You and a bevy of your closest guy and gal pals are gathering on the beach Friday evening for a little ring-in-the-weekend bonfire — think The Hills! It gets a little chilly with the sea breeze in the evening, so I reminded you to make sure to bring a jacket, and some sand-friendly shoes.

I started you off with these J Brand 10" Ankle Skinny Stretch Jean ($159) in charcoal, in honor of the bonfire.

Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by elanakat is super cute; I love her color palette of coral, grey, and shiny black.

March Shopping Madness: Gimme Gladiators

I could care less what Britney Spears was pining for when she sang "Gimme More," but I do know what I am wanting more of this Spring: gladiator sandals!

I could care less what Britney Spears was pining for when she sang "Gimme More," but I do know what I am wanting more of this Spring: gladiator sandals! I absolutely adore them. It's hard for me to imagine how my feet survived before them. Whether it's wedges, flats, or pumps, they just give off a cool-as-a-cucumber vibe and make any overly feminine piece a bit androgynous. Gimme gladiators and keep them coming!

Fab Flash: Newest Project Runway Alumni Party On

While you were home watching the Project Runway season finale on TV last night, the season four contestants were gathering at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in NY for a celebratory rendezvous with Christian Siriano.

While you were home watching the Project Runway season finale on TV last night, the season four contestants were gathering at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in NY for a celebratory rendezvous with Christian Siriano.

The newest PR winner was taking his triumph in stride: "I get marriage proposals every day," Christian said. "And I get touched, like people want to pick me up and hug me and hold me because they think I can fit in a purse. Actually, I can fit in a purse." Apparently during filming, Jack Mackenroth carried Christian around in a tote bag.

Elsewhere at the party, more antics ensued, courtesy of Season 1 winner Jay McCarroll: "I just touched Rami's butt," he said. "Rock hard. I hate the jeans he wears but what's underneath is good." Too bad the video cameras weren't still around for that Kodak moment . . .

Rachel McAdams showed up to the NYC premiere of Married Life looking sexy as ever channeling her inner Robert Palmer girl — love it! She is proof that you don't need to show a lot of skin to look h-o-t hot. If you tend to wear a lot of color, try head-to-toe black once in a while for a "wow" factor!

Simply Fab: Sass & Bide Exclusive Tie Dye Tank Dress

Fashion is targeting breast cancer in a whole new way this time: tie dye.

Fashion is targeting breast cancer in a whole new way this time: tie dye. Sass & Bide has lent its exclusive tie dye tank dress ($170), to Net-A-Porter.com as part of the retailer's third installment of Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is a topic that hits close to home for Sass & Bide co-founder Heidi Middleton, who was diagnosed with it in February 2007. But she and partner Sarah-Jane Clarke were ambassadors for the organization long before that. Actress Michelle Monoghan (left), models the Fall '08 dress, whose proceeds will aid Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Worldwide.
