The 17-year-old London socialite will design an eight-piece fashion line, according to Britain’s Daily Mirror.

Luxury comes in all colors and flavors, shapes and sizes–and material. Style coupled with luxury is the ultimate essence of good living and socializing. And if you want to flaunt your good taste, I can’t think of a better way to do it than using teak furniture which will set the stage for great food, fine wine, intelligent conversation and lasting impressions.
Why teak, you might ask. Simply because teak is the only truly majestic wood. Teak wood takes a little more than 50 years to mature, and it is the wood that all other timbers are compared to. Teak wood does not shrink when exposed to wind, heat or moisture, which is just one reason teak outdoor furniture is the perfect choice for garden or patio.
Talking about teak patio furniture, the choices are as magnificent as they are varied. For instance, your backyard could come alive with a well-crafted Lahaina or Naples Extension table, or even a Butterfly Leg Folding table to go with classic folding chairs, rockers or recliners. Teak wood benches add a luxurious touch while being durable and elegant as well.
What patio can be without loungers? And loungers, of course, have to be beautiful and well designed for comfort. You might want to consider some exquisite Bahamas and Pattaya teak lounger designs to impart a nice tropical touch.
Then again, those of you in pursuit of immaculately designed and matching teakwood patio furniture might want to take a look at some superb furniture sets. I’d recommend you check out some of the sophisticated Rossa Deep Seating Collection, Lahaina Extension Table & Lahaina Folding Chairs or the Rose Bech Set.
I recall Yves Saint Laurent’s words, “Fashion changes, style remains.” Teakwood is style. Sheer style.

“The O.C.” hottie Rachel Bilson proves her versatility–actor, designer and now model for her own line Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans.
The chic ad for Bilson’s 15-piece sportswear is shot against a New York backdrop and the “Jumper” actress appears along with models, Fabienne Vanderhaeghen, Regina Feoktistova and Giedre Dukaskaitein. Edie Rose for DKNY features mainly button-down tops, sweaters, jackets, T-shirts, dresses and straight leg and skinny leg jeans.
The 26-year-old star has apparently lent a very personal touch to the designs, according to Kevin Monogue, president, DKNY Jeans.
“Our customer has a real emotional connection with Rachel, and she’s always on the best-dressed lists, so it seemed like such a win-win for us,” he said. “Rachel has real personal style and she is very involved in every step. You can really see that in the collection.”
The ads will run in Teen Vogue and Cosmogirl magazines in time for back-to-school, and will be sold at high-end stores including Macy’s and Dillard’s.
