When it’s gloomy and cold outside, I crave color. One of the best ways to spice up any winter outfit—from a dress with tights to your important business woman’s suit—is a pair of bright, colorful, punchy pumps. No longer should you relegate your footwear to black and brown! Jewel tones are especially in this season—after the jump, 10 pairs of pumps in a dizzying array of pinks, reds, purples, and blues. Oh, and one yellow, just cause.

For some reason, putting on a striped cardigan will put you in a good mood. I think it has something to do with the fact that a striped cardigan gives off a more casual vibe than a solid one, thereby reminding you of the weekend. Don’t you just love the power of association?

When I was a child, two-finger, three-finger and four-finger rings were the height of fashion. What can I say? I grew up in the Bronx when hip-hop was definitely making its mark on fashion. My friends and I would make rings out of dollar bills and tape them together to create multi-finger rings. Now that Lauren Conrad was spotted wearing a two-finger name ring, designers have taken notice of this trend. Thankfully, all the rings aren’t iced out. Some are actually rather sophisticated and simple. And then others are truly playful and trendy. I wouldn’t advise spending a lot on one of these, unless you DIE for it like Rachel Zoe.

Back when I was in elementary school, I got to pick out a new lunch box and book bag at the end of summer in preparation for the school year. I miss starting fresh every fall, so maybe I should start buying myself a new bag every fall to continue the tradition in a more adult way. Since we’re all falling on hard times with the craziness on Wall Street, I think I’ll pick one of these—not one of them is over $100.

Scarlett Johansson, 23, and Ryan Reynolds, 31, were hitched in a ceremony held outside Vancouver, B.C., over the weekend. This morning, we got to talking about how many female celebrities had married at a young age, and we were rather shocked at the number of young celebrity brides. Check out the slideshow after the jump, and let us know in the comments if you think Scarlett and Ryan have a chance at forever.

The other day I asked Catherine, “Do you think I should dye my hair bright red like Joan Holloway on “Mad Men"?" Catherine said, “No” as if the idea was out of the question. I suppose she’s right. I’d need to have the milky white skin that actress Christina Hendricks is blessed with. An added bonus would be to be blessed with this woman’s Botticelli-esque figure, but that’s just dreamin’. Anyway, after the jump, some of Hendrick’s most glorious looks—a little more modern than Holloway’s, of course, but drool-worthy nonetheless.

As much as I love Don Draper and Dexter and Hank Moody, I’m always happy to have some new eye candy to gaze upon during my nightly TV ritual. The Fall TV schedule brings a plethora of new faces to the small screen on brand spankin’ new shows that either rule for more than just the hotness (like Fox’s “Fringe") or are just worth a quick glance (um, “Knight Rider"). After the jump, 10 new-to-TV actors that you won’t want to miss.

For the last few weeks, and up until this Sunday, it’s been a big time for TV addicts—so many shows are back! And with them comes the hot dudes that make the shows worth watching (well, in addition to awesome stories, great acting, etcetera). After the jump, 10 TV actors we’re so psyched to have back in our lives, including John Krasinski ("The Office” returns tomorrow night!) and Gale Harold, a new addition to “Desperate Housewives” (premiering this Sunday) whom we’ve loved since “Queer As Folk”.

When some people see silver shoes, ”2001: A Space Odyssey” comes to mind. But when I see them, I think, These will match everything in my closet! Because metallics like silver and gold aren’t really colors, you’ll be able to wear them with even more of your clothes than a pair of black heels—as long as you don’t mind putting up with a few cracks about your space-age kicks.

I love award shows, so this means something coming from me—The Emmy’s sucked. And I’m not just bitter because Jon Hamm didn’t win Best Actor in a Drama Series for playing Don Draper on “Mad Men”. The best moment, by far, of the whole night was Tina Fey’s acceptance speech, but outside of that, the only thing I could muster up any enthusiasm about was the clothes. After the jump, ten looks that stood out, to go along with our poll below.

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say your relationship status suddenly went from “HAPPILY ENGAGED” to “HEARTBROKEN AND IN LIMBO”. In addition to how absolutely crappy you might feel, your ring finger probably feels a little naked too, without the presence of its previous occupant, aka your engagement ring. Even if you’re not one of these suffering souls, there’s no reason why a lady can’t buy herself her own damn ring to wear on, yes, her left ring finger. After the jump, 10 rings that say “I love you, self” better than any rock.

When I heard that VP-nominee Sarah Palin installed a tanning bed in the Governor’s Mansion in Alaska, I was simultaneously amused and appalled. But Palin isn’t alone. There are tons of celebrities who are STILL fans of visiting the tanning salon despite all the research which shows how dangerous the practice is—of course, some of them do indulge in the much safer spray-tanning craze, as well. Either way, the color their skin turns is hardly what you’d consider...flattering or particularly natural and healthy-looking. Check out the color samples above—those are the actual skin colors of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton—with the imaginary names I’d give them if they actually bottled it in fake tanner formula. Check out all the celebrities with an obsession for having a bronze glow, after the jump…

It’s no surprise designers are looking to superheroes for inspiration this season. This summer saw the release of five superhero movies. Even if you don’t possess any supernatural powers, that doesn’t mean you can’t dress like a super-heroine. Put a kung-fu kick in your wardrobe by adding leather, latex, and killer heels. Adopt a super-alter ego, dress accordingly, and let your talents be your superpowers.

Floral prints don’t have the greatest fashion reputation. Stuffy garden party outfits, your grandmother’s bedspread, every dress Elaine ever wore on Seinfeld—these are the stuff of fashion nightmares. This fall, flowery fabrics are cropping up all over the place. Even though spring is generally thought of as the flower power season, pair these looks with autumnal colors like rust, orange, and gold, and you’ll be in the roses.

It’s time to start shopping (or lusting) for boots. Before you know it, the leaves will change colors and starting falling, the isolated thunderstorms of the summer will change to steady rain all day, and the temperature will drop, making closed-toe boots a necessity. This season boots are being done in many colors, but one of the hottest is gray. Texture, mixing patterns, fold-overs, detailed stitching and patent are other standout features on this season’s boots. Since boots have varying shafts, ankle to over-the-knee, you will definitely find a pair that suits the length of your leg.

Did the budget get majorly cut for this year’s award show? Sure seemed like it, given the scaled down event space and the horrendous lineup of performers. Host Russell Brand was either hysterically funny or horribly flat, depending on who you ask, but I think everyone can agree that the British comedian (known for his role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall) was basically off the teleprompter the majority of the time, inciting anger in teen virgins (like Jordin Sparks and the Jonas Brothers) and Republicans (we’re sure Speidi didn’t appreciate his firestorm of insults spewed about President Bush and Sarah Palin). Suffice it to say, if Sparks, the Jonas Brothers, and MTV producers have anything to say about it, Brand will be getting a full body cavity check the next time he goes through immigration—that is, if he’s ever allowed in the States again.
