Instead of tacky flag tee shirts and such, throw on a comfy (but flattering), cotton dress in either red or navy blue. Then, add some simple accessories - clutch, necklace, sandals - in the other color.

Play around with layering, or search for trendy color-block patterns using, of course, some combination of red, white, and blue.

However you dress, enjoy your day!

The new line is called David Babaii for WildAid, and includes several eco-conscious hair care products and a mission devoted to wildlife preservation.
During the promotional shows on HSN David Babaii will demonstrate how he achieves red carpet hairstyles. Also, Kate Hudson will be calling in to talk about her work with the product and to answer viewers’ questions. All sessions will also be available to view online, at HSN’s Web site.

The line was created to combine two of David and Kate’s top passions in life - “the nature in beauty and the beauty in
nature.” A percentage of the revenue from David Babaii for WildAid will benefit WildAid, a global wildlife conservation organization.

If you said Ashley Judd and plus-size clothes you win!

Ashley Judd, who already has her own collection on sale at Goody’s Family Clothing (primarily in the southeastern states), is now introducing her Goody’s customers to something bigger and better.

Ashley Judd Plus is a line similar to her current organic wear, but for the plus-size woman … like her sister Wynonna Judd who has talked about how growing up she battled depression and weight issues related to the fact that Ashley was the “pretty, skinny one”?

As always, a portion of the sales from Ashley Judd’s collections - available exclusively at Goody’s - will benefit Goody’s Good Deeds for Good Schools program.

The family has not officially announced the birth or name, yet, but a nurse at the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center betrayed them and secretly called CNN, who immediately reported it.

Expect pictures and more in OK! magazine - Spears officially announced her pregnancy through this magazine, and is expected to sell the rights to her baby’s first photos to them as well.

The fashion master took the soccer master to Malibu Beach, California, and got him, once again, down to his skivvies. But now that Armani knows how the public reacts to a sexy, near-naked Becks, he didn’t just place this one in magazines and on billboards (though you will be able to find it there soon, as well) – it’s on the side of a Macy*s building in San Francisco.

Check out the photo here, from the unveiling of the mural on Wednesday, June 18. Now, prepare yourself to hear gossip shows and more talk about it non-stop for the next month or so.

If only I had done my taxes on time, I’d be indulging in the For Your Eyes Only online Kate Spade sale right now. But, alas, I have not yet received my governmental mad money and must continue to wait.

Check out the For Your Eyes Only sale where you can find purses, diaper bags, shoes, wallets, and even a few notebooks by summery designer Kate Spade. It’s a quick sale - lasting from today, June 17, through Friday, June 20 only. But with prices up to 60 percent below retail, it’s worth a expedient look.

Perhaps celebrities see TRL as an opportunity to wear whatever they feel like? Perhaps they decided that feeling cute is more important than wearing something that flatters your figure? Or perhaps an appearance on MTV is not worth spending the money to pay your stylist?

I’m all for 1950s and 1960s fashion … but updated, and fit to flatter.

Now, to keep up with the online market, sample sales are starting to move to the Internet, and Top Button is attempting to keep up. The community Web site has just launched The Top Secret - an exclusive (albeit incredibly slow) online place to gain access to bargains and steals that even Jane Smith in Arkansas can partake in.

Don’t worry about the site boasting an invite-only membership; for a limited time, register at Top Button, and you will receive access to The Top Secret. Or maybe if you ask real nice, I’ll invite you!
