Watcha doin this weekend?
Some shopping may be in order as it's GAP's Give & Get weekend. It's happening for four days only, Aug. 26-29 at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Banana Republic Factory Store and Gap Outlet in-store. Just click here to get your 30% off coupon and choose from one of 6 charities who will then receive 5% of proceeds from what you spend. Charities you can donate to include Feeding America, WWF, Big Brothers Big Sisters, TeachforAmerica and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Thank you US Weekly for not only providing insanely entertaining gym fodder/treadmill motivation but for also inspiring today's How-to Tuesday post.
If you dream of having Kim Kardashian's derriere or a J.Lo style backside and no amount of squats or carb-filled plates are helping you out, there's hope. And no, I don't mean butt implants.
Enter Booty Pop, the padded bra, er, panties, for a more shapely behind. Because, ya know, puffy pant pockets are oh-so-unflattering. They even come in four different colors: pink, purple, nude and black. You can get these at www.buybootypop.com.
While I was never really crazy about the end of summer and Back to School time, I did always look forward to Back to School shopping! (I know...shocking.)
This year, any wallet damage done at a Westcor location will help benefit the school of your choice. That's right, for every dollar spent between now and August 31st at a Westcor shopping mall, one point will be awarded to the school of your choosing. Westcor will match that and donate up to $50,000 to local schools! Not sure where to start? Here's a little deals cheat sheet:
Gap – 20% off one regular-priced item.
Journeys- 15% off the entire purchase
Aeropostale- $10 off any $50 purchase
Macy’s- purchase a $10 GLAMPASS and receive 20% off almost everything in Juniors and Young Men. 50% of the proceeds go to charity from the GLAMPASS sale.
The Children’s Place- 15% off your entire purchase
At the end of your shopping spree, be sure to stop by Guest Services to show your receipt and choose the school you'd like to donate your points to. It's that easy. Happy Back to School Shopping!

Why not kick the weekend off with some fashionable fun? Between this week's VIP opening of H&M at Scottsdale Fashion Square and tonight's fashion event at the W Scottsdale, there's plenty of cute outfits to scout and to wear.
I was finally able to stop by Ted Baker, one of the newest additions to the Barney's wing at Scottsdale Fashion Square and am absolutely lusting after a cream-colored sparkly number. But if you haven't had a chance to pop into the store yet and pick out one of your own obsessions, you can catch their spring/summer 2010 collection tonight at the W Scottsdale. The British label opened its first AZ store just last month and has both stylish mens and womenswear too.
Ted Baker Fashion Show: W Scottsdale, 10:30pm

If you aren't baking the second you step outside, you should definitely get checked out. It's hot. Way hot.

Guys, girls, if you don't own these already, stock up!
Both Garment Guards and Hollywood Fashion Tape produce great underam apparel shields that act as a barrier between you and your shirt.

We've all done it. Ya know, swore we would never embrace a trend and then ended up loving it. Yes, I'm talking to all of you who swore they'd never like point-toed shoes, skinny jeans and leggings. I was there. I remember the backlash. The conversations of "I'd never" that eventually turned into "well maybe..." and finally "look what I bought, it's so cute!" It's O.K., we all do it. I'm guilty of it too.
Which brings me to today's trend...the onesie/romper/jumpsuit. Jumpsuits forever remind me of J.Lo circa 1990s, but these updated little numbers are (gasp) kind of growing on me? (I may have bought one the other day on an impulse purchase and am still coming to terms with it.)
So for this week's Friday Poll I'm curious, would you rock a romper or is it still a fashion Don't?
Remember when I wrote that post on How to not dress tacky? I should've just waited for The Jersey Shore's JWOWW to debut her new fashion line, Filthy Couture, instead of scouring the web for some sluttastic photos! (Thank you JWOWW for the endless entertainment and bringing me back from my blogging nap.)
I must say, at least the collection is cohesive and definitely looks like the "designer." Though it also reeks of the Skkyy tops and True Religion jean pairings we see around here way too often. I'll make it up to you by posting something lovely in the future, I promise. In the meantime, what do you think of the collection? Isn't the name just perf??
All you beautiful West Coast ladies are going to love this one: next Wednesday, June 23, participating Kerastase salons are offering complimnetary conditioning treatments and blowouts! The "Our Treat Day" campaign is happening all over the West Coast for just a suggested donation of $10, which benefits Locks of Love.
Luscious locks and a good cause? What's not to love?!? I've already made my appointment, click here to make yours at a participating salon near you.
Does this come as a surprise? No, not really. Stylist Rachel Zoe has inked a deal with LF USA to release her own fashion collection as soon as fall 2011. WWD reports the collection will include clothing, accessories and shoes, too.
Like any fashionista with a line in the works, Zoe is quick to say "You will definitely see me in the clothes. Like, you will absolutely see my trademark pieces. I'll definitely do faux furs and incredible leather jackets and great trousers. But I'm catering to a broader audience."
What do you think? Are you excited for the Rachel Zoe collection? It might be time for us to bust our our “bananas” tees, oversize sunnies and drop 10 lbs. But hey, a little added glamour never hurt anyone. Especially from everyone's favorite LA stylist.
Tell me, Rachel Zoe Collection: Excited or Snooze??
