    • J. Crew's Jenna Lyons Turns Down Oscar Dress Request

      The Oscars are considered the most important show during awards season. So, what designer would say no to a chance to be featured on the red carpet?

      J. Crew President Jenna Lyons actually turned down a request last week to design something for Sunday's show. Michelle Obama may be the best thing to happen to J. Crew, but why not enter the big leagues and design for an A-list movie star?

      "We just got asked to do something for somebody for the Oscars, literally this morning. I said, 'When are the Oscars? Two weeks? No way.' We can't turn samples and make really good-quality clothes on such a tight timeline," Lyons said in an interview with ABC. "I certainly love the idea, but we're not set up that way. If someone wants to wear a feathered skirt and a cashmere sweatshirt, then sure."

      After Michelle Williams donned an H&M dress on the BAFTA red carpet, we are hoping to see some gowns the

    • Where to Meet Mr. Right

      To meet a great guy in your city "go out somewhere you like," suggests Dr. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University. "You can bond over similar interests." But steer clear of the bar scene. "Generally speaking, bars are not your best bet," reveals Andrea Syrtash, relationship exert and author of He's Just Not Your Type (And That's A Good Thing). "Consider meeting through your friends who are in relationships. The more friends a single guy has that are coupled off, the more he may want to do the same!"

      Where To Meet Mr. Right

      The Northeast
      According to Dr. Fisher, men in the Northeast are "high estrogen men," meaning they're highly expressive and sensitive. Prime for mature relationships, this kind of man is drawn to the Eastern coast because of the liberal mindset, number of quality universities, and highly cultural experiences. Drop by a local bookstore or spend this Sunday at a museum to meet one of these diamonds.

    • Top 10 Braided Hairstyles

      The youngest Olsen has style wisdom beyond her years. Lizzy's braid is the perfect example of understated elegance, with loose strands and side placement adding an extra touch of casual chic. For a look like hers, create a deep side part and gather hair into a ponytail over your right ear. Loosely braid the ponytail, and leave a few face framing strands free.

      Think Renee Bargh's SAG Awards hairstyle is too complicated to try at home? Think again. Beauty meccas like Sephora are selling faux-hair headbands perfect for slipping on over any updo or half-up style.

      Before she opted for a cropped cut earlier this week, Miley Cyrus rocked a thick side braid on the red carpet. Incredibly versatile, long side braids are becoming a staple on the awards show circuit. The key to a style like Miley's is extra volume and texture at the crown.Invest in a product like Bumble and Bumble's (Un)Dressing Creme for a roughly styled mane.

    • Are Rihanna and Chris Brown Back Together?!

      Chris Brown and Rihanna may have kept their distance during the Grammy's, but they're not fooling anyone. It's rumored that the former couple will be collaborating on the remix of Rihanna's song "Birthday Cake." Pair that with Brown attending her birthday party on Monday night, and we have cause to worry.

      Brown's return to the Grammy's brought controversy as celebrities and viewers were vocal about his performance Sunday night. Twitter trended #RIPChrisBrown after he tweeted, "Hate all u want becuz I got a Grammy now! That's the ultimate F*ck Off!" Is it us, or does that sound like a man who is NOT sorry for beating his ex?

      Rihanna, we love your new blonde locks, but maybe the bleach is getting to your head. What do you think about this couple reconciling?

    • Heidi Klum's Ex Wore What?!

      We live in New York, so we're not usually surprised when we see a man with a mani. But when that man is Heidi's soon-to-be ex Seal (we're still rooting for a reunion!), our jaws dropped just a little. The singer walked out of an airport in Australia yesterday with bright yellow nails. Was this his attempt to distract us from the fact that he left his wedding ring at home? Nice try.

      Are Guys Getting Too Girly?

      We're actually surprised Seal decided to take the ring off so soon. Recently, when he was on Ellen, the singer told her, "I think that (the ring's) a token of how I feel about this woman. We have eight wonderful years together, and just because we have decided to separate doesn't necessarily mean you take off your ring and you aren't connected to that person." So much for that!

      This isn't exactly the first time we've seen Seal with nail polish, but this neon yellow is a little much. What do you think of men wearing pastel nail polish?

    • Should You Be Using a BB Cream?

      If there is one thing Americans are amazing at, it's multi-tasking. So, it is no surprise that Asia has brought the multi-purpose BB Creams to our doorstep, and they are taking the skincare world by storm! Before you go to purchase a "Beauty Balm" or "Blemish Balm" (they go by so many names!), we're give you the lowdown on this new addition to your cosmetic bag.

      10 Celebrity Skincare Favorites

      BB Creams are tinted moisturizers with active ingredients as well as SPF. "They are designed for women who are 'on-the-go' with little time and want a multi-tasking product that will provide some benefits as well as light coverage (rather than make-up)," says dermatologist Dr. Jeanette Graf.

      Depending on the BB Cream you use, the product can work as a moisturizer, serum, toner, primer, concealer, foundation, eye cream and/or highlighter. Not only are they time-savers, but they're money-savers too.

      Because these creams work as an all-in-one product, "they should be applied to

    • Whitney Port's Fashion Week Debut!

      We were front row at Whitney Port's Fashion Week debut Wednesday morning, and saw first-hand the colorful frocks styled by Lara Backmender and the impeccable makeup of Make Up For Ever artist Kristi Matamoros.

      Port's collection, rich with color (particularly an electric orange hue that was repeatedly styled with grey sequined pieces) and heavy on layers, was inspired by an antique kaleidoscope she found in her grandmother's home and sponsored by Crest 3D White. "I was looking at it, and was inspired by the prints and colors," Port said. "But [the collection] is also based on what kind of girl I feel like I've grown to be the past couple years."

      Models traipsed down the runway to a mix of girl power music, including Beyonce and M.I.A, donning floral printed suits, black-and-white patterned mini skirts, and striped grandpa sweaters in black and burnt orange.

      Polish shades include XOX Betsey, Alley Cat, Pushing Your Luck, Cartwheels on the Catwalk, Sparkling Personality, Forever Wild, and a hot-pink lacquer called It's My Pink that's scented with Betsey's latest fragrance, Too Too!

    • NYFW Hair Trend: Reverse Ombre Color

      In 2011, we saw hoards of celebrities rocking ombré highlights, but NYFW has been going against the trend and debuting brand new looks with reverse ombré color.

      Hot Trend: Two-Toned Hair

      Jen Kao sent models down the runway with hair tips darker than roots and shafts, and the pin-straight locks at Victoria Beckham and Alex Wang didn't lend themselves well to faded color. Kiss that beachy style goodbye, Giuliana, and trade those peach tips in for deeper shades of brown and black, Lauren Conrad.

      Drew Barrymore was way ahead of this trend when she died her blonde ends black back in 2009, but converted to classic ombré coloring last year.
