Posh Spice, never what you would call a classically trained vocalist anyway, is giving up singing so she can give all of her attention to her fashion line, dVb.

Oooh, this is a tricky one. Do we comment on her dubious singing abilities in the first place, mentioning the rumors that she was lip-synching on the Spice Girls' recent tour? Or is it more germane to bring up the recent dVb failure in the US, including the ignominy of getting outsold by trampy Heidi Montag?

Twelve Bar makes a lot more than t-shirts, and any of their products could easily grace the pages of Styledash in the future, but as this is the coveted "T-Shirt of the day" spot we thought it only right to stick to said tees. We're a stickler for the rules.

Due to the popularity and demand of extremely low-rise jeans, Sandra Tanimura, designer for Sanna's Brazil Fashion, has designed this uber-low (and uber-hideous) nod to one of the worst clothing trends to come about in recent years -- the whale tail.

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.

If there is one thing that we love as much as fashion it's conservation and corporations that believe in it, that's why we were happy to find The Natural Store.

This is what they say about themselves:

The Natural Store is a different type of Department Store – dealing only with suppliers who operate on a Fair Trade basis, have high ethical and moral values, or who try to minimise their impact on the environment. So whether you're after individually made organic chocolates endorsed by the Soil Association, sensual underwear in organic cotton and hemp/silk or a wind-up radio so you can tune to your favourite station, we're the natural choice.

You knew it was coming eventually. That, however, doesn't make it any less uncomfortable for all of us. Pete and Ashlee are engaged. [People]

When we first saw these denim boxers in our inbox we thought it was a joke. It was early April, fools were in the air, and it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think one of our fellow fashion writers was having a bit of fun. At the very least we expected the links to lead us on a rickrolling adventure. Nope. The denim boxer is for real.

The guys at Threadbanger.com put together a step by step guide to destroying a new pair of jeans using organic, non-toxic methods. It's really not as time-consuming as you might think, and it's cheap too! Especially if you've got some old jeans in your closet that you can't bring yourself to get rid of. Using only espresso coffee, a bucket of hot water, and sandpaper, you can give your boring old jeans those vintage scars literally overnight.

The vintage jeans look has been around for a way long time now and it looks like it might never go away. While I'm not really a fan of jeans with artificial wear spots and holes -- I like to break them in slowly -- putting the wear and tear into a pair of jeans actually sounds fun -- if only for the sheer pleasure of destroying stuff.

If you're the type of person who thinks that it's stupid to pay extra for a designer to put holes in your jeans when you could save all the fun for yourself, you should give it a whirl.

Pow! Wham! Zap!

I feel like these jeans are mimicking a fight scene from Batman (the television show, not the movie). These are the fugliest jeans that I have ever seen. Why on earth would anyone want to have an insane red lightening bolt shooting down from their booty all the way to their calves? It just can't be flattering.

I suppose I am not alone in hating these because they have managed to make their way onto the sale section of Shop.Eviso.com. They fugalicious jeans can be yours for the low, low price of $113, originally $225. If you ask me both the original and the sale price are too high. But then again I would consider a price tag that said, "Free. Take them, please" to be too expensive too.

I don't know much about denim care because I don't wear jeans much, but I suspect that if you don't wear anything but jeans, particularly designer denim in the $200+/pair range, then you might need BluWash for cleaning them.

BluWash is a patent pending formula that protects your high-end (and low-end, if you care that much) denim during laundering. It does it by neutralizing chlorine and other chemicals used to process water. Apparently, BluWash doesn't just wash your jeans, but actually revives them.

I would hope so. A 32 ounce bottle costs $22. Available from ShopIntuition.

So many celebs these days have their own fashion lines. These sort of announcements barely make headlines anymore. Rachel Bilson is going to be yet another in a long line of starlettes who use their popularity to get them a gig designing clothes. She's hooking up with DKNY to create a line of jeans for the brand. They will be sold in stores, starting in September, under the name Edie Rose.

Reaching out to DKNY, Rachel contacted them to see if they would be interested in working with her. The company gladly accepted. The DKNY president said, "Our customer has a real emotional connection with Rachel and she's always on the best-dressed lists, so it seemed like such a win-win for us. Rachel has real personal style and she is very involved in every step. You can really see that in the collection."

Some celebrity fashion lines make absolutely no sense -- Hello, who in the world is going to buy clothes made by Avril Lavigne?!? But, Rachel Bilson is actually somewhat of a fashionista. Aside from the fact that's she's tiny, perky and adorable, she really never gets it wrong. Her personal style is cute and edgy, yet not over the top or skanky.

Browse through the gallery and tell me if you agree. Is she worthy of having her own line?

My friend Marshall showed up to a gathering the other day rocking one of this spring's greatest resurrections: white jeans. He was very excited about them; had just picked them up at Urban Outfitters in the West Village.

