Kelly Ripa is best known as Regis' hilarious and loveable sidekick on "Regis and Kelly." But if you don't watch the show you wouldn't know she's also a loving mother of three. Here she proves her love by taking the kiddies out to a special screening of new children's movie "Fly Me to the Moon" in New York on July 31.

But we aren't heard to discuss parenthood now are we? What we can say is that Kelly has 100% mastered the art of pairing a dress with shoes. Here she looks just (insert corny joke) "peachy" in her eye popping gown. Her look is youthful yet age approp....ah to hell with it! She is just a MILF with great style, period. End article.

You know Felix Ray from Sex in the City, and you've seen Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton carrying bags with the signature bow.

Usually you have to go to Kitson, Henri Bendel, or Saks and pay $200 or more for a Felix Ray bag. But you can pick up this pretty Small Metal Mesh Bow clutch for a mere $36 at the "Rolls Royce of all garage sales."

It gets better! The proceeds go to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. So you're not shopping, you're donating!

In the 80s, did you have grey jazz shoes? Or are we showing our age? Maybe it's a little fashion nostalgia, but we're kinda into grey again.

This spring grey has been everywhere, from shoes to nails to dresses. We're loving the subtle and sophisticated ways the shade is being used, with creativity far beyond gym shorts and heathered wool sweaters. Grey is showing up in patent leather and organic cotton and everything in between.

When worn right, grey can be incredibly polished and flattering. Of course, some things are still better in color. We draw the line at grey hair -- you'll find us at the salon for regular root touch ups.

Check out the gallery for seven stylish grey selections.

Fashion label Alice + Olivia (whom I love for their cute sequin pieces) is going all sporty on us. No, they aren't taking the Stella McCartney route with a line for a major sporting brand like Adidas or Nike. They are incorporating yoga pieces into their newest collection.

As a big fan of Ashtanga (a type of yoga) I was curious, so I checked out their website for more details, but it is under construction. I checked the next best place, ShopBop.com. ShopBop did have pieces from their "yoga" collection. Why the quotations? Maybe because these so called "yoga" pieces just look like regular clothes to me that were just re-branded to target a new audience.

Some pieces from the collection include bodysuits, leggings, and tanks with prices starting in the $68 zone. I have a few problems with this. First of all, bodysuits? The last time I wore a bodysuit was in the third grade ... during ballet class. I cringe at the notion of wearing a bodysuit to yoga! Can you imagine the pain of the bodysuit, um, riding up? Ouch. The second problem I have is paying over $20 for leggings I plan on sweating in. Leggings for fashion is another story, but being drenched in sweat doing downward dog in $68 cropped "yoga leggings" doesn't do it for me. I will just stick to my cheap target leggings and sports bras.

*Oh and don't you just love how ShopBop has the model in heels while modeling yoga pants?
