The last time we all heard from Avril Lavigne was when she announced about her upcoming Black Star fragrance a few months ago, after getting busy with her tweens’ clothing line: Abbey Dawn.  But Avril is taking things one step at a time.  This time, she announced that she’s also about to launch a children’s line -and by that we mean for girls younger than tweens under the Abbey Dawn label.

As reported by People.com, the clothing line will feature a cuddlier version of Ms. Lavigne’s rock and roll attitude, consisting of layered tees with “friendly skull graphics” (err… okay) and comfortable leggings.  Word is, there’s gonna be cute zebra hoodies with ears to add the ‘cute’ factor.

We really have no idea where this clothing line will go, but we’ll give this one a chance.  It’s gonna be interesting to see zebra ears and friendly skulls for a change.  The clothing line will be launched two weeks from now, so we’ll keep you updated.

Ah Avril Lavigne.

We don’t really know how to react to this, ‘coz Avril Lavigne apparently hasn’t stopped her attempt to break into the fashion world.  We haven’t even start to absorb her AbbeyDAWN cloting line yet and now here comes another fashion and beauty venture from the rocker.  The Canadian rock starlet launched Black Star, a fresh and edgy perfume for young girls, which features notes of pink hibiscus, black plum and dark chocolate.

Avril said, “I wanted to make sure it was really me – me in a bottle,” referring to the black and pink packaging.  Tweens everywhere will love the bottle because it has a studded ring around its neck, inspired by punk-style jewelry, and this can be removed and worn as a ring or a pendant.  “The inspiration came from my love of studded belts and studded bracelets. [Black Star] means it’s cool to be a black star, to be unique and to be different.”

Avril Lavigne’s Black Star perfume was launched in London last Tuesday and it consists of 15, 30, 50 and 100 ml eaux de parfum, with prices ranging from $21.80 to $66.70.  You can also get Black Star shower gels, body lotions and deodorant sprays.

Black Star will be launched in the U.S. this fall.  Are you anxious?
