I have delicate thin earlobes so wearing heavy earrings is always a problem for me. For the sake of fashion, I do wear them on occasion, but by the end of the night, my ears are sore. I'm sure many of you can relate -it's not a good feeling.

That's why I was thrilled to come across EarLifts Invisible Earlobe Support Tape, $14. As you can see in the photo, it protects sensitive earlobes by taking the weight off your earring hole. Simply peel and paste the invisible, hypoallergenic adhesive behind your earlobe. It will reduce the appearance of droopy earlobes and will prevent future stretching. I don't know about you, but my ears are ringing with excitement!

Jewelry designer Gina Nigrelli lives in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, with her husband Brian, so it's no surprise that her bling reflects the blue waters and lush landscapes surrounding her. The laid-back lifestyle in the Caribbean allows Jules Smith Designs to maintain a realistic approach to fashion.

But her current habitat isn't the only source of inspiration for Gina. She also draws from the following experiences: once living in Southern Africa, her career launch in Las Vegas, her degree in Fashion Design and acting as Director of Marketing and Events for a national online shopping destination. After relocating to the Virgin Islands in 2005, Gina followed her lifelong dream of pursuing a creative venture.

Her jewelry, made only of precious metals and semi-precious gemstones, ranges from $95 for a simple ring to $465 for earrings. Go here for retailers.

Tara Subkoff has quite a few new tricks up her sleeve - for both herself and her Imitation of Christ label.

She's been working on a capsule collection called Tara Subkoff for Bebe that will debut at Bebe stores in Spring 2008, full of "super wearable, really sexy and modern" pieces. She also has a diffusion line for Imitation of Christ, called Imitation, in the works for Fall. And finally, in the spirit of change, Tara is looking to sell Imitation of Christ. Change is good right?

Like so many other people in the world who won't admit it: I can't resist a juicy Lindsay Lohan story. While we await her controversial appearance, is she? isn't she? she is, on the September cover of Elle, we can get a bite of what to expect from the naughty (to say the least) actress. You can see more photos from the shoot and edgy LL-inspired clothing picks through this slide show on Elle.com but I put together some of my Fab picks. Lindsay is a prissy little bad ass so her wardrobe from the shoot contains vast amounts of black, leather, sequins, Chanel and sex kitten shoes. While I'm still waiting to see the softer side of Lindsay - it's been so long - I guess we'll just ride this Lindsay wave out.

We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane to the action-packed, fun-filled film that is Charlie's Angels. All week long we followed and wardrobed the adventures of Natalie, Alex and Dylan and in this case all good things don't come to an end: we'll be bringing you Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle next week! In my opinion the second CA's had a better wardrobe so get ready to get excited. Here's a round up in case you missed any from this week:

• Monday
• Tuesday

Stay tuned for more ass-kicking clothes next week!

There are lots of awesome flea markets here in San Francisco, but there's one in particular - the Alameda Flea Market - that only happens once a month and I always make sure to hit it up.

I've got to get my outfit in order; I'm thinking super-comfy shoes, because I will be doing a ton of walking to get to all the stalls. Also, I don't want to wear anything too flashy or expensive-looking, because I want to be able to haggle - if the seller thinks I look like I have plenty of money, deals won't be happening.

I'll start you off with this Free People Poolside Floral Crinkle Headband, $18, to get my comfy and discreet look going!

Let's all go Fab Finding for a flea market-trawling outfit. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with flea market.

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

There's no stopping the bracelet brigade. It is indeed the season of the wrist. Tuck away those simple earrings and dainty rings, jewelry remains a way to make a statement. Karl was cuckoo for bangles and cuffs at both his Fall RTW (right) and Cruise 2008 (left) collections. So if you've forever been jonesing for classic Chanel wristwear get ready for an influx. Pile on the drama like at Louis Vuitton (middle), where Marc Jacobs didn't hold back and chose to twin his metallic bangles with an even more metallic clutch.

My styling tip? All you need is a black long-sleeve turtleneck, some tailored jeans, pile those bracelets on and you are cocktail-ready. Tchin-Tchin!
