We’ve been huge fans of H & M’s designer collaborations since they launched their Karl Lagerfeld collection in 2004. And their latest partnership, this time with Finnish clothing and textile design house Marimekko, is no less exciting. Click here for more info on the summer ‘08 collection from our friends over at FabSugar.

Friday Night Light’s, Minka Kelly, might not have John Mayer to comfort her anymore, but she does have her trusty RAILS Indya Hoodies. The actress loves her double-breasted hoodies so much that she owns them in two different colors–cream and navy–and wears them over and over again. The RAILS Indya hoodie is popular among the young Hollywood set — Lindsay Lohan and Kristen Cavalleri both have the navy one! Owning doubles is nothing new in Hollywood–Fergie owns a $1200 Couture Couture by Juicy Couture dress in black and white, and Britney Spears’ has Primp hoodies in every pattern! We like the double-breasted look of the simple cotton RAILS hoodie and may just have to follow in Minka’s example and get two colors! Tell us: Do you buy things in multiples you really like?

Love Minka’s hoodie? Get it in white, navy or grey, $149, revolveclothing.com

Fresh from last week’s whimsical candy challenge, the remaining nine designers were faced with a more daunting task: designing prom dresses for a group of high school girls — who know exactly what they want for their big night — while staying true to themselves as designers. And as any Project Runway-er knows, the hardest challenges are when you’ve got to please more than just yourself. Check out all of the highlights and lowlights on our TV blog by clicking here. And come back to tell us: Which pairing do you think was the worst? The best? And do you think Kevin deserved to be auf’d?

Even though Halle Berry tried her best to stay out of clothes made especially for moms to be, she couldn’t resist snapping up a pair of J Brand’s body-hugging Mama J jeans to show off her curves during her last trimester. The stylish jeans, a partnership between J Brand and A Pea in the Pod, feature a front rise that cuts below the belly, a higher back rise, and elastic panels on the side instead of over the belly so you can wear them after giving birth. Get Halle’s Mama J jeans for $210 by clicking here. If you’re in the market for some maternity denim but don’t want to break the bank, check out these other styles:
