Swag We’ll Pay For: Hatley

Recently, stars visiting the Luxury Lounge at the Toronto Film Festival declined to take most posh freebies – designer jeans and the like — but they couldn’t resist scooping up adorable Hatley pajamas, raincoats and slogan tees for their kids. Heath Ledger nabbed a pink pony print Horseplay raincoat and rain boots for his baby daughter Mathilda. Rachel Weisz shunned free makeup but happily grabbed Bear Naked rompers and onesies (left), a Bear raincoat and little red Moose boots for her infant son, Henry.

I relate to all the frenzy. Hatley is one of those clothing lines that make you realize you’ve crossed that indefinable line and developed Mommy (or Daddy) Sensibilities — it is irresistibly cute! I love seeing my little girl in Hatley’s Well Bred pajamas (appliquéd with a dog, cat, or horse on the tee and matching leggings) or her own pink Horseplay raincoat (love that Heath and I have the same taste!). It’s definitely swag that I’d pay for – in fact, I just bought some more the other day. — Alison Gee

And You Thought Wearing Stilettos Hurt

So, it may not be Lindsay Lohan‘s best week ever, but we have total faith in her that she will make the cast on her fractured wrist as stylish as possible. But, we’ve already learned that you just can’t keep a good fashionista down, painful injury or not. Brooke Burns (right) tackled her broken neck with a sense of humor and a bedazzler — check out her super sparkly neck brace at an event in Los Angeles last December. One of PEOPLE’s Best Dressed, Christina Aguilera (left) sliced two tendons in her wrist in July 2005 but still managed to be the height of style, even attending the Dior Couture show in Paris with her cast wrapped in black chiffon to compliment her sleek dress. And the ultimate fashion icon, Madonna (middle), injured her shoulder and broke several ribs after a horseback riding accident at her English country estate last year (much like Matthew Broderick‘s recent injury), and dealt by blending her black sling to into all-black outfits — showing us that while bones may break, true style always stays intact.

No More Skinny Jeans for Kate?

Kate Moss was the center of attention yesterday in London when she turned up to attend an event for Topshop (right), fueling speculation that she has agreed to design a line for the store (loved by everyone from Moss to Kate Middleton). As much as we would love to see a collaboration between Kate and our beloved Topshop, our attention is totally focused on her jeans — specifically, her faded bell-bottom jeans. Not only is Moss always one step ahead of every fashion trend (she was even named “The Trendsetter” as one of PEOPLE’s Best Dressed), but she was one of the first to rock the super-dark, super-skinny jeans (left, in April), making tight, black denim a signature of her style. Now that Kate is wearing light flares again, does this mean that skinny jeans are on their last legs? Which look do you prefer?
