Given its continental dimensions, it's no surprise Brazil hosts regional fashion weeks all over the country. Brasilia holds three single events itself—some showing twice a year. Capital Fashion Week, for instance, differentiates itself from most fashion shows by only allowing regional labels under its tents. Created in 2004 by Marcia Lima, CFW is now starting to collect its fruit as new local names pop up in the capital city's fashion culture. What's more, the event is becoming a reference point for ecological and social causes linked with the fashion industry.

Vanessa Hudgens was spotted grabbing a ton of take-out at Daily Grill in Studio City (so much that she needed a restaurant employee to help her carry it all to her car!) on Mother's Day, May 10, and looking adorable as ever in the process. For her Mommy's Day look, VH started with a basic black tube dress (like Lotta Stensson's Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Black) that she belted with a brown leather belt (check out Pellemelle's Palomino Belt in Brown with Gold Buckle). Hudgens then accessorized with an oversized pair of Ray-Ban aviators, brown gladiator wedges.

There is something so elegant and delicate about a birdcage veil that just can’t be duplicated by any other accessory. The way the veil delicately frames the face, obscuring it slightly without covering it completely is magical. This one is gorgeously handmade by Brenda’s Bridal Veils, and features a lovely double Swavorski rhinestone edge. I can just imagine those rhinestones glittering in the sun on a lovely Spring day. The veil comes attached to a simple clear comb, but can be customized with flowers, like the one shown, or any number of other options.

Dresses, jewelry, and shoes were available for a donation to Ozarks Food Harvest. Organizers say going green is about more than collecting cans. This puts a different spin on recycling.

Now the supercouple of Bollywood SRK and Gauri share a fabulous relationship together, but very few people know that in SRK’s heydays Gauri wanted SRK’s films to flop. Gauri reveals all this in talks with First Ladies hosts Abu Jaani and Sandeep Khosla. Read the interview below:

I love the days when I wake up and just feel perfect. My hair is right, I don’t feel fat, and I know what I have on just looks hot. Oh, and of course I didn’t mess up my eyeliner (because I am horrible at eyeliner… there’s a reason I don’t write about make-up). If you’re having a perfect day and feel like flaunting it then this D&G Supermodel tee could be the perfect topper to the day. Although, I don’t know how many “perfect” days I would have to have to justify spending $125 on this 100% crewneck top that has ” “Supermodel” ” written on it in what looks to be a big bold and boring almost sans serif font (fact of the day…sans serif means without feet.).
