If you're planning a trip to Turks and Caicos then you might want to browse the most recent cruise collections that have just come out. Putting together a Resort Collection is always a fun and interesting time in ready-to-wear high fashion. This season, brands such as Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Dior and Oscar De La Renta are in full bloom. We’re seeing some special peplum dresses, cropped leather jackets, and one piece swimsuits in the mix! Our editors weigh in on their favorites here.

Chanel: In the spirit of cruise, Chanel reinvents its signature black and white fabrics for summer. Karl Lagerfeld puts a new twist on swimwear with this black and white one piece bathing suit (insert). Definitely one of the edgier pieces in the collection. Lagerfeld pushes the envelope even further with a black and white airy blouse and pantsuit, proving that the fashion maison’s work is always evolving.

YSL has just released Miss Cara in their latest beauty campaign featuring their Babydoll Mascara product.

If you've opened up a magazine in the past year, then you have been quite familiar with the many faces of Cara Delevingne. Cara plays the role of two different characters; an elegant and proper female vs. a wild child in the city. It is a pretty entertaining one minute video clip, if you are a Cara fan. Besides now being the new face of YSL Beauty, she has recently signed a contract with Burberry Body Tender.

On May 17th, New York-based fashion designer, Peter Som and retailer Anthropologie will be releasing their Spring/Summer collaboration collection just in time for wedding season. The collection will be filled with delicate pleating, classic silhouettes, and separates with major floral moments.

Earlier this year, Anthropologie's sister brand, with a main focus on bridal wear, BHLDN, recruited Peter Som to create elegant wedding gowns. Now they are streaming their creativity on looks for the people taking the seats!

Cara Delevinegne, the 20-year old English fashion model has had quite a run this year in the fashion world. She is fashion's new It girl and her success can be spotted in every magazine and on every corner of the street. Much like the many comparisons between Justin Bieber and MJ, Delevinegne has earned the same iconic comparisons to Kate Moss and everyone has taken notice.

Think about this last time you have opened a magazine and Miss Cara was not on every other page. This bold brow beauty has scored huge campaigns and has walked every single major catwalk at New York, London, and Paris Fashion Weeks and was on top of the Victoria's Secret Fashion show earlier this year. So in all how many show did Cara walk for the Spring/Summer 2013 collections? A total of an impressive 39 runways. Her most recent campaings include Burberry, Chanel, DKNY, and more.

It was that time of the year again. The time to place bets, sip on delicious mint juleps, and pray for the winner. All while rocking the most fabulous millinery creations this season has to offer. If it sounds a bit familiar, that's right, it was Kentucky Derby time this past weekend And people all around from Louisville to New York were celebrating in full effect. If you couldn't make it to Kentucky, New York City had an array of elegant affairs to make your day, including a parties at the new Tequila Park at the Hudson Hotel and Eleven Madison Park.

We have discussed the flooded success of H&M on Glam Damn It a few times so why stop now? After all, like we said H&M is on fire and are continuing down an overwhelmingly successful path. So how else can the Swedish label shock us besides gaining Beyonce as the face of the Spring Campaign and designing upcoming Olympic uniforms?

Beyonce may run the world but H&M is now ahead of the game in most recently signing a multi-million dollar contract with...dramatic drum roll please...GISELE. Yes..you read this correctly. Gisele Bundchen; the world's first billionaire supermodel will be joining the ranks with H&M.

What is a dress clip? I first encountered these strange artifacts of fashion while in search for some rhinestone earrings several years ago at Reminiscence in New York City. I was instantly attracted to some intricate floral sparklers in the counter case, but was disappointed that the ear clips on the back had broken—or so I thought. Excited that the “earrings” were otherwise in good condition, I removed the damaged clip from the back and replaced it with a post. I proudly wore them to an event that evening, bragging about how I had rescued those poor tarnished things with Windex and superglue. Like many casual collectors of vintage costume jewelry, I had mistaken a pair of well-preserved dress clips for earrings, and performed some unnecessary surgery. After I won an interlocking pair of convertible Duette dress clips in an online auction a few weeks ago—this time believing that they were an ordinary brooch—I decided that I must discover the origins of these unusual accessories and learn how to wear them.
