“Hey Faran,

I discovered an awesome little street of graffiti whilst school-tripping through the artsy temple bar region of Dublin Ireland.

Check em out !

Happy St. Patricks day!

So cool!  And click through for a record-sign store that we love.

If you have graffiti, we need it:

Just in case you couldn’t get your hands on that Liberty x Target bike before it sold out…

This cute red Schwinn is from Gucci.

It comes with an Italian leather seat, electric light. and a designer saddle bag clipped to the side!

Unnecessary?

Sure?  But so adorable.

Last month, we asked you to name the best pizza in America.

You delivered quicker than Domino’s, naming a whopping 52 places that got your vote.

Today, we’ve got a new category:

Who’s got the best noodles?

Our NYC votes go to Sammy’s Noodle Shop in the West Village, or Republic in Union Square, whose new Bento Box lunch means you can get their slurpy noodle specialties to go (that’s some of the dishes at right).  What about you?

Do you love Jane Lynch on Glee?

Do you think The Millionaire Matchmaker should have its own recurring SNL skit?

Then tune into Lovespring International, a short-lived comedy series about a warped and demented dating service run out of LA.

Starring Ms. Lynch, plus the chick from The Brady Bunch Movie, the TV show was too funny / sarcastic / smart to live for more than one season on Lifetime, but you can stream full episodes for free on their website.

And yeah, it’s way better than Project Runway.

Are Alex & Chloe tired of sitting at the kids’ table?

Judging by their new Trinity collection, the answer is “yes.”

Inspired by Biblical references, the range has studded brass crosses, angel wing earrings, and a tiny bronze shofar - the Biblical trumpet of heaven - featured as a charm.

Our favorite, the Crown of Thorns ring at left, is pretty indicative of Alex & Chloe’s latest project:

It’s cool, a bit goth, and more expensive than what we’re accustomed to seeing:

$230 per piece.

Last night at an uptown party, we bumped into a Dior model.

“I’m going to Corsica for vacation,” she said.

“How fabulous,” we replied.

“I just bought these new Louboutin wedges for the beach,” she continued.

“How insane,” we mused.

“And the cutest swimsuit from Target!” she exclaimed.

“How true!” we agreed.

Because it’s a well-kept secret that Target swimsuits are kind of amazing.  They’re affordable.  They fit all body types.  They’re available in fun prints (see Liberty of London’s version for Target, at left).  And they last forever (we’re still prancing around the pool in our Luella for Target bikini, circa 2007).

Socialite worn. Real cool girl approved.  Check them out. 

What is with Young Hollywood lately?

They’re being well dressed and well behaved - and the tabloid editors must be fuming.

Meanwhile, we’re thrilled to see Vanessa Hudgens dressing like a cool, sophisticated, urbane young starlet - a total change from her Disney persona of yore.

At left, she wears AllSaints’ Devo Dress on the ShoWest red carpet.

Maybe she took the hint from Dakota Fanning…

Or maybe she just realized the golden rule:

Metallic dress =

Minimal hair and makeup.

Simple shoes and accessories.

Overall, a very good example.

Though our heart breaks that we’re not at South by Southwest this year, we’re living vicariously through Urban Outfitters.

They’ve got a new download - 25 songs for free - that showcases the best (and newest) talent performing this week.

And you know what they say:

Love is free.

Liberty is free.

Rock and roll should be free, too! 

Oh Fred Flare.

You’re just sooo clever, aren’t you?

Taking our favorite snack - a cupcake - and making it into a key fob?

Then giving them these adorable little munchie faces?

It should really be illegal.

Especially since they’re only $6.
