Fresh from her
appearance on Letterman, Lauren Conrad, the designer and spokeswoman for
mark cosmetics, was out on the red carpet to represent the Avon Foundation at their Hosts The Hope Honor event in NYC last night. Patrick Dempsey, one of their
celebrity fragrance faces also came out to look fantastically good looking with his wife. Jordin Sparks, who also is a
spokeswoman for the mark brand, posed with Lauren Conrad.

The always-smiling Mandy Moore lit up
a recent red carpet not only with her grin but also with her ensemble. On top, she kept things casual in an Alexander Wang tank and a modern
denim jacket. On the bottom, she went sexy in Larsen Gray's black band skirt and nude sandals.

The Manhattan home of fashion and interior accessories designer
Cynthia Rowley was recently featured in the October issue of Elle Decor, and it is the epitome of style. Could you really expect anything less? Against a cool palette throughout, you'll see a mix of antiques (and eras), flea market finds, original artwork, and Rowley designs as sophisticated as her ready-to-wear collections and as radiant as her home accessory line for Target.

One color is just not interesting enough anymore. Agreed.
Colorblocking is always fun, and in small doses, like on a Marc Jacobs clutch, it's even more fun.

This past weekend's hot weather had me craving lemonade and frosty beer. The next time I throw a party, I'll throw ice and bottles into this
Cynthia Rowley for Target Steel Beverage Tub ($12.99). Who can resist the funky fresh mix of Macintosh apple red and '80s throwback hot pink?

This group of
Resort looks can best be described in three "L" words: loose, layering, and legs. Things are shaping up pretty nicely for my Winter vacation. I can choose to be whimsy, like at Lanvin (pictured) or Cynthia Rowley; I can be downright bold, seen at Naeem Kahn and Malandrino; or, I can play it cool wearing Jason Wu, Max Azria, and Vera Wang.

As a geek and avid beach bum, I hate to restrict my love for net surfing and reading just because of those strong sun rays. I know, most of you thought the LapDome on the left was
totally freakish, rightly so, as it's not everyday you see people sporting "tents" with their laptops inside. But it does offer that shelter your laptop desperately craves in the hot sun, and removes that nasty glare which makes it humanly impossible to see anything on your screen.

We're sad to see our favorite TV shows head to hiatus for another Summer, but luckily the stars of the small screen are still coming out to play in Hollywood. Last night Alyson Hannigan, Minka Kelly, and Taylor Momsen got dolled up for the 36th Annual FiFi Awards in NYC. The ladies helped honor the night's
big winners, which included
Daisy Marc Jacobs and
Intimately Beckham Women.

Do you remember back in February when I told you about
Cynthia Rowley's upcoming fragrance launch with Avon? A few weeks ago the scents became available just in time for Mother's Day. This launch date was no accident.
