A Musical Interlude

She might be causing controversy all over MTV and Twitter but Tuesday night, M.I.A. was a most congenial hostess while celebrating her Nylon cover at the Mondrian hotel in L.A.. (Chic overheard one guest gushing after a random run-in with the signer.) The fête celebrating the mag's annual music issue brought out a bevy of VIPs, who enjoyed a candle-lit dinner by Lacoste. Among the revellers? Taryn Manning, Lindsay Lohan, Agyness Deyn donning insanely short locks, plus a slew of off-duty vamp-show alums (think Christian Serratos, Natasha Alam, Candice Accola.). While LiLo and sister Ali kept it low-key without any SCRAM scares, a live and oh-so-glam performance by the Semi Precious Weapons had countless guests up and swaying incessantly around the pool—Belvedere cocktails always in hand (natch). In fact, the upstairs VIP banquets were so surrounded by vibrantly hip and hardly star-struck attendees the celeb could only be spotted when the paps' flash bulbs lit up. How very La-La, non?

What’s the best way to get someone excited for the hot and wonderful days of summer? A cold mojito and a beautiful beach might do the trick, but a sunglass buffet can also put pretty much anyone into a seasonal delirium. Safilo USA and its Solstice Flatiron location hosted a bash this week to launch the été and to hype up the brands’ Summer Solstice promotion, going on in all 150 locations nationwide. Recognizable faces like Olivia Munn, Maria Bello, Katrina Bowden, and Whitney Port were welcomed with mini lobster roll appetizers and complete access to the store’s current collections---with each guest eventually taking home a pair. “This will probably take a little while for me,” smiled Tristan Wilds. And for a good reason: Munn, Bello and others had a hard time choosing between the incredible brands in the shop: Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior and many, many others. “This is one way to make a girl completely happy!” exclaimed Bowden.

Carolyn Murphy can add stunt woman to her impressive resume following this feature appearance in Ryan McGinley’s exclusive short film. McGinley shot the Estee Lauder beauty using a Phantom camera for the Entrance Romance: It Felt Like a Kiss short, and makeup artist James Kaliardos provided Murphy with her sunkissed California girl look. In the film, Murphy plays with fire, stands still while a vase is smashed over her head, and shares a few intimate moments with her co-star...who is a dog. Don’t believe us? Check out the entire short film at Nowness.com.

Remember that giddy feeling you got as a kid, digging around the bottom of the cereal box, searching for the surprise inside? Colette remembers, too. If you love the thrill of the unknown, then indulge in the Lucky Bag, which contains, well…we have no idea! And that makes it all the sweeter. (Quelle marketing!) If it’s anything like our goodie bags of the past, then this parcel might be filled with pencil grips and Ring Pops---but somehow, we have a little more faith in le plus chic Colette... THE DETAILS: Colette, $24.54
