Dresses like this are made for the last hot days of summer - it's an easy style that you can just as easily wear on top of your bathing suit or out to a casual lunch. We like the "nude rose" shade pictured here, because it's as refreshing as a fruit sorbet. Pretty!

Made of 100% cotton, the roomy tiered style and empire waist won't stick to your skin (an important consideration when the mercury soars) while the scoop neck and elasticized back will show just enough skin to still look hot. Pair this dress with dainty jewelry and strappy sandals and get out and enjoy those lazy summer days!

Oooh, these sandals are the perfect party shoe! Can't you just imagine dancing away while perched atop these delicate gold-toned heels? We can! And we love them in pink because it brings out the softness of the fabric - they look deceptively comfortable, but are definitely meant for dress-up nights.

You'd wear these at a formal event, of course - but we think these would also look amazing peeking from underneath black pants or dark wash jeans when paired with a dressy top.

(They also come in black, if pink isn't your thing.)

At a recent event Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere wore a pretty rose pink Herve Leger dress with gold Christian Loub's. Hayden knows that the key to a sophisticated style is to play it by the "less is more" rule which she does flawlessly here. We <3 this!

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

If you love cute, girly, Japanese street fashion inspired trends, you're going to love today's featured designer, Stephanie McCann of Sugarpop Clothing. This UK-based label is stocked full of adorable duds sure to thrill your inner child.

The sunny tartness of lemonade is a summer time favorite, plus it's fun and easy to make. Some lemons, some sugar, ice, a glass and you're in business. The non-carbonated kind we drink here is a particularly American version, and it's a part of many family traditions, sipped on the porch after supper and sold from countless lemonade stands in suburban driveways.

Part of the fun of lemonade is it's versatility. You can add other fruits, like ripe raspberries, for a juicy hybrid surprise, or a garnish of mint to make it a garden party. And for those over twenty-one out there, well you probably already know how well vodka fortifies a tall glass of citrus goodness. Ginger, pink and strawberry lemonade are all someone's favorite.

There are some quick and easy ways to dress up your lemonade and make every pitcher a party. Check out our tips in the gallery.

As we mentioned previously, Victoria's Secret Pink Collegiate Collection is all sorts of fun and spunk for the college set.

What we didn't mention previously is that you can be a part of the Pink action. This Thursday, July 17th, will be the first annual Pinkapalooza. It will be held on the Santa Monica pier from 5-10 p.m. and the public (that's where you come in) are welcome. Click here to print your pass.

Those in attendance will be able to compete in rivalry games between USC and UCLA, as well as be among the first to shop the new Pink Collegiate Collection. There will also be a free concert by Fall Out Boy.

The party will be hosted by the new (and first official) face of VS Pink Miss Behati Prinsloo. We will be sitting down with Behati for a little Q & A. and we thought it would be fun to take along some of your questions for the lovely young model.

If you have a question about VS Pink, modeling or something else (within reason) that you would like to ask Behati please leave it in the comment section. We'll pick the best (not that there is such a thing as a bad question) and ask Behati on Thursday- you know, when we sit down with her. Yes, we've been bragging about this to everyone.

How many times have you said, "Sure, I want to protect myself from brain damage and disfigurement, but helmets are so dorky!" Every time, right?

Well those days are over, thanks to the inventive and colorful Helmet Mohawk.

We have color promiscuity. As soon as we have our nails done one color, we see a newer, prettier color and suffer an irresistible urge to trade up.

More than once, we've been halfway through a pedicure, and an OPI ad in Self Magazine made us scramble out of the chair to grab a different, new more exciting color.

Who doesn't love pairing together the unexpected? There's a reason (other than alliteration) that leather and lace have been considered a sexy combo -- one is naughty and one is nice.

The same thing can be done with color -- something chunky and not terribly girly, when done in a feminine shade, takes on a whole new look.

You remember Global Hypercolor, right? Those heat-sensitive t-shirts that changed color as you wore them (and then went all funny-looking after a few washes)? We loved ours so much. In fact, we still have a picture of ourselves wearing it at the gates of Disneyworld, circa 1992 (no, you can't see it...) Anyway, now that same technology has been appropriated into another item of apparel: panties.

A pink leather motorcycle jacket, is the perfect gift for someone's mom out there, and so fantastic we know you'll be forgiven when it arrives a couple of days late.

Want to make it really special? Pick up the matching chaps in pink or pale pink or supersoft pale pink lambskin. The whole outfit comes in under $300 and will last a lifetime. Or at least seem like it.

Jammin Leather, "the first and largest online leather catalog" has several pink leather items including hats and a lot of stuff with fringe.

Remember, the gift that will bring a tear to her eye is out there, you just have to keep looking. Happy Mother's Day!

It's always fun to add a splash of color or an interesting pattern with your shoes, especially in the summer when your legs tend to be more bare. And, as we've mentioned before, we kind of love a preppy plaid. So what could be better than wearing a fun, bright plaid as a shoe?

As you probably well know by now, we're big fans of accessories that can be added to a very simple outfit and create a striking ensemble. This is done through color and texture, and what's an accessory that provides both? The scarf! And, scarves can be used in approximately a million different ways, so you can wear the same scarf a couple times a week and keep coming up with different looks.

If you hang around with copyright lawyers enough, you're bound to get sued. That's what seems to be happening to Victoria's Secret right now. After suing Macy's for supposedly making knockoffs of their "Pink" line, it looks like VS is going to have to face the wrath of Juicy Couture's legal team. According to the lawsuit, Victoria Secret ripped off Juicy's trademark pink color as well as its marketing strategy, even down to the lollipop shaped packaging of some of their items.

It seems like every major fashion company is up to their eyeballs in copyright infringement lawsuits these days -- but instead of going after straight up counterfeiters, they've unexpectedly taken the opportunity to have a free-for-all on each other. It'll be interesting to see how many of these lawsuits hold up in court. When it's over, I'm sure most will wish the hadn't bothered to cast the first stone.
