Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to white powder, but this weekend she had a rather unpleasant white powder encounter. While entering the VIP Room Theater in Paris, Lindsay was hit with a flour bomb thrown by an animal rights activist protesting LiLo's fur stole.

Lately the fashion world has been abuzz with spottings of some insanely cool bag seen on the likes of Mary Kate Olsen and Vanessa Traina. This new anti-it-bag has not even been released yet but Proenza Schouler's marketing technique is genius.

For anyone who wants to shrink their carbon footprint, but still look totally fashionable while doing it -- while also dropping a boatload of cash on a car that barely seats two average humans -- Hermes has designed a set of ultra-fashionable micro cars to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Smart Fortwo. The cars, available in 10 colors including gold, indigo, and Hermes' trademark orange, made their debut last Thursday at Paris' Grand Palais.

Melanie Bernier is a gorgeous, young French actress who we've never heard of before, but she made quite an impression at the Quantum of Solace Paris premiere. We cut the French some slack -- they can pull off some edgier, funkier looks than most of us can, but this? Uhhh, no.

When we fall for a designer shoe, we fall hard. The sumptuous two-toned kicks from the Paris-based Erotokritos have been haunting our dreams, and making us consider an investment in patent and suede sexiness.

While other women may dress as a slutty nurse, a slutty witch, or a slutty George Washington for Halloween, a true fashionista knows there are other (better) options out there. Stylelist has a few couture costume ideas so you can have a truly fierce Halloween this year!

Fashion may have "gone ugly," according to the headlines over at Fashion Indie. But, we have to admit we kind of like it. Gone are the days when women dressed solely to impress men. We're now dressing to impress each other and man, that's a tough audience.

You know when you see a celebrity carrying a great bag you'd love to have, but part of the reason you love the bag is that there isnt a huge eyesore of a label on it? So you totally don't know where to get that bag?

So Paris' Fashion Week has final come to an end. *Cue the tears* While we are ecstatic about what's come out of it, we are sad that the most glorious fashion shows on the planet are over. *sigh* We guess we can pull it together enough to reminisce about our five favorite Paris Fashion Week shows – Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Chanel, Lanvin, and Louis Vuitton.

Sonya Rykiel is having a party and she wants everyone to come along for the ride.

In honor of the Parisian label's 40th anniversary, they've created an oriental scent that comes equipped with frankincense-lavender accord, mouth-watering notes of red currant, coffee-blossom and a sweetness of heliotrope and vanilla. In addition, the label also put on a rather spectacular fashion show that consisted of those iconic knit sweaters and playful dresses that Rykiel has become known for, but since our economy is pretty much in the trash right now, we'd advise anyone interested in buying into the big celebration should take the fragrance route.

Why? Fragrances last much longer than trendy tops, the bottles the lovely scents come in make great counter top decorations, and they cost much less than the designer's expensive duds.

To most Paris is the most fashionable city in the world. We have pulled quite a few fun trends for spring from the Paris runways so that you can dress like the French do.

Though we were obviously blown away by the clothes presented at Paris Fashion Week, nothing came close to the amount of amazing accessories shown in collections like Dior, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Karl Lagerfeld.

What do Kate and Cleopatra have in common? More than you might think! Both have attitude, style, and solid gold statues made in their likeness.

Save the Queen! may be lurking just beyond your realm of fashion awareness. Perhaps you've seen them cited in the occasional magazine, or on a website detailing what a particular celebrity is wearing. Their shops are only located in Florence, Paris, and Rome.

Fortunately, they were having a show last time we stopped at The Plaza in New York City. We got a good look at their inventive and exciting designs and wanted to tell you all about it!
