You all know by now that I am a huge fan of gladiator sandals, even though my friends say I look like Hercules when I wear them. Whatever. These Lanvin Gladiator Sandals, $575, to me, are one of the best kinds out there. Worn with a pair of itty-bitty denim shorts and a simple white tee, they would look dazzling. If they're a bit out of your league, you'll be excited for the look for less...I Read more
We all love things that others love to hate, whether it's a Counting Crows CD you can't get rid of or your "Degrassi Junior High" boxed set. Now I'm giving you a chance to explain yourselves in a new feature called Defend This. In honor of the fast-approaching 2007 Oscars, I'm devoting this week's Defend This to a recent Best Picture winner that I find baffling: Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Not only Read more

We're hard-pressed to find anyone who wasn't just a little bit enthralled by Keri Russell's soulful Felicity Jones on the '90s series Felicity. We followed her loyally through cute movies like Waitress and celebrated when she had her first baby. While we totally support her laid-back Brooklyn lifestyle these days, we miss seeing her out and about on the red carpet and on the cover of magazines. Read more
Although we're all mad about The Hunger Games, we're not all exactly eager to live in the dystopia. It seems like a miserable place in the districts, where starvation is not an uncommon thing. However, if Panem, the setting of the trilogy, was a happier place, I'm sure it would be a hot tourist spot. Here are a couple of travel destinations that resemble a healthier and happier Panem.
