Taylor Swift is to release a new
fragrance, Wonderstruck Enchanted, as a follow up to her debut Wonderstruck
scent.
The 22-year-old singer will put out
Wonderstruck Enchanted - a follow-up to her debut scent Wonderstruck, which she
launched with her fragrance licensee Elizabeth Arden last year - in
September.
In an email to WWD, she said:
''Wonderstruck Enchanted is the next chapter in the story of my Wonderstruck
fragrance.
''Wonderstruck is about that moment when
you instantly feel a connection to someone, but then there's that feeling of
being completely enamoured - enchanted - when you know a little more about that
someone and still feel that strong connection.''
Wonderstruck Enchanted contains hints of
wild berries, pink poppy, passion fruit, vanilla, blooming white freesia,
sugar-glazed champaca petals complete with a white musk drydown.
Bottles will come in two different sizes
with a 1.7oz container available for $49.50 and a 3.4oz perfume for $59.50, with
a rollerball and body lotion set and to go on sale for $18 and $29
respectively.
The Wonderstruck Enchanted bottle has
been reimagined from the original blue Wonderstruck container with a bold
crimson finish complete with an array of charms including a bird, sparkling
crystal, flower and leaf, which all have antiqued finishes.
Lori Mariano, director of global
marketing for the brand at Elizabeth Arden, said: ''Wonderstruck was such a huge
success for us - we wanted to carry momentum forward.''
Gucci is pleased to announce that it is
extending its relationship with Charlotte Casiraghi, who will be the protagonist
of the House's new "Forever Now" advertising campaign series conceived by
Creative Director Frida Giannini in collaboration with Ms. Casiraghi. Over the
course of the next two years the new campaign will see Charlotte Casiraghi
portrayed by four of the world's most respected fashion and portrait
photographers in a series of sittings celebrating the House's renowned
icons.
The first portraits tell the story of
Gucci's signature green and red stripe through the lens of Peter Lindbergh. Shot
against the backdrop of a stable, the intimate photographs of Ms. Casiraghi
evoke founder Guccio Gucci's fascination with the art of riding.
Taylor Swift's always been good about
keeping up with her fans, and Taylor Swift shared a picture of her new coif via
her Twitter page earlier .
The "Love Story" songstress tweeted, "Got
a haircut," along with a picture of her beautiful blonde bangy
hairdo.
Swift told press, "I've just been so
excited about what's gonna happen in the next year. I'm also really excited
about [the next album]. I've been writing all the time. I've been writing so
much for the new record. I can't believe I'm saying that already: It comes out
in a year, but I'm already excited about it."
Meanwhile, Taylor's fans were
disappointed that she was shut out of the Record of the Year, Song of the Year,
and Album of the Year Grammy nominations last night. Thankfully she still
received three nods.
Treating her legions of fans to a brand
new offering, Taylor Swift has debuted the music video for her hit single
"Ours".
With the just-released video available
below, the country darling tweeted just minutes before its very first airing,
"Turn on E! Watch the video premiere!"
The nearly four minute long video begins
in an office setting with Taylor going through a workday while also seen
reminiscing about a "distant love" played by "Friday Night Lights" hunk Zach
Gilford.
After the daily grind winds down, Swift
leaves for the day to meet Gilford's character - who happened to be away serving
in the military - at an airport, with the two proceeding to share a warm embrace
for a happy ending.
The "Ours" debut comes just hours after
Miss Swift stepped out to accept Billboard’s Woman of the Year award at Capitale
in New York City,
Of the honor, the soon-to-be 22-year-old
told press, "For me, when Faith Hill performed on an awards show, everything
mattered - everything she said, did, wore, I tried to copy it. That’s what
little girls do, so there is a big responsibility and I take it very
seriously."
Around here, we have a ton of nostalgia
for the '90s, and part of that is due to the incredible music from the decade.
There are so many unforgettable hits of the era, but right now we're thinking
about the tunes that made you put your Beanie Babies aside, turn your boombox
up, and get on the floor. If you're looking for the perfect mix of dance songs
from the 1990s, look no further, because we've got 100 of them for that theme
party you know you want to have.
Cracking down on Covergirl NatureLuxe
Mouse Mascara product, Procter & Gamble was forced to pull their recent ads
featuring Taylor Swift.
After launching an inquiry into the print
advertisements, Andrea Levine, director of the National Advertising Division,
told Business Insider, “You can't use a photograph to demonstrate how a cosmetic
will look after it is applied to a woman's face and then – in the mice type –
have a disclosure that says "okay, not really".
The advertisement, which shows the "You Belong With Me" singer's lush eyelashes complemented by Covergirl mascara along
with a side of digital enhancement, included the line, "lashes enhanced in post
production" or "lashes enhanced in post."
In addition, the organization is
concerned that the ads "conveyed the implied messages that consumers who use
Covergirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara would get lashes like those depicted in the
advertisement and that the lashes depicted in the advertisement were achieved
solely by using CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mascara, without post-production
enhancement."
It' an early Christmas gift for sure, and
Taylor Swift's new single "Safe and Sound"will be a solid addition to the "Hunger Games"soundtrack.
Featuring breakout duo The Civil Wars,
“Safe and Sound” has haunting melodies and an eerie minimalist motif, making it
an instant favorite.
Taylor tweeted, "Something I'e been VERY
excited about for a VERY long time is going to be happening VERY
soon."
In the song' chorus, Swift and The Civil
Wars'Joy Williams and John Paul White sing, "Just close your eyes The sun is
going down You’ll be all right No one can hurt you In the morning light You and
I'l be safe and sound."
