Fashionistas can’t seem to get enough of this season’s hottest swimsuit trend!

Celebrities are a vision in white as they beat the heat and flaunt their figures in an itty bitty white bikini. Whether they’re frolicking around on the beach or laying pool-side with friends, white suits are trending this summer.

Just weeks before splitting with her ex-fiancé Jay Cutler, Kristin Cavallari kept the trend alive as she and Cutler spent the day in Miami soaking up the sun while flaunting her tiny figure in a skimpy bikini.

Other fashion icons, such as Whitney Port and Gretchen Rossi, have been added to the list of celebs that have made white suits look amazing this summer. Check out the gallery to see which other celebs are having fun in the sun in this summer’s hottest trends.

Norway mass-killer seeks show-trial celebrity


Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik appears before an Oslo judge on Monday, seeking show-trial celebrity as the once placid Nordic nation mourns the 93 weekend victims lying in city morgues.  The 32-year-old self-styled white 'Jihadist' will make his first appearance in a downtown court around 1:00 pm (1100 GMT), for arraignment over a bombing and shooting spree that marked the country's worst violence since World War II.  The key initial decision to be taken by the judge is whether to order the hearing staged behind closed doors -- away from prying media eyes the world over.  But as a deeply scarred nation of five million returns to work following the devastating blitz of explosives and automatic gunfire, Behring Breivik's lawyer told state television his client wanted a circus.  "He has two wishes: the first is that the hearing is public, and the second is that he may attend in uniform," Geir Lippestad told broadcasters NRK, in a chilling echo of a 1,500-page manifesto distributed moments before his client let rip on Friday.  The tract ends with gun-toting pictures of the steely-eyed Nordic in pre-WWI military get-up.  At least seven people died in an initial blast outside the prime minister's office, in a calculated distraction for police allowing Behring Breivik to mow down 86 more -- mainly youths on the island of Utoeya, 40 kilometres away (25 miles). Others remain unaccounted.  The mostly teenaged victims on the island were attending a gathering of the main ruling Labour party's youth leaders.  Names and photographs are to be released shortly, and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has called for a minute's silence to be held across the nation at noon on Monday.  The list is expected to include offspring of senior ruling party figures. A teary-eyed Stoltenberg labelled the aggressor "evil" during tributes at a memorial mass attended by Norway's royal family and thousands of worshippers on Sunday.  The premier, who will also unveil a public book of condolences on Monday alongside King Harald V and Queen Sonja at the University of Olso, has admitted he knew personally many of the dead.  Behring Breivik currently has only the status of 'official suspect,' meaning he will not learn actual charges until the investigation is concluded with police still hunting for possible accomplices.  But his attacks -- he has admitted the facts, although not "criminal responsability," according to interrogators -- have triggered calls for Norway to reinstate the death penalty,  The maximum prison sentence in Norway is 21 years, meaning -- if found guilty -- the accused could be awarded just 82 days per killing.  Norway famously shot wartime Nazi collaborating leader Vidkun Quisling for high treason in 1945, three years before the last execution in the home of the Nobel Peace Prize.  The murderous "crusade" unleashed by Behring Breivik, who acknowledged in his tract that he would be deemed a "monster," was designed to end a centuries-long Muslim colonisation of Europe, it said.  Although the killer told investigators he acted alone, prosecutors stressed they had yet to uncover a motive -- despite the manifesto claims.  Part diary, bomb-making manual and Islamophobic rant, the decade-long "compendium" detailing the self-styled Knight Templar's "martyrdom operation" includes a call for believers to spawn as many children as possible in order to generate a pool of future European Jihadists in a Christian war he likens to a medieval crusade.  During weekend interrogation, Behring Breivik told police that Europe's deadliest attacks since the 2004 Madrid bombings, carried out by the Al-Qaeda terror network, were "cruel" but "necessary."  Nevertheless, lawyer Lippestad said his client felt he had done "nothing reprehensible."  Police have faced loud criticism over the hour it took them to reach the island, during which victims -- some shot again in the head to make sure they were dead, according to witnesses -- perished at the rate of more than one per minute.

2011 Hot Trends in Hair Style and Color 2011, hot, trends, in, hair, style, and, color

This season the hairstyle colors are all about making women look seductive and feminine; and if you are the one who believes in taking care of your hair the natural way, then make sure you explore the natural hair dye options.
The wild girl

A loose braid on one side of your head, carelessly done will give you a mysterious but also wild air. Perfect for blondes, this hairstyle calls for volume, highlights and hairspray. So make sure you choose only the best hair products.

Tight curls

Making a huge comeback, well defined, Marilyn Monroe-esque curls will give you a seductive air. Hair mousse, gel and conditioner, plus a high quality curler will do the trick. This hairstyle does justice to any hair color and it is perfect for short to medium length hairstyles.

Pony tail

Slick pony tails remain in trend. Straight hair and glossy hairspray can help you achieve a fast and practical hairstyle fitting any lady with long hair. If you love this style and plan to use it in the evening, make sure you curl the tail to add a bit of glamor to your look.
Sumo bun

The name may sound a little off, but the style is actually very simple. The impression you will create will be a fresh and girly one. And this hairstyle may save you a lot of trouble when you are in a hurry.

Braids and volume

Givenchy recommends volume and complex braiding for this year. Such a hairstyle is perfect for stylish events and gives a sophisticated air to any woman who wears it.

So far color goes, following four are the major trends this spring:
1. Lighter

Feminine and sophisticated, the combination of light shades talks of innovation. Asymmetric cuts, precisely trimmed bangs give a sense of purity, a natural fluidity, complementing features. The hair shines like a mirror in nuances that start from golden and pink, move through silver and platinum and glide towards copper. Blonde is no longer just a blonde.

2. Natural glamor

Inspired by nature and dedicated to the modern women who love natural look, this style brings a tribal inspired overlay of textures, volume and gold mixed with rich browns. Blonde insertions here and there will make the hair shine in the sunlight.

3. Passion flame

As the name itself says, the color talks about burning feelings. Rihanna was the first to approach this vibrant red. The color is surely unique, complex and sensual but a little hard to maintain.

4. Power of contrast

Whether it is the haircut or the color combination, the contrast is surely something else. It is a spring trend celebrating the modern, daring woman, independent through a hairstyle defined by elegant lines and a perfect finish. The perfect combination is vibrant black with shiny silver. This heavy contrast will enhance the graphic cut of the hairstyle.
