After seeing The Tyra Banks Show and a segment on the “corset jean,” America’s Next Top Model Jaslene Gonzalez had to follow her mentor’s lead and get a few pairs of her own. The ANTM Cycle 8 winner headed to LF boutique on 5th Avenue in New York and picked up two pairs of Era of Chaos corset denim jeans, along with a metallic blouse and metallic Jacket by Please. Lucky for Jaslene, she had the perfect place to break in her trendy new jeans — the release party for Jennifer Lopez’s CD Brave at N.Y.C. hotspot Buddakan. Tell us: Would you wear corset jeans like Jaslene’s?

While we all know Estee Lauder’s makeup and fragrances, you may not know that they have always been a strong supporter in the fight against breast cancer. With sales from their Pink Ribbon Collection, Estee Lauder will be donating a generous $500,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And with items like their sleek compact set, $45, and their high shine lipgloss in Pink Ribbon Pink, $16, they’re making it quite easy for us to help them with this cause. Go to nordstrom.com to see the rest of the Pink Ribbon collection.

I love Jessica Simpson’s red polka dot shirt! Can you find it for me?–Shannon

The Texas girl brought some country ruffle to New York City where she is reportedly in town to hunt for an apartment. While real estate shopping in the Big Apple, the singer stayed cool in a sweet Joie red and white polka dot top and her favorite William Rast jeans. Jessica Simpson must have really been in a New York State of Mind because even her monogrammed Louis Vuitton bag is called the “Manhattan”. We found both Jessica’s pieces — and, of course, some more budget-friendly options!

Tuesday night, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen brought out some of London’s biggest It girls — from singer Amy Winehouse to socialite Peaches Geldof — to show off their new high-end clothing The Row at Harvey Nichols. And while the twins predictably wore some outrageous accessories — check out Mary-Kate’s super-hairy jacket and Ashley’s S&M-style studded Christian Louboutin boots! — what we’re really liking is their suddenly straight hair! After years of signature messy waves, Mary-Kate and Ashley have gone straight and sleek, and it looks great! Ditto to their barely-there makeup. Not that we don’t love seeing Mary-Kate try out braided updos and Ashley working dark maroon lips, but the sisters look the best they have in years here. Tell us: What do you think of the Olsens’ straight and sleek look?
