    New York-based jewelry designer Alex Woo has long used nature as inspiration for her delicate and lovely pieces. She's got her pieces around the necks of Rachel Bilson, Zooey Deschanel, Kelly Ripa and Kellan Lutz, to name a few celebs.

    For the DisneyNature movie, Chimpanzee, she designed two pendants in honor of the documentary's protagonist, Oscar. Woo said in a press release, "As the mother of a toddler, I instantly bonded with Oscar, the adorable 3-year-old from the film. I really wanted to capture his youthful and precocious spirit, as well as his beautiful surroundings."

    The pendant's composition is made of up Oscar and three vines. The vines were inspired by the Jane Goodall Institute and its mission to protect animals, people and the environment. Twenty percent of the sales of the pendants will go to the institute's conservation efforts to

    Gone are the days of Carrie Bradshaw, $17 dollar martinis, and affordable pre-war Manhattan apartments - at least on HBO that is. In the upcoming series Girls (premiering on April 15 at 10:30 PM on HBO), writer/director/actress/comedian Lena Dunham paints twentysomething city-life a bit more realistically: dead-end jobs, cheap booze, depressing hook-ups and cramped sublets. After her indie hit Tiny Furniture, Dunham created the show (which she also stars in) to reflect a new generation of New York women.



    Dunham plays Hannah, a recent college grad financially cut off by her parents after two years of waiting for an internship to turn into a job offer. Crushed, she relies on her friends Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) to pick up the pieces. Thanks to excellent casting and pitch-perfect writing, Dunham makes her characters feel real-often hilariously and uncomfortably real-while they navigate the usual pratfalls

  • Just because you're hitting 40, doesn't mean you need to cover up your lovely legs. In fact, a new study released by a British clothing store, Debenhams, says women in their 40s are wearing much shorter skirts than ladies in their 30s.

    The study, which observed hemline lengths of various age groups, said women's skirts were roughly 14 inches long between the ages of 40-45. When the same study was conducted in 2009, skirts only stayed that short until women reached the big 4-0. Needless to say, young ladies in their early 20s still wear the shortest minis, but as they get older, particularly into their 30s, hemlines lengthen. Then 40 hits, and skirts get shorter once more.

    With leading ladies like Jennifer Aniston, 43 and Jennifer Lopez, 42, staying in shape and keeping their legs toned, we fully support the decision to keep the minis short. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it!
