Upon seeing the pictures from Lindsay Lohan's first collection as Ungaro's "artistic adviser", Emanuel Ungaro was far from pleased. Ungaro sold the fashion house that shares his name in 2005 and hasn't had any contact with the label since then. At a film festival in Lisbon, he was asked what he thought about the collection.

Ungar said:

"Lindsay Lohan's collaboration was a disaster. I am furious but I can't do anything about it. Ungaro is in the process of losing its soul. That happens to a lot of designers. We were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our souls."

Well, at least they didn't pay her. Rumor is, she works for them for free.

It's getting to be crunch time. Halloween is just one week away now, and if you haven't already figured out a costume for your children, it's time to get started. Sure, you could probably pick up one up at your local Kmart, but let's be honest - they look and feel cheap. You could make your own, but time is running out. The best solution can be found at your local Children's Place store, where you'll find a great selection of costumes for children, including babies. They're super high quality and affordable.

Available in sizes 0-6 months all the way up to children's size 8, the Children's Place has costumes for both boys and girls. Choose from monsters, monkeys, giraffes, genies, witches, flowers, and pirates, as well as other Halloween themed outfits.

Costume prices range from $22.50 to $29.50 at regular price, but even better bargains are to be had now. All Halloween costumes and clothes are now marked down with a 50% price reduction. You can't beat that.

Instead of looking to their wrists to find out the time, today many people instead pull out their cell phones which are synced with satellites and are more likely to be accurate. Watches, however, still have a very special place in the digital age. While they still tell us the time, watches now are more of a status piece than ever. They are a reflection of our personal style and wealth, and a great accessory to polish up almost any outfit. Finding the perfect watch can be quite a chore. Recently, we were introduced to Michele Watches, which offers watches in both men's and women's styles and are seen on the wrists of Hollywood starlets to business professionals and everyone else in between.

Michele Watches was founded by Jack Barouh, the son of a German watchmaker, Maurice Barouh, who passed on his passion for quality craftsmanship and an expression of style to his son. Michele Watches was launched with the birth of Jack's first child, Michele. At first they created children's watches and expanded from there.

Nike Inc. and Cleveland Cavaliers' star LeBron James are once again working on creating a new shoe - the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. On August 7th at 12:00pm, an event will be held in Akron, OH to discuss their latest collaboration.

The event will be held in Akron at the Community Center, where LeBron played basketball during his childhood. Hosting the event will be Kenan Thompson, a comedian. Nike designer Jason Petrie will also be on hand to discuss the Nike Air Max LeBron VII.

The Nike Air Max LeBron VII, which is likely to become available in a variety of colors and editions, will be unveiled at the event. Unlike previous Nike LeBron shoes, which were from the Nike Zoom family, the new shoes will come with a full Max Air cushioning system. The LeBron Zoom line appears to have now been retired.

Express your individual style with a t-shirt that you won't see five other people wearing as you walk down the street, or head out for a night on the town. Designed by Howard Steenwyk, a former art director for the Los Angeles Dodgers and an LA native, Howard's House of Fine Art now has available an impressive collection of t-shirts.

Included in the collection, which launched in May 2009, are nine designs:

• Beverly: Our perception of beauty, its symbols and status in America.
• Uncle Sam: This symbol is approachable and ominous at the same time. Its ambiguous statement about America could be worn by a left wing liberal or a redneck truck driver.
• NYC: A symbol of hope or a country in decline?
• Was: Our country was built on revolution, and its part of our nature to consistory recreates ourselves. The first 3 letters of Washington is was.
• T-Bone: This image represents everything un-pc, being a pirate, and being a piece of meat as something desirable.
• Traffic Web: LAs architectural highlight is a parking lot.
• Lincoln: Are we maintaining the qualities that made America great or killing them?

When Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX) hit stores and the fashion scene in 2002, many were left scratching their heads. The plastic clog shoes were (and still are) hideous, and yet they were being snatched up from store shelves like crazy. Over the years, fans have touted the comfort of the clogs while the rest of the world just can't wait to be rid of eye sores. Well my friends, it looks as though the end might finally be here.

In 2007, Crocs boasted a profit of $168.2 million. But in just one year, the company found itself struggling with debt. It lost $185.1 million and cut 2,000 jobs, and its stock price dropped 76%.

Crocs now has until September to pay back the losses. But as consumers now show little interest in the $30 shoes, the company is left with a surplus. There is no demand for Crocs.

Speaking with the Washington Post, Damon Vickers, manager of an investment fund at Nine Points Capital Partners in Seattle, said:

"The company is toast. They're zombie-ish. They're dead and they don't know it."

If you're like me, you probably have sandals in a rainbow of colors to match various outfits during the warmer months of the year. Of those you probably have a favorite pair or two that you'd love to wear all the time, but just can't because they don't always match your clothes. To solve this fashion dilemma, I'd like to introduce you to the coolest new sandals available: Switchflops.

Switchflops are comfortable flip-flop style sandals that come with interchangeable straps. The sandals range in price from $35 to $39 depending on the style and come with two different strap sets. Additional straps can be ordered for just $12.

They're great for taking along on a trip too, because bringing extra straps instead of extra footwear takes up far less space in your luggage. The straps are easily interchangeable, and are attached with strong, quality velcro.

Until now, pregnant football fans have been relegated to purchasing oversized men's t-shirts to show their support of the sport. But now, "View" host Elizabeth Hasselbeck has teamed up with the NFL and Reebok to create a new line of football jerseys especially for pregnant women.

Hasselback, a footballer's wife herself who also happens to be pregnant, said:

“The NFL has a tremendous amount of female fans. Watching a game can be a real family bonding experience, and I can tell you that the women behind the games are truly the most intense of the fans.”

The new shirts will feature sayings such as "Kicker" and "#1 Draft Pick" across the belly. The shirts will retail for $15 to $17.50, and will launch not this year, but during the fall 2010 football season.

If you're still looking for a gift to give your dad this Father's Day, which by the way is tomorrow, you can't really go wrong with a quality fragrance. A favorite brand of women for decades, AVON has a great line-up of men's fragrances - Patrick Dempsey Unscripted, Derek Jeter Driven Black, and Ironman - that will sure to be a hit with dad this year.

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey helped to launch AVON's "Unscripted" - a green woody scent - in November 2008. It was developed in collaboration with Yves Cassar and Pascal Guarin, and its notes include cardamom, black peppercorn, fig, lavender, leatherwood, patchouli, vetiver and musk. This Eau de Toilette is available in a 75ml bottle for $32. Also available is the Patrick Dempsey Unscripted Body Wash ($9.00) and the Patrick Dempsey Unscripted After Shave Conditioner ($9.50).

John Malkovich is once again entering the world of men's fashion with a new collection he calls "Technobohemian." On Monday, the actor will host a cocktail and presentation in Milan to promote the new brand.

Malkovich, who first ventured into the world of men's wear in 2002 with his Uncle Kimono line, teamed up with Italy-based production company Uomo Più Italia for the first phase of a lifestyle project that he has under development.

The collection consists of casual looks for men, and will be unviled at the White Homme trade fair in Milan, which runs from Sunday to Tuesday.