White jeans are tricky. I'd venture to say they are trickier for women, as we generally wear them tighter. White clinging gently to your natural curves = good. White squeezing and squishing your natural curves = FAIL, go home.

When choosing a fit in white denim, don't panic. Don't let anyone convince you that white makes you look fatter so you have to get the smallest size into which you can shoehorn yourself. No. Let your white t-shirts be your lesson in how to wear white jeans. Too tight, and you look ridiculous if not lumpy. Too loose and you lose the sexy goodness of your shape.

This season, I recommend white jeans with a comfortable fit up top that comes to below your waist but above that "let me show you my underwear" danger-zone, a slightly tapered leg, paired with cool sneaks for men or stilettos for women. They dress up a casual outfit and dress down a nice blazer or goin' out top, just as denim is supposed to do.

According to Marshall, Levi's makes the best fit (pictured above right). Also, he says that white jeans are all about the attitude. You can't be worrying about a pen mark or a little grit from the subway, especially in a city like New York. You have to reach a certain level of acceptance that your jeans may not stay pristine. It's sort of Zen.

(I'll just carry Oxi Clean with me everywhere.)

David Beckham has always been very open about the fact that he basically lets Victoria Beckham use him for playing dress up. She serves as his wife and stylist. What a talented multi-tasking woman!

Well, Mrs. Becks wants all to guys to learn how to wear their jeans like David. So she's going to make it easy for them and design a line of men's jeans to be sold though her brand, dVb. And the most important feature of these jeans? Well, she thinks men should absolutely, under no circumstances show off their junk."I think guys should wear jeans big and baggy, with a big pair of boots or flip-flops; exactly how you see David when he's out in his jeans and T-shirtDo not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!"

About the style of what she's designing Victoria says, "These are not skinny jeans. They are what I call proper men's jeans. If you are a man that likes really skinny jeans, very fashiony, this isn't really the line for you. I didn't want anything too tight around the crotch. That really repulses me. It might be fashionable, but you are not going to get that from dVb."

Seriously, why does Victoria have such a fascination with talking about David's manhood? Yeah, anyone else remember when she compared his penis to a tractor exhaust pipe?!? Yes, it's true. David Beckham is hotter than the sun. But that's still T.M.I. regardless of who we're talking about!

Anyways, back to the subject at hand. I will admit that David does wear his jeans very nicely. But the dVb version will be retailing for about $220-$285. Guess I won't be buying my hubby a pair of these anytime soon.

Browse through the gallery to see David Beckham looking gorgeous in jeans. Because when it comes to His Royal Hotness, there's no such thing as too much of a good thing.

Over the last few years, True Religion has mesmerized us with their fabulous jeans and signature pockets (and $200+ price tags). The company has now decided to venture into non-trousered territory -- they'll now be offering handbags.

Leslie Hsu, previously with Calvin Klein and Tahari, has brought her talent to True Religion and will use fine hand-dyed cottons and Italian leathers for the line of handbags. The collection is set to include weekend bags, hobos, satchels, clutches, and key chains, all of which will incorporate True Religion's signature look of modern stylings with a bit of Western edge.



As you can probably guess, you're not going to get the True Religion look without the price tag. The Leyla Day Bag, pictured here, will cost you $758 at Nordstrom. Some of the smaller items are set to go for less, with the line ranging from $58 to $898, and the pieces will soon be available at department stores and boutiques the world over.

Forget the baby bjorn, or the sling. Who needs carriers, strollers, or baby backpacks? With the new invention of velcro clothing, now you can just stick your baby to you and go. Look, ma, no hands!

The designers of all velcro outfits have one thing in mind -- human connection. They are imagining cities full of people walking around wearing velcro, bumping into each other, getting stuck together and starting up a conversation. The brand is called Takkiainen, which is developed by a company called Com-pa-ny, "Takkiainen is a jacket for lonely or bored people. It is designed to help the wearer to get in contact with others. Since we brush against each other every day as we move around in the city, we can use our clothes as a medium for meeting people and communicating with them."

Com-pa-ny, based out of Finland, coincidentally makes many other amazing products such as silicon socks (for outdoor use, no shoes), the safety skirt (giving you absolutely no chance of flashing an accidental up-skirt), jeans with built in gloves, jeans with a tail, " to sit on, to lean on, to balance, to wrap around you," a skirt with four purses attached, a rocking bear, a blanket you could hibernate in, literally, a beard made out of wool, in case you're looking to get a cleaner Adrien Grenier look, a hood and backpack all combined into one, and my favorite of them all, shoes with the kiddy shoes attached right on top for easy father/daughter dancing. The products are insane, exciting and innovative. You have to browse through the gallery to see what I'm talking about, everything that Com-pa-ny makes is out of this world! Check out the products and then tell me what crazy invention is your favorite!
