Considering the success of her billion-dollar fashion empire, it’s no surprise that Jessica Simpson is taking her expertise for material things to a glimmering new level. The soon-to-be-married singer is embarking on her next business venture — a fine jewelry collection — focusing on every girl’s best friend: diamonds!

In October, the fashion mogul will introduce the Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend collection at Zales and Zales Outlets, making jewelry her 22nd retail category.  ”Jewelry is such personal expression of style and taste. This collection has allowed me to create pieces that truly reflect who I am, and that can become a keepsake for lifetime,” Simpson tells WWD. “The collection is beautifully crafted. The designs are airy and artistic and so easy to wear.”  The line features pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets and bangles in gold, silver and diamonds with an affordable price range of $69 to $799.

Has Jessica Simpson Found Her Wedding Dress?

She said months ago that she was on the hunt for the perfect, low cut wedding dress, but it looks like Jessica Simpson is still searching for her dream gown. “I don’t have a dress yet,” Simpson told Extra this week when asked about what she might wear to wed fiancé Eric Johnson. But the Fashion Star mentor, who revealed that she will be part of the design process, isn’t worried about finding the right gown. “The dress is going to be amazing,” she assured, which comes as no surprise considering the success of her billion dollar fashion empire. However, the bride-to-be isn’t only focused on finding a dress — she’s determined to make sure everyone is having a blast when the big day finally arrives. “With a wedding, it should be a celebration … we should all be having fun, every single person there,” she said. So when is the celebration? For now, she’s keeping mum. “I’ve heard people throw around dates and not one of them has nailed it,” she joked. “Not even close.” Tell us: What kind of dress do you think Simpson should wear down the aisle? –Kim Peiffer

What do Kanye West, Jessica Simpson and Mary-Kate Olsen have in common? They love Céline’s chic summer blouses! The stars engaged in a bit of three-way fashion faceoff this summer, each donning a different Céline look while out and about. West wore his, a top from designer Phoebe Philo’s spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection, while performing at the Coachella Music Festival in California in April. One month later, Simpson was spotted dining in New York City in a similar blouse from the very same collection. Fast-forward to this month, when we caught Olsen outside of her Manhattan hotel in a shirt from Céline’s Classics collection. We’re personally fans of all three looks, but want to know what you think. Tell us: Who wears a Céline blouse best?

Jessica Simpson is no stranger to falling under love’s intoxicating spell, and the feeling is so great, she wanted to bottle it! So the fashion mogul created a new fragrance, I Fancy You, designed to conjure up memories of discovering what it means to be in love. “I am so excited to introduce my fourth and final fragrance of the Fancy Collection, I Fancy You,” Simpson said in a statement, referencing the theme of amour found in her perfumes. “This floral scent is romantic and feminine and conjures up the feelings of a first love that makes you realize that love can last forever … I Fancy You!” The fragrance, a collaboration between Simpson and perfumer Cécile Hua of MANE, is a soft, velvety floral musk with notes of juicy pear, savory Fuji apple and bergamot orange. Simpson stuck with the romance motif right down to the bottle design, choosing a pale blue capsule with tiny hearts, inspired by a vintage fragrance bottle in her personal collection. We wonder if she’ll sport this love-themed fragrance when she walks down the aisle! Tell us: Will you buy Simpson’s latest fragrance? –Kim Peiffer
