Last year's Gap Design Editions invited Rodarte, Doo.Ri, and Thakoon's to rework the classic white shirt, and this year we'll see what 3.1 Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, Philip Crangi, and Threeasfour can do.

For the collection, which debuts in stores April 15, Phillip Lim created four pieces: a tie-neck shirt, a bell-sleeve ruched shirt, and a layered-sleeve top, all $78, Band of Outsiders concocted a patchwork tunic ($88), and Threeasfour designed a camisole ($78) and a cutaway dress ($88).

The Design Editions will also incorporate menswear and jewelry this year, which is where Michael Bastian and Philip Crangi come in. Bastian produced an epaulet and a Western shirt for men, both $78, and Crangi came up with such looks as a white or black wide resin cuff ($45). Sounds exciting — I loved the collection last year!

I'm really into lace-up heels lately, and I've been drooling over these Givenchy Lace-Up Heels ($639) since they came out last Fall. The price illustrates why they're not sitting in my closet by now, but picture this: I found the perfect pair of lookalikes for much less.

Maxi dresses are the ultimate way to exude a stylish laid-back look. Just look at Stella McCartney's Spring '08 collection, which was filled with feminine floral maxis. Also take cue from Nicole Richie who recently frolicked LA in a paisley maxi dress. There's something to be said about a dress that can make you look put together and feel comfy at the same time. Do what you will with the neckline but make sure your maxi is floor length. After all, anything shorter wouldn't be a mile-long maxi.

Victoria Beckham found herself at Maxfield's in LA over the weekend wearing a Marc Jacobs tunic dress. Her choice doesn't surprise me considering she's Marc's muse lately. She did expand her bag horizons though — she left the Birkin behind and toted a Giorgio Armani crocodile purse instead. Go Victoria for consistently dressing up alongside her sporty boys.

After the success of David Beckham for Emporio Armani Underwear, Calvin Klein has gone back to its roots and named its newest celebrity underwear model: Eva Mendes.

She will follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, Hilary Swank, and Djimon Hounsou, and also be the face of a new unnamed Calvin Klein fragrance. The ads debut this Fall, and will likely feature Eva wearing little more than she did for her PETA ad.

Her appointment coincides with the launch of Seductive Comfort, a line focused on addressing intimates for women with fuller figures and bust lines. Keeping this in mind, as Calvin Klein President Tom Murry put it: "When we looked at the talent, Eva was right." And that's that.
