    90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord collected kisses for the troops today as part of a Cosmopolitan and Maybelline New York Veteran's Day benefit event. Maybelline and Cosmo are donating $1 to the USO for each kiss collected between 7 AM and 7 PM in an attempt to set a new record for the number of kiss-stamped postcards to be sent overseas! If you're in the NYC area, catch the Cosmo vehicle and they'll provide you with their new ColorSensational lipstick, a postcard, and the opportunity to write a message. The postcards will then be delivered to military bases overseas on New Year's Eve, so the troops will get kisses at midnight! Click over to Cosmo to see the list of locations where you can participate, and you'll get to try a new product and brighten someone's day in the process.

    Video Style Steal: Black Eyed Peas Take Fashionistas To ...

    The recent Black Eyed Peas singles are overplayed enough for you to notice that their latest album is much more "futuristic"-inspired than their past party anthem compilations. And if you're just about fed up with hearing the repetitive beats of "I Gotta Feeling" and the laser gun sound effects of "Boom Boom Pow," you might be relieved that the third single, "Meet Me Halfway," is considerably easier on the eardrums. But don't worry -- just because the relatively low-key tune isn't exactly a club banger doesn't mean it lacks room for drama. The video features the four members isolated in separate parts of the solar system, each looking for a way to reunite. For example, Fergie seems to be stranded in a long-lost dimension that resembles the set for "A Midsummer Night's Dream," decked out in a shimmery fairy princess gown. While the video wardrobe is pretty fantastical, you can still take a cue from their futuristic concepts to form your own modern explorer and fairy-inspired ensembles, thanks to the funky stylings of Fergie and Will.I.Am. Watch the video to get some intergalactic insight, then check the slideshow for some wearable wardrobe pieces!

    Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have been described as "an English hip, young Ralph Lauren" by no less an authority than Vogue's Anna Wintour. Their Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2010 collection for their label, Rag & Bone, was shown last Friday to an audience full of appreciative fans. Structured jackets took pride of place in Friday's show, and they were shown in all lengths and styles, from military influenced to frock coats. The color palette of the collection was decidedly muted, with creams, olives, and chambray-like blues. Other than the jackets, the pieces included a heavy dose of skinny jeans and leggings with the occasional summer-weight long johns and work shirt worn as a (very short) dress. A flesh-toned silk jumpsuit was one of the biggest hits of the show, as was a navy dress topped with a light blue field coat.

    What do Jimi Hendrix, Christophe Decarnin of Balmain and Sienna Miller all have in common? They all love marching band style jackets! Beyonce and Rihanna have been spotted in the amazing (and very pricey) Balmain version and Sienna looked retro-cool in her Temperley London version. Finding an authentic vintage band jacket is hard to do, and sometimes the fit is less than flattering. Good thing designers have been turning out more modern and contemporary versions! Go subtle with some slight button or double-breasted detail, or go all out with some major gold trim and adornments. If you want to be truly authentic, check out Nasty Gal for a few great vintage styles. Check out the slideshow for our 5 favorite jackets that will keep you marching all fall long!

    Whoever thought sequins couldn't be minimalist never came across the designs of Sophie Hulme! Directly out of design school, the Brit started her own line for Fall '08. After a few seasons of gaining steam, her wares are now sold around the world and online at Revolve Clothing. The line fuses together masculine, minimalist cuts with some girly flash. Military-style anoraks and bomber jackets are dripping in sequins that totally up their glamour factor. The collection is punctuated with cool utilitarian accessories as well. Quilted backpacks and sequined harnesses as well some limited edition jewelry add to the "boyish with flair" charm of the line. Each piece of clothing also comes with a special trinket that changes every season. The purpose, you ask? After a few collections, you'll have enough to make your own Sophie Hulme charm bracelet. Check out the slideshow to see some of the line!

    New York Fashion Week Runway: Charlotte Ronson Delivers A ...

    For fall 2009, Charlotte Ronson brought a bunch of fabulous fashion elements to one place. The collection started off very futuristic and edgy and a bit goth with lots of black, leather, biker jackets, and bondage shoes. The rough styles soon gave way to softer, more wearable ones with floaty chiffon, floral prints, plaid, chunky knits, and fun day dresses. Some looks were soft and sweet, some were retro and 70's inspired, and others were scandalously sexy-- especially the fierce corseted number. Overall, this eclectic show was jam packed with something for everyone.


    Trends: leather gloves, plaid, military jackets, motorcycle jackets
    Fabrics: knits, leather, chiffon
    Celebs: Lindsay Lohan, Cory Kennedy, Joy Bryant
