Wooo whooo!  Good news for eco-conscious fashionista out there, Ferragamo has gone green.   Yup you read it right.  The luxury brand has created an green line for their line of eco-friendly handbags – dubbed Eco Ferragamo.  The handbags will be made from nontoxic tanning techniques, dyed with dyes from natural elements such as tree bark, and lined with handwoven hemp.  The bags are also water-resistant as well as biodegradable.  The line will carry bags ranging from small totes to maxi hobos.   However, there will only be three colors available – grapefruit pink, lemon yellow, and tobacco brown.  Bags will retail for $1,190 to $1,890.  The line will debut in February.

Cate Blanchett looks absolutely stunning on the cover and in the pages of the February issue of Vanity Fair.  On the cover, the Australian screen queen is gorgeous in a golden dress.  In the issue, the 39-year old actress offers her views on plastic surgery and Hollywood, she also talks about the possibility of adding to the brood of three sons she has with husband, Andrew Upton.

• On plastic surgery: “I haven’t done anything, but who knows. [My husband] Andrew [Upton] said he’d divorce me if I did anything.  When you’ve had children, your body changes; there’s history to it. I like the evolution of that history; I’m fortunate to be with somebody who likes the evolution of that history. I think it’s important to not eradicate it.”
• On keeping a careful distance from Hollywood: “I don’t exist in that world. I observe it, but there’s so much else to be thinking about. Maybe it’s because I’m with someone who’s not with me because of that; I’m not a trophy. He likes the vessel, but he also wants to make sure the vessel is full. The world of film can be so noisy, but the other aspects of my life are actually the noisiest parts of my life. My best friends are a social worker and a visual artist.”
• On not ruling out more babies: “Who knows? Don’t close those doors. The world is very overpopulated, but we do make nice ones. They all look like [my husband Andrew Upton]. To say he has dominant genes would be an understatement.”
• On signing a three-year contract with Australia’s leading theater: “Andrew had worked closely with the company, and when the idea came up he was wondering if it was something we wanted to do together. The opportunity presented itself, and it would have been utter I’m not a spokesperson against the world of injectables. If you grow up in an environment where your mother gets you a boob job when you turn 18, what hope is there? But I didn’t grow up in that world. The reason I went to train as an actor was that I was interested in it for the long haul. You can become very self-obsessed, but you’ve got to keep looking outward.”

Have you heard?  The FDA has just approved Latisse.  From the maker of Botox, Latisse is an eyelash thickening agent that is meant for people suffering from hypotrichosis of the eyelashes – people who have too few lashes or none at all.

But before you get all happy and start daydreaming about long luscious lashes, you might want to hear the side effects – eye redness, itchy eyes, potentially permanent darkening of the iris, and itchy eyes.  The active ingredient in Latisse is bimatroprost, which is the ingredient used in glaucoma treatments.  Latisse probably works, since I know that as a side effect of glaucoma treatments, many patients “suffer” from extra long lashes.  You know, even though it works, I don’t think that I’ll be trying it just yet, for now I’ll stick with mascara, false lashes, or even extensions.  But if you have hypotrichosis of the eyelashes, it might be worth it.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore the Preen minidress while on the Iron Man promotional tour.  Gemma Arterton wore the little black number to the British Academy Children’s Awards a couple month after Paltrow.  So who do you think rocked it better?

Anne Hathaway is beaming with a wide smile on the cover of Vogue’s January 09 issue.  She looks great in the issue, but then again I’ve been partial to her ever since The Princess Diaries.  Inside the magazine, she opens up about her ex:

“I was a 21-year-old kid when I met him. It wasn’t a huge, dramatic breakup. We were in the process of winding it down when he was arrested. I don’t talk about this, except when I’m asked. It’s not a part of my life anymore. It’s a complicated situation that has the ability to define me in ways I am not comfortable with.”

Catch Anne’s next movie, Bride Wars, co-starring Kate Hudson, in January.

The Hayden-Harnett for Target collection hit stores today, December 28.  The Brooklyn-based accessories designers teamed up with the discount retailer to put fourth a collection of purses and an umbrella.  The purses mostly typical neutrals of blacks and browns, but there’s a print thrown in here and there.  Hayden-Harnett’s signature tough style is still prevalent as it is apparent with the brass hardwares, chains, and grommets.
