Kim Kardashian Blogs About Her Skin Saver

Winslow/Prahl/Splash News Online

When Kim Kardashian hit Mexico’s sandy beaches this past week she sizzled — quite literally. Suffering a nasty sunburn on her face and body after falling asleep in the sun, the star posted images of her post-sun visage on Twitter. And today Kim is sharing how she found relief on her blog with her favorite new product, Kiehl’s Anti-Oxidant Skin Preserver. “This face cream saved my life!” she writes. “It is the only thing that calmed down my sunburn and healed my skin!” And she learned a lesson about the dangers of the sun exposure as well. “Having this sunburn was the biggest wake up call for me,” she says. “I realized how damaging sun is and how important it is to take care of your skin.”

Hollywood’s Next Design Star: David Arquette’s Four-Year-Old Daughter?

Flynet

Move over Chanel — it looks like there’s another designing Coco on the rise. David Arquette tells PEOPLE.com that his aptly-named four-year-old daughter with wife Courteney Cox Arquette is already an aspiring designer — just like her papa, who recently launched the casual-wear line Propr. During a City Harvest benefit dinner at Cipriani in N.Y.C. on Tuesday, the actor talked with PEOPLE.com about Coco’s foray into fashion. “She actually did paint a little red dress,” said Arquette. “She said, ‘Here, Daddy. I painted this for Propr.’ She designed her own beautiful red dress. And it has a little heart shaped top. It was very elegant, something you could wear tonight.” But will young Coco’s design ever be produced? “We’ll probably put that in [the line] for next Spring,” said Arquette. “She’s just a very girly girl. She’s really into fashion. She gets a lot of clothes.” And while David is known for his sense of humor, when it comes to Coco’s clothing we’re hoping that he’s all business. — Reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Hollywood Hits London for Matthew Williamson’s H&M Launch

Flynet

Sparking an all-out fashion frenzy, stylish stars turned out in London last night to help designer Matthew Williamson celebrate his collaboration with H&M. The British designer, who kept pal Sienna Miller close by his side, told PEOPLE just how nervous he had been while heading to the launch of his capsule collection with the cheap-chic retailer: “In the car on the way I said to Sienna, do the heart test, feel my heart, and she did. It was pounding!” But it turns out Williamson had nothing to worry about. As VIPs like Mischa Barton and Pixie Geldof grabbed his signature vivid color pieces off the rails of the Regent Street store, he looked on with disbelief. “I was so nervous that no one was going to be here. I’m watching the rails being emptied, literally, it’s freaking me out — in a good way!” For her part, Mischa seemed to agree, congratulating the designer with a huge hug as she arrived in one of his new designs — a studded leather waistcoat and blue tulip skirt. “This is amazing,” she said pointing to a cropped leather jacket, while Sienna Miller, having completed her mission of support, sipped champagne quietly with a few friends. You can finally nab some of Williamson’s must-have looks for yourself. His collection, which ranges from $25 to $349, launchs today in H&M stores. –Reporting by Monique Jessen

She may have put her signature clothing line on hiatus, but that doesn’t mean that Lauren Conrad is taking a break from designing. The Hills star has just announced that she is teaming up with Kohl’s to bring fans her California cool style at more budget-friendly prices with the LC Lauren Conrad collection. Just how affordable will the new line be? The designs will range from $20 to $60 — a steal compared to her first eponymous line, where jersey dresses ran as much as $200. “Partnering with a successful national retailer like Kohl’s supports my mission to make great clothing accessible to young women everywhere,” Lauren said in a press statement. LC Lauren Conrad will launch with just apparel at 300 Kohl’s stores and kohls.com in October 2009, but may expand into footwear, jewelry, handbags, intimates and sleepwear at a later date. Tell us: Will you buy from Lauren’s collection for Kohl’s?
