To raise awareness of breast cancer, RevolveClothing.com has partnered with Vita, makers of the bracelets popular with many celebrity ladies, for a special edition bracelet.

So Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Hayden Panettiere are all fans of Vita's trademark embossed snakeskin leather and gold chain link bracelet combination, but the Vita Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet, $66, in what other color but baby pink, is bound to win over more fans: you and me.

The best part about the whole ordeal? 100% of the profits go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation - so the bracelet makes you look good and feel good.

Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

So, I'm thinking the Olsens must have been looking to the abominable snowman for inspiration on this one.

So, I'm thinking the Olsens must have been looking to the abominable snowman for inspiration on this one. The white shaggy goat fur on this Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket, $995, definitely screams more "Yeti" than anything else to me.

Also, there's the separate consideration that the jacket is made out of goat fur, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of anything getting my goat. What about you?

Fab Ad: Maggie Gyllenhaal for Agent Provocateur

I have to admit that when I first heard that actress Maggie Gyllenhaal was going to replace Kate Moss as the face of Agent Provocateur, I was less than thrilled.

I have to admit that when I first heard that actress Maggie Gyllenhaal was going to replace Kate Moss as the face of Agent Provocateur, I was less than thrilled. I just couldn't get the image of Maggie with her little daughter Ramona out of my head long enough to replace it with her as a saucy lingerie model. But now that the ads have been released, I am pleasantly surprised. I suppose deep down I knew Maggie had what it took because of her sassy role in the Secretary. By looking at these sexy ads, you'd never guess Maggie is a mom who loves to lay low in jeans and flats. I guess that's a good thing! What do you think?

Fab Flash: Jovovich-Hawk for Target

Spring '08 is a ways away but it's never too early to get excited for yet another Target Go line.

Spring '08 is a ways away but it's never too early to get excited for yet another Target Go line. It has been reported that Jovovich-Hawk, the label designed by models Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk, will hit the Target racks next year.

According to Milla, "Our Target line will have all our classic pieces: smock dresses, tunics, minis, all vintage-inspired, great prints. We took the things that sold the best for us but we're doing it on a bigger scale."

I personally can't wait to stock up on affordable Jovovich-Hawk pieces and I'm sure you can't either!

Partysugar's 26th birthday: T minus 12 days and counting! She has enlisted our help to find her a fabulous birthday outfit!

Like a true social butterfly, Partysugar takes her birthday bashes very seriously. This year, she will be letting loose at a swanky bar with all of her good friends. The catch? She's having guests come dressed as their favorite cocktail...and hers is champagne! She wants something mini, something stunning and something that screams "Champagne!" Hint: she's leaning towards golds and light pinks, but feel free to get creative.

I will start you off with these Juicy Couture Dirty Glam Hoops, $68, because they are glam and bubbly.

Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with Partysugar Birthday.

Fab Flash: Valentino Throws in the Designing Towel

This just in: Valentino is expected to confirm his resignation from the brand he founded in 1960.

This just in: Valentino is expected to confirm his resignation from the brand he founded in 1960. The news is not that shocking considering there was much speculation of his exit since Permira bought the Valentino Fashion Group, which owns Hugo Boss, M Missoni as well as a 45 percent stake in Proenza Schouler.

Alessandra Facchinetti, the former head of women's wear at Gucci, has been appointed creative director of Valentino's women's collections by Valentino Fashion Group. She will be responsible for the brand's couture and ready-to-wear collections, along with RED and Roma, secondary lines.

But Valentino isn't leaving without a finale: the designer will present one more ready-to-wear show as well as one more Haute Couture season.

This is a sad day for fashion but we wish Valentino all the luck in his future endeavors!
