We now have yet another option for guilt-free eyewear shopping. TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie announced today that in addition to its iconic slip-ons and shoe line, TOMS will now offer a collection of sunglasses. And because it’s TOMS, for every pair purchased, the company will give sight to someone in need.

It seems like you can’t walk ten feet without seeing a nipple today. First, Lady Gaga all over the CFDA awards, then Khloe Kardashian’s six minute exposed nipple extravaganza on Fox and Friends this morning, during which she sat chatting with the hosts in a see through top and no bra. (Showing no embarrassment, Khloe later tweeted: “Thank God! I f*cking love nipples!!!!”)
In honor of these two class acts, we decided to do a nip slip retrospective. You may be surprised at some of the starlets who’ve let their girls come out unannounced. Yes, the usual suspects like Mischa and Paris are there, but so are Keira Knightley and Beyonce.

The tongue-in-cheek French intimates brand, Pull-In, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the launch of a flagship concept store on the Bowery in New York.

London-based designer Mary Katrantzou is a bit of a star these days. Not only has she broken the mold of many of her peers by actually being stocked at plenty of American department stores (think Opening Ceremony, Barneys–even Neiman’s) she’s also influencing the next generation. (Seriously, so many of the collections at the SCAD fashion show were inspired by Katrantzou shapes and prints–I was blown away.)
I recently caught up with the busy designer to chat about the business, down time, and mystery collaborations.
