From Brian Atwood's post-Thanksgiving shopping trips with mom to Meredith Rollins's Manolo Blahnik score, read on for the fashion flock's Black Friday memories.

With overall flawless styling.

The company has already fulfilled its recent pledge to acquire more footwear brands.

The acquisition gives Steve Madden a stake in the luxury market for the first time.

A week after Rachel Roy's line was discontinued by Jones Group, Brian Atwood seems to be slimming down, too.

Galliano's not going. See who is.

Bridal shoes are not traditionally the sexiest kind of footwear. Sensible white heels you'll never wear again, right? Wrong, if Brian Atwood has a say. He's launching a bridal collection.

Jersey Shore might be over, but that apparently doesn't mean seeing any less of J.Woww: The MTV star flashed a bit too much of herself at the network's New Year's show. {HuffPo} On Tumblr, 23-year-old Zara employee Francis Phommisai combines fashion editorials with Pokémon--and the results are kind of amazing. {Daily Beast} Crystal Harris finally wed her Playboy honey Hugh Hefner in a pink gown, which makes us wonder if this trend is finally over. {US Weekly} Meghan Collison goes under the sea for Mulberry’s spring campaign, shot by Tim Walker. {WWD}

We took a break from stalking Ryan Lochte at last night's Brian Atwood fete to check in with the man of the hour himself.

At last night's Brian Atwood soiree, on our quest to find and subsequently woo Ryan Lochte, we stumbled (seriously--we're talking 4" heels, people) into one of the most beautiful boys we ever did see, The Rachel Zoe Project's Jeremiah Brent. Obviously we couldn't pass up a chance to canoodle with this certified cutie--but we didn't have much time (Lochte was getting away), so we got right to it:
