The eco-chic bandwagon is getting more and more full and jewelry designer Robyn Rhodes is one of its latest riders. Just in time for Earth Day, Robyn is donating 20 percent of the proceeds of this Rumi necklace, named after model/actress Josie Maran's (left) daughter, to Global Green USA. Depending on the metal you choose (sterling silver or 14K-gold filled), the triple-strand necklace featuring an Amazonite pendant will cost you $120 and $126 respectively.

Balenciaga Wannabe Steve Madden Buckled Sandals: Love It or Hate It?

Balenciaga's sporty-chic sandals came out for Fall '07, and Steve Madden is just now duplicating the trend?

Balenciaga's sporty-chic sandals came out for Fall '07, and Steve Madden is just now duplicating the trend? Regardless of the slow timing, this Steve Madden Buckled Bright Sandal ($100) is Balenciaga gone way wrong. It has way too many buckles and the dainty heel doesn't go with the sporty feel. I would never disrespect Nicolas Ghesquière by wearing it. Would you?

Have you ever worn a pair of fierce heels but was scared you'd slip and fall?

Have you ever worn a pair of fierce heels but was scared you'd slip and fall? Been there, actually done that (and have the scar to prove it). It's not fun slipping around while struttin' your stuff. Check Miley Cyrus posing confident at the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards. You'd never know she has on a pair of Grippy Steps by Apara ($8), to keep her heels from sliding in the wrong direction. These sticky contractions simply stick to the bottom of your soles and prevent any awkward moments from happening. Now that's a quick fix!

Celebrity Style: Famke Janssen

Famke Janssen was out in NYC to premiere her latest movie Turn the River in Thread Social's blush pink minidress.

Famke Janssen was out in NYC to premiere her latest movie Turn the River in Thread Social's blush pink minidress. The tiered petal-like ruffles are tempered perfectly by the contrasting bold neckline; her choice of a studded clutch to offer a subtle dose of toughness is well appreciated. Seems she's not the only celebrity touting the pink-and-black combo, either.

Fab Flash: Elizabeth Hurley on Photo Retouching and Her New Line for Mango

In 2005, Elizabeth Hurley famously declared that she would never again be seen eating her lunch in a bikini but for three years now, she's designed a range of St. Tropez-inspired bikinis and kaftans under the label Elizabeth Hurley Beach, which she built from scratch.

In 2005, Elizabeth Hurley famously declared that she would never again be seen eating her lunch in a bikini but for three years now, she's designed a range of St. Tropez-inspired bikinis and kaftans under the label Elizabeth Hurley Beach, which she built from scratch. Next month, she's launching Elizabeth Hurley for Mango, a lower-priced swimwear line full of brightly colored bikinis, kaftans, and one-pieces.

For someone who has "thousands" of bikinis, however, Elizabeth is not such a fan of bikini shoots; that's why she "rel[ies] on nice photographers, and a bit of retouching."

"I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody,” she admits cautiously. “We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes. I’ve always been quite particular — I don’t like my face to be retouched . . . I don’t mind if you want to make me a bit thinner and a bit younger, but you can’t give me a different jaw or eyebrows." Do you appreciate her candidness?
