The countdown has begun! The 80th Academy Awards is this Sunday and we're getting psyched. If you are too, be sure to play our Oscars fashion faceoff game. Have fun deciding who looked best at the Oscars of yesteryear — and take a trip back in time to rejoice in the red carpet fashions we all loved and hated. Ready, set, faceoff!
How does it work? Each time you select the choice with the “higher popularity” score based on readers’ votes, you get points! Game ends when you get one wrong.
PartySugar and I were chatting per usual on our way to the Look Book photo studio when the topic of strapless bras came up (don't ask). Since we have yet to find the perfect strapless bra, we need your help!
I started you off with this Chantelle Senso Graduated Strapless Bra ($64) because I wanted to show you what not to look for: super-padded bras. They make you unrealistically busty and you can see that line across the top of the bra through your shirt. Let's see what you all found.
Fab Find #1, made by fashionhore gives me three options to choose from. Fab!

Though Gryson's collection for Target hasn't yet hit stores, I spy the perfect little Summer white bag. My qualms about a white bag match that of many: The idea is nice, but how can you possibly keep a white bag clean? The way I see it, if the bag isn't super expensive then a little smudge, or two, won't be the end of the world. This Gryson For Target Patent Woven Bag With Cutout Handles ($45) is the perfect contender — I adore the convertible handles and woven leather. And white patent? Say it isn't so.
Yay — the Oscars are actually happening! Every day I am thankful I get to dissect what celebrities are wearing, but the Oscars is like being a kid in a candy store. You know who my red-carpet favorites are — Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, Keira Knightley — and I love being surprised. Every year I hope for some daring choices, good or bad. Hey, at least people are taking risks right?
Ever since I saw Dolce & Gabbana's paint-splattered ball gown I thought, "Oh my God, somebody has to wear that to the Oscars." I doubt anyone will, but I think Penelope could pull it off. She isn't afraid of drama and color, and with a subdued updo this would be the grandest of looks. And I couldn't stop there — check out my Oscars red-carpet wish list!

While big sis Paris wore next to nothing for her Vegas birthday bash, Nicky Hilton opted for a classier ensemble with her Sass & Bide bow dress. The mix of silver accessories gives the look a relaxed feel. Some girls would be intimidated by a sexily dressed sister, but Nicky seems comfortable being the cute and covered-up sibling.
Christina Aguilera has experienced a lot of big changes in her life recently — new baby and now the role of designer muse.
Christina's friend, London jeweler Stephen Webster, is introducing a new sterling-silver collection inspired by the songbird. The Stephen Webster Silver Collection is full of silver rings, cuffs, pendants, and earrings inlaid with gemstones ($343-$3,528), made to look like broken stained glass, and will launch next month at Neimans.
Christina will also be featured in the collection's ad campaign, shot in LA, and set to look Hitchcockian. The first ad will break in the April issue of W, so keep a look out!
VIP Jackets: Members Only Makes a Comeback
The iconic ’80s Members Only jacket is back, along with a Hollywood following that includes Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, and Jennifer Hudson. While the company has kept the original kitschy tag line, “When you put it on, something happens,” they’ve brought in designer and former stylist Kelli Delaney to update the look with a new fashion-forward twist.
