Kate Middleton’s Dress To Go on Display?: Apparently Kate is considering letting the public see The Dress up close. Palace officials weren’t very helpful with the particulars of when or where, but stay tuned. {Independent} Bulgari Helps “Save the Children” With a New Ring: Bulgari has already donated $9 million to the Save the Children organization, which supports educational initiatives. The posh jeweler has pledged even more, and you can check out our very own Leah wearing the new silver and ceramic ring alongside the ladies of Sea of Shoes, Refinery 29, and Styleite. $75 of the purchase price goes towards Save the Children. {Stylelist} Riccardo Tisci's Visionaire Costs $495: But it shows Lara Stone tied up to a burning cross and the issue comes in a wooden box. That's totally worth it. {TheCut} Leggings Can Make You Fat. Maybe: The theory of one Daily Mail physiotherapist goes like this: Because the leggings do the work of holding in your flabby parts, you don’t have to, thus leading to more flabby parts. And also, they’re so good at making you forget you have a muffin top, that you stop going to the gym to work off your muffin top. Sounds like perfectly legit science. {DailyMail} The Next Most Hotly Anticipated Wedding Gown?: Did you forget that Jessica Simpson is engaged? We did, too. But she’s very excited about her upcoming nuptials and says of the dress, “I don't know if I want the big boom, or the curvy thing, but it will be something beautiful.” No doubt. {MTV}

Our friends at LA-based, upscale consignment boutique DecadesTwo.1 had a good year, and they want to celebrate by treating Fashionista readers to some Chanel! From today, January 3, through January 15, readers receive an extra 20% off DecadesTwo1.com's expanded collection of Chanel consignment pieces. Just use discount code CHA20 at checkout. More good news: It works for the entire site, just in case you see something that isn't Chanel that you've got to have. And if that wasn't enough to tempt you, Decades2.1 is doing another Chanel event with flash sales site HauteLook January 4-6. You won't be able to use your discount code, but we promise the markdowns will be deep. (Up to 60% off retail.) Plus, Chanel vintage from sister boutique Decades will also be on offer. (See that gorgeous dress at left? It's Chanel haute couture, cherry-picked by Decades owner Cameron Silver.) Thanks to DecadesTwo.1's Christos Garkinos and Cameron for hooking us up.

Sick of shopping for others already? Want to score something for yourself? Live in New York or Los Angeles? Then you're in luck: Mackage, the Canadian outerwear brand known for cool coats that don't break the bank, is opening its first US brick-and-mortar store in New York City. To celebrate, they're hosting an opening event tonight as well as a shopping event on Saturday, December 4. The shopping event will take place at their new store on Mercer Street in SoHo. Customers who spend $150 or more will receive a fancy leather case. (It's a pretty nice gift, we must say.) They'll also get a chance to chat and be fitted by Mackage founders Elisa and Eran.
