C&C California

You can always count on C&C California to have the softest, comfiest tees.

You can always count on C&C California to have the softest, comfiest tees. I consider their Classic Tank to be, well, a classic. To ring in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, C&C has taken that Classic Tank and reincarnated it as the Breast Cancer Classic Tank, $48, complete with a cute little pink ribbon print!.

It's a great way to show your true colors (pink!) and support a great cause, since a portion of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Plus, you'll be totally comfortable in and with your new purchase — no buyer's remorse here!

Victoria Beckham

WTF?! Victoria Beckham Impersonator?

I've being eyeing a blonde with a jagged bob who wears tight ass dresses and puckers a definitive pout.

I've being eyeing a blonde with a jagged bob who wears tight ass dresses and puckers a definitive pout. Oh Posh. Wait a second...that's not the Victoria Beckham we all know and love!

At first I thought it was a mere coincidence, but this red dress incident was the last straw that prompted me to do some research. I quickly learned that the Posh wannabe is Chanelle Hayes, a 19-year-old who was a contestant on UK's "Big Brother." Side note: she has reportedly hooked up with David Beckham lookalike Calum Best. Hmmm! This chick really wants Victoria's life, doesn't she? She dresses like her, has her hair style, walks like her, poses like her...hell, she probably even talks like her. I don't know about you, but even though imitation is the best form of flattery, this would creep me out. Do you agree?

Fab Redux: Conehead

A lot of designers have been fixated on cone heels recently — Alber Elbaz at Lanvin especially comes to mind.

A lot of designers have been fixated on cone heels recently — Alber Elbaz at Lanvin especially comes to mind. So when I saw these Charles Jourdan cut-out heels, $165, my heart leapt.

What girl doesn't need a good solid classic pair of black pumps? And these could be passed for new: they've never been worn. So if you're a size 9, get on it!

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Viktor & Rolf

After last season, when models walked out attached to their own personal lighting apparatuses, I was curious to see what gimmick Viktor & Rolf would come up with next.

After last season, when models walked out attached to their own personal lighting apparatuses, I was curious to see what gimmick Viktor & Rolf would come up with next.

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are romancing the harlequin for Spring: Pierrot collars, pom-poms, diamond shapes, and violins were choice motifs. The pretty palette was Chanel-inspired: black, white, blushing pink and peach. There were a couple trademark fashion-as-surrealist-art outfits — the ruffled pink coat which framed the model's face with a white rosette and pink violin, for instance.

But as the models emerged from a gaping mouth, it was clear that Viktor & Rolf was going more commercial. Wearable silk minidresses with lace collars and multiple beautiful tiered gowns were red carpet-ready. Even the violin theme was toned down to a lace appliqué or a necklace. Subtle Viktor & Rolf, but the Amsterdam-based fashion brand still astounds.

Celebrity Style: Christina Milian

Singer Christina Milian is on the prowl as she arrives at a restaurant on Sunset Strip in LA. Most people don't wear a corset top and leopard pencil skirt to dinner, but since the Strip is very happening and trendy, it makes sense. Christina's fashion sense doesn't normally wow me, but here she is looking mighty sexy and surprisingly non-cheesy. I know most girls aren't comfortable with low-cut corsets, so I provided a classier option. Follow Christina and get in touch with your wild side!

Fab Flash: Pete Doherty and Irina Lazareanu Engaged!

From one model to another, that's the way Pete Doherty rolls.

From one model to another, that's the way Pete Doherty rolls.

After finally breaking it off with Kate Moss, he's recently given an engagement ring to model Irina Lazareanu. The two have known each other for years — Irina used to be the drummer for Pete's band Babyshambles until, ironically, Kate introduced her into modeling. I guess, as they say, a couple that plays together, stays together...

Also, don't forget Irina modeled with Kate in the debut of her Kate Moss for Topshop collection. Scandalicous!

Tory Burch Germaine Pant: Love It or Hate It?

For me, plaid pants have always been associated with a major nerd factor.

For me, plaid pants have always been associated with a major nerd factor. So when Tory Burch came out with this plaid Germaine Pant, $350, I immediately thought what great pants they would be for a nerdy Halloween costume.

They're meant to be riding pants, but I think I prefer the classic riding pants, in camel color. What about you, are you mad for this plaid pant?
