You may be a little disappointed with the lack of posts of late, but by mid next week, we’ll be bringing you all the interesting fashion news from around the world and more. I’ll have so much spare time to spend blogging that you’ll have to look twice or thrice a day to keep track. So stay tuned!

In the meantime… here are some newsworthy bites that have kept us amused the last few days:

  • Heidi Klum and her husband Seal may have been trashed by Karl Lagerfeld recently, but life’s a beach for the Victoria’s Secret Angel. She is set to be immortalized in Barbie plastic as part of Barbie’s Blonde Ambition Collection. So if she has any hassles from Karl, she can always just drive off in her Barbie campervan to her Malibu beach house and live happily ever after. [MyFashionLife]
  • Is she or isn’t she? Gisele Bundchen reportedly is expecting a child according to “sources”. Sigh. I wish a spokesperson for Gisele or Tom Brady would confirm it either way. [People]
  • When you think Missoni, the first thought that pops into your mind is not street footwear. But soon you will be, the Italian fashion house has teamed up with Converse to produce and distribute a line of All Star sneakers called ‘Premium Chuck Hi Missoni’. If it comes in a size small enough for women, don’t be surprised if you see women queuing up for these come Summer 2010. [WWD]
