Why don't guys wear cologne anymore? Or do they, and I just can't smell it?
This all depends on the guys you're smelling. And that all depends on how creepy you are. Just kidding. Guys are definitely still wearing cologne. In fact, now more than ever, guys (even, like, that totally normal dude who works with you even though you have no idea what he actually does and whose name you only half remember and who sometimes when you're feeling lazy you don't even say hello to in the elevator and who you'd never even think of grabbing a coffee with) are totally thinking about grooming. I know, right? Even THAT guy.

Macy's has tapped Nicole Richie to create a capsule line for its Impulse department. Called "Nicole Richie for Impulse," the range will contain 20 to 30 pieces and is set to land in about 100 stores and online next September.
Richie has been co-starring with Macy's representatives on NBC's hit show Fashion Star, so this announcement does not come as a total surprise-the company's buyers get to admire her stunning style on a weekly basis. Also, her QVC range and House of Harlow and Winter Kate labels have been wildly successful, which means her pieces will probably sell out fast.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've likely either read or considered reading Fifty Shades of Grey. An erotic novel that began, believe it or not, as a piece of Twilight-inspired fan fiction, the book's been at the very top of the New York Times Best Seller list for two months straight-along with its sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.
When news broke that the movie rights for Fifty Shades had been sold to Universal Pictures for a whopping $3 million, there was no more denying it: this steamy trilogy is officially a full-blown phenomenon. In between making office-wide bets as to who might play Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey on the big screen, we rounded up some items inspired by the story-along with choice snippets from the text itself. Enjoy.

With the exception of "summer scarves"-D-list celebrities who infallibly pair them with fedoras: please cut it out-I'm pretty open to people wearing things out of season. Beyond those scarves-and, like, boat shoes in a blizzard or a sleeping bag parka at a barbeque-transitioning summer things into cold weather and vice versa is pretty seamless. It's as simple as making sure you're dressed for the current temperature, while avoiding ridiculously season-specific fabrics (white linen in winter, 8-ply cashmere in summer).
So before you go storing all your winter clothes or relegating them to the Narnia of your closet, click through the slideshow below for some ways to wear those cold weather staples now. (They're not earth-shatteringly innovative suggestions, but they're not bizarre, either, and I'm not gonna recommend anything that makes you look too try-hard. Like a celebrity in a summer scarf.)

Two University of Wisconsin students just patented the JoeyBra, which in theory should make bra stuffing a social norm. With underarm pouches that hold keys, credit cards and even iPhones, the JoeyBra's supposed to solve the "too much stuff and nowhere to put it" problem. I sorta get-or, at least, I get its genesis.

I have clutches that hold a card case, phone and keys, but never all at the same time. I have jackets that serve as waiting rooms for my stuff's final homes (especially those ones with side slit pockets, which spill their contents all over restaurant banquettes and cab seats). From time to time, I also have third party purses (see: best friends' larger bags, boyfriend's pants pockets), but they typically have an alarm bell for when to wander off. And it's always set to the moment when I want my lip stain back.

Lucky: When you saw Daniel's bloody tuxedo, did you you freak out about the dry cleaning bill?
Emily Thorne: No. I have a plan B for everything, not to mention that I have a discreet dry cleaner on my payroll.
Who has a better shoe collection, you or Victoria Grayson?
Ooh. That's a tough call. Victoria's is probably more refined, but she only needs to play herself. I'm forced to morph into a number of different people in the name of revenge, which requires a more varied arsenal of ass-kicking shoes.
