Designers did some serious bedazzling on spring 2012 collections. Dolce & Gabanna used glittering gemstones, Elie Saab used thousands of glittering sequins, and Balmain decorated his structured separates with shimmering studs. You can brighten clothes, shoes and bags with spring-savvy embellishments in three easy steps. You’ll need:

1. Rhinestones, sequins or glitter of your choice. You can buy Swarovski crystals online in big batches, in almost any color. Crystals2love.com sells 144 piece packs for around $7. You can also buy plastic stones at stores like Michael’s, and A.C Moore (which is also the best place for glitter). Depending on the amount and the grain of the glitter, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4-$10 dollars.

2. Adhesive. what you’ll use depends on your project. For glitter, a paint-on adhesive like Mod Podge is perfect; for rhinestones or sequins, using a hot glue gun will give you the best results. 3. Chalk.
How you’ll do it:
1. Plan first. Using chalk, gently trace your pattern (check out our fav mega-embellished spring collections in the slideshow below) on your garment or accessory. When you work with glitter, make sure you lay out plenty of newspaper so you can catch and save what you don’t use.
2. For glitter, paint a thin layer of Modge Podge and tap out a generous amount of glitter onto your piece. For Sequins or Rhinestones, dot the back of each rhinestone or sequin with glue separately. Don’t draw lines with glue! You’ll wind up with hard, tacky, streaks that your stones won’t stick to.
3. Be patient. This is probably the most important step! Embellishing by hand can take days and you shouldn’t rush the process. If you take your time, you’ll have a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind piece that would fit right in on the 2012 runway.

From giving undercover menswear advice to Fendi to secretly learning how to design women’s shoes at Giuseppe Zanotti, Kanye West is quite the fashion guru—at least according to the life story that he tweeted between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m. London time this morning. His two-hour tirade included snippets of his illustrious fashion career that has been, until now, largely kept under wraps. Hip hop superstar by day, couture genius by night, Kanye allegedly spent a month in Japan, interning with Fendi before spending another four months passing them secret tips for their menswear line. He was also offered a position at Versace but had to turn it down due to a two-year contract with Louis Vuittion, where he’s designed sneakers in the past. It seems like Kanye felt like he had to defend himself after a fake twitter account that claimed to be the official handle for his fashion line surfaced. He made sure to mention that he isn’t only a seasoned designer, but a self-made one as well. According to him, he has no financial backers for his collection but “did the first fashion show out of my own pocket and used the money I made touring to follow my passion.” Want more details? ELLE.com‘s got the play by play.

- Christina Aguilera has had a rough time in the media lately due to the constant critique regarding her body. But Christina refuses to let it get to her, she fights back instead! "I have a boyfriend that loves my body," she says. "I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters." When it comes to body image, Christina is an amazing role model, "women, we are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny," she says and continues, "As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need." We couldn't agree more! It's nice to see that Christina has such a healthy self image! (people)
