We spotted Victoria Justice taking in the Alice + Olivia Fall '13 collection, and we couldn't resist catching up with star on what's next, what she thinks is sexy (Valentine's Day is almost here, after all!), and how she approaches personal style. Among the brunette beauty's revelations? She's got brand-new music on the way! For more updates straight from Victoria Justice, just keep watching.
Stacey Bendet's girl got a dose of the opulent, the preppy, and the whimsical — which all make sense when you consider that Alice + Olivia's Fall 2013 was conceived with the designer's belief that there are no limits when it comes to personal style. No limits indeed; this season Bendet drew from our obsession with street style (how fitting for NYFW!), crafting a lineup that's both playful and cool, or as Bendet maybe defines it best: "fantasy street style." That's the common denominator — rather than adhering to any one trend, this was a world where the Baroque-inspired, glamorous, punk, and polished played off each other (we imagine a little like Stacey's own closet). Pieces like a quirky zebra crossbody bag and cheeky heels with faces spoke for themselves, the kind of one-offs street-style stars and celebrities will be wearing for the Fall (and getting snapped when they do).
Gwyneth Paltrow arrived at LAX to catch a flight in her signature casual-meets-cool travel outfit. And while we can't deny the classic appeal of her gray tee, faded jeans, and gray booties, we couldn't help but zoom in on two noticeably new additions to her jet-set getup: her black-and-white bags from Alice + Olivia's Spring 2013 collection and her bird tattoo. OK, so technically that's three new things to take note of. Neither Gwyneth's satchel nor tote is available to shop yet, but we don't — and shouldn't! — have to wait to get in on the sleek dual-tone look. What we love most about black-and-white bags is that, besides the fact that black and white are the hottest color couple right now, they feature two neutral hues that will go with just about anything in your closet. Plus, they're the easiest way to add instant sophistication to any piece, especially with your go-to denim. Thus, taking a cue from Gwyneth, we hunted down 17 equally fabulous black-and-white bags to add to your closet now.
Actress Jamie Chung hung out at Chateau Marmont last night looking ever so sleek in a black biker coat with leather lapels.

She finished off with black patent pumps and light-pink lipstick for a contrast pop of color. We love the juxtaposition of Jenna's professional-chic top and her ladylike skirt — score them now to wear together at work or separately for weekend fun. The blouse would polish up ripped jeans perfectly, and the skirt would shine with a slouchy gray tee.
