Selena Gomez Wears Some Racy Flip-Flops
At first glance, Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez looks perfectly adorable and age-appropriate in her sundress and sandals in the photo on the right. But her $48 shoes by Girl Two Doors Down are printed with the saying "The only thing better than one is two cabana boys."
I'm probably just being a Debbie Downer, but isn't that a tad risque for a fifteen-year-old girl to be wearing?

Seventeen Magazine's New Jewelry Collection

One of my fave mags around, Seventeen, has decided to come out with a line of baubles for pretty young things like yourself, so I thought I'd give it a look. Turns out that there's some really fun pieces in the collection, including this hilarious "Good" and "Bad" Mood Necklace. Depending on whether you're happy or cranky, you just flip the reversible titanium heart charm over, and everyone instantly knows how you're feeling.
At $95 it's pricey, but I think it would make a great birthday present from the fam. And you deserve it, right?

Knock-Off of the Week: Punkrose Chainy Heels


This week we've got a shocking copy - not only in style, but in name as well! On the near right is Punkrose's "Chainy" heel, which sells for $48 at Shoes.com. On the far right is Forever 21's "Chainy Pump," and it costs a mere $19.80. Can you believe they even stole the shoe's moniker?

Another week, another set of outstanding fashion replicas! On the near right is Bebe's "Multicolor Woven Leather Retro Clutch," which retails for a pricey $149. On the far right is a nearly-identical bag from red-hot L.A. boutique Intuition, and it only costs $49.99. Niiiiice!

Teen Designer to Watch: Ashley Bess
I'm all about supporting young and fabulous entrepreneurs, so when a 16-year-old named Ashley Bess emailed me about her online store, I had to take a look. Turns out that "Ashley's Unique Shop," as her e-boutique is called, is filled with cute handbags and goodies that she makes herself.
I'm especially enthralled with her $5 Quarter Earrings, which she fashions out of actual coins. That's putting your spare change to good use, girl!

Knock-Off of the Week: Steve Madden Herringbone Pump
Ok, folks - I dare you to try and tell the difference between these two shoes! On the near right is a pair of Steve Madden "Naomi" heels, which will set you back $84. On the far right is what I swear is the exact same shoe from Gojane.com, and it only costs $14.99. How is this possible?

Old Navy Flip-Flops for One Dollar

Get out your singles, gals, because a little birdie just told me that all flip-flop sandals at Old Navy stores (but not online) are going to be marked down to $1 for one day only this Saturday, June 28th! I'm a die-hard fan of their flips, and admittedly own probably about twenty pairs that I wear with my summer shorts and sundresses, so I'm gonna be stocking up.
And if you're like me and can't get enough of your rubber kicks, then be sure to read my article on summer's best flip-flop sandals!

Fashion for Dog Lovers That's Actually Cute


Ok, I will admit it: I like dogs a little bit better than people. I'm completely smitten with my new French Bulldog puppy, who I've only had a week but has already gone shoe shopping with me at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue!
Fashion maven Wenlan Chia, designer of the line Twinkle by Wenlan, is also a Frenchie lover, and has gone so far as to incorporate images of her pooch Milan into her latest collection. I'm especially crushing on her $125 Milan Rug and $115 Milan's Rubber Ball Necklace. Even if you're not an animal lover, you have to admit that they're pretty darn chic!

Knock-Off of the Week: Chloe Bootie
I've been seeing so many designer rip-offs lately - many of which are extremely good - that I've decided to show you a new comparision of real-versus-steal every week.
Today's face-off is between these ultra-trendy $645 Chloe ankle boots on the near right, and a nearly exact counterpart from Forever 21 which will only set you back $27.80. Not bad, right?
