2008826: Paris Hilton Launches "The Bandit" Line of Hair Extension Headbands (video)

A socialite with style, Paris Hilton has brought her fashion forward finesse to her own line of shoes, handbags, fragrances...the list goes on and it continues to grow with the introduction of The Bandit hair extension headbands-- trendsetting tresses for glam on the go.

Made of 100% polyester fiber, The Bandit offers a range of hues to harmonize with your hair color. Women with fair hair will find that the signature Paris shade strikes a happy medium between the the sun kissed pale blonde extensions and the darker "winter blonde" tone, while brunettes are offered a selection of medium and dark browns, with a maple honey for hair with lighter highlights. Fans of frosted hair can also find their perfect match, as can those with raven locks.

Three different lengths allows you to differentiate your 'do in seconds. The 6" version, which can easily be worn by those with long locks, creates a bouncy bob, and those who slip on the 9" hair extension headband will brush a head of shoulder-length hair. The line's crowning glory is the flirtatious faux 22" mane which, like the others, is attached with Velco on to the four headbands (which come in leopard print, plaid and polka dots) provided with each purchase.


The Bandit brand of hair extension headbands will be available starting September 20, 2008. For more information visit www.parisandsally.com.

2008820: Mattel Reveals Elvis and Priscilla Presley "I Do" Day Dolls

Elvis enthusiasts will find that they "Can't Help Falling in Love" with Mattel's latest ode to the King of Rock and Roll and the woman he chose to be his queen, Priscilla. Looking like a living doll at her Vegas wedding ceremony in 1967, the Barbie version of the blushing bride mirrors her beauty on that memorable day with a white satin wedding dress trimmed in faux seed pearls, a cascading veil and a tiara to top her raven tresses, while an articulated Elvis looks dashing in his "I do" duds-- a
black, paisley print tuxedo.

Making their debut at Graceland during Elvis Week 2008, the first 190 fans to buy the dolls were presented with their purchase inside boxed sets with commemorative unveiling day stamps, creating an instant classic for collectors. Fans who are "All Shook Up" over the fact that they could not attend the annual tribute to Memphis's favorite son can still order the limited edition Elvis and Priscilla Barbie doll wedding set from www.shopelvis.com, which ships the item with a "Direct from Graceland" sticker (limit two per customer), or purchase the pair at Wal-Mart beginning in October 2008. The boxed set sells for $69.99 plus tax.

2008813: Sheryl Crow Launches Bootheel Trading Co. Clothing Line

Music and fashion have long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship, and while the latest Top 40 and clothing trends may come and go, denim will always be among the greatest hits in every woman's wardrobe.

Sold at Dillard's, the collection features the following environmentally-conscious creations:

Tops: Incorporating nuances of Native American culture, a dream catcher design decorates the scooped neckline of one printed T-shirt. Constructed of a body-conscious cotton-polyester blend, the long-sleeve Tee, which sells for $30, also features burnout detailing for a well-traveled look.

A 60's-inspired print, another Tee design features an international symbol of peace, the dove, printed over a burnout design which heightens the garment's weathered appeal.

A fashionable fall look, a front-zip hoodie, sold for $44, is available both in an environmentally-conscious evergreen or in deep indigo. Constructed of cotton knit, the slub pointelle fabric clings to curves for a very feminine effect.

Eggshell white cotton creates an aura of antiquity to a long-sleeve drawstring tunic and a striped shirtdress, created with dainty cuff ties, while bell sleeves and a pleated front add flirtatious touches to a tuxedo shirt, All blouses listed carry a $48 price tag.

Vests: Sheryl Crow has an unmistakably sexy stage style, a look which is captured in a bellybutton-baring halter vest made of cotton twill. Animal-friendly attire, faux-leather and faux-suede styles are also available from sizes small through XL. All versions have a price tag of $48.

Jeans: "Every Day Is A Winding Road" for the woman who wears the brand's geographically-inspired jeans.

200886: Love-Inspired Jewelry from Jane Seymour

Having captured the hearts of romantics both on the silver screen (Somewhere in Time) and the small screen (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) it seems only fitting that actress Jane Seymour would chose the eternal symbol of love for her new line of jewelry, Open Hearts by Jane Seymour. Her artist's eye noticing a reoccurring image of an open heart in her paintings, the cinematic beauty has joined forces with Kay Jewelers to launch a collection of bijoux that celebrates love in all its forms.

Available in both sterling silver and 14K gold, the soulful accessories come in a wide variety of styles:

Necklaces and Pendants

From the refined simplicity of sterling silver to the ornate elegance of brilliant round diamonds encased in yellow gold, the collection's signature design offers a visual expression to the jewelry line's motto, "If your heart is open it can never stay broken." Heart shape diamond silhouettes are also held in the embrace of a circular shape or yet another heart, drawn on silver or gold disks, form the image of a cross or cling to each other as they dangle from 18" chains.

Rings

A style to fit every fashion, jewelry lovers can adorn their digits with the sleek, modernistic signature logo, a wide silver band emblazoned with a diamond-studded gold heart, or fall in love with the nostalgic scroll work which imbues the elaborate design of a yellow gold and diamond band.

Bracelets

Mirroring the look of the silver band ring, a silver cuff bracelet accented with a diamond-enhanced gold heart gives the wearer's wrist an added "wow" factor, as does the etched heart logo that decorates a silver disc on a charm bracelet.

Earrings

The perfect complement to the signature ring or necklace, sterling silver twin hearts hover beneath links attached to silver post earring with friction backs. The same design, fashioned from round diamonds, as well as open hearts earrings formed from pink and white gold are also available.

Prices for Open Hearts jewelry range from $39.99 to $1.199.99. For more information visit Kay Jewelers.
