Long before we knew the joys of a good manicure, we went to work ourselves, painting our nails with White Out in class. Now, that we’ve grown up and started using actual nail polish, we’ve rediscovered the matte white look of our younger days. But it’s clearly a tricky look to pull off correctly, and we’re not so sure about Heidi Montag‘s long nails in all-white. We want to know: Would you wear long white nails?

If Botkier’s hefty price tags have kept their celeb-loved It-bags out of your reach, your luck’s about to change.

Lately, it’s felt like every star is hopping on the bandwagon to start their own clothing line — from Matthew McConaughey to Heidi Montag, the list is getting never ending. But several style icons tossed their names into the ring last week, and they’ve got us wondering whose line will be most successful in the end. Lindsay Lohan, who’s designing a line of leggings, is known for her casual cool and red carpet sex appeal, while Rachel Bilson (who’s teaming up with DKNY Jeans) has impeccable street style and understated evening looks. And Avril Lavigne, who will be designing a junior’s line for Kohl’s, has made her girly-punk mix unmistable. Now we want to know whose line you’d buy! Tell us and vote in our poll below.

Joel and Benji Madden celebrated the opening of their first DCMA Collective store, which Joel described as “another baby” to PEOPLE, with their ladies by their side — Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton respectively. And while Nicole chose to wear a clingy vintage gown, Paris chose to support the boys’ endeavor. The star, who’s been wearing the line since she started dating Benji last month, customized her outfit for the night. “I made this! I took a shirt and cut it off and I glued all these crystals on right before I came here. It took like an hour. And the bra and jeans are from my lines,” she told PEOPLE between bites of a fish taco she picked up from the Taco Nazo cart that catered the party. Adds Benji: “She’s very supportive. I try to rep, too, so I have a Paris Hilton watch on,” he admits, later praising Hilton for her T-shirt creativity: “She did that herself! I picked some of the extra glue off, but that was it.” And don’t forget their matching initial rings! Tell us: Do you like Paris’s customized T-shirt?

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere may be a self-proclaimed bikini girl, but we can’t always say the same when it comes to the daunting task of finding a flattering yet stylish swimsuit. One of our biggest gripes is tracking down a chic bikini whose top and bottom are sold as a set, making comfort difficult for those of us who aren’t perfectly proportioned. That’s why we love swimwear lines from Shoshanna and Elizabeth Hurley, who sell their tops and bottoms separately. With swimsuit season coming upon us, the editors at StyleWatch wanted to hear your thoughts on finding the perfect bikini. Tell us: What’s your biggest anxiety when it comes to buying a swimsuit?

When it comes to designer collaborations, Target is always miles ahead of the curve. And their latest partnership with up-and-coming jewelry line Subversive may just be the best to-date.

And while the line isn’t slated to officially launch until March 23, we spotted dozens of pieces on the Target website now. Click here to be one of the first get Subversive.
