Price ranges are from $18 for accessories such as scarves up to an $89 long-sleeve bodysuit.

Eco-gear has just been taken to a whole other level. Now you can show your love for Mother Earth on your butt! A Lot to Say has an eco-friendly line of undies that are made from recycled plastic bottles. Each pair of undies uses a No Water Dye process, while having some key green facts about the Earth.

By choosing from LOVE, VIRGIN, CONNECT, HOT, TAP, and TURN ON, you can wear some important political and green facts that need to be recognized. For example, the LOVE undies come with eco tips, like "LOVE the planet, lose the plastic. Only 3% of plastic is being recycled. The rest winds up buried in landfills and can take between 200 to 400 years to degrade."

Go green with our A Lot to Say Undies Sweepstakes, and you could win a prize pack of them today!

What do you do to stay green?

Yesterday Nintendo kicked off the launch of their new game Style Savvy with a huge fashion challenge at JCPenney! The Style Savvy "Fashion Fest" challenged mothers and daughters to put their shopping skills to the test by creating a unique look on a budget.

While the teams raced to the racks, we had some time to chat with one of the event's runway judges and fashion designer Charlotte Ronson about her mother daughter shopping experiences! Not only does Ronson have her I Heart Ronson line at JCPenney, it's also one of the 10,000 fashions available in Style Savvy's virtual boutique. Check out what she had to say below.

CosmoGirl: Did you get your fashion genes from your mother?

Charlotte Ronson: I think so. Being twins (with DJ sister Samantha Ronson) we were always dressed the same but she made sure we were able to find our own identity. I loved to wear pink but when I was in trouble she would make me wear blue! My mother never wore full outfits, she always stood out by mixing and matching. Her thing was always asking "Do you love it?" Whenever we would go shopping she would always ask my sister and I if we loved what we were trying on. I was always so indecisive so I'd go home without anything and my sister would go home with everything.

CG: Did your mom ever buy you something that was just hideous?

CR: Oh yes! We all got matching horrible ski jackets. They were a gross green color and overstuffed. We all got one so we could match. There was a lot of matching going on in my family back then.

CG: What is the best shopping tip your mom gave you?

CR: She was never about labels. It was always cooler to find something special and unique.

CG: What is one staple you think all girls should have hanging in their closet?

CR: I think it depends on the person. For me, I'm a more casual person so it's about a great coat and then that will dress up the rest of the outfit.

For more information on Style Savvy, which hits stores Nov. 2, visit Nintendo.com or StyleSavvyDS.com

All dolls are $150 and can be purchased on BarbieCollector.com and Net-a-Porter.com. All collector Barbies come with three pairs of Louboutins and are delivered to you in a Louboutin box!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are launching a new JCPenny line, hitting stores Nov. 6! The line will be a travel-themed clothing line called, Olsenboye with each collection dedicated to a different city.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are also adding sunglasses under The Row label, with retail prices ranging from $325 to $390. As in Olsen fashion, you can expect these shades to be big, bold, and beautiful!

Will you be buying something from Olsenboye?

She's a wiz at Waverly Place and now is quickly becoming a fashion wiz as well! Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is launching her first fashion line for fall 2010 called Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez.

She told WWD that starting a fashion line has always been a dream for her and now, it's becoming a reality. "Growing up in Texas, I was sort of close-minded and kind of a tomboy, but as I've traveled, I found such a love of clothes. It’s really always been a dream of mine to have a line."

Dream Out Loud will be a pretty, feminine line full of bohemian styles in floral printed tops, dresses, accessories, and more. The line will also be eco-friendly, using organic cotton and recycled fabrics.

No word yet on what stores the line will pop up in, but we can't wait to see it! Boho style is a huge trend for fall, and we know Selena's line will be super cute!

Are you excited for Selena Gomez's line, or do you prefer an edgier line like Avril Lavigne's? Tell us your thoughts below!

Living in New York, my wardrobe (and credit card bill) has expanded quite a bit. I find myself always in the mood to shop, probably because you can't walk more than two blocks without running into some kind of store.

Along with shopping way more than I should, I have recently found myself more willing to try trends I previously thought I hated. Case in point, the blazer trend. Blazers have never looked that great on me, and to be honest any time I tried one on I felt like I should be getting ready to go on an interview. But lately, with the slew of new styles that have come out, I find myself being drawn to the blazer.

I purchased this Topshop blazer last weekend and am obsessed with it! Though it was a bit more on the pricey side, it's in a color you can wear with almost anything, making it an investment piece that I can wear for several seasons. If you had told me a year ago I would be wearing a boyfriend blazer out on the weekends, I would have never believed you.

Is there a trend you thought you hated and now loved? I want to hear about it! Post below and tell me about a trend you went from hating to wearing.
