Hanes Comfortique @ Melrose Place

The Hanes Comfortique shop opened for three days on Melrose Place a couple weeks ago to unveil the new Comfortique line of intimates hosted by Jennifer Love Hewitt. It was cool to see all the celebs that were there and that this new favorite comfortable bra that I love, love, love, getting it's time in the limelight. (See my previous post here.) Models were dressed by celebrity stylist Jennifer Rade strutted their stuff wearing sheer recreations of the latest spring runway looks layered atop Hanes intimate apparel. Although the shop was around for only three days, you can shop for your Hanes Comfortique Bra online!

Pocket Change

Pockets on dresses are popping up everywhere from cute mini's to evening gowns at the Oscars. (Remember Sandra Bullock last year?) But these pockets aren't for stashing your loose change or lipstick. They are there so you can put your hands in 'em and walk nonchalantly down the street and say, "Oh I'm just breezin' by in this little o' thing." Pictured above is one of my favorite pocket dresses, the Pocket Babydoll Dress by Chloe Dao and Diana Eng for the final Fall 2006 runway show for Project Runway Season 2. (Photo: NY Mag.) You can buy this dress in gold or pewter from Chloe's Lot 8 site for only $298.

These new looks are being reinterpreted for cute summer dresses and are definitely worth your attention!
