Every season a few items appear on the runways that you know are going to be superstars. Fall merchandise is not yet in stores — soon — but we are already seeing some stars wearing the aforementioned superstars on the red carpets. After all, celebrities who will help promote the house get first dibs. That being said, I predict we will see much more of this sharp Balenciaga LBD. I'm just glad the statuesque Charlize Theron wore it first. For the record, I am predicting Victoria Beckham will wear this one, too. At one of the Hancock premiere's, Charlize also chose to wear the decadent rhinestone bracelets that accompanied the slit-up-to-there dress on the runway. Man-eater shoes and slicked back hair toped off her power ensemble. I know we'll see more of this epic dress, just remember Charlize had first dibs.

Sometimes we just need to go au naturale. Especially when skinny dipping is on the menu. Did I say that?! What I mean is, natural materials like wood, cork, bamboo, and natural colors like tan, beige, nude, can make someone feel at one with nature. Shoes of this nature are ideal for hot, tropical climates but also a Dolce & Gabbana party, right Kate? Whether city or seaside, going au naturale always feels so good.

Designer Phillip Lim opened his first store in LA and naturally all of Hollywood's pretty young things flocked to his party. Actress Emmy Rossum looked particularly smashing in her bright Phillip Lim draped dress. That mango color is yummy! But what's a dress without the right accessories? Emmy took her outfit from good to fabulous by wearing a black-leather belt, cool drop earrings, and a black bracelet by Cartier, and peep-toe pumps. I have no doubt Lim was proud.

Miss BellaSugar had the chance to chat with leader of The Hills at a Mark cosmetics event this week . . . and you know she had my back! We got the scoop on Lauren Conrad's beauty secrets as well as her new accessories line in collaboration with Mark cosmetics. As you know, LC is a brand ambassador and the company is launching a campaign called m.Powerment, which aims to speak out against domestic violence. Right on. More news, Lauren is launching an accessories collection with Mark. Between her Lauren Conrad collection and her success with the show, Lauren is on the up and up. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the colorful printed dress she wore at this event is from her Holiday collection.

One item to note is the 'Have a Heart Necklace' that is (only) $22 and 100 percent of the proceeds go to charity. Here's what LC had to say about the special necklace:

“I collaborated with Mark in doing the ‘Have a Heart Necklace,’ which you have in front of you guys, and we are all wearing. They come in silver and gold, they are double-sided. They have the little stones on one side and the little heart on the back of the pendant. It retails for $22 and 100 percent of the profit goes to charity. It's basically the gist of the charity. It also comes with a little extender in the back so you can kinda adjust how long you want. It's also fun to layer with different pieces. It’s just a kind of an easy piece for people to wear.”
