– HAYDEN PANETTIERE, swinging by Los Angeles boutique Alice + Olivia. In the store, the Heroes star left with several pieces, including a pailette navy dress, a pleated knit top and a bugle bead “Marilyn” dress.

– CHRISTINA AGUILERA, adding to her baby registry at Petit Tresor along with hubby JORDAN BRATMAN. While the couple arrived as the store was closing, they spent about an hour browsing – looking at furniture (including cribs and a changing table) in addition to more fun items like stuffed animals. Bratman seemed especially interested in an item by Kaloo called “My First Sofa” which resembled a beanbag chair.

– PINK, picking up an array of items at LF’s Soho store. The rocker loaded up on fall-ready gear, including a sweater vest, a plaid anorak and some high-waisted cords. And Pink was feeling charitable towards others: She donated $50 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation with her purchases and signed a T-shirt for the cause.

– After watching a segment on the “corset jean” on the Tyra Banks Show, America’s Next Top Model season 8 champ JASELENE GONZALEZ followed her mentor’s lead and picked up a few pairs for herself. Stopping into the LF boutique on New York’s Fifth Ave., the model picked up two pair of Era of Chaos corset jeans — along with a metallic blouse and metallic jacket by Please.

– NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, attending to his skincare needs with a shopping spree at the Kiehl’s store at The Grove in Los Angeles. The How I Met Your Mother star snapped up the Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser, Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant, Hand Salve and Ultra Facial Cream.

– LINDSAY LOHAN, walking out of a Salt Lake City Nordstrom with $500 of Jessica Simpson brand shoes. The actress skipped the boxes, asking a sales rep to place the shoes directly in a bag for her.

This year Saks Fifth Avenue has teamed with Juicy Couture to create a limited edition T-shirt to benefit their annual breast cancer fund, Key To The Cure. The campaign raises funds for more than 50 charitable programs dedicated to finding new detection methods, treatments and, hopefully, a cure for women’s cancers through the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Renée Zellweger has been named the EIF’s ambassador for the 2007 campaign and models the “Viva La Cure” shirt made exclusively for Sak’s Fifth Avenue with all proceeds from its sale to benefit EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Stop by any Sak’s location to pick up a shirt, $35, or order yours online at saksfifthavenue.com. If you want to give more, shop at your local Saks Fifth Avenue from October 18 to 21 and a percentage of all sales from the weekend will benefit local organizations through EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund.

It’s all about Melrose Place — no, not the show — the actual street! Monique Lhuillier, the favorite of A-list actresses and brides alike, has relocated to her new West Hollywood boutique to just down the street from Oscar De La Renta and Marc Jacobs. “I’ve had such great Hollywood support since we started 9 years ago,” Lhuillier tells PEOPLE. “So to have a flagship store that is this beautiful and big allows us to show the whole Monique Lhuillier lifestyle and brand.” The new 4,200-square foot store features her new line of handbags as well as a bridal section and racks of couture gowns. Sure to be a popular spot during awards season, the store also boasts a VIP entrance and fitting rooms. Stars like Kristen Bell, Becki Newton, Rebecca Gayheart and even First Lady of California Maria Shriver came out to support the opening. Wearing a daring ruffled black and white dress, Kristen Bell said, “Monique knows how to design for petite women like me, because she’s small. Her dresses are so feminine and delicate but still bold.” After walking in, Maria Menounos added, “there’s nothing boutique about this. It’s a mini luxury department store!”

With her curvy shape, America Ferrera really works this 40’s inspired glam look. But she’s not the only one star who’s loving high-waisted pencil skirts — we’ve spotted everyone from Victoria Beckham to Kate Walsh donning it. Unlike high-waisted jeans (which are tough on many body shapes), these sexy numbers are universally flattering and actually slim down your silhouette. Just remember to wear it with stilettos, wedges or high heeled boots. The longer your leg appears, the better. Tell us: Is this a trend you would try?
