So your eyes need a little help, huh? Don't be miffed that you need glasses -- celebrate! This gives you a whole extra accessory to wear! Especially if you just need reading glasses and don't have to wear a specific prescription -- reading glasses are not terribly expensive, and you can find some amazing frames to show off your personal style.

I don't know about you but I've got spring fever in the worst way. The weather is heating up and I just want to rip my clothes off. Sometimes it's nice to have something sexy under it all isn't it? I am in love with this sexy piece of lingerie by Betsey Johnson.

Ever since Betsey has started her lingerie line I can't get enough of it. Betsey has abandoned some of her cutsier pieces and replaced them with pure sex appeal. Go for her racy teddies or pretty in pink garter belts. No matter what you choose you will be ready to please this spring.

If Betsey isn't your style (read: not trashy enough for you), maybe you need to head to Trashy Lingerie. Trashy Lingerie is an L.A. based shop that also has an online boutique. This shop is not for the faint of heart because that stuff is freaky! The carousel collection is my personal favorite because it looks like a sexy ball of cotton candy exploded in a lingerie shop.

Oh, if only we all had the gumption to waltz into ridiculously-priced LA boutiques, make demands, and then storm out with stuff that was never for sale in the first place.

And so goes the latest story in the saga of Britney Spears. The former pop star turned mothering disaster recently decided she needed to have a copy of her favorite Dolce and Gabbana dress -- now. So she strolled into the Betsey Johnson boutique on Melrose Ave with the dress in hand, and proceeded to ask the store manager to make her a copy she'd be able to wear that evening.

The staff tried to explain to Britney that she was asking for the impossible -- but instead of coming to her senses, apologizing, and walking out like a normal person, Spears then decided that she wanted to buy a yellow wig off one of the store mannequins. It wasn't for sale -- which, again, was explained to the celebri-psycho -- but the manager finally relented and sold Britney the fake coiffure for $100 (probably just to make her go away).

Bad news: Britney Spears is still totally nuts. Good news: we'll probably get to see her in a bright yellow wig, which will be hysterical.

Anyone who knows me (in real life or on the web) knows that I love Betsey Johnson. It's not just love thing, it's a full on obsession. I have been wearing Betsey Johnson clothes for years; I even worked at two of her boutiques. I am a Betsey girl for life so you can imagine my surprise when I saw her in my hotel lobby.

I saw her from behind and had no idea it was Betsey, I just thought it was a blond woman wearing Betsey Johnson. As soon as this woman turned around my jaw hit the floor. OMG! It's Betsey Johnson. I attempted to keep my cool and decided to walk up to her to say hello. Let's just say I wasn't at my coolest but once she gave me a huge hug the ice was broken and I was fine.

We talked for a good 15 minutes. She gushed over my coat (it was one of hers) and kept asking herself why she didn't keep one of those for herself. She talked about her daughter and the love of her life her granddaughter and she talked about her endless love affair with New York City (really, what can be better than New York?)

Meeting Betsey Johnson literally made my trip. I could have turned around and gone back to L.A. a happy girl but I think I will stay to see what other fashion miracles the universe has in store for me.

Designers are very intriguing characters, I must say. Their entire lives are built upon deciding what is or isn't beautiful, and yet many of them are fashion disasters themselves. Just take a look at Mr. John Galliano. I'm sure you've got the point.

Betsey Johnson is another one of those strangely garish designers that dress themselves and their environment to look much tackier than their sold creations. Johnson's tackiness can be a bit of an exception though, because, at least when it comes to her home, she can make it work. Check out this spread that Elle Decoration did for Johnson's very pink, very retro-cool home. The mix of items is very eclectic and is wild enough to make it clear that she did it intentionally. When it comes to something as crazy as this, the envelope has to be pushed.

Despite the natural grimace that emerges on my face when I see so much soft pink, I don't think I would say no to living in this home. I mean, Johnson has a big Siouxsie Sioux glamor shot above her bed. Come on.

With the New Year approaching I think it's safe to say that the majority of us have some resolutions to work on.

Let's face it, getting yourself inside a gym is hard enough and something extremely fashionable may be just the push you need. Forget about those lame duffle bags from the sporting goods store because this studded duffle bag from Betsey Johnson is much more attractive.

This black duffle gym bag was flying off the shelves at the Betsey Johnson boutique in Washington DC this past weekend. The original intention of this gorgeous bag is for jetting off to a luxurious weekend retreat but I have also found its makes the perfect gym bag. With enough room for your gym gear and a change of normal clothes, you would be a fool to carry anything less fabulous than this.

Purchase this bag online or in Betsey Johnson boutiques for $150, it comes in black and purple.

When I think about Halloween fashions I usually get a really scary visual image of my third grade teacher rocking a hideous pumpkin sweater. Halloween fashions can be creepy without being creepy.

