Tory Burch's New Lawsuit: Tory Burch, fresh off of legal woes with her ex-husband Chris Burch, has now turned her attention to a new alleged offender, WWD reports. Her company has now reportedly taken legal action against Bluebell Wholesale Inc., a producer of cheap novelty jewelry and accessories. A spokesperson for Burch told WWD that they discovered Bluebell selling “unauthorized reproductions” of the brand’s famous ‘TT’ insignia. Burch officials reportedly hired an investigator to order goods from the company, which yielded necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets that were "strikingly similar to Burch's own." Bluebell did not respond to WWD’s request for comment. [WWD]

Minnie Mouse's New Look: Minnie Mouse finally made her Parisian fashion debut over the weekend at Disneyland Paris, where she was dressed by Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz. Her new jeweled royal blue dress may be the thing of fashion royalty, but it was not well received by onlookers. “It’s definitely more mature. It looks a bit mother of the bride. I preferred polka dots,” one spectator told the AP. This fashion Minnie’s curvy figure was left intact unlike the ‘skinny Minnie’ version that Barneys New York devised for their 2012 holiday campaign. [AP]
