Queen of Pop Madonna is collaborating with Macy’s for a junior’s lifestyle collection inspired by her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes. The collection will include apparel, handbags, footwear, and jewelry with prices ranging from $12 to $40. Lourdes is said to be involved with the line, attending design meetings with Macy’s executives. The junior’s collection is expected to be available in stores around the time students are heading back to school. But that isn’t all for Madonna. The legendary pop singer just inked a huge fashion deal that will allow her to have control in several existing brands and create her own brands. Her manager Guy Oseary and she have formed MG Icon with brand-management firm Iconix. The duo will own 50 percent stake in the company and Iconix, which owns labels like Candie’s, will own the other 50 percent.

This is what this dog was born to do; this is what I love to do: Discovering little gems of cool boys clothes in the thick woods of mediocrity.

We had a blast last Sunday, watching our little treasures rushing about in an excited frenzy, searching for the eggs. We have followed all the tips of the professional photographer Rachel Hudgins posted in my last week’s Friday Kaleidoscope: Tried to take pictures before and after the hunt, placed ourselves strategically around the locations with the massive amounts of hidden eggs, hovered over the excited kids examining their baskets’ contents. Here are the carefully filtered results.
