Be Italian: We totally agree on the Penny Lane girl crush of course. We can’t even describe the levels of excitement we have for Nine. And Kate never fails to look super cute. Seriously this press tour is going to be out of control fashion-wise. {WhoWhatWear}

Not That Lisa Kline: But the one who styled Sarah and the rest of the Palin clan during the campaign finally comes out to clear the air. And she was asked to do the big makeover during a holiday weekend. Yikes on so many levels. {NY Times}

Change the Date: Fashion’s Night Out is moving to Friday September 10th so that you can drink champagne, shop, and shotgun beers all night long without having to show up for work the next morning. Sweet. {WWD}

That’s Me in the Corner: I (Abby) remember when all my REM tunes were actually on cassette tape. Hence I was automatically drawn to this one-off collaboration between Michael Stipe and Maison Martin Margiela. Though I don’t think I would try wearing it as an eye patch as someone in the shot did. {Racked}

Add A Slash: As in model/actress. Next up is Agyness who’s shooting a short film with the guy who plays the ADA on Law & Order. Also we now have “Celebrity Skin” running through our heads, which is not a bad thing at all. {Page Six}

Is Adidas the New Target: They’ve had Jeremy Scott and Stella McCartney, but now they’re onto British brand PPQ. Here’s your first look at their stripe-y, Catwoman-y collection. {Nylon}

Rita Hayworth Gave Good Face: Lindsay Lohan does not. God love (or hate) the Daily Mail for pointing out what we also witnessed last night, some seriously weird expressions that did nothing but age the girl in a major way. {Daily Mail}

Right On: Tabitha Simmons styled a great mini-shoot with the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists. There are actors (Sebastian Stan), there are models (Lily Donaldson), there are designers (Patrick Ervell) and there are really great clothes. {Vogue}

Best Dressed: Nora & Delia Ephron talk about their new Broadway play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, which they adapted from Ilene Beckerman’s book. They reflect on Saks, I. Magnin, Audrey Hepburn and the magic of the perfect outfit. {Glamour}

Sex Sells: We’d kind of forgotten about the Sex and the City sequel, but now Penelope Cruz is in it and we’re suddenly really interested. Whoever dressed in her in that head-to-toe Rick Owens look the other night could give Pat a run for her money. {Grazia}

WTF: Pamela Anderson apparently used a random nine-year-old girl to hold up her train all night at an awards show. Um, and referred to her as her “daughter” and made her sit at her feet? Well, that’s the weirdest part of the day so far. Other than the fact that I was on the Fox News site. {FoxNews}

A Fashion Veneta: Booth Moore’s in Milan, well actually everyone’s in Milan, for Men’s Fashion Week. She caught the Bottega Veneta show on camera. Will purple ever not be in for men? {LATimes}

Surprise, Surprise: Look who’s on the cover of Teen Vogue. Emma Watson, looking like we do in our wildest dreams and saying, like they all do, “I want to be normal.” {TeenVogue}

Say It’s So: Gap’s bringing back their Heaven and Dream fragrances, the latter of which throws me back to my 8th grade locker, Third Eye Blind, Doc Martens and tiny floral dresses. {BeautyAddict}

Cover Boy: GQ and Bruno…together at last. We would have killed to be on that set. {NY Post}

Who’s the Fairest of them All? Vanity Fair’s trying to figure out who the best looking man is. We hear our favorite polo player, Nacho, is pulling away from our favorite vampire, R Patz. May the best man win. {Vanity Fair}

Who Wears Short Shorts? Well, maybe they weren’t all that short but Alex Wang rocked some at the CFDAs. In a shocking twist, Marc wore pants. {StyleFile}

TMI: We now know more about the self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel than we ever cared to. {Jezebel}

Blonde Ambition: Sessilee lightens up in Vogue Italia. We rather like it. {FashionGoneRogue}

Dirrrty Riot Grrrls: We can’t wait to see what sartorial decisions Christina Aguilera makes based on her new musical collabo with feminist trio Le Tigre. Maybe she’ll bring back some weirdo pants just to spite Lady Gaga. {Popwatch}

The Baron Returns: Fabien’s back in at Interview. We get why they need his creativity, but still haven’t quite decided what the upside is for him. Word has it much more staff shuffling is to come. {FWD}

Model Girfriend: Kanye’s lady (or maybe ex?) Amber Rose just signed with Ford. We’re supposed to see him at a party tonight…stay tuned tomorrow for updated relationship status. {Racked}

Online Targets: Target’s embracing online media with the help of Daily Candy. They’re launching Red Hot Shop - a selection of up-and-coming designers, articles and artwork compiled by Daily Candy editors. {WSJ}

Fashion Fight: There’s been a slight controversy over Susie Bubble’s Pam Hogg fitting room photos. Here’s the latest update. {Racked}

Coming to America: Luella’s finally shipping to America! Come July you can buy directly from her website which is a huge improvement from the tight edit Net-a-Porter offers - since that was the only way to get your rich-Brit-rock-n-roll outfits before. {Nylon}

Envision This: Pics from the Visionaire & Calvin Klein party. When I grow up I hope to be a teeny tiny bit as cool as Cecilia Dean. {TheMoment}

Reality Check: Olivia Palermo may be trading her fake job at DVF in for a new fake job at Elle for the next season of The City. We are not amused. [NYPost]

Miss This Kitsch: Even if her fashion advice wasn’t as award-worthy as her acting skills, 80s soap opera star Brenda Dickson gives us a peek into her closet and her style. Hello hairspray! [TheMoment]

