Faux Snake Body Bag

While I'm not too fond of the term "body bag" I suppose it's one of the best ways to describe a long strapped purse. You know, cause it lays along your body?

Steampunk = Fashion?

The "New York Times" recently did an article about how steampunk is becoming more mainstream. If you don't know, steampunk is a mix of Victorian style with technology. Think top hats, brass, velvet, flying googles, etc. There's even a a steampunk shop opening in NoLIta, NYC this Summer, which I'd love to check out. I've personally always loved the stylized look of it, but I think it belongs more on the streets of Japan than on the runways. You could tone it down, but really that's what any Victorian era inspired fashion looks like. So while I'll continue to enjoy steampunk computers and the like, I doubt it's ever have more than a cult following. Which is right where steampunk likes it.

Croc's New Slides

Would you wear these high heeled Crocs slides? I will have to say they're definitely cuter than the originals, but really it doesn't take much. If you own a pair or the originals, I command you to switch them out with these immediately! Buy at Crocs for $50 in a variety of colors.

Gray Checked Blouse

I still see LiLo wearing lumberjack inspired shirts, and I admit I think that's why I like this look. This one has that casual vibe, but is light weight enough to wear for Summer! Buy at Revolve Clothing for $165.

Gray Boot Cut Leather Pants

I totally adore the color of these leather pants, soft gray is much less biker than black. These pants also come with a built-in tummy control! They come in regular, tall and petite at Newport News for the sale price of $109.

Michelle Trachtenberg’s Jewelry Line “Bella Veritas”

Lucky girl!!! Michelle Trachtenberg snagged a huge guest spot on "Gossip Girl," now there's talks of her becoming a regular character on the show! And apparently she's had her own jewelry line since 2006. When I first heard, I thought she was using her GG fame to launch a line, but she's already taken the plunge. Wow, every piece is handmade by her, that's awesome! Right now it's sold out near everywhere, but you can find pieces at Milk and Fred Segal. I get the feeling she won't be able to make them herself for much longer...

Perez Hilton Designs

"On Wednesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at HotTopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.
Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women's t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who's real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.
"2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand," the blogger explained. "I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what's hot and what's not."
The line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few."

Notice how I tagged this "celebrities" and not "designers?" Perez, your music taste is ok, but designing for "Goth 'n' Go" will not give you fashion credibility. Maybe I should just be thankful he's going after the tween market and not pretending to be a real designer.

Lust for Less: Wide Ankle Strap Heels
