The TOMS Wrap Boot: Love 'Em, Or Lose 'Em?

I wear my TOMS slip ons all the time. They're perfect for lounging around the house or for a quick jaunt to the corner store. I have to admit the canvas is starting to wear a little thin for the fall and winter and my toes are getting cold! Guess they thought the same thing, since they just launched a new boot for fall called the "Wrap Boot." The boots have an elastic wrap that extends from the ankle up to your knee and closes with a Velcro closure. TOMS offers instructions and inspiration on how to wrap the boot (if you can really call it that) on their website. While I appreciate TOMS' commitment to helping children in need by giving them a pair of shoes for every pair I buy, have they gone a bit off in the deep end with the sports injury-inspired boot?

Mena Suvari's Leather Leggings: Love 'em or Lose 'em?

Love them or hate them, there's no denying that leather and leather-like leggings are showing up on the gams of celebs everywhere. From paparazzi shots of Lindsay Lohan strutting about town to Britney Spears vamping it up in her uber-hot new Womanizer video, leather leggings are proving to have more than a little staying power this fall. But would you wear them? Although they're popular with the Hollywood crowd, the style is just starting to hit mainstream, and I'm still undecided about whether they're flattering and cool or just plain tacky. Mena Suvari wore a provocative pair to the Blush Boutique Nightclub's First Anniversary Party. She paired her leather-clad legs with a slinky metallic top and chandelier earrings. Do you love her leather leggings? Or do you think she needs to lose them ASAP? Vote now!

Web Gem: Designer Garments That Do Double Duty

We've all had the experience (or at least dread) of showing up to an event wearing the same outfit as someone else. For me it happened at the SF Ballet opening, the girl seated directly in front of me was wearing the same DVF dress that I had sought out specifically for the event! Lucky for me People Stylewatch wasn't there to document my mortification. However, lucky for you, People has a series of polls up asking you to judge just which star wore it best. Lucky for these stars, they don't seem to be at the same events, but let's be real, Hollywood is one big event! Who wore the Elizabeth and James blazer better?-- Rihanna or Karina Smirnoff? Click on over to make your vote on this poll and many more!

Home Poll: Which Crazy Bookshelf Will Hold Your Summer Reading?

For some, summer reading means a stack of new books (and possibly a poolside vacation on which to finish them). For others, it means cool new furniture to hold said books. The Hive's full of bookshelves, some crazy and some less so. Stylehive member AuntBee has hived not one but TWO super cool shelves, and since I couldn't possibly decide which one's cooler on my own, I'm leaving it up to you.

Style Poll: Which Swing Will You Swing On This Spring?

Spring hit New York City today. It is 60 degrees out. Daffodil buds are poking through the trash strewn curbside gardens. Little gray squirrels are chasing each other from lamppost to razor wire. Pigeons are cooing and ruffling their feathers as they dodge pedestrians and cabs. Rats are tending to their shedding fur in vacant lots. All that is missing from the idyllic fairy tale setting is a sweet little swing. I think I could charge $50/half hour for a ride on any of these. I could just hang it from the fire escape. KaCHING!

Boy Fight! Who Looks the Hottest, Adrian or Jason?

I know how hard Adrian Grenier worked for that beard. Last month I made it to 15 days without shaving and basically couldn't sleep because the hairs, at about an inch long, were stabbing into my cheeks like a million needles when I lay my head on my pillow. One more week of pain, and I would have been on my way to a full Adrian. Now, having hacked it off with a Mach 3, I am about to instead get my hair dyed and spiked, more along the lines of Jason Lewis.
