Catherine Malandrino is hitting the bottle this holiday. (Not like that!)

The fashion designer took a break from creating gorgeous, celeb-favored looks to put her stylish touch on a limited edition bottle for the French liquor company Cointreau.

The bottle, which makes a very fashionable holiday hostess gift, is festooned with an all-American theme, including the Statue of Liberty and a smattering of stars. Conveniently, it will debut before Thanksgiving.

The French designer is known for giving a shout out to the land of the free (see her iconic flag dress), so her Americana approach is not a real surprise.

Luggage Wedding Cake made by Palermo Bakery. Photo: Kristyn Mednik

Last month, when I married my college sweetheart, I couldn't help but make the event, well, purse-onal.

Instead of a traditional round three-tiered wedding cake, we opted for a luggage-shaped confection. Handbags would have been too much; it was a wedding not a Sweet Sixteen! Luggage, on the other hand, is needed for the honeymoon by both parties. (My husband isn't exactly a "murse" guy.)

The fondant luggage cake (right) was created by New Jersey-based Palermo Bakery and inspired by vintage MCM, Louis Vuitton and Goyard travel pieces that I found.. As you can imagine, I was quite specific with the shapes, hardware and "leather" texture, but I'd like to think I wasn't a "bridezilla."

While I was certainly an extremely picky customer, I'm just one of many brides who turn to accessories for wedding cake inspiration.

Joanne Bruno, the bakery's owner, sat down with me to discuss this growing affinity for bags in the bakery.

Pamela Pekerman: How many luggage cakes do you make?
Joanne Bruno: It's becoming a big trend. We do two or three a month, for sure. It's popular for bridal showers, not just weddings. People are really into the luggage thing!

Just another Meat Free Monday. From left to right: Mary McCartney, Sir Paul McCartney and Stella McCartney turn out to launch this environmentally aware initiative. Photo: Getty Images

We've all heard of celebrities being vegetarians for ethical and/or health reasons, but the latest star push for the veggie lifestyle centers around climate change.

Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney (along with his daughters Mary and Stella) have come together in support of Meat Free Monday, a U.K.-based organization encouraging people to reduce meat consumption in order to cut carbon emissions.

According to Meat Free Monday, "The UK's Food Climate Research Network suggests that farm to fork is responsible for between 20-30 percent of global green house gas emissions. Livestock production is responsible for around half of these emissions."

To kick off the initiative, Ono and the McCartneys walked the event-appropriate green carpet at Inn The Park in London today (June 15).

Gold bikini? Check! Giant burger? Check! Just another day at the beach for Audrina Patridge! Photo courtesy of Carl's Jr.

What gets "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge going? Apparently, an enormous Teriyaki Six Dollar Burger from Carl's Jr.!

Following in the fast-food footsteps of Paris Hilton and Padma Lakshmi, who previously steamed up screens for the chain, is Patridge (set to star in her own TV series) and her sexy and suggestive new Carl's Jr. ad campaign.

And boy does she put The 'Bu in Burger -- working a skimpy gold bikini, a SoCal tan and a bombshell 'do, all while consuming a burger almost the size of her head.

The sure-to-be controversial commercial will premiere on June 24, coinciding with the burger's release. Both will have mouths watering.

So, tell us in a comment, has Audrina dethroned Paris and Padma to become the reigning burger queen?

Last night at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C, philanthropy-minded fashion fans attended Sweet Charity, an event to benefit The Heart of America Foundation's Books from the Heart program, which gives books to disadvantaged children.

The annual fundraiser includes a silent auction, gourmet tasting stations and an awards ceremony, And then there is the famous (infamous?) Des Alpes Chocolate Fashion Show. Dozens of well-known chefs use their culinary creativity to design clothes -- and decorate models -- with chocolate and sugar confections.

We have to take our hats off to the brave models who strut their stuff down that runway -- a little bit of nervous sweating could have meant wardrobe disaster!

After his recent Broadway shake up, you've probably heard that Jeremy Piven adheres to a strict pesco-vegetarian diet to keep up his trim figure. According to Piven, that's why he not so gracefully bowed out of a Broadway production of Mamet's Speed the Plow at the last minute -- due to mercury poisoning. Well, now the seafood industry is firing back in an attempt to defend the safety of a slimming fish diet. We have to admit, they're pretty convincing.

Of all the bizarre works of sculpture that find their way into museums these days, where exactly does one draw the line between art and plain old weirdness? For the curators of the Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair, the line is apparently drawn at pigs and their body art. According to the Telegraph, officials in Shanghai decided to ban Wim Delvoye's infamous tattooed pigs, some decorated to look like Louis Vuitton handbags, after a slew of complaints rained in from China's animal lovers.

When you think of Tiffany and Co., you imagine luxury and opulence, champagne and caviar. But, that's not exactly what the uniformed waiters were serving on their trays at a recent party celebrating John Loring's latest book, Tiffany Style: 170 Years of Design.

Rather than serve hors d'oeuvres one would expect at such a fete, they served pigs-in-a-blanket. A nod to the weak economy, perhaps? Loring says no, insisting, "That's just American folklore."

Folklore it may be, but all we know is that if we were attending a party having anything to do with Tiffany, we'd be looking for snack foods we didn't tire of in middle school.

Lovers of chocolate swear by the uplifting qualities that it carries. This school of thought is enriched deep in history. In the days of yore ancient Mexican cultures regarded chocolate as something more than a snack, it was an experience. Cabaret wanted to bring cocoa back. So they brewed it.

Being the fashionistas that we are, we don't want to serve just a plain old sheet cake, no siree. We want our cake to be memorable, especially if it's for a special occasion. And not that we have anything against iced flowers, but we want decorations that reflect our personal style.

We want flowers, and birds, and glitz! Give us whimsy, give us glamor -- give us Very Different Cakes!

If you've looked in the refrigerator at your local convenience store, you have to agree that we are now in the midst of a resurgence in patent medicines. Whether it's relaxation, energy, or now even good looks, it purportedly comes in liquid form at the grocery store. But before we totally trash Nestlé's Glowell beauty drink, we should probably give you the lowdown on what its actually claiming to do.

At $7 a pop, this new beauty supplement claims to "nourish and hydrate the skin from within and help fight free radicals, known contributors to the signs of aging." When we first saw that Nestlé was launching beauty drink, we immediately imagined a gross chocolaty Ovaltine-esque concoction, but you probably won't mistake it for a bottle of Yoohoo. Partly because of the price, partly because it will only be available at Niemans and Bergdorf Goodman stores.

It may not have the zip of that old-fashioned snake oil, but apparently there's still room for plenty of unrealistic expectations.

File this one under strange and totally unnecessary:

Fred Flare, the eclectic boutique that carries everything from Harajuku Girls hoodies to hamburger telephones a la Juno, has just added a rather peculiar little item to its online e-commerce site, bacon-flavored dental floss. Yuck, indeed.

Look. We've all been known to chew on hot crispy bacon, Sunday mornings come to mind, but the idea of using a string fused with artificial bacon flavoring after we have just used mint toothpaste to clean our teeth with has our stomachs turning.

But the Fred Flare product description would beg to differ with us, lamenting: "So wrong it's right, this pack of dental floss has the delicious flavor of crispy bacon! Is there anything bacon cannot improve? We think not."

No, Fred. We think you're just plain wrong on this one. *Shivers*