E.M. Phone Home: Eniko Mihalik, and her “famously alien eyes” are in the upcoming Vogue Nippon. [Models]

Niiiiice: Ikram just ordered a sold out white Margiela tux, allegedly for the first lady, which might push poor Oscar De La Renta over the edge. {FlyPaper}

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Just in case you weren’t going to watch Gossip Girl tonight, on top of the prom there’s an 80’s flashback or two. One costume includes the Givenchy pumps we want, um, now. {WWD}

Smell This: One of the reasons we avoid 5th avenue like the plague is our impatience with super slow tourists. The other? You smell like Abercrombie cologne from like a mile away. So this is just awesome. {Racked}

Stolen Crush: Karl gets all the cool girls — now he’s directing a short film with Lara Stone and we’re super jealous. {Fashionologie}

Heart Chloe: Reports filtering in that 30% will be knocked off almost all of uptown Bloomingdale’s Chloe handbags May 6th & 7th. {Racked}

Not Cool: Someone used their unemployment check to buy Matthew Williamson for H&M this morning. {NYMag}

Silly Simon: The master of windows makes the Queen out of ribbon and sticks her in Barneys’ windows in honor of Sir Paul Smith. If anyone can make the recession a happy time, it’s Simon Doonan. {Racked}

Brad Who?: Rachel Zoe needs a new assistant, maybe. This anonymous Craigslist ad suggests Brad’s fallen by the wayside. Too bad we love New York. {Blackbook}

This Dress Please: Who makes the dress Agy’s making out in? {Fashionologie}

Gap’s Fifth Avenue pop-up shop’s currently full of ballerina clothes and six-year-olds twirling in pastel tutus.

But come Wednesday, April 30th, it’ll be an Urban Beach Pop-Up shop. Gap’s collaborating with Havaianas to kick off summer with an abundance of Brazilian, neon flip-flops.

You’ll be able to customize them, too - mix and match colors, add flowers, your initials, rhinestones, stars, whatever you want to have on your feet for the next three months.

Meanwhile, we’re desperately hoping their Pierre Hardy collection for lands early, like tomorrow early, because we need these sandals immédiatement.

Model Genius: Coco Rocha learns how to do her own hair & make-up. No longer needs Pat & Guido. {OhSoCoco}

Go Arlenis: Arlenis Sosa rocks the cover of Vogue Germany. {Models}

Even if you’re not in LA, you probably heard about Erin Wasson’s garage sale, where she practically emptied out her closet and sold her Wang and Balenciaga (among others) for $100 per piece.

It sounded fun, it benefited charity, but many wondered aloud why you would clear your closet so ruthlessly (the last time we tried this, we ended up with a Hefty bag full of Urban Outfitters from high school, which we’re pretty sure nobody was willing to buy) when your average dress comes from Fendi instead of Forever. Turns out, there was a real reason behind it:

In this weekend’s Guardian, Erin described her dream closet, “a rolling rack and it’s like your four T-shirts, your five dresses, your two pairs of jeans,” which Erin considers to be “very Japanese” and a more “utilitarian” approach than what she had pre-sale.

So there you have it. The next time you see Erin in a party dress, you might be able to talk her into giving it to you in exchange for a donation. Just start the conversation with konnichiwa.

Looks like Allie from The City really is a model - here she is in Tracy Feith’s line for Target.

Natalie: I can’t believe all this news about ABS knocking off the Jason Wu dress. I mean who would wear that knock-off? It’s so recognizable anyone on the planet would be like, “Dude, you’re wearing Michelle Obama’s dress.”

Britt: But that’s what they do. All they do is knock off famous dresses.

Natalie: But I feel like it’s different this time. Everyone knows this dress.

Britt: But everyone knew Gwyneth’s pink Ralph Oscar dress.

Natalie: But this is different! You don’t have to follow fashion to know this dress.

Britt: I promise you people will buy it. It will sell out in minutes.

Natalie: God, I would love to meet these people, I have so many questions for them.

Britt: No you wouldn’t.

Natalie: It would be so embarrassing! I would never be able to get it out of my head, “I’m wearing a wannabe First Lady ballgown.”

Britt: Well if you see anybody in it, you should tell them they could’ve bought it at Jessica McClintock five years ago.

Natalie: It’s not even pretty.

Britt: I know, I know.

Last year’s rather girly, aka floral, House of Holland show was punctuated by a few pairs of jeans here and there - a small price to pay for massive amounts of Levi’s money.

This season, DKNY will benefit from the denim dollars, too.

Donna’s collaborating with Levi’s on three styles of jeans: a skinny, a boyfriend and a wide-leg. They land in stores (Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and Macy’s) in just a few weeks and will set you back a not-so-recession friendly $225.

They say the move’s for DKNY’s 20th birthday - DKNY launched with jeans in 1989 and Levi’s is the international word for jeans - but heaps of money can’t hurt either.

Meanwhile, in other Donna news, the designer’s finally agreed to do away with fur.

And to think, all it took was plastering Manhattan with graphic images of bloody bunnies.

Pop quiz:

If you’ve been to a Target since yesterday, did you see any of the Hayden-Harnett bags?

Because some people are reporting the bags aren’t out in Target stores yet, which is especially weird since it’s now the 29th, and the bags should have been out for grabbing starting yesterday.

So if you have any idea as to what’s going on, you know what to do.

In the meantime, the whole line’s on Target.com.