Betsey Johnson has added some fun spider accessories to her collection this October. Pick your poison (poisonous spider) from a spider ring, necklace, pin or earrings. Or, just buy them all because this costume jewelry is fashionable and affordable. Nothing is over $60. These accessories are available in Betsey Johnson boutiques and at Nordstrom, but act fast because they won't be available for long.

And if spiders aren't your thing, Juicy Couture has an adorable pumpkin charm that you can add to your Juicy charm bracelet or anywhere else that needs some a little fall flair.

It is no secret that stylish people love to vacation. Winter, summer, fall or spring, it doesn't matter, anytime is vacation time. There are a number of fashionable escapes you can take: shopping in the big apple, jetting off to London, cruising down Robertson in Los Angeles, but none of those are real fashion vacations.

Vacationing inside a famous fashion designer's summer home? Now that is a real fashionable vacation.Betsey Johnson's home away from home Betseyville, which is located in the Mexican Rivera, is available for rent.

You will be treated like a celebrity with your own gated private villa, live in caretaker and security. And just in case you are like me and can't pry yourself away from modern technology, Betseyville has a DVD/ TV in each bedroom, a SkyTv in the lounge area, wireless internet, and telephone.

I have never been much for earrings, but after chopping off my hair I needed something to adorn my neck. Before the cut I looked online for insanely oversized earrings and came up short. Were big earrings out of style? In or out, I wanted my big earrings. I knew there was one person who never gives a damn about what is in and what is out. And that person is Betsey Johnson.

I headed down Melrose to visit the Betsey Johnson boutique to see if my instincts were correct. Lucky for me they were. I made a mad dash to the back of the store were Betsey's jewelry is displayed. The selection was huge and the great thing about Betsey Johnson's jewelry is that is affordable, all of the earrings were in the $25-$65 price range.

I loved and tried on everything that I saw. There is a lot to look forward to this Fall/ Winter season -- Faux mink pom pom earrings, gigantic hoops, long hanging lucite plaid earrings, panther cut-out earrings and more (much more).

I ended up picking up 2 pairs of earrings; one pair of oversized metal leopard-print earrings, and a shoulder sweeping pair of open heart with long chain earrings. I test drove the metal hoops today and they looked fierce. Just be warned they are heavy, so make sure you have strong earlobes.

Betsey Johnson's "Bambi" dress has been selling out in all of her boutiques and is on the backs of many celebrities like Howard Stern's girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky, and music legend Cyndi Lauper. I was lucky enough to get my hands on this hot little number as well and let me tell you something ... It's fabulous.

Like many of Betsey Johnson's designs, they transcend times and seasons. When you own a Betsey dress you can rest assure that it will never go out of style. The Bambi mini dress can be worn as is or paired it with black tights or leggings.

I turn to this dress when I want to look hot when I am feeling less than hot. The plunging V neck creates a nice slimming line, plus showing off the "girls" is never a bad thing. The flutter sleeves make a huge statement and cover up your arms if you haven't done push-ups in a while. The empire waist line is cut in a way so you can order the pasta but it isn't so dramatic that it makes you look like you are carrying twins.

All in all a perfect dress; if you head into Betsey Johnson you will find this dress in solid colors and in plaid. You might even luck out and find one on sale.

Laptops are a part of our everyday lives, more addictive than television and handier than a clunky PC. Where else can you read the newspaper, check in on gossip, shop, watch videos, listen to music, date... the only thing you can't do online is eat. So its no wonder laptop cases are stepping up, it is no longer acceptable to tote around your laptop in a bulky black carrier (and why would you want to?)

The choices are endless and if on the off chance you can't find an interesting computer bag or you simply can't find one at a reasonable price then a good solution is the laptop sleeve. The sleeve allows you to tote around your laptop in your most stylish handbag. Brands like Juicy Couture and stores like Target carry an array of attractive sleeves at semi-reasonable prices. Out of all of those, the most thrifty and attractive sleeve goes to Betsey Johnson. Weighing in at a measly $35 you can protect your Mac Book with a fashionable, padded rose print sleeve, fully equipped with a velcro closure pocket on the inside.

After all -- if you are going to geek out do it in style....runway style.

A foursome of fashion's most famous were on hand yesterday to ring the closing bell at the end of the trading day at the NASDAQ stock exchange. Designers Nicole Miller and Betsey Johnson were on hand, as well as model Gemma Ward and IMG fashion vice-president Fern Mallis. After counting down from ten, the women pressed the closing bell, then signed their names to an electronic board, which broadcast their signatures on billboards around Times Square. Admittedly, no one in this group was an avid follower of the NASDAQ. But NASDAQ shouldn't take that personally, especially considering that the largely-male NASDAQ traders probably weren't avid wearers of Johnson's off-kilter designs or Nicole Miller's elegant gowns.
