In their words... Cheap Monday was born in order to offer an alternative for people who wanted fashionable jeans but didn't agree with the increasing prices of the brands which were popular at the time. The first 800 pairs with the characteristic skull logo hit the market in 2004. Since then, the production has reached a new level in terms of pieces as well as in
The Wackiest Bikini has a bottle opener built in
Bottle Betty bikini with attached bottle opener My craziest email of the week, so far... I get some pretty wacky emails from publicists and most end up in the proverbial "round file," but this one is different. Bottle Betty is a new line of patent pending swimwear with an attached bottle opener. It's crazy, I know. One would expect that a bikini with an attached bottle opener to be tacky looking. Bottle Betty swimsuits appear stylish, at least from their web site photos. But, it brings me to my original, head-scratching question, "Why?" This really must be a guy thing. All I can say is that if you are too lazy to walk to the nearest poolside bottle opener and
We Heart Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pendant Necklace
Size does matter when it comes to SJP's jewelry choice! Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out last night for her Bravo's "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" reality TV show and we think her choice of jewelry was a work of art! While SJP's "major" heart pendant-- on a very chunky chain-- was almost old school rapper huge, it's rough-hewn, hammered texture and antique finish tone it down to be modern and chic. Citrine by the Stones Dulce Amor Necklace doubles as a belt! A largish, statement-making pendant necklace works so well with spring to summer fashion and is a perfect pairing for drapey tops or simple T-shirts. One is all you need when wearing something this large, do be

Donatella Versace wears Versace very well
Donatella Versace wears her own design to present the Best Costume Designer Award for the Taiwanese film "Face" to the Hong Kong's 4th Asian Film Festival We're always fascinated with fashion designers and what they chose to wear. There is a little naive pat of us that would hope to think that a designer-- particularly a woman designer--designs for herself and the consumer is just luckier for it. But that's not always the case. one off from the Spring Summer collection but here are a few ideas to get her sexy bright look in different price points: More Scala... .
Sex and the City 2 Movie Fashion Oops Promotion Junkets Start
Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis > WATCH How to Accessorize a Little Black Dress We're loving Kristin Davis in Oscar de la Renta Just because a dress is pretty, it doesn't mean it's right on you... As for Sarah Jessica Parker, we know how she pushes the fashion envelope as much as she can for the red carpet . Her frou-frou dress is cute but perhaps it would work better if it was either a tad longer or a bit less fussy; no matter how buff her body is, we feel the combination of a bare leg and super short frou-frou dress is simply too girly on a grown woman. Less is more, but... Cynthia Nixon looks timeless
Lady Gaga undone was Stefani Germanotta and very brunette
Lady Gaga's real name was Stefani Germanotta & here she performs at the Bitter End in NYC We all thought that the entire world has seen these early Lady Gaga videos, but are constantly amazed to discover that so many have not. Before there were the outrageous couture costumes, the high budget "Telephone" video, and a whole lot of thought to personal branding, Lady Gaga was Stefani Germanotta. She was a very talented singer and pianist with not a very terribly distinctive look other than looking like any girl, every girl, anywhere. But boy, could she sing. The question is would she have made her enormous impact in the music world as a stringy haired brunette with no discernible fashion
