STYLE TIP: ECO-BOHO

What to do with you dozens of dusty passé Boho necklaces? Before you start whimpering about the bygone Zoe-era of Siena Millermania (eh, bag-lady chic was kinda horrifying retrospect), hold your trash bags because where there's a will there's a new way to wear. Yep, save the planet by looping those weighty beaded necklaces around the wrist for a brand-new bracelet. Perfect for this season's chunky, colorful accessory wave, the boho bracelet will look ultra-fresh with an arm-bearing ensemble.

Now we just need to recycle those furry Nordic boots... Le sigh.

DESIGNER OF THE WEEK: DUTCHY HANDBAGS

Hailing from San Francisco, Audree Halasz imbues her unique line of Dutchy handbags with a love of classic design and a dash of carpe diem attitude.

Named after her father's mischievous boyhood reputation, the handbags follow suit with surprising details like eccentric brocade linings, beautiful beading and careful details. Halasz uses rare vintage fabrics whenever possible to complement the line's rich color palette of luxurious Italian leathers. Drawing inspiration from architecture, vintage treasures and daily life, Dutchy often features geometric forms sculpted in buttery soft leather to create a paradox of shape and texture. Utility is especially considered so items are kept organized and within reach for her busy clientele. Its no wonder celebrity fashionistas like Paris Hilton are snatching them up!

Check out Dutchy's delicious Fall menu and look for bright colors and new styles in Spring.

CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: SHE'S GOT THAT "NEW RELATIONSHIP" GLOW!

Well doesn't this just seem like a match made in comedy heaven! One of Hollywood's hottest new couples has tried to keep a fairly low profile, but it was only a matter of time before public sightings started to occur for Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey. They have reportedly gone on numerous romantic dates. I think it is couples like this that have the potential for longevity. Those who don't shove their coupling in the public eye (cough, cough, Tom and Katie) but who try and have their private life be just that, private. And you know Jenny and Jim crack each other up making their goofy faces!

Jenny was also spotted recently on a shopping spree, where she was seen wearing one of Karanina's flirty Fall 2006 dresses, the Lillian Dress in Jade Calypso. All I know is right now, Jenny looks happy and fun, so whatever (and whoever... Jim!) she's doing, it's working for her! Go Jenny!
