The Celebrity Poker craze has taken the world by storm! When your favorite stars aren’t making movies or music they love to unwind in casinos and play poker. Celebs love the rush of high stakes poker. That REAL money poker.  It’s great when you hit that winning streak,..but rumor has it that Jay Z lost half a mil on one hand in Vegas!! Other Hollywood high rollers include: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Tilly, Leonardo Di Caprio, Shannon Elizabeth & Tobey Maguire.

According to ABC, Ben Affleck was the first celeb to win a major open poker tournament. Last year, he beat out 90 players in the California State Poker Championship and won almost $400,000! The craze has also taken reality tv by storm. Over the past few years, there have been several shows dedicated to poker, specifically celebrity poker including: Celebrity Poker Showdown, Hollywood Poker Night, Poker Royale, Poker Superstars and the list goes on. Poker looks like a blast to play..and if you have the money..why not have some fun? You can even get some practice with online poker!  It doesn’t look like this poker craze is going anywhere anytime soon!

Celebs always know how to have a good time. When they want to get away from the hustle & bustle of Hollywood and NYC, they hit Vegas! Many celebs are lucky enough to combine business with pleasure earning big bucks to host and party at famous nightclubs & lounges. A few months ago Charlie Sheen was reportedly offered $200,000 to host a party for one night, plus luxury jet & hotel …now that’s #winning! Speaking of hotels, if you want to stalk err be sure to have some sightings, a few celebrity hot spots include The Venetian, Hard Rock Hotel, Caesars Palace , The Palms & MGM Grand. The Wet Republic at MGM is a popular spot for pool parties and a favorite for celebs like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Diddy.  After the pool party, its time for some gambling. Celebrities love to drop dough on casino games.

These high rollers love playing poker, craps, and can spend hours unwinding at the blackjack table. Some have been known to spend over $5,000 or MORE per hand!  Partying, gambling, sipping on expensive champagne. The sky seems to be the limit with these stars. Although we aren’t celebs we all can still have an amazing time in sin city. I was there two weeks celebrating my birthday. I even got to see Kim Kardashian’s fiance, Kris Humphries and a crew filming at The Venetian! If you want to unwind, and party like a rockstar you too can paint the town in Vegas.

Cassie makes a cameo in Calvin Klein’s new CK One fragrance promo.  This promo is very 90s looks like it was a blast..

Take a peek inside Kimora Lee’s lavish closet. The stylish mogul has always been known to be over the top, it seems she has obtained shoes from every designer known to man, and bags in every color and size..lol. Her closet is a dream! I love it!

Boasting a staggering selection of luxury bags – including a tote she says “Chanel didn’t even know they had” – and sky scraping heels, the six-foot star’s wardrobe is only out-blinged by an hourglass containing 5,000 diamonds

What to get your guy for Valentine’s Day by Mac Smith

edited by Trin

Well look at you, little lady, you got yourself a Valentine but now you’re wondering what the heck to get the man in your life? On a day made up of baby’s breath, candy hearts and sweet little stuffed bears, it can be a real struggle to find a gift that reads “I love you, man”, but here are a few suggestions no matter what relationship you have with both your guy and your credit card.

Crush
Ok you like him and he likes you. Or at least you think he does. It’s kinda too early to tell. You’ve only gone on a few dates. Heck, you haven’t even been to his apartment yet (or maybe you have, naughty girl).  What do you get someone when your “getting to know you” phase collides with this saintly holiday of amour? The renaissance of bright, playful color was a fresh trend for Spring 2011 and what better way to celebrate a new season and a new gentleman caller.

I’m good:  A cool pair of shades by RetroSuperFuture ($174, Oak) is a casual present for a new interest while showing off that you’re at the forefront of cool brands and the latest trends. He’ll think you very savvy.

I got rent to pay: These platton headphones from UrbanEars ($60, Amazon) come in a rainbow of colors and are a great conversation starter about mutual music interests.

