In California, we've been getting some awesomely delicious avocados lately. Chalk it up to avocado season, which runs from Spring to Fall. Even if you don't live in the Golden State, chances are, that green fruit you're savoring is from here anyway. 90 percent of the nation's crop comes out of California. From sandwiches and salads to salsas and other tropical-tinged flavor combinations, avocado Read more

Anne Hathaway was in character as Fantine as she shot Les Misérables with Hugh Jackman in London yesterday. The pair are teaming up on the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit, which required them both to undergo physical transformations. Anne cut her hair into a choppy pixie cut, while Hugh has previously been seen sporting a bushy beard and a buzz cut as Jean Valjean on the set. Read more

Last night's Valentino store opening drew a gathering of LA's best-dressed celebs to Rodeo Drive. The flagship fete was the opportune time for Hollywood's style crowd to don their prettiest Valentino frocks — there was hardly a pair of pants in sight, save for maybe one very lovely jumpsuit. We spotted the label's lace and leather confections, signature flashes of femininity in the form of Read more

Ladylike looks might be the big Spring trend, but when the thought of pulling on a pencil skirt seems unbearable, flip the switch and opt for a more masculine feel. These days, menswear-inspired pieces, like blazers and trousers, have become a closet staple and we're looking for new ways to emote the trend for the new season. Try out a pair of candy colored oxfords for a new twist, or take a risk Read more

When you're playing The Girl on Fire you have some big shoes to fill — especially when it comes to statement-making gowns. That said, Katniss may have had her day in the book, but it's clear from last night's LA premiere that Jennifer Lawrence owned the Hunger Games red carpet in a jaw-dropping gold lamé cutout gown from Prabal Gurung's Fall 2012 collection. Just a glimpse of Jennifer in this Read more

For all of its eclectic mix of music, movies, and digital sphere endeavors, there are more than a few ways to keep your fest fashion cool and dress for day-to-night occasions in one go.

All gorgeous iterations of volume and texture, Sarah Burton gives us a new slant on Alexander McQueen's futuristic sense with femininity and optimism for Fall 2012. She tapped right into girlish fantasy from the very beginning and saw it all the way through in pinks, fuchsia, floral-embellishment, and the most extreme proportions of fluff and fur. There may be less of the provocative, darker Read more

Both a reimagining and an homage to the label's signature aesthetic, Karl Lagerfeld plays in tweed, sporty silhouettes, and whimsical layers and texture (and bejeweled eyebrows) for Chanel's Fall 2012. Lagerfeld's all-star cast (minus a noticeably absent Freja), including Miranda Kerr, Joan Smalls, and Anja Rubik, took to the catwalk of a snowy white cave, done up in crystal embellishments that Read more

Stefano Pilati bid adieu to Yves Saint Laurent with a dark, sexy Fall 2012 in all moody iterations of womanly dress. There's both a sultry undercurrent and a definitive strength that runs throughout Pilati's finale. It's a give and take — boxier leather jackets and trousers, and sharp outerwear have as much of a place as slinky dresses and pencil skirts constructed in light-reflecting mesh. Read more

Given designers' affinity for the bold hue for both Spring '12 and Fall '12, it's time we make a serious case for orange.
