–It. That’s the name of Alexa Chung’s new book. What’s it about? Unfortunately, we have to wait until Oct. 29 to get our hands on a copy, but the fashionista did take to Twitter to share a sneak peek pic of the cover (and told followers to judge her book by it). [Twitter]
–Talk about a chic bump! Pregnant Jaime King has a fancy pajama party in a new fashion-forward spread for Lonny magazine. And the pics are too pretty not to click through. [Lonny]

Why she did it: Because a pic of a fresh paint job is a “heart” magnet on Instagram
How crazy is it on a scale from one to Kim Kardashian’s blood facial? We give it a 3 since it’s completely painless, but it takes over an hour to complete (and some serious decision making)

It’s no secret that we love nail art around here, and judging by all your submissions to our YourTurn challenge, we have a sneaking suspicion you do too.
So for our August issue, we need you to weigh in on which celeb’s manicure from the past year you most want to try. Is it Rihanna‘s tribute to Benjamin Franklin? Zooey’s cute tux nails? Katy Perry‘s assorted cutesy-pie illustrations (like cupcakes and music notes?) Kelly Osbourne’s bows, or perhaps Alexa Chung’s evil eyes?
Vote in the poll below, then check out our August issue to see whose nails nabbed the top spot!

Had enough of all the gowns yet? Then it’s time to talk details, starting with the punked-out nailpolish we saw on some of our favorite stars.

Blake Lively: To accent her vine-embroidered Gucci Première gown, celebrity manicurist Elle put together a complicated mix of Red Carpet Manicure’s “Always Slate Never Early,” “Fake Bake” and “Black Stretch Limo,” then added rhinestones and glitter to create a vine effect that also seemed to pay homage to the night’s “Punk” theme, looking like hardcore chipped black polish from a distance.

In our weekly round-up of what we’re seeing sizzle (and fizzle) on the red carpet, we saw a lot of white pumps and red nails — and to complete our 1980s flashback, we saw one very elaborate updo straight out of ’87 that made us glad we’re in 2013.
Up: Red nails. Neutral nails? Not this week. We saw bright red talons on everyone from Zoë Saldana to Katy Perry to Florence Welch (not to mention Julianne Hough, above). We tend to reach for the bright pinks and light purples during the spring, but love the way a racy bright red hue revs up a more formal look.