Going Steady

You and your boo have crossed the one year mark and are pretty integrated in each other’s lives. Good for you. Why not offer up a cozy little piece like the many cardigans and layered long sleeves seen on the Spring 2011 men’s runways?

I’m good:  A cardigan that plays nice no matter what the season: layer it warm for those last Winter chills and then leave it loose and unbuttoned for Spring with a patterned t-shirt. The little heart Play logo is just a cute coincidence. Comme des Garcons Play lambs wool cardigan, $350 American Rag Cie.

I got rent to pay: Nobody interprets runway trends into chic comfortable basics like J. Crew.  A French terry top with a relaxed lived in feel in a fresh heathered salmon is a great way to say “Hey boy, meet you on the couch for a movie and a snuggle.” J. Crew sun-faded washed French terry crewneck, $70 at J. Crew stores and online.

Wifey Material

Years later he’s still the man and you wanna give him a little something something to show your affection.  Why not present him with a gift inspired by the various Spring 2011 menswear collections centered on the erogenous zone of the neck to say thank you for sticking with me and sticking your neck out for me.

I’m good: A  Hermès scarf is a pricey piece of silk, yes, but like your man it’s for life and gets better with time. Many Spring 2011 menswear runways showed silk scarves casually knotted up with jackets and linen shirts.  Dressed up or down, you’ll love your guy’s polish. Hermès silk “Imprimeur Fou” scarf, $385 at Hermès.

I got rent to pay: No matter what runway you looked at, there was a model with a large neck tattoo. Now a tattoo is a well known relationship jinx, but this tattoo gun necklace is a clever nod to the trend that’s easy to take off. Plus a man with a single metal necklace is kinda irresistible. Spaulding & Rogers solid sterling silver tattoo gun necklace, $17 at Huck Spaulding Enterprises.

Mac Smith is a fashion writer and stylist (clients over the last 6 years include InStyle, Marie Claire, UK Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, L’Oreal, Macy’s and many others) who started the  blog, “It Can’t All Be Dior”, in 2010 to document his life in New York and  love of good fashion and design. His other full time job is manager of media relations and social media for designer resale chain, Roundabout Resale, in New York and Connecticut. He’s also a great friend : )

Diddy is set to host another HOT party..this time he’s kicking off the Superbowl!  Tickets range from $500-$25,000. Yea you read it right. So big spenders, here is what $25,000 will get you: A stage-adjacent private cabana which includes 20 VIP tickets, five champagne and 10 premium bottles, open bar, an event hostess, appetizers, dessert, VIP entrance adjacent to red carpet and VIP valet parking. The party is from 9pm to 3am at the Tower Building in Fair Park…Dallas, TX. Tickets can be purchased at capitalAent.com

1 reader will win a 3.4 oz bottle!

Addictively bold and intriguing, this is the scent that accentuates the beauty of a woman. A sparkling burst of citrus opens this brilliant fragrance and melts in your senses with fresh, watery tropical fruits and a touch of pink peony. Peel the floral layers away and discover the sensual, feminine core of this fragrance. Apple blossoms and sultry rose sprinkled with a sweet taste of coconut flakes for extra flavor await in the heart. After this all unfolds, the creamy sandalwood and cedarwood notes drift in the background while golden amber and velvet musks linger on the skin like the last kiss of the night.

Siz-Mik Aparrel was launched in 2009 but is already on the rise.  Siz-Mik  has been featured in Red Cafe’s video, Who You Hatin on Lately? The urban line of skate/surf wear was founded by CJ- Allen Jones after he graduated college from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Derived from the word “seismic” which means to have a strong and widespread impact. “I wanted to create a movement from the ground up building an empire that consists of individuals who are humble and hungry. Siz-Mik to me consists of something that is larger than life, massive and powerful. The one thing that is larger than life in this world is our minds and nothing is going to stop me from dreaming the impossible.”
