If you're at the office, you're probably counting down the hours 'til the holiday weekend kicks off. We think those hours pass more quickly with eye candy.

And today that comes to us from the Daily Mail in the form of Posh and Becks' latest Emporio Armani ad campaign. As the paper notes, the large rope that was featured in David's last solo venture makes repeat appearance.

But we're more into Victoria's hair (aside from their glistening bodies, that is.) We're long-time fans of the high pony. And while we won't be sporting one that sticks straight up in the air, we do rather like the idea of adding a braid.

Even you Beckham-haters have to admit they look pretty smokin' right? We hope they keep doing these underwear ads for many seasons to come.

We had a little thing in my family when I was younger that when someone was wrong, he/she had to repeat this sentence three times in rapid succession, "You were right and I was wrong."

Now, I'm not willing to completely concede on the face paint front by any means, but I do have to admit that Drew Barrymore may have been on to a trend (albeit one I'm not necessarily into) with her painted cheeks and forehead at Bonnaroo.

This spread from a story in the newest issue of V Magazine (shot by Willy Vanderperre) shows Iris sporting the darker, edgier version, in comparision to Drew's hippie fairy.

Regardless of my feelings on the matter, it seems that I may have to accept this as a trend for a bit longer than expected. But then again, it might just grow on me, in which case I'll totally do the "You were right..." speech, even if you all can't hear me.

If you're looking for something to do in the city over the long weekend, perhaps you should consider a trip to the Michali Fine Art Gallery on the Lower East Side to check out Hedi Ferjani's exhibit "The Art of War"

Now, of course, Hedi's not new to the scene having created the masks (recently shot by Steven Meisel) for Erin Fetherston's show last season and directing the short film for her Target collection. (His mom even worked at couture houses like YSL and Lanvin.) And we hear there's a W profile in the works.

What's cool about this exhibit (and what has the fash crowd newly obsessed) is the ironic play between something glamorous and something destructive, as in pretty guns and grenades. But we'll let you make your own interpretations.

Once you've seen the show, head on back here and let's have our own little web discussion group, because we really miss that about college.

So I know that many of you were annoyed with me when I told you about the nail polish collaboration between MAC and manicurist Jin Soon Choi without showing you the colors.

But now we can finally give you a look at Nail Trend F/W '09, which is available starting August 27th.

My favorite switches every time I try a new shade. Though right now, I'm rather partial to the khaki green. But as I said before, what I like the most is that they actually feel new.

Which one do you like best?

The Fourth of July/celebrate America's birthday angled press releases are rolling in this week. We promise to post any that get utterly ridiculous, like that Obama pasties set.

But this lingerie-themed invite might just interest a few of you, or perhaps your significant others.

Hanky Panky (my most favorite brand) is hosting a belated birthday party for our fine nation next week at Cipriani Wall Street, complete with an incredibly reasonable $40 price fix dinner and an informal fashion show.

Random? Sure. But also sounds like it could shape up to be a fun evening if you get the right group together.

Full invite and details after the jump!

Tiny, 21, intern

Got Her: Strolling down Broadway.

Stalked Her: Bright colors on a tall girl (don't let her moniker fool you) will always catch our attention.

Shot Her: Her total look was a refreshing change of pace from what we often see in our neighborhood, and then we also noticed her cornrows. Very Alice Dellal, except without any awkward regrowth periods.

She Said: She gets inspiration from street style, but overall the way she dresses is personal, “My style is my mood. When I'm happy, I'll just throw on this shirt.”

We Say: Keep smiling!

Camille, 22, intern

Got Her: Walking down Prince on her way to lunch.

Stalked Her: The lace lured us in.

Shot Her: Her light pink dress with its black lace overlay had us yearning to revive our lace addiction. When we got closer we noticed her super cute Miu Miu flats and layered pearls. We love how she managed to look fresh and young while combining such classics.

She Said: “I like a little bit of everything, and I've been super into pearls lately."

We Say: Antique chic. Nice.

Though the skies threatened to open up just about every other minute, most of the raindrops held off last night as we headed over to the penthouse at the Cooper Square Hotel to view the Sachin + Babi for Ankasa resort collection along with influential types like Fern Mallis and Meredith Melling-Burke.

The married designers started their own collection a few seasons ago after years of doing fabric work and embroideries for designers like Oscar and Vera. Basically, they wanted to bring their knowledge and skill in that area to a more accessible price point - dresses average about $300. And it worked.

We're even considering wearing sequins, something we haven't done since some choice high school dresses, after seeing the subtle way Ankasa uses them in not only dresses, but even shorts and pants. The cropped jackets, vests and necklaces were also favorites, as well as the navy and black story in the collection. Most of the work is hand-done in Mumbai with the designers on site for much of the process and you can definitely see it in the details.

Now if someone would just plan us a fabulous vacation on which to wear all of these lovely pieces...
