After much-anticipation, The Hills star Whitney Port’s line is here! The former Teen Vogue intern and pal Adrienne Baravetto have co-designed a collection of sparkly party dresses. From what we’ve seen, Whitney’s Eve line is a little more high-fashion than friend Lauren Conrad’s casual dresses, and perfect for a night out the town. Some of Whitney’s designs have already made it to the floor of celeb haunt Kitson, and online — and it looks like her collection will be going neck-to-neck with Heidi’s more affordable one. We have to say, this ruffle-necked dress totally looks like something Whitney would wear. Get it, $345, and another Whitney Eve look at shopkitson.com. Tell us: What do you think of Whitney’s new pieces? Would you wear them?

The New Kids on the Block are doing their part to fight for a cure during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And it’s an issue that hits close to home for the band. After singer Danny Wood’s mother Elizabeth “Betty” Wood passed away after a battle with the disease, Danny and the other New Kids knew they wanted to do something to honor her memory and also benefit their fans. “A lot of the women coming to the shows need to be aware of early detection. They’re in that age from 25-35 where they need to get their first exams,” Danny tells PEOPLE. “That was the problem for my mother. By the time she found out, it was too late — and I don’t want that to happen to anyone else when it could be prevented.” To help support the cause and keep the memory of Elizabeth Wood alive, the band is selling limited-edition NKOTB tanks featuring the Breast Cancer pink ribbon, $35, with all proceeds supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Danny, who chose the charity says, “They’re the best foundation I’ve worked with. I’ve done their races in the past and I know it’s something my mom would have wanted.” Click here to purchase one of the tanks and help in the fight for a cure. –reporting by Michelle Tan
