The Look For Less: Dior Oui Gold Ring

Costume jewelry is supposed to be a more affordable version of fine jewelry, but this Dior Oui Gold Ring ($625) doesn't really stick to that idea.

Spring Peek: Nostalgia

Many fashion houses dipped into the archives for Spring inspiration.

Many fashion houses dipped into the archives for Spring inspiration. We all have fantasies of being a Pink Lady from Grease, a swinger in the '60s, or a flower child from the '70s. Retro looks have been updated with fresh fabrics and modern flourishes — see the PYTs at Blugirl (pictured). If you had your pick, which girl from the past would you be? Me? What I would give for one night at Studio 54.

Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz

After a brief hiatus, Cameron Diaz is back in the public eye.

After a brief hiatus, Cameron Diaz is back in the public eye. Yay! While shopping with friends in NYC, the svelte actress showed the world her new oversized Fendi bag, Francesca Romana Diana pinkie ring, and Winter-white coat. The rest of her look — the Loeffler Randall boots, skinny jeans, brown scarf — is quintessentially Cameron, and that's why we love her; she layers simple pieces and makes them Fab.

Fab Flash: Spice Girls Hit the Catwalk

Earlier today in Milan, the Spice Girls made a surprise appearance on the Roberto Cavalli catwalk.

Earlier today in Milan, the Spice Girls made a surprise appearance on the Roberto Cavalli catwalk. The Fall 2008 men's runway shows are in full swing, and the girls came to show their support for the man who painstakingly designed their world tour costumes. As Cavalli revealed about his efforts, "I met each one on their own so I could get an idea of their personality." The runway show's dress code was all black, with the exception of Geri Halliwell, but unsurprisingly, Posh stole the show with a plunging tuxedo pantsuit. Which spicey look here is your fave?

Who Wore It Better? Dolce & Gabbana Yellow Bow Gown

Remember the Dolce & Gabbana yellow bow gown Eva Mendes wore to celebrate her status as Campari's calendar girl in November?

Remember the Dolce & Gabbana yellow bow gown Eva Mendes wore to celebrate her status as Campari's calendar girl in November? Well, Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville also chose it to wear to the Art Elysium 10th Anniversary Gala on Saturday. Both ladies wear the dress well. It fits Bonnie better but the hue matches Eva's honey skin tone more. Who gets your vote?
