Glam Slam: The Friday Five — All About August!

Happy August! Enjoy the last, lazy days of Summer! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

MATERIAL GIRLS
“Gossip Girl” Taylor Momsen is the face of Material Girl, the new line for tweens that Madonna and her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes are launching exclusively at Macy’s. The collection of clothes, footwear and accessories are very accessible and affordable with prices starting at $12 and topping out at just $40. Available August 3. www.macys.com

GET YOUR RED CARPET FIX
“Glee” star Lea Michele told us she already has her dress picked out for The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. Last year it was sooooo hot on the red carpet, we may just see a few stars wearing short dresses this year to beat the heat! Don’t forget to check out The Emmy Pre-Show too produced by Access Hollywood! August 29 on NBC.

‘EAT PRAY LOVE’… AND SMELL GOOD
One of my favorite companies has created perfumes inspired by the best selling book turned film starring Julia Roberts. In Theaters August 13.
Fresh offers three scents based on the countries visited in the book – Italy, India and Bali… Eat mixes Italian lemon with plum and vanilla.
Pray is woodsy with pink pepper, incense and patchouli, while Love is a floral blending red currant, dewy jasmine and sandalwood. Wear individually or layer. $32 each. www.fresh.com

GO BANANAS!
Stylist Rachel Zoe is back for the third season of Bravo’s “The Rachel Zoe Project” and faces the stressful task of finding a new assistant. Go behind the scenes as Rachel styles Demi Moore’s crazy beach shoot with a giraffe. August 3.

WANNA BE IN FASHION?
Then check out the new book “In Fashion” by Annemarie Iverson, a guide to everything you need to know to break into the fashion industry whether it’s as a model, designer, stylist, window dresser, art director or even on-line fashionista. Diane Von Furstenberg wrote the foreword to the book, which includes sections like Fashionista Boot Camp and Fashionista Survival Guide. I smiled when I read this section in the book…“Fashionista Detox: Fifty-Three Ways to Stop Acting Like a Fashion B*#@ch.” Available August 31.
