As In Style recently put it, Banana Republic is "as American as apple pie." It's a place anyone can go and consistently come away with classic pieces with a contemporary twist that will hang in most closets they enter for decades (case in point, the cashmere sweater pictured). In celebration of the brand's past, present and future, many limited edition pieces are cohabiting stores with re-released icons and current, trendy duds for an unforgettable birthday bash.

Britney Spears is on her way up the charts again and we're rooting for her to make this comeback a good one! She's obviously worked hard to get in shape because her body is looking amazing and plus, someone finally fixed those nasty extensions she had in for so long! We just have one little issues with her these days.

If you're a famous teen in need of a bit of an image makeover, there's not better, more wholesome place to have your birthday bash than at Disneyland in California. Miley Cyrus and 5,000 of her closest friends celebrated her sixteenth birthday a month and a half early this past weekend.

She's bacccccckkk.

On September 9th, Kate Moss will be dropping her autumn/winter collection at Topshop. Apparently, there will be lots of "printed chiffon, intricate embroidery, mohair knits, and dropped waist dresses" in this winter wardrobe.

We could kind of say that we caught it with Kristen's post on this drool-worthy ring, but really, we almost missed the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Bestey Johnson fashion label.

Betsey and her business partner and CEO Chantal Bacon had a big bash last Friday to celebrate their long and successful collaboration, which officially started on Betsey's birthday, August 10, 1978.

She and Madonna pretty much defined style in the 80s and her signature look is just as fun and popular today as it was 30 years ago, with embellished skulls, ruffles and bright colors. To celebrate her anniversary and because of popular demand (the best reason, right?) this fall will see the release of the Betsey Johnson Vintage Collection.

Alright so you're trying to plan a party and you're majorly stressed. Sucks all the fun right out of it doesn't it? Try these simple tips to make party planning go more smoothly when you throw your last parties of the summer and first of the holiday season.

Birthday parties, weddings, and other events call for cake. And, if you're trying to throw a stylish soiree, your cake should follow suit. Don't settle for a plain old layer cake or a simple sheet cake -- there's so much more available!

The cakes at I Dream of Cake are sure to make an impact, regardless of the party's theme. They have gorgeous, tall cakes with amazingly intricate floral designs, but if you're looking for something a little more specific, don't worry. They also have cakes in the shape of designer shoes and bags, Buddha, sushi, pianos, famous works of art, and more, making your cake far more than just dessert -- it'll be a centerpiece for the party and a topic of conversation for years to come!

On Thursday, March 20th, the 80th birthday of the late Fred Rogers will be remembered with Sweater Day. You may recall that the sweater was his signature piece. It's also something that most people already have in their closet. That's why they chose it over Loafer and Keds Day, and let's be honest, Trolley Day never really stood a chance.

I'm all for it. I grew up with Mr. Rogers (not personally) and remember his contribution to my childhood fondly. I just wish they had started observing his birthday a few years ago so my friends and I could have bought a keg of Iron City beer and listened to Weezer all night. Come on, you know someone has got to do it.

What's funny is that I hadn't thought much about Mr. Rogers over the years until today, and it wasn't this post that brought back the memories, but the fact that my four-year-old went on a field-trip today to the local planetarium and the show was narrated by Fred Rogers, a 'the planets in our neighborhood' sort of thing. I like to think that the people running the show have kept it due to the timelessness and all things good that is Mr. Rogers, and not that they have no funding and won't include the demise of Pluto until they get the Wiggles version in 2012.

But I digress. March 20th is Sweater Day. Wear one.
