When I heard "Call Me Maybe" songstress Carly Rae Jepsen was the new face of Wet Seal, my first thought was … wait, Wet Seal still exists? I haven't walked through the doors of a Wet Seal in years, but apparently the teen store is still up and running, and is raking in the revenue and partnering with Jepsen.

To be honest, I had deemed Jepsen a "one hit wonder" after her latest hit. But clearly she isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and is even carving out a place for herself in the fashion world.

Typically singers have to have been on the scene for a while before they land a major campaign deal. And sure, Wet Seal isn't exactly Chanel or Dolce & Gabbana, but it's still a career coup for Jepsen. And YouTube sensations landing campaign deals shortly after they blow up isn't entirely new. Just earlier this summer Internet hit duo Karmin scored a spot in Gap's fall denim ad campaign. This

Break out your vino glasses, because it's happy hour somewhere … especially if you've got the new wine purse. Intrigued? Thought so. Swedish brand Vernissage's "bag-in-a-bag" of wine is actually a box of wine, shaped like a handbag. Leave it to the Swedes.

Now, I'm no wine snob -- I'm not above Two Buck Chuck at Trader Joe's -- but I've always associated boxed wine with elderly aunts who spend their afternoons playing bridge, dusting their "knickknack racks," and drinking Franzia like it's tap water. But, this chic wine purse was actually created for fashionistas.

And I'll admit it, the notion of toting around a large quantity of wine in a convenient (and cute!) carryall without the tacky stigma attached to boxed wine is appealing. But most importantly, the wine is good! A massive 3-liter bag will run you about $40 and is filled with French wine from Vin de Pays d'Oc.

Certain rules are meant to be broken. Case in point: Does anyone really wait a full hour after they eat to swim? Unlikely. We feel the same way about fashion rules, especially the one that says you shouldn't wear white after labor day. Forget that.

Pop of Color

Mix things up with a bright colors and layer your summer whites with shades like flamingo pink or poppy red. Top it all off with neutral accessories like a camel clutch and tortoise shell shades.

White Jeans

White jeans look their chicest when worn as skinnies. Cuff them once and wear with heels. Balance the look by pairing them with a billowy, loosely fitting top.

Yes, it's happening: Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte -- known for his toned abs, blinged out grills, and inability to give an intelligent interview -- announced to Celebuzz that he has a fashion line in the works, along with a potential reality TV show on E!

What exactly would a reality show document? "Pretty much they would follow me on my normal day, just training and doing my own fashion line," said Lochte. "It's going to be me being myself. And I'm pretty much going to show the world that and my new fashion line." As for the fashion line Lochte was tight-lipped about any specifics -- like what type of clothes he's designing, his personal aesthetic, etc. So we can only guess. Will there be bedazzled grills? American flag suits? We will just have to wait with bated breath until Lochte's sartorial creations actually debut.

A match made in quirky heaven? With Fashion Week just around the corner, Betsey Johnson announced that '80s icon Cyndi Lauper will play during her New York Fashion Week presentation on September 11th. Personally, we can't think of a better theme song for Betsey's playful, kitschy designs than "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

The Cyndi/Betsey collab got us thinking … what other fashion designers and singers would we like to see join forces? We came up with a dream wish list for the musicians we'd love to see perform live at Fashion Week:

Vampire Weekend at Tommy Hilfiger

Who better to open for the King of Prep, Tommy Hilfiger, than ultra preppy band Vampire Weekend? After all, they do have a song titled "Oxford Comma" and another one called "Campus." Plus, Vampire Weekend's single "Holiday" was the soundtrack to a Tommy Hilfger commercial last year … so we're guessing it

I didn't attend a fancy schmancy prep school and I've never even been to the Upper East Side, but, I do love the laid back chicness of the classic prepster style.

And no, you don't have to take up tennis or make a down payment on a yacht to wear this trend. It actually works a lot better if you don't go full-force prepster, and instead mix it into your normal look.

Keep scrolling to see what I mean.

Bright and Striped

Navy and white sailor stripes are a foolproof way to get that classic, preppy style. Update your look by pairing your stripes with bright colors, like a coral blouse and cobalt blue purse.

Beachy Clean

A crisp white blazer is a prepster staple, but add a bit of relaxed, beachy flair by wearing your hair in a fishtail braid and pairing your blazer with rolled-up jeans.

Lobster Sweater

Lighten up the mood with a cute top like this lobster sweater.

The U.S. Open officially kicks off today, and fashion designers are getting in on the fun -- in their own super stylish way, of course. Anna Wintour is an avid tennis fan (often choosing tennis matches over runway shows during Fashion Week) and so it's no surprise that Vogue commissioned 12 high-fashion designers to create the most fabulous tennis balls we've ever laid eyes on.

Designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Rag & Bone, and Tory Burch transformed plain ole' tennis balls into beautiful pieces of artwork decked out in pearls, lace, spikes, and rhinestones. Our favorite? Peter Som's blinged out creation.

And while these aren't for sale (and wouldn't improve your serve, anyway) we've drummed up some of our favorite high fashion sporting goods that you can actually buy:

We know it can be hard keeping up with the Kardashians, so we'll fill you in. During last night's riveting episode, Kim's boyfriend Kanye West showed up to give her closet a complete overhaul, ditching all those ultra-tight, sparkly bandage dresses for more sophisticated options. "Kanye has inspired me to be more of an individual. My style is evolving and changing," confessed Kim to the camera. Now, normally we would be appalled that any woman would change her style for a dude, but we agree with Kanye, those sparkly bandage dresses had to go. At the same time, we don't know if replacing them with Kanye's wardrobe is any better. We'll have to wait and see …
