Fairchild ArchiveIt looks like Cate Blanchett might be making room in her SK-II filled medicine cabinet for some Georgio Armani products soon. According to Page Six, the actress is the next celebrity face of all the brand's fragrances.

Along with a boatload of free perfume, the Oscar winner will also receive a hefty paycheck for her services. The report states that her contract is worth $10 million dollars, a nice little stimulus to whatever ever she earns making movies.

So besides appearing on even more glossy magazine pages, and having a stellar excuse to go shopping, what does this news mean for the star? Well, for starters, it'll probably affect her red carpet style. Now that she's affiliated with a company that also makes clothing, her public appearances will need to reflect that. It's possible she started this transition last January, by appearing at the AACTA awards in red Armani Prive gown. Maybe that was a coincidence, but seeing as it

Twist Front Dress, $595, Issa, shopbop.com On the surface, British designer Daniella Helayel's recent rise in popularity sounds like a Cinderella story. After its 2003 launch, her tiny label Issa could be found in a select few boutiques, but her main source of income was private clients, a few of which were celebrities. She wasn't exactly struggling, but not wildly successful either. It wasn't until November 2010, when Kate Middleton wore an Issa design to the globally covered press conference announcing her engagement to Price William that the brand was truly in demand. Or to be more precise, the exact royal blue wrap dress the future Duchess owned was truly in demand, which is were the problems began.

According to the Issa's current chairwoman, Camilla Al Fayed (also, FYI, the daughter of department store Harrods' former owner, Mohamed, and the half-sister of Dodi Al Fayed, who died in the 1997 car accident that killed William's mother, Princess Diana), the

"Boho," "rocker" and "preppy" are fine--just don't ask us to define ourselves by them, like on shopping sites trying to recommend products based on our personal style. ("Am I Glamorous? Classic?", they ask, ever so tauntingly, in pop-up quizzes.)

We don't know which one to identify with, let alone which one to click, and we're not sure most of our friends would either. Most of those style descriptions have gotten so familiar that they feel staid, or at least too vague. Today's style archetypes are something more specific, it seems--like these ones in the slideshow below. Which one are you?

Fashion is fun. Or it should be, anyway! Here at Lucky, we're taking that statement quite literally. And, lately, so is the rest of the fashion world. We've officially lived to see the day when balloon animals live purses and pom poms are for so much more than arts and crafts. Who wouldn't want a colossal hula hoop bag from Chanel or a pair of Celine furkenstocks? We're totally in favor of this grown-up game of dress up.

So start your weekend off right by checking out some of the quirkiest and most charming clothes and accessories we could find--including a blinged-out cake clutch that looks good enough to eat. Yes, we've included plenty of furry friends to meet our quota, but we've got plenty of other picks that will bring a smile to your face in their own unique way.

From belts to baseball caps, these little extras will make your closet feel more current, on-trend and just generally better. It's the stuff you didn't know you needed--but you totally do.

We're big believers in thinking about your wardrobe holistically. Sure, you have your favorite pieces--but it's far more efficient to look at the big picture. Picking up a simple blazer could radically change how you get dressed every day, while a statement shoe could be just the thing to amp up a suit or the most basic dress.

To that end, we rounded up 12 pieces that will get you at least 24 outfits. Of course, you'll probably be able to stretch them even further when you mix and match them with what you've already got, so consider this your starting point.
