It might be the last official week of summer, but for California girls like Lauren Conrad and side-kick Audrina Patridge there are still plenty of beachside barbeque days left. The Hills girls hit the Silver Spoon Beach House in Malibu while filming an upcoming episode of their MTV reality show, baring their toned tummies and fabulous taste in bikinis. Nab either Lauren’s or Audrina’s for your own Labor Day fun and if not this weekend at least you’ll have a new bikini to kick off next summer with!

We’ve seen Rihanna try out some pretty different nail polishes before — from baby blue to shocking hot pink– but bright green? That’s a new one on us. The singer showed off her new nails while attending the California Speedway’s wide-open event, playing off her tie-dye dress. Don’t get us wrong, we love that Rihanna is so experimental and is always playing around with her look — but we’re just not sure that this is a look that we want to try. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear green nail polish like Rihanna? Do you like it on her?

All the graphic T-shirts in the line make references to societal problems, whether it’s global warming or identity theft.

If watching Lucy Liu hit the streets of New York in over-the-top designer duds on the set of the new ABC show Cashmere Mafia conjures Sarah Jessica Parker hitting the same streets in her famed Manolos, there’s a reason! Cashmere Mafia is using the same wardrobe team that Sex and the City had, including legendary stylist Patricia Field! While filming on a sunny day in the Big Apple, the petite star looked completely chic in a D&G blouse, vintage skirt and belt, satin Christian Louboutins and a Valentino bag. Just like with Sarah Jessica Parker’s on-screen wardrobe, we are going to be drooling over Lucy’s wardrobe when the show hits the air! But for now, we’ve got Lucy’s look for less!

Taking a break from promoting the mega-hit High School Musical 2, Zac Efron hit the gym for a quick workout. But not missing an opportunity to make a very literal style statement, Zac pounded the pavement in a t-shirt proclaiming “Reverse Psychology Doesn’t Work.” Could it be words of wisdom, teenage angst or just a comfy tee to work out in? Whatever the reason, you can purchase Zac’s Vintage Vantage brand t-shirt at balcony.co.uk for 16GBP or approximately $32.
