We guess it's safe to say that we've all gotten just a little tired of the whole eco-friendly trend currently riding strong in fashion.

While we support any initiative that incorporates well-made clothing and benefits the earth we all share, the sight of one more graphic tee with a green message may very well cause us to bypass our recycle bin and throw our newspapers in the trash can tomorrow morning. OK. Not really. But we're kind of annoyed, to say the least.

Ladies, we think you'll agree that most of us have encountered a situation in which we could have used a fresh pair of panties handy. Perhaps your monthly visitor came a few days early and you're stuck at work, or you're on a trip and the airline lost your luggage (including clean undies). Or, maybe it's laundry day and your biggest crush asked you out, and you don't feel like having dinner in the granny panties you scrounged up this morning.

Steampunk is a counter-intuitive sci-fi concept. It's about the future, but set in the past, usually Victorian era England. The technology is pre-digital and steam-powered, but it's also quite modern and computer-driven. Analog computers, that is, that float over cities on dirigibles. See? Confusing. Let's stick to the aesthetics of it.

If you enjoyed the look of City of Lost Children, Van Helsing, Howl's Moving Castle or Lemony Snicket, then you like steampunk. One of the most distinctive visual characteristics is a quasi-Victorian mechanism, with lots of polished brass and clockworks.

Interested? Well, before you pull out the superglue and renovate your laptop, start by decorating yourself with some mechanically beautiful necklaces, cufflinks, earrings and brooches from Rivkasmom on Etsy. They really capture the essence of steampunk, with clocks, trains, balloons, and so much shiny brass! The items are all handmade, original designs, and one of a kind, so if you see something you like in the gallery, rush over to Etsy before some steampunk beats you to it!

We bought the pale gold Willa strappy sandal at Target ($13.99) on a whim one day and they have proven themselves to be the best sandals we've bought in a long while -- perhaps ever.

Never since our tweenage obsession with Jellies have we ever been so enamored of a pair of shoes, and we shed our flip-flops only for them. We love wearing them with our dark-denim shorts and a white blazer, or with a black dress and a long gold necklace. The soles are deceptively soft and padded, the straps don't slip or cut into your feet, and even an unexpected summer shower could not make our feet slide around inside them. We are urban warriors, and they are our chariots. The Willa sandal is a truly great summer shoe.

Shoppers of Nordstom's Anniversary Sale, July 18-August 3, know there's great deals across all the departments. Unfortunately, there's also massive crowds, eager for a trip to Deal City.

Our solution: get in on the sale action with a pre-order to lock in exclusive cosmetics and scents from the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Trish McEvoy, Shiseido, Viktor + Rolf, Hermes and Kiehl's. The beauty sale is based around items you won't find anywhere else, limited editions, special sets and collectible items.

Pre-orders can be made in store, or via the website, and ship when the sale officially kicks off. So, as if you needed an excuse to pick up Prada's Infusion D'Iris, or Bulgari's Eau Parfumee au Vert Coffret, this looks like the time to make a move.

Last month, we tipped Audrey Tautou to play Chanel in a new biopic of the French designer. Now we can confirm the rumors are true.

Tautou will play Chanel in a new movie to be called Coco avant Chanel (which means "Coco before Chanel" and which will focus on Coco's formative years, before she became known for her classic sense of style and her wonderful taste in smells). We didn't know much about the fashion legend's early life, but according to Variety, she learned to sew during her time in a Catholic orphanage after the death of her parents, and earned the nickname Coco after performing as a cabaret dancer - there's some perfect biopic material, right there.

Variety also reports that Tautou was (understandably, being the most famous hip and beautiful young Frenchwoman in Hollywood) the only choice for the role.

Suffice it to say, Kate Moss didn't kick off 2008 as smoothly as she would have liked to.

First, rumors began swirling that she would be replaced as the face of Rimmel by a younger and more sober Brit. Next, she was dethroned by Agyness Deyn as Tatler's best dressed. And more recently, she complained about be stalked by two crazed fans. Eek!

Unless you look like Angelina Jolie circa 1999, it can be hard to get excited about swimsuits, and exposing so much naked flesh to the beach/world. But if we did get worked up about hot new swimwear, we would be tipping designers Damion Fuller and Fern Levack (aka: design house Hot Bondi Swim) as the people to watch.


The talented Aussie couple showed their swimwear designs at Rosemount Australian fashion week for the first time this year, and to their surprise, they have been asked to show in Miami in July as well -- one of only twenty design teams to receive an invite. "My immediate reaction was to pour a good stiff drink!" Fuller told Australian Vogue.

What qualities would your perfect bra have? Of course, it would have to provide proper support and be comfortable. And, it would need convertible straps so it can be worn with just about anything. It needs to cut low enough for you to wear your deepest neckline, but still provide a seamless appearance under a clingy t-shirt. It should lift and separate, but not so much that it makes your breasts look fake. Oh, and it should be a little sexy, too.

Are we forgetting anything? Because it turns out that building the perfect bra is a lot more scientific than we had realized.

Yeah, probably. But this is still technically an "accusation," so there's no official word on whether or not the new Ugly Betty guest star will be spending time behind bars.

Our favorite part of this story is that LiLo didn't "accidentally" walk out with this from some ritzy Beverly Hills boutique. Instead she ripped off the coat from some woman she was partying with.

Building a fake New York City in the back lots of LA is expensive and difficult -- not to mention ridiculously unnecessary when there's a perfectly good real NYC only a few thousand miles away. Apparently, Ugly Betty's producers have finally caught on to this revolutionary concept, and insiders say the whole production is headed for the East Coast. No more green screens of New York skylines or LA streets dressed up to look like New York -- next season's Ugly Betty will be shot in the real Gotham.

We're a little confused over why they even started filming the show in LA, except maybe that they didn't expect the show to last 2 seasons, but they were obviously dead wrong. Now that they're looking at the long-term, ABC execs are looking for ways to cut down costs and still get that authentic New York vibe. We think they'll be happy with their decision. New Yorkers Vanessa Williams and Ana Ortiz are probably happy about it too.

Ever since Kristen's post about the groddy bottoms of our handbags, we've been twitchy and worked up about keeping our bag off the floor.

The experience made us realize that in most restaurants/bars/movie theaters there is no where to put your bag besides holding it on your lap. And if you're a big bag gal, like most of us, that's an awkward and uncomfortable position.

Much to our delight, this weekend a friend pulled a beautiful little enameled disk out of her bag, gave it a quick twist and voila, a personal bag hook for the table.

We demanded the details, which we're glad to share here. It's called a Luxe Link, it comes in several designs and in it's own little pouch so it's easy to carry in your bag. You can buy it online for $35.

Hey, this could make a great Mother's Day gift -- all moms have bags, right?

Sure, sales weren't exactly stellar, and Posh's meager PR efforts weren't helping the situation -- but this is a new low! The Spice Girl's dVb jeans (you know, the ones that don't show off your bulge), were going for upwards of $290 at trendy LA boutiques. Now, however, they're lining the racks of Loehmann's, an "off-price specialty retailer" (read: the discount store for clothes that nobody wants).

And it's not just a couple pairs, either. An accomplice for gossip queen Perez Hilton found entire racks full of them in a Roseda, CA store -- all priced at a considerably more affordable $69.99.
