Dooney & Burke, most famous for their line of handbags, are continuing their five year tradition of introducing their trend collection targeted to today's youth. They've also just unveiled the new face of Dooney & Burke - "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere.

In addition to being the new spokeswoman for the purse-makers, they've also collaborated with the actress to release a new bag - The Hayden Bag.

For this current season, Hayden described the bag that she envisioned: a large leather shoulder bag with puffy pleats, a buckle closure and great style.

Working with Dooney & Burke's design studio in Florence, Italy, Peter Dooney and his design team took Hayden's vision and turned it into the limited edition Hayden Bag, which will retail for about $500.

Hayden Panettiere follows in the footsteps of other Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Emma Roberts, who have all been previous spokeswomen for the brand.

Last week, singer and wannabe actress Jessica Simpson launched her new line of handbags, shoes, and perfume. Simpson already has a line of shoes, boots, handbags, jeans, hair extensions, and Dessert treats, but this newest collection will only be sold at Macy's stores.

Jessica Simpson showed up at the Macy's store in New York City to promote her new fashion line and sign autographs. All of the items in her new Macy's "Jessica Simpson" fashion line are available to buy in-store or online.

Meanwhile, Jess' music career has gone stagnant, with her records selling very few copies. Her venture into the movie business doesn't seem to be panning out very well either, with her latest flick "Major Movie Star" already getting panned by the critics.

Following the footsteps of other celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, Amanda Bynes, and Stephon Marbury, tennis ace Venus Williams is unveiling her new line of sporty apparel - EleVen - at Steve & Barry's stores today.

EleVen is the largest fashion collection ever created by a female athlete, and includes a 120 pieces ranging from track suits to denim jackets, sneakers, sports bras, jewelry, and more.

Tiffany & Co. has been the jewelry house of choice for engagement rings and diamonds for almost 170 years now, and beginning this holiday season, they're expanding into eyewear.

Whether you're looking for a posh pair of prescription specs or some shades, you'll be able to get them both at Tiffany's. Styles available include the sterling silver and Lace glasses, the Tiffany Bubbles (which have crystals running along the side), and the Return to Tiffany (which feature the brand's signature sterling silver oval plaque on the side).

Best of all, they're available just in time for the holiday gift-giving season!

Virtually everyone is familiar with the pains of removing wine stains from clothing, furniture, and even your carpet. Well finally one of those problems has been solved. British clothing designer Thomas Pink has come up with a wine stain-proof shirt for both men and women. So when wine comes flying your way, you won't need to worry about it ruining your shirt, but you'll still likely be scrubbing it out of the carpets and couch.

Thomas Pink has created the Pristine Stain Resistant shirts in designs for both men and women. According to the company website, a splash of wine or juice will just roll off the shirt. The shirts are also crease resistant.

The Chanel black satin nail polish that's been all the rage for the past year or so is about to take a back seat to the latest craze in nail color. The next hot trend in nails is NARS' new limited edition shade called "Zulu".

Not only is the dark green shade holiday worthy, but it's also being made available in very limited supplies and only to certain people. Sephora is the only retailer who will be carrying the limited edition polish, and you have to be a Sephora Beauty Insider to get one. But even being a Sephora Beauty Insider won't guarantee that you'll be able to snag one. The polish has reportedly already sold out, and now if you want a bottle of the coveted green stuff, you'll have to add your name to their waiting list online.

You can eat organic food, and now, you can wear organic clothing as well! Stylish jeans-makers "7 For All Mankind" have just come out with new jeans made from 100% organic cotton.

Men can also pick up a pair of Seven's organic jeans, which are available in a straight-leg cut, dark wash. There's also a relaxed "slouchy" fit version. Like the women's organic jeans, these are also versatile enough to wear with just about anything.

The organic Seven jeans for women run at least $160 online, while the men's cost $194 in most outlets. "7 For All Mankind" is a popular brand of jeans favored by celebrities, the well-to-do, and fashion-conscious consumers.

With the launch of the new "audreybag" you can feed your passion for hot new handbags and feel better about your purchase by supporting a good cause. Audrey Hepburn's family have set up a new project that lets us choose from twelve classic, limited edition "audreybags", which are each one of an original limited edition of 36. Each comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Sean Hepburn Ferrer, and all proceeds from the sales of the handbags will go to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund.

The "audreybags" were each handcrafted by Egidio Fontana in the hills of Versilia, Tuscany, where they are precisely cut and stitched by hand, and fastened with the best brass finish hardware available on the market. Each handbag is made of 100% cotton canvas printed with a unique selection of Audrey Hepburn images tailored by Jessica Z. Diamond, a graphic designer and the Hepburn Estate archivist.

You know you'll be getting a quality handbag that is not only nice too look at, but one that will also withstand the test of time. Each bag undergoes an arduous seven-step finishing process to make sure it can stand daily wear. The bag's handles and trim are made of the highest quality, top grain Italian leather, which has been hand-selected for its time-tested patina. affixed to each and every "audreybag" is a leather tag embossed with Audrey Hepburn's trademark signature.

Proceeds will go to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, which was created in 1994 by Audrey's sons, Sean and Luca, and her long-time friend Robby Wolders, in an effort to continue her work as an UNICEF International Goodwill Ambassador. The Children's Fund's mission is to support organizations domestically and abroad that help less fortunate children around the world.

The "audreybag" website is currently scheduled to launch on November 1st, when the bags will go on sale. Prices range from $325 to $825.
