Are discounts are girl’s best friend?

We may soon find out because Macy’s,partnering with LF USA and Authentic Brands Group, has just launched an apparel collection that adds a modern twist to the style of  Marilyn Monroe.

The Marilyn Monroe line, featured in the windows of Macy’s flagship store in New York, is available at most Macy’s and online at macys.com. The line’s advertising campaign will feature iconic images of the legendary starlet alongside new clothing.

I passed by the windows yesterday and saw the collection. I  think the Marilyn Monroe-inspired clothes looks AMAZING! The clothes look fresh and feminine. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?

“We are thrilled to partner with the retail experts at Macy’s to bring to life one of the things Marilyn loved most – fashion,” Nick Woodhouse, president & CMO of Authentic Brands Group, said in a statement. “As one of the world’s most famous style icons, it only made sense to create a Marilyn Monroe apparel collection that represents the glamour and beauty that she is known for.”

In addition to clothing featuring silhouettes similar to Monroe’s wardrobe, the collection will also feature two cropped T-shirts with classic photos of the actress.

“Marilyn Monroe’s appeal is legendary and Macy’s is excited to launch a collection that draws inspiration from her timeless style,” Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement. “This new line takes her unique sensibility, noteworthy silhouettes and colors of the time, and reinvents them for a modern-day Marilyn Monroe that is fun-loving, flirty and not afraid to play with fashion.”

The collection will retail from $29 to $89.

Jessica Simpson Reveals Post-Baby Body!

Don’t doubt a diva! Jessica Simpson‘s hard work has paid off.

The new mom, 32, was all smiles when she sat down with Katie Couric on the debut of Katie, where she revealed her post-baby body.

“On my way to @katiecouric’s show! I’m her very first guest – Wish me luck!! #WeightWatchers,” she Tweeted before the big reveal, also sharing the photo above.

Just weeks after welcoming daughter Maxwell Drew with fiancé Eric Johnson on May 1, Simpson embarked on a weight-loss plan with Weight Watchers.

Announcing that she’s lost more than 40 lbs. since giving birth, Simpson told the talk show host, “My doctors told me [my pregnancy weight] was a lot of water, and when my water broke … All the weight did not come out with the baby. I had to stay focused on my diet. I want to be as healthy as I can because I’m a mom now.”

Simpson adds that she is currently 10 lbs. from her pre-baby weight, so moving forward, “I set small goals for myself. I’ve lost weight every week, thank God, but I’ve worked really hard. I have to shoot a new season of Fashion Star.”

A new outlook on food has helped.

“The only fish I ever ate was a fish stick,” Simpson says, adding that she also loved chips, guacamole and queso. “Now I’m trying to eat fish.”

She adds, “I definitely don’t pick up the magazines. I definitely don’t Google my name. I try to avoid it completely. But I subconsciously know the talk is going on. Every day it’s a struggle for me. Weight Watchers is not intimidating. It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle.”

Simpson, who admits she “put on more baby weight than I was planning,” isn’t ashamed of her former body.

“I have to separate myself from the world’s expectations,” she says. “I have to look inside myself. I want to be a role model.”

The new mom gave fans a sneak peek of her new figure when she was snapped by paparazzi on Sunday.

“I think anybody who’s gone through a pregnancy, after they have the baby, it’s like, ‘I need to do something about this,’ ” she told PEOPLE at the time. “For me, I really want to do something that is a lifestyle, because in the past, I’ve been known to yo-yo diet.”

Even though Simpson is getting her body back now, that doesn’t mean she’s rushing to slip into a wedding gown.

She and Johnson “have not set a date,” Simpson told Couric. “It won’t be this year. We haven’t had time. Maxwell has taken up all our time and I want a big wedding.”

Of her hubby-to-be, Simpson gushes, “People call him the best dad in the world. He can do everything. He’s just a very peaceful person.”

Is Jessica Simpson Pregnant AGAIN?

According to a new reports, Jessica Simpson‘s weight loss struggle could be due to another bun in the oven!

“Jessica could definitely be pregnant,” Dr. Dave E. David, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, told Star Magazine. Adding that some women start ovulating immediately after giving birth. Jessica’s daughter Maxwell was born in May, but according to Dr. Elizabeth Lyster, back-to-back pregnancies are surprisingly common. “Many women come into their six-week postpartum checkup already pregnant, because they assumed they couldn’t conceive again so soon,” Dr. Lyster explained.

This is exactly what happened to Tori Spelling. Two months after giving birth to daughter Hattie, Tori was surprised to find out she was expecting again.

According to Dr. David and Dr. Lyster, fertility often increases after having a baby for women who initially had trouble getting pregnant. This may apply to Jessica, who reportedly used in-vitro fertilization to conceive. If Jessica is pregnant again, she certainly won’t mind. “Pregnancy was meant for me. I could be pregnant forever,” Jessica gushed while she was pregnant with Maxwell. “I want a lot of kids.”

Jessica Simpson’s Secret Weight Loss Weapon is …?

Jessica Simpson’s battle of the post-pregnancy bulge continues.

Dressed in head-to-toe black, the new mom headed to a sweat session with trainer to the stars Harley Pasternak— who has sculpted the famous figures of celebrity mothers Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, and Hilary Duff — at a private West Hollywood gym on July 2, 2012.

The Fashion Star mentor, 31 — who reportedly tipped the scale at 210 lbs. at the height of her pregnancy — has been power-walking and hitting the gym since giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1.

Despite initial reports that Simpson is “stressed and overwhelmed” by the deal, the star insists she feels no pressure to slim down quickly. “Just so everyone knows . . . Weight Watchers hasn’t put ANY pressure on me!” tweeted Simpson, engaged to Maxwell’s dad, former NFL star Eric Johnson since fall 2010. “I’m trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great.”

The singer and fashion mogul was first spotted hitting the Pasternak in early June. After Maxwell’s birth (the baby girl weighed 9 lbs 13 oz), Simpson took time to heal from her C-section — and then it was back to the gym.
