We’ve been avoiding the MOMA store on Spring St. because we can’t go in and out without buying a piece of really amazing jewelry.

But we have little self control when it comes to shopping so we’ll be heading there after work for this Murano glass bubble necklace by Marina and Susanna Sent.

The artists, who grew up in a family of Venetian glass blowers, strung the lightweight glass balls on a thick white rope to create one of the most perfect summer necklaces we’ve ever seen.

Will pair with a strapless dress, layer with lapis beads over a white t-shirt a la Dries, and wear it pretty much every day for the next three months.

We might even blow some pink Bubble Yum for extra effect.

WHICH popular model recently lost favor with a major fashion brand after a big campaign shoot? She insisted on doing her hair and makeup herself, and when she smeared her dark nail polish, she refused to let the manicurist touch her. “They can Photoshop it!” she snapped to the makeup crew in her posh accent.

We’re all for Sex and the City spoilers, but MySpace comments?

Not so much.

So imagine our “oh ick” moment this morning, when the official Sex and the City MySpace left us a comment - a giant photo of SJP eating pizza that said, “Hey, it’s Carrie. Need to talk about Big. Maybe over pizza?”

Maybe over our puking bodies?

Of course we’d expect a major motion picture to have its own MySpace. It’s just the pretending-they’re-Carrie and the leaving-pizza-comments that gets a little out of hand.

So although we’re thrilled to see the movie when it finally premieres, here’s what we’re going to tell this silly MySpace campaign:

We’re just not that into you.

The publicist of a major Italian fashion label confides some news about Nina Garcia:

She’s still styling for ELLE.

This week, the publicist’s American showroom received a request for sample pulls from the magazine.

When asked who’d be the creative director behind the shoot, the assistant on the phone answered, “Nina Garcia.”

Unless this is some sort of reality show challenge, it seems the Project Runway judge has indeed accepted an at-large position with the magazine, at least until she gets her own TV show / consulting firm / PR Director title / you get it.

It seems the constant catalogue of Blair and Serena dresses at Forever 21 and Fred Flare aren’t the only homages to Gossip Girl this year:

We hear Dolce & Gabbana is shooting their Fall ‘08 campaign in a Manhattan mansion, just around the corner from the Palace Hotel, otherwise known as Serena Van Der Woodsen HQ.

The models - Lily Donaldson, Jessica Stam, and Caroline Trentini - have all been dressed to look like Brearley babes going out - and they’re shooting them “sneaking out” of their mansion as if it were a paparazzi shoot of these three rich chicks getting caught in the middle of the night.

There’s a separate shot of boys, too, in trenches and black suits that don’t mimic the North Face puffies actually worn by private school boys, but definitely do imitate the Chuck Bass school of wardrobe.

The whole campaign is being shot by Steven Klein, and it’s almost (almost!) done.

A source on the set says Caroline Trentini is the nicest girl to deal with, but that’s no surprise…

Did Heidi Klum just reveal the first challenge of Project Runway’s Season Five?

She recently told Contact Music that she’s constantly inundated with requests to redesign uniforms for the likes of Starbucks and American Airline employees.

We’re pretty sure these people aren’t asking her directly, but probably the designer contestants she’ll be Auf’ing all season in a few months.

First up? Actually, probably Starbucks. It would fit in with the brand’s recent change of wardrobe anyway.

And the judge? Well, we’d hope for Armani, given his own work in uniform re-design, but we’re betting it’ll be more like Howard Schultz.

“I’m just an old-fashioned, shy girl” - Dita von Teese, to the Daily Mail.

Kerry Morgan, 22, model, (we know it breaks our rules, but we just had to)

Got Her: At the Vogue/Cover Girl party last night.

Stalked Her: Hello? Do you see her dress? Even Diddy gave her a second look. (He was wearing an original Members Only jacket, by the way).

Shot Her: Because we were staring at her for so long it would have been creepy if we didn’t go up and introduce ourselves.

She Says: “The shoes are Loubs! I wanted to wear something sexy so I borrowed the dress from Cassie. It’s Alessandro Dell’Acqua.”

We Say: Mission accomplished. And those aren’t just any Louboutins, they’re the Rodarte ones, and we seriously admire you for wearing those all night.

The sad thing is, we actually care about this stuff…

So we hear from a source at Epic Records that Audrina’s “work friend,” Chiara, will start having a bigger presence on the show. That seems to be good news, as the source claims Chiara is “smart,” “hard working,” and “rad.” Look out for her towards the end of this season.

Meanwhile, Jessica from People’s Revolution recently sent out an email saying she’d resigned to freelance for other companies. We hope at least one of those brands has an eyeshadow or mascara, because she has the coolest eyes we’ve ever seen.

But Jessica’s new absence leaves more questions:

1. How will Whitney triumph at work if someone else isn’t around to ignore the Pussycat Dolls?

2. Does this mean there’s a permanent spot open for Lauren?
