It's kind of like snacking before dinner...check out some of the most entertaining posts from our Network before you finish up your work day (c'mon, we won't tell)...We're not skilled in the beauty area and thankfully All Laquered Up clued us in to an awesome Fall nail trend: the smoky hues.

It's kind of like snacking before dinner...check out some of the most entertaining posts from our Network before you finish up your work day (c'mon, we won't tell)...We're not skilled in the beauty area and thankfully All Laquered Up clued us in to an awesome Fall nail trend: the smoky hues. This look seems perfect for those of us who still can't fathom black nail polish...Pop goes under, and Chic and Untroubled says goodbye. We're pretty sure we should stop giving people our speech about how British magazines are still thriving. There are just, well, so many of them...Foot For Thought gave a shoutout to footwear designer Chie Mihara, and took pictures of her feet without getting busted by the store clerks...and finally, if you're just too tired to read anything, get wrapped up in a You Tube video to f&art's liking, namely, a techno-remix of Gareth Pugh's Spring 09 show. Happy Monday!

Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell

While many PYTs showed up for Hollywood Life's 5th Annual Hollywood Style Awards in West Hollywood last night, no one shined like Kristen Bell.

While many PYTs showed up for Hollywood Life's 5th Annual Hollywood Style Awards in West Hollywood last night, no one shined like Kristen Bell. While the rest of the world is tucking away their summery dresses and sandals, she gave hers one last spin in a strapless striped ivory Monique Lhuillier dress, nude sandals and a jade green clutch. Her cool swirly necklace made an additional statement. She looks happy in this light-hued look — I would be, too.

Trend Alert: Mid-Calf Boots

Falling between booties and knee-high boots are mid-calf boots.

Falling between booties and knee-high boots are mid-calf boots. This middle child used to get harped on for its in-between length and stodgy shape, but look out kids — there's a new boot in town!

The modern mid-calf boot is cut slightly wider around the top to provide much-needed leg room, not to mention making jean tucking a breeze. Take a look-see at Ugly Betty's Becki Newton. Zone in on her amazing Jeffrey Campbell boots; the laid-back style goes perfectly with her light brown dress. The grommet embellishment adds a nice touch to this simple ensemble. She's the perfect example of how a person of petite height — she's only five-foot-two — can pull this off. No fear.
