Win This! Nautica "Sleep In For The Cure" Bath Robe
Nautica is sponsoring the Susan G. Komen "Sleep In For The Cure" initiative to raise funds for breast cancer research. You see, not everyone is able to lace up their sneakers for Race For The Cure. Some people are too ill, are caring for a loved one, or simply have to work on race day. Instead, Susan G. Komen For The Cure and Nautica want participants to fight breast cancer from the comfort of their beds. That sounds like a workable plan for me. How about you? [Susan G. Komen for the Cure]

W Magazine Says "The Girl Who Eats Her Feelings" Is A Back-To-School Look
"The girl who eats her feelings" is a new trend-setting clique to emulate, says W magazine's recent piece on back-to-school style. If they were trying to describe the trend of wearing "curve-enhancing dresses worn with plenty of attitude," why would they call that dressing like "the girl who eats her feelings"? That's just ... being curvy.
What The Hell Are "Treggings"?
There's leggings. There's jeggings. So what the hell are "treggings"? It belies my maturity level when my first guess was "triceratops leggings." But no, treggings are a cross between leggings and trousers. A hybrid, if you will. Treggings are formfitting from the thighs to the legs, but are more structured on top and often have a zipper. Personally I would just call these "tight pants," but what do I know?
Anyone else think the cutesy names for various types of leggings are getting silly? [FabSugar]
Cheapskate: Workout Wear From $6
When it comes to working out, you'll usually find me in a large random T-shirt and a pair of leggings that aren't nice enough to really wear as an outfit. But now, as the summer is coming to an end, I've promised myself to keep up with my exercise. It's funny how being excited about a new garment or outfit can motivate us to get up and do something. With that and my promise in mind, I went searching for cute and affordable workout wear. Check out what I found, after the jump.
Bloomingdale's Has Just The Dress For Your Wonky Elbow!
Sometimes I think Jezebel is a little too anal in their war on Photoshop (for example, I disagree that Rolling Stone gave the women of "Mad Men" "brand new torsos"); however, sometimes the blog hunts down some truly gross examples of retouching gone wrong. Like this photo from Bloomingdales.com of a model wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress which, apparently, is the height of fashion for women with bizarrely dislocated elbows. Yikes! [Jezebel]
Frisky Q&A: Jessica Simpson Talks New Jeanswear Line And Fall Fashion
If you've tried Jessica Simpson's shoes, then you've probably fallen in love with them.

But before you run out and purchase these ultra comfortable, affordable, and chic jeans (I have a pair that fits like a glove), why not hear from Jessica, herself, about the new line, the fall must-haves, and making denim work at work? Keep reading for an exclusive Q&A with Jessica ...
H&M Scores Lanvin Collab In What Is Probably The Biggest High-Low Coup Yet
The speculation and rumors have been confirmed. Lanvin will indeed be designing a collection for H&M, due in stores November 23. Although H&M wasn't planning on disclosing the answers to their mysterious designer interview videos, the interwebs went nuts after guessing that one video featured Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, so the retailer released a clip revealing Elbaz's face. In the video, the he says, "When H&M approached us to do this collaboration, they asked if I could actually translate the dream that we created at Lanvin to a bigger audience. It wasn't a project about a dress for less ... I loved the idea that H&M is going luxury rather than Lanvin is going public." Interesting. Does that mean we can expect price points to be higher than normal for H&M?

from: Prescription Sunglasses
Do you find it difficult to stay under the sun with your clear prescription eyeglasses on? And you are having a second thought if you can also use that while you lay out at the beach enjoying the sun? How about your protection against the bright lights and the need to see clearly at the same time?
No longer to prescription eye glass wearers need to worry on those sunny days when your regular lenses just don’t help. Now you can get prescription sunglasses in almost any style and for almost any prescription. Yes, prescription sunglasses not eyeglasses.
From Gucci to Pravda, almost every fashion designer that has a line of regular prescription eyeglasses also has available fashionable sunglasses for the public. Now you don’t need to worry about searching for those tacky clip-on shades for your sunglasses or dealing with contact lenses when they bother your eyes.
Prescription sunglasses have become readily available at your local optometrist’s office. Prescriptions range anywhere from basic to high prescriptions, bifocals and progressive lenses for the prebyoptic consumer. There are even lines of children’s sunglasses for the kids in your life who wear prescription lenses.
The styles of prescription sunglasses available are pretty much the same as basic sunglasses. One exception is the wrap around glasses. Prescription lenses that curve typically distort vision, but Oakley makes a wraparound style that does accept prescription lenses. And lenses that hold a slightly curved wrap are available.
For people who don’t want to bother with prescription sunglasses, there are now lenses called photo chromatic lenses. It is an amazing innovation; your regular lenses are coated with a material that darkens in the sunlight and return to normal when indoors. The good thing with it, you don't have to change what kind of glasses you put on. You already have the sunglass and the prescription eye glasses that you need in one!
