So I was just doing some research trying to find Victoria's cardigan from the park the other day and I found both the cardigan and another photo of her wearing the exact same piece last month so this is a combined "Closet" and "Favorites" post.
Victoria was rarely spotted outside of her home without one of her two Marc Jacobs quilted leather jackets. She owns two colors - black and a hunter green - which she often paired with jeans and leggings over the first few months. Underneath the coat, she typically wears either a loose fitting tank or T-shirt.
Of course one of her own designs would obviously be a fourth time pregnancy staple. Now Victoria's dress collections are usually very slim fitted and well tailored. For the past few seasons, she has been giving different drapery methods a try and I'm sure she is very glad she did as this loose fitting knot drape dress from her spring 2011 collection has been #1 lately.
Now most people would have a hard time walking in these without a growing baby in their belly but Victoria does not fear the dramatic height of her now favorite Christian Louboutin Daffodile pumps. She has the style in three colors - basic black, custom navy crocodile, and nude. I see a possible new "Shoe of the Year" already... and it's only just about June!
Lastly, while most expectant mothers dress themselves in loose/baggy pants to make room for their growing tummy, Victoria has favored stretchy leggings instead. I think that these are a much more chic alternative to maternity pants, but that is merely my opinion. Victoria seems to really like the comfort of the stretchy material as she's worn them several times paired with her suede Louboutin Ariella Talon boots.
Soccer star David Beckham was speeding and driving recklessly before he was involved in a freeway crash that sent another driver to the hospital, according to 911 calls obtained by an entertainment website and statements from the California Highway Patrol.
Halle Berry was one of the many guest celebrities to take part in the grand finale of the Oprah Winfrey Show and to the extravaganza she wore a custom blush dress from Victoria's spring 2011 collection. The dress was slim fitted, knee length, and one shouldered with a fluttering sleeve. Of course Halle being just Halle is amazing but add in a VB dress and the end result was incredible!
Here is a quick photo of Victoria inside one of the family cars. She was out and about in LA.
How adorable is this photo of baby Scarlet relaxing in the Beckham family pool celebrating Memorial Day! She is so darn cute!!
Travelling With Your Precious Diamonds? Top Tips for Travel
By Kelvin Smith
The world has become much smaller to us as travellers and we travel at any time of the year. With flights to destinations all over the world we can now take advantage of the good weather where ever it is. Many of us love to chase the sun.
The Dreaded Packing
The worst part about planning a trip is packing your belongings in seemingly the smallest bag, case or holdall. It is tempting to take everything with us, but unfortunately when we try to squeeze too much into our allowance, our precious items can get damaged. Of course, you want to take that fabulous pair of diamond earrings that he gave you for your birthday, and your much adored diamond engagement ring, but there are some decisions to be made to safeguard your precious items. Here are some tips to keep them safe:~
• It is likely that you will be wearing your diamond engagement ring and/or wedding band, but there is no doubt that you will want to carry other jewels in your luggage. First and foremost, check that your jewellery is insured for the correct amount and your insurance covers for loss away from home and at your holiday destination. Many of us let this slip as we acquire more pieces. It is wise to do an overview of this before you travel. Have your jewellery reappraised and be sure of the current value. Values change over time, and in the current climate it is likely that your diamonds and jewellery are worth more than you think.
• If you are travelling on public transport, trains, even planes in some instances, keep jewellery with you. Have a large shoulder bag that you can easily keep your jewellery in with your other personal possessions, preferably one with a strap that goes across the body. Leaving the case or bag in which the jewellery is being kept unattended is inviting theft. Even hotel staff, who we hope are trustworthy, should not be allow to handle your precious jewels.
• When flying, keep your jewellery in your carry on board bag, and never in checked luggage. Sophisticated screening devices at airports can easily pick up objects of value. Better to have them on your person than whisked away into the luggage hold of a plane.
• Make two lists of the valuable items you are taking with you, leaving one at home with photos of the items. If by some chance a piece should get broken or is stolen or lost, you can then provide insurers with relevant information about your diamond jewellery.
• At your hotel, store jewellery in your room safe, or for really valuable items the hotel safe which is more secure than the one in your room.
• Pack your jewellery carefully. Wrap each piece separately in fabric before putting them in your jewellery case. This prevents pieces rubbing against each other which can cause scratching or breakage.
Following these simple tips should keep your diamond jewellery safe and you will feel that you have done as much as you can do to prevent loss or theft.

Avoiding Sunburn - 7 Ways to Avoid and Treat Red Skin
By Thom E Casey
There are few looks that can make us feel better about ourselves than to have nice, tan skin. On the other side, having red, sunburned skin can make one want to never again show themselves outside. Having sunburn can be an annoying, horrible process that begins with pain and itching, ending with a lot of skin peeling.
The summer is nearing closer, which means many of us will be taking the annual family trek to the beach, playing in the water and laying on the sand, soaking in all the rays. It can feel in an open area like there is nothing you can do to protect yourselves, but there are many precautions you can take in order to prevent getting burnt. Here are 10 moves you can make to ensure your skin gets bronzed, not torched:
1. Use an appropriate sunblock
Sunblock (or sunscreen) is ranked by sun protection factor (SPF). The higher the SPF number, the more protection from the ultraviolet radiation that causes sunburn. You should select an SPF based on your skin type and the activities you participate in. If you've used sunscreen but are still getting burned, upgrade to a higher SPF since the lotion is probably absorbing too quickly into your skin.
2. Visit a tanning salon
A few visits to your nearby tanning salon is another option. Having a base tan before hitting the beach will help you to avoid nasty burns.
3. Get some shade
The weather is beautiful, but there can be too much of a good thing. Taking a break from laying on the sand is a great precaution. Be sure to take trips indoors, or even sitting under an umbrella or wearing a wide-brimmed hat can help avert red skin. Staying indoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun is at its brightest, is another possible move.
4. Take a shirt along
It does seem like heresy to wear a shirt at the beach, but wearing one intermittently will help you.
We've all gotten sunburned. It can be a source of irritation to summer fun, so here are three recommendations to treat your fried epidermis:
1. Take medication
Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medicines will help reduce inflammation and discomfort. These medications, however, should not be given to children.
2. Apply cream
If you're not experiencing blisters, then a moisturizing cream can help soothe the pain. Put it in the fridge before use and the comfort will be increased.
3. Avoid hot water
Taking a hot shower or bath can increase the pain. Running lukewarm water will help expedite the healing process.
