Stacey Bendet is unquestionably creative, but turns out she’s quite artsy too. For Spring 2012, the Alice + Olivia designer collaborated with artist Gene Meyer on a very unique accessories project. The partnership resulted in a whimsical collection of silk scarves featuring Meyer’s dynamic prints. There are six styles available and while we can’t to wear ‘em, we’re thinking they would look divine in a frame on our wall.

Available at Alice + Olivia boutiques nationwide for $165.

Peplum is back, ladies. The ruffled waistline emerged in the 16th century and made a huge comeback in the 80s. Now, thanks to its Spring 2012 runway popularity, the peplum is popping up all over the place. From blazers and blouses to dresses and denim, it’s the perfect way to add a feminine touch to tailored pieces. Whether worn for day or night, keep your peplum stock modern with a punch of color, unexpected detail, or pairing the flirty silhouette with a structured garment.

Looking to get noticed? Versace’s new Étoile de la Mer eyewear was made to turn heads. Donatella Versace launched the collection, which includes two sunglass styles and an optical option, for her Spring 2012 show in Milan and now jet-setting women everywhere will be able to rock these unique frames. Using the sexy siren who arrives in the city on a steamy summer day as her muse, Versace wanted to mimic a sultry and sophisticated mood.

Fittingly, Gisele Bündchen–an iconic beauty in her own right–modeled the collection for the brand’s advertising campaign. “Her beauty is so bold in these images and she radiates true strength and sensuality, said Donatella. The images of her in the collection are stunning and powerful. “This is exactly the vision I had when I started the design process.”

Rihanna clearly isn’t shy. The songstress, who is the face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear, got undressed for the brands’ Spring 2012 campaign. Images of the artist modeling the brand’s denim and lacy undergarments have been released and Rihanna is looking pretty sexy. The sultry ads were shot in Dublin by Mert and Marcus Piggott and will be distributed worldwide .

Miuccia Prada’s delightful designs made a solid showing at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Zooey Deschanel, who was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series, may not have taken home the globe but she was among the evening’s best dressed. The New Girl star wore a black and emerald glass pearl encrusted dark green silk dress, which boasted a sexy open back. She accessorized with a coordinating rectangular clutch and black satin platform pumps. Freida Pinto impressed once again in a strapless silk cloqué bustier gown; the dress’ light blue tone was inspired by peacock feathers.

Diane Lane, Madonna, and Julie Bowen don’t necessarily have the same aesthetic, but all three wisely opted to wear Reem Acra to the 2012 Golden Globes. Lane was quite the gilded goddess in a gold sequin embroidered tulle v-neck cap sleeve gown from Acra’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Madonna captured her own golden statue for Best Original Song in a dark green embroidered confection with cap sleeves from the same collection. Modern Family’s Julie Bowen opted for classic glamour in a dusty pink tulle twist gown with crystal cap sleeve from the Resort 2012 collections. Kudos to Reem’s team for scoring three major red carpet moments on one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.

Brian Atwood is bringing out every fashionista’s wild side with his seductive new video for his fringe shoe, the Cassaine. This sexy snake-stamped sandal (Try saying that three times fast!) features a glittering platform and heel with chain fringe to add an edgy touch. In the video for the B Brian Atwood Spring 2012 heels, the model struts and shimmies on stage to an old school rock ‘n’ roll track with an audience of one.

The Cassiane is available at Nordstrom.com for $400.
