–A makeup-free RACHEL WEISZ, shopping along her with director husband DARREN ARONOFSKY at the Beatrix Ong shoe store in London’s Primrose Hill neighborhood. After shopping, the pair finished off their day together with a nice stroll.

–JENNIFER GARNER, making two stops into a favorite store, Elyse Walker, in the Pacific Palisades. The former Alias star loaded up on goods, buying a bunch of Zooey shirts, a Miu Miu top, a Marc Jacobs sweater and a Christopher Fischer sweater. And on her return visit – just a few days later – Garner came back for more sweaters, including one by DoDo + Angelika.

–Also making the shopping scene at Elyse Walker: LISA RINNA, feeling funky in a Dolce & Gabbana leopard print bikini, among her other purchases. And DENISE RICHARDS, accessorizing with a pink Bottega Veneta handbag and two pairs of Christian Louboutin pumps.

–Rocker LENNY KRAVITZ, stopping by Base, a funky store in Miami’s South Beach where he was stocking up before his trip to the Bahamas. Kravitz bought two t-shirts – one was black, the other was a rust-colored pocket crew neck – by Nice Collective and two pairs of board shorts (one by John Varvatos for Converse and the other pair was designed by Nice Collective). Apart from the shopping, the singer told the staff that he was finishing up work on his new CD.

What were the chances that Posh would slack off on her style while on vacation? Remember how well dressed she is just for the airport? While on a skiing trip in the French Alps with her adorable sons, the fashion-plate turned out everyday in a different and chic outfit. From her head-to-toe white North Face to her bold canary yellow Moncler puffer to her zippered black parker and white pants combo, Beckham has been turning heads where ever she shooshes. Even her razored blond locks get a sporty kick with a wide black headband. And the kicker to each of these fabulous outfits? Posh’s ski poles are logoed Chanel. Tell us: What do you think of Posh’s ski outfits?

Every mom knows that you need baby bags to hold a ton, but you still want them to be as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe. But sometimes that is harder that it should be. Luckily, Coach has stepped up to the plate with their Healthy Child Baby Bag, $348, in a new “scribble” design. Big enough to cart everything and stylish enough to save you from that gooey Mommy-and-Me look, the bag comes with a diaper changing pad, plenty of pockets and a detachable shoulder strap. The bag is only available on Coach.com, and 20% of online sales will benefit Healthy Child Healthy World, an organization that educates parents on how to create healthy environments for their children with cleaner, safer choices at home. No wonder moms like Jennifer Garner, Brooke Shields and Monet Mazur are already toting it.

We can barely contain our excitement: Cult-hit beauty brand, Kiehl’s, launched eight new lip glosses this month to join their iconic (and always sold-out) original potted glosses and well-loved lip balm. The best part about the new glosses? The texture’s more creamy than slick (like a cross between a gloss and a balm), the color is super-sheer, and they taste really fruity and zingy (like fresh pineapples and peaches). They contain antioxidants beta carotene and vitamin E to protect lips and fruit extracts, like grape seed, apricot seed, and mango seeds, to moisturize and soften. My favorite shade? Pink Rider, a dusty rose with a teeny bit of glimmer that’s great for day–or at night with smoky dark-gray eye shadow. They’re available on kiehls.com for $13.50. Get ‘em before they’re gone. –Elizabeth Lamont

In the April issue of StyleWatch there is a picture of Cameron Diaz wearing these really cute blue yoga type pants with a little ruffle on top. I was wondering if there is any way of finding out what brand they are?- Melodie

The gym buff has been seen all over L.A. in her workout clothes showing off her enviable figure. We absolutely love these yoga pants, too. The ruffle fold-over makes them girly and cute enough to wear out to lunch or running errands without having to stop home after the gym. These pants are from So Low and are available at SoLowStyle.com for $75 in black, ruby, vintage sapphire (as seen on Cameron) and army. Other stars like Jessica Biel, Rachel Bilson, and Nicole Richie also have a pair. Too bad Cameron’s amazing abs didn’t come with them! Check out more of our favorite A-listers working out in our Gym Chic gallery.
