When we were in high school, someone -- without fail -- would always reach into our gym bags while we were working out and steal either our brand new Lancome juicy tube or our beloved Dior 'Lash Out' mascara before the year was out. It got so bad that we actually resorted to hiding our cherished beauty products in our funky New Balance gym shoes.

Yes, if only there had been a U*Tique vending machine inside our locker room so the thief could have bought her own items!

You don't have to be as skinny as Lindsay to wear her leggings, or as crazy. But it helps.

We thought we had to wait until the end of August for the 6126 leggings line, oh-so-originally named for Marilyn Monroe's birthday, to appear at Fred Segal. Hat tip to Perez Hilton for the great news that we can see the first four items and get them early, as in right this minute!

Yes, if you've been dying for a pair of shiny leggings...with built-in, quilted knee pads...named "Mr. President" (Finish the tasteless Friday joke: what's the difference between an egg, meat and a ____ ___? Hint: you can't beat it!) then today is your lucky day.

Get a look at the rest of this traumatic magic in the gallery, or head on over to shop intuition and place your order now, before they're gone. Those leopard ankle gloves are going to fly off the shelves. Absolutely fly.

For those of you who have been waiting ever so patiently to find out where, oh where you could pick up some leggings from Lindsay Lohan's new line, your wait is nearly over. The actress-turned-fashion-designer has signed an exclusive deal with Fred Segal stores.

Last night I partied like the Warhol muse that I think I am at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. The event celebrated Fred Segal's new pop-up store, which exclusively carries the collection by Damien Hirst in collaboration with the Warhol Factory and Levi's.

The scene was not your typical fashion-event-going crowd; it was very (very) hipster -- lots of grungy boys and girls wearing hoodies, sneakers and jeans (which of course was fitting considering the collection was based on those pieces). DJ's were spinning, drinks were being mixed, and photographers were snapping away -- Warhol would have been proud.

The collection itself was pretty darn cool too! Amazing skull bedazzled jeans, skull printed short-shorts, tee shirts, and one of my favorite pieces were the shiny leather jackets. In fact, I liked the jacket so much that I got one of the hipsters to model it for me.

Check out the store at Fred Segal in Santa Monica on Broadway and 4th Street (420 Broadway).

Robin Coe-Hutshing is the owner at Studio at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, CA and one of the most influential beauty buyers in the US. I was able to pull her away for a few minutes during the Fred Segal sale for a quick interview.

Since the contents of a woman's purse say so much -- I asked Robin 'what are five can't-live-without beauty products that you carry in you purse?'

1.) Lip gloss. Robin simply can't live without a tube of lip gloss (can we blame her?). Right now Robin is carrying Stila's newest item, Stila Long Wear. This lip color is a lipstick and gloss in one so it saves on space in your bag,

2.) Concealer. Carrying concealer is smart; it hides blemishes and any bags you might be carrying under your eyes. Robin prefers Laura Mercier's Continuous Coverage concealer.

3.) Hand cream. Robin does a lot of traveling which can wreak havoc on the hands, so she is never without a tube of hand cream.

4.) Mints. Getting caught with bad breath is everyone's worst nightmare. Robin Coe-Hutshing has to have Sencha Green Tea mints everywhere she goes. These mints have an exotic green tea blend accented with a subtle mint taste. Nothing as harsh as say an Altoid -- they're perfect.

5.) Compact. A purse isn't a purse without a compact, how else can you make sure you are looking your best? Robin always carries her Swarovski encrusted compact by Evelyn Lauder. It even has a little palm tree on it.

I also asked Robin what upcoming products should be on our radar. According to Robin there is a lip plumper by Dr. Kaplan that is hitting shelves at Fred Segal that works incredibly well. The beauty of this product is that is developed by an actual dermatologist and has been tested and proven to inflate your lips. This season Dr. Kaplan isn't offering lip color in his collection, but he will in spring '08, so be on the look out. Another product Robin was able to tell us about was the new line of Burn candles. If you haven't tried Burn candles I suggest you do; they smell wonderful. The new spring collection is being sold early (Holiday '07) exclusively at Fred Segal.

Finally I asked Robin if she had a beauty secret that all women should know. After a bit of pondering, Robin had a secret to share. Never take your eyebrows into your own hands without consulting a professional. She suggests going to a pro once a month and touching up at home. Once you get the perfect shaping by a professional, snap a picture of yourself and use that as your guideline for creating your perfect brow at home. Trust me, that is great advice. I went to town on my eyebrows with a store bought stencil and my results were less than perfect.
