Uggs have finally started fading, replaced by motorcycle stompers, horse riding boots, and Wellies lined with extra socks. But in their place comes another vision of slouch: flannel pajama pants in plaids and prints, flapping in the streets.

We've seen the pants in Starbucks, at the Angelika Cinema, outside Chanel in Soho, uptown by the Met, and yesterday, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The fashion transgressors wearing them are young (15 - 30), accessorized (a faux Louis, a real Stam, a boy with a Prada duffel), and usually paired with a cropped jacket and huge sunglasses. One blown-out blonde wore hers in Dean & Deluca with a Michael Kors cable knit tunic and - despite the weather - London Sole ballet flats.

The upside: the pants do compliment the Alaskan hunting vibe everyone's got with their trapper hats.

Last week in London, Marc Jacobs drew a crowd and Gareth Pugh drew applause, but perhaps the real breakout star wasn't a designer - it was a website, called Dirty Dirty Dancing and skyrocketing, somehow, onto everyone's bookmarked pages.

The concept of the site is easy - photographer Alastair Alan goes to fashion parties, takes unposed photos of the general mayhem, then hits "post."

Addictive, absolutely, but also familiar: Nearly three years ago, L.A. photographer Mark Hunter launched Polaroid Scene, which later became The Cobra Snake, which later became humongous. Along with its New York counterpart, Last Night's Party, the site set off a voyeuristic sensation - anyone in the right place at the right time could be snapped, could be posted, could be famous (in fact one girl, Cory Kennedy, did get famous, landing columns in Paper and Nylon just for the reckless beauty she blipped on screen).

Is Dirty Dirty Dancing the latest in the trend? Sure, but with name checks last week on Style.com and French Vogue's website, it's also something bigger: a shift in fashion obsession from LA street style to the closets of London kids (and we will be discussing this a lot, in different ways, this week).

The good news? London's street style is more interesting, and Nicole Richie's huge-t-shirt-and-heart-earrings-style may fade from the big fashion books. The bad news? It's a long wait until Top Shop opens on our soil.

Also, an observation: it seems Mark is technically a more skilled photographer, or at least a more dynamic one...

Britney may not get a new Puma/ Heatherette/ Hearst bag, but maybe she'll get something better - a Judy Garland gown from Heatherette's Fall '07 line.

We remember seeing the photo-screened frocks in Heatherette's Fall show. Now here they are on Total Request Live, looking glittery and gorgeous and rather like Alber Elbaz's most recent dresses for Lanvin!

While Gemma Ward and Irina wore the clothes last season in Paris, they do seem to work better on the Heatherette crowd, who can appreciate the pop culture references and plastic-fantastic fifteen minutes that accompany them down the runway (or to a party).

In that vein: Heatherette's getting some major attention from MTV lately - besides yesterday's TRL appearance, they also shot an episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen in Queens, modeling the party's theme after their Fall '05 collection, Living Dolls.

Annie Churchill can make you come to charity benefits and sample sales - but can she make you TiVo?

The socialite/ writer/ actress gives it a go next season, when her first sitcom gets developed and produced for network TV. "It's about a woman whose family thinks she's a little crazy," she tells us, "because of some of the choices she's made - but really, it's the family who is nuts!"

Expect to see the show next year, starring Annie herself and also, quite possibly, the Vogue approved actress Byrdie Bell. Until then, catch Annie in the upcoming films The Brave Ones and The Nanny Diaries with Scarlett Johansson, and consider this:

If the stylishly smart Annie chooses to wear a fur (or rather, a faux fur) trapper hat, shouldn't we all consider it?

We haven't seen Rachel Zoe in person yet this season, but we did see her on the side of a bus.

Rachel's new ad campaign for skinny cell phones hits the streets this week, and here's the fun part: several buses have been slapped with a giant photo of the tiny stylist! It reminds us so much of Carrie Bradshaw's bus ad, and we started thinking - Rachel Zoe and Carrie Bradshaw are a pretty close match.

Aside from the streaky highlights, Rachel's a 40something style magnet whose glammed out look has girls in middle America scrambling for floaty tops and skinny jeans. Carrie's much the same, except her poison was Manolos. And instead of Mr. Big, Rachel Zoe has Ms. Teeny Tiny Lindsay, Ms. Teeny Tiny Keira, and Ms. Teeny Tiny Mischa...

Anyway, the bus blurred by so fast that we couldn't get a photo. So. The first person to email us a good shot of Rachel Zoe's bus gets a $20 Starbucks card.

And yes, if we had a $20 Starbucks card, this entry might be more coherent. It's Fashion Week - just smile and nod.

Manchester native Agyness Dean just cemented her It Girl status - after a rush of amazing editorials in W and Vogue, the pixie-cut punk just signed on to be Saturday's guest DJ at MisShapes - something her star lookalike, Madonna, did in 2005.

But the 20-year-old blondie doesn't just pose - this new face of Armani also just landed a record deal with her rock band, The Tyger Picks. UK rumors say they're especially electric during live shows, when rave-happy kids click their glow sticks together and scream lyrics back at Agyness.

Look for her on the runways starting tomorrow, and inside the DJ booth on Saturday, then decide - is this the face of a future superstar?
