SCOUT WILLIS CELEBRATES HER 18TH BDAY

Scout LaRue Willis 18th Birthday

What can I say, but that...

I love the night life, I got to boogie. I'm always having the most amazing time at whatever event I'm attending. But, its rare that I am impressed on the level of party planning and creativity that goes into ones soiree.

It's important to learn and appreciate the glamorous generations passed. Truman Capote’s legendary Black & White Ball. From the magical nights hosted by Steve Rubell at the infamous Studio 54, to Amy Sacco's ravishing rendition of The Beverly Hills Hotel at the bustling Bungalow 8.  Anna Wintour's most decadent Met Ball and lets not forget about Vanity Fair Magazine's ultra exclusive party at the Hotel Du Cap during the Cannes Film Festival.

Leave it to the sensational Scout LaRue Willis to capture the essence of Gatsby’s Roaring Twenties at her 18th Birthday party in the heart of downtown, Los Angeles.

It truly was a sight taken from Baz Lurhmann's visionary mind. Where else would Mario Testino be, other than snapping the tantalizing party guest that were in attendance (and in costume). The birthday girl had everyone gasping as she waltzed down a staircase in her second outfit change of the night. I definitely went from the Great Gatsby to the Great Gaspy.

NeverWood High would like to wish the ever so radiant Scout LaRue Willis a very special birthday!

You really RAZZLE DAZZLED'em...

THE BLACKER THE BURBERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE

I've always been inspired by Christopher Bailey, the Creative Director of Burberry. Christopher is responsible for the design of all Burberry collection lines including Burberry Prorsum, Burberry London and all Burberry licensed products globally. He is also responsible for the company’s overall image including all advertising, corporate art direction and store design and visuals.

His campaign ads have captured the magic of youth, fun, style and the essence of how it should look when having a good time.

You've seen the photos, now check out the behind-the-scenes video from Emma Watson's Burberry ad campaign!

Accompanied by a track of Razorlight's "Wire to Wire," the video chronicles the Mario Testino shoot, which took place by famed landmark Big Ben, and includes a brief interview with the Harry Potter starlet about why Burberry is a Watson family tradition.

Watson's Burberry ads are due to begin appearing in magazines next month.

Here are a couple of other videos that capture the beauty and vibrance of life that Burberry has become so legendary for.
